RPS Verdict: Assassin's Creed Shadows
- Assassin's Creed Shadows revolves around assassinating a group of masked bad guys known as the Onryo, with a lot of emphasis on assassinations using hidden blades and katanas.
- The game is considered quite 'assassin-y,' ranking higher on the Assassin-y meter compared to recent entries in the franchise, with a focus on stealth gameplay.
- The open world in Shadows is filled with checklist-type tasks like collectibles, fights, meditative games, and the game's photo mode, reminiscent of Ubisoft's open-world design approach.
- Quest waypoints in the game provide clues instead of direct locations, aiming to make players observe and think more critically to reach their objectives.
- Exploration in Shadows allows players to venture into higher-level regions early, but caution is needed to avoid encountering overly powerful enemies.
- Base management in the game offers activities like sumi-e wildlife painting, and players can add multiple cats to their base among other features.
- Shadows has historical significance as it launches amidst potential corporate restructuring within Ubisoft and aims to appease fans who desired a Japan-set Assassin's Creed game.
- Some critics voice the desire for more diversity in game settings, suggesting regions like Cambodia or Vietnam for future Assassin's Creed titles to explore.
