Assassin's Creed Shadows Limited Edition (Exclusive to Amazon.uk) (Xbox Series X)

A Fantastic game. Excellent open world exploration with absolutely gorgeous Japanese scenery with alot of tasks and side quests to enjoy along with actitivies. There is a tonne of stuff to do. This is what an open world game should be! 100%. The protagonists are both very varried each with their own vastly unique combat techniques and weapons. Naoe being more Shinobi while Yasuke is more samurai orientated in combat and techniques. It's clear that there has been alot of research and work put in by ubisoft and they have alot of history explanations in the codex which is cool as it will detail places, history of culture and other history while also showing pictures actually taken from Japan culture and history. The Combat is very fun and cleverly executed for both playable characters. Naoe is very acrobatic and can jump and somersault while climbing down roofs which Is nice and she also has a grappling hook which is very useful to get to the top of buildings while remaining unsean quickly. Yasuke however is a powerhouse and can run into doors to break them with force. His sword combat is very different to how Naoe wields her sword which is also a show of attention to detail as they both have vastly different talents. The Combat is fun and effective with both characters and I had fun playing as both of them and it also sets the game appart as you can switch when you want a different outcome. Naoe is better at stealth abilities while Yasuke is Very good at going in all guns blazing. The scenery is very well crafted with accurate representations to Japan culture and architecture which is very impressive. I am very impressed with Shadows so far and been thouroughly enjoying it. I would recommend this game if your a fan of the samurai and ninja days of fuedal Japan while also being intrigued about the history of how the first black samurai became a samurai under oda nobinaga. It's all very much true historically aswell if you go on history pages as much as people claimed that it wasn't true and slated the game before release. Turned out to be one of the best games in the series.

Loving the game. Another 100+ hours of my life playing AC. It will take me about a year to complete!

ASSASSINS CREED SHADOWS XBOX SERIES X Shadows is absolutely amazing from beginning to end, best assassins creed creed game ever made for me by a mile, I personally love the Japanese theme, so much amazing detail has gone into every part of the design from the levels and the stunning weather effects, especially snow, the characters and the outfits and armour and swords and weapons, so much choice and design and even customisation. If you love a big game there's plenty to do with main story and lots of side quests and things to find as usual, the photo mode is amazing too with hours of fun there to distract you from the game. I've had no problems with how the game runs, its fast pace and smooth action always, the game is insanely violent and bloody and some of the finishers with all weapons are brutal at times. Amazing game and a must own.

As someone who buys Assassin’s Creed every year, I enjoyed this and it definitely kept me hooked enough to finish it, it feels a bit different to the usual Assassin’s Creed games which was refreshing, and overall it’s comfortably above average, but it never really had those proper shock moments or twists where you think “I didn’t see that coming,” so for me it’s good, just not an all-time classic.

Last assassins creed game I played was Valhalla. Unpopular opinion but I really enjoyed that and that was easy to get used to the controls. This is more complicated but once you fully get used to it on the story mode for a couple of weeks on and off then you grow accustomed to it. Story is excellent, plenty of gameplay variation. Not got far in the game but I highly recommend it so far.
