Jordan Hermes delves into the world of Assassin's Creed Shadows, the latest addition to the iconic franchise. This time, players are introduced to two protagonists, Ni and Yasuke, each bringing their unique flair to the game. While Ni excels in stealth mechanics, allowing players to go prone and utilize throwing stars, Yasuke leans more towards combat, lacking the depth and finesse of his stealthy counterpart. The game's open world is brought to life with a dynamic weather system, influencing gameplay and strategy as players navigate through changing environments.
Jordan applauds Shadows for striking a balance between action, stealth, and parkour, marking it as a standout title since the franchise's shift to RPG elements. The return of the eagle vision ability adds a nostalgic touch, enhancing the stealth experience for players. Despite some shortcomings in Yasuke's gameplay, Shadows offers a fresh and approachable entry point for both seasoned fans and newcomers to the series. Jordan's frustration with the recurring theme of multiple playable protagonists in Assassin's Creed games is palpable, as he questions the necessity and impact of this design choice on the overall gaming experience.
