Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a slasher movie — and you’re the killer
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a slasher movie in which players are the killer, catering to elder millennial fans longing for the original franchise recipe of ninja stealth kills.
- The game combines the iconic assassination simulator elements of the 2007 release with modern gaming features like lifelike graphics and abundant murder-ready gizmos.
- Ubisoft's Assassin’s Creed franchise evolved over the years, straying from stealth gameplay to action RPGs with superhero-like protagonists armed with powerful weapons.
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows reintroduces stealth elements through dual protagonists: Yasuke for combat-heavy players and Naoe, a ninja reminiscent of Altaïr from the original game.
- Players primarily control Naoe, a lethal assassin who can stealthily eliminate enemies with a single stab, blurring the line between combatants and civilians.
- The game's graphics allow for visceral kills, with swords decapitating bodies and blood spraying, but a gore toggle exists for less graphic gameplay.
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows explores the dark allure of being an unstoppable force, embodying the slasher genre's ruthless inevitability within the gaming narrative.
- The game satisfies the author's childhood dream of a ninja game with one powerful assassin causing devastation, although the realism of the violence adds a new complexity.
- Embracing the role of a relentless killer in a cinematic, slasher-style setting, Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a captivating experience for fans of the series seeking a return to stealth-based gameplay.

InZoi’s early access misses its shot to launch the definitive Steam Deck life sim
- InZoi's early access release falls short of being a good fit for the Steam Deck, as it struggles with compatibility issues and lacks portable optimization.
- Launching InZoi on the Steam Deck presents problems like a black screen due to an incompatible introductory video and an unclickable main menu screen.
- A workaround involves installing Proton GE and adjusting the FullscreenMode setting in a configuration file, making InZoi playable on the Deck.
- However, controls remain fiddly with trackpad navigation and inconvenient UI interactions, making gameplay cumbersome.
- InZoi lacks cloud save support and faces errors in offline mode, limiting its integration with Steam features beneficial to Deck users.
- Despite some potential improvements in the future, the current state of InZoi on the Steam Deck suggests waiting for technical fixes and better control schemes.
- Performance-wise, InZoi runs decently on the Steam Deck, with a Very Low quality preset delivering around 40fps on an LCD screen.
- Overall, the underwhelming experience of InZoi on the Steam Deck suggests that fans of life sims are better off sticking to established titles like The Sims 4.
