tactical stealth, the game delivers. If you’re more into a challenging combat experience, Yasuke’s overwhelming strength may leave you wanting more.
TheSixthAxis \- Adrian Burrows \- 9 / 10
>Fans of Assassin's Creed have waited an era or two for a series entry that lets you be a ninja and explore Feudal Japan. Thankfully, the wait has been absolutely worth it. Assassin's Creed Shadows is an astonishing achievement. Vast, impossibly detailed, immaculately researched, and enormously fun, Shadows is easily one of the best games in this storied franchise.
Push Square \- Robert Ramsey \- 8 / 10
>While Assassin's Creed Shadows is unlikely to win over those who struggled to push through Odyssey or Valhalla, this is still one of the strongest overall entries in the series - and arguably the best of the open world RPG bunch. The storytelling is largely fantastic, the main characters are deeply likeable, and the open world itself is a thing of beauty.

yet. While no one can say if Shadows will be the all-timer hit that both Ubisoft and the series need right now, I can at least say that it’s more than worthy of your time.
Kotaku \- Zack Zwiezen - Unscored
>Assassin’s Creed Shadows doesn’t completely revolutionize the core of the franchise. You still climb towers, take out targets, sneak around places, and interact with real history. However, it does shake up everything around these cores. Now you might climb a tower during winter and see a whole different view than you did in summer. Now you can sneak in the shadows as a lithe assassin or kick down the door as a samurai tank. And it leads to one of the most dynamic, fun, and best-looking open-world games I’ve played this generation, and one of the best Assassin’s Creed titles in years.
Hardcore Gamer \- Kevin Dunsmore \- 3.5 / 5.0
>Assassin’s Creed Shadows had a lot of elements on paper that made it sound like it could be the best Assassin’s Creed game in years. It was finally going to be set in the long-requested Japanese setting, classic era fans were getting a narrative-focused experience and a greater focus on stealth, and RPG-era fans were getting their vast open-world and activities. While Shadows does deliver on a lot of these aspects, it also falls short on nearly as many. Yaskue and Naoe are fantastic characters with stories worth witnessing from start to end, but their stories are told with some of the franchise’s worst animations. The world is beautiful to explore, yet parkour remains an afterthought. Both combat and stealth are the most mechanically deep they’ve ever been, yet are both hampered by RPG mechanics that dilute their effectiveness and make them unnecessarily tedious.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun \- Unscored
>A beautiful recreation of 16th century Japan is stained with the clumsy ink of an uninspiring revenge tale, but take your time sneaking through castles and visiting temples to get the most from an impressive open world.
PC Gamer \- Morgan Park \- 80 / 100
>Come for the neck stabs and stay for the surprisingly great combat, Assassin's Creed Shadows is a stealth action buffet with a story to forget. I don't think Shadows is something to marathon. You could completely ignore the story, come back six months later, and still be up to speed (the heads gotta roll). I know I'll still be picking away at its 30+ castles later in 2025 and 2026, because I get the itch for a great stealth game every few months, and now I have a new one with a whole lot of stuff to do.
IGN \- Jarrett Green \- 8 / 10
>Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s return to the stealthy style that launched this series doesn’t do everything right, but everything it does feels like it was done with purpose. This means a shorter game with a smaller map, fewer collectibles, smaller scope in combat, and a limited selection of gear to play with – all of which I found refreshing relative to the arguably bloated scale of 100-hour games like Odyssey and Valhalla. It also means an overly simplistic plot with mostly forgettable characters, but what the story lacks in depth it makes up for with its straightforward quest progression and fast pacing.

I am the (sort of secret?) co-writer of Spec Ops: The Line, AMA
I was hired to be the senior game designer in charge of weapons, shooting, and balance. I ended up doing a bunch of other stuff as well, including writing 75% of the lines (which ended up being only maybe 30-40% of the total dialog runtime, since a lot of them were super short barks).
There were a bunch of other writers involved at various points, but only two of us actually ended up getting text in the game in the end. Looking back, it's kind of crazy it ended up working out as well as it did.

4/5
>Not every idea comes together neatly, and two phenomenal protagonists feel wasted on a lackluster story, but this is a titan in the same leagues as series staples Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag – and Ubisoft's best RPG to date.
GameSpot \- Jordan Ramée \- 8 / 10
>So much of Shadows' issues come from Yasuke's inclusion. Not because he's a badly written character or because he doesn't feel like he belongs, but because much of what makes an Assassin's Creed game an Assassin's Creed is stripped away to make his samurai fantasy work. Naoe's shinobi fantasy works far better, effortlessly sliding into the gameplay loop of hunting down mysterious targets, puzzling through the best way to reach them, cutting them down, and disappearing without a trace. Naoe and Yasuke's story could have used more unity, especially in giving the duo a shared purpose to drive the plotline and their character development forward. But at the very least, Naoe's gameplay is the best that the series has felt since the transition to a more action-RPG format--Assassin's Creed Shadows is an absolute blast to play.
VG247 \- Dom Peppiatt \- 5 / 5
>I’m actually at the point where I’m enjoying finding little problems with the game, because - most of the time - I know that means there’ll be something interesting on the other end of it. That is high praise for any work of art, but in a video game… it really feels like something special.
Tom's Guide \- Nikita Achanta \- 4/5
>Assassin's Creed Shadows delivers on its promise of bringing back classic stealth mechanics while introducing new ones and combining the best of the older and RPG titles. The detailed open-world of feudal Japan feels full of life with compelling playable and non-playable characters, and different fighting tactics enrich the combat. But the game struggles to balance its two playable protagonists, and player choices are still inconsequential. TODAY'S BEST DEALS $69.99 at Amazon(Download) $69.99 at Best Buy $69.99 at Walmart
DualShockers \- Ethan Krieger \- 5.5 / 10.0
>Assassin's Creed Shadows is a bloated collection of uninspired quests that quickly turn into a repetitive, boring grind. While the art and history teams deserve recognition for their efforts, it's all unfortunately wasted on a narrative that goes nowhere, is poorly explained, and has no satisfying resolutions.
New Game Network \- Alex Varankou \- 74/100
>Another solid entry for the series, Assassin's Creed Shadows offers a wonderfully rendered natural world, though it's not as unique as it once could have been. The typical mix of stealth and action gameplay is still enjoyable and is now split between two protagonists, though switching between them can be cumbersome. Fans of the franchise should be satisfied, if not exactly impressed.
Cloud Dosage \- Jon Scarr \- 4.5/5
>Whether Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the best entry in the series depends on what you enjoy. If you enjoy

Fextralife \- 8.5 / 10.0
>Expansive, detailed and polished, Assassin's Creed Shadows is a fantastic exploration and stealth game with beautiful Japanese aesthetics, somewhat diminished by a thin story, clumsy narrative, and immersion-breaking design choices. Despite this, it's a thoroughly enjoyable entry into the series for fans seeking to explore medieval Japan.
GRYOnline.pl \- Jakub Paluszek \- 6/10
>I have experienced quite a few really cool moments while playing Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, but after 40 hours of playtime all those moments are lost in time like tears in rain. This new Creed has some interesting ideas to shake up the formula, but none of them are good enough to make it count. All in all, any potential for greatness was squandered for yet another opportunity to make a very big game.
Game Rant \- Matt Karoglou \- 9/10
>Assassin's Creed Shadows is a spectacular return to form for the franchise, delivering one of the series' more tightly focused historical adventures. Shadows is both the most tightly-paced and consistently rewarding entry in the modern Assassin's Creed games, delivering a version of Ubisoft's open-world gameplay that regularly fires on all cylinders in terms of its visual spectacle, historical tourism, meaningful side activities, satisfying combat, and compelling plot that drives the player forward.
Eurogamer \- Tom Phillips \- 4/5
>Majestic in scope, impressive in detail, Assassin's Creed Shadows honours the beauty of feudal Japan, even if its strongest moments are saved for the personal stories of two protagonists. And yes, for longer-term Assassin's Creed fans, there are a couple of moments that will excite those with a wider knowledge of the lore. But in general, Shadows is more standalone than perhaps any other game in the franchise to date, its focus fully on Japan, and free of any continuing characters or modern day storylines. That said, there's definitely space left for the future - within Shadows itself through more stories, or perhaps in another game entirely. Before the end credits roll, each character's story is rounded out but also given a tease of what's next, too.
TheGamer \- George Foster \- 4/5
>Despite some repetition and bloat that makes Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ final stretch drag more than the rest of the game excites, its brave approach to exploration in a gorgeous world, heartfelt personal stories, and satisfying tweaks to the formula still make it stand as one of my favourite entries
