In this video from GamingBolt, we delve into the world of Assassin's Creed Shadows and the valuable lessons it can learn from the likes of Ghost of Tsushima and Rise of the Ronin. The team at Shadows must take notes from Ghost of Tsushima's exceptional open world design, which entices players with addictive optional content and encourages exploration at every turn. A visually striking world is crucial for Shadows to captivate its audience, drawing inspiration from the natural beauty portrayed in Ghost of Tsushima.
Combat is another area where Shadows can shine by adopting Ghost of Tsushima's precise and slick fighting style, offering a refreshing change from the brute force approach seen in previous Assassin's Creed titles. The progression system in Shadows should strike a balance between complexity and player engagement, taking cues from the simplicity and effectiveness of Ghost of Tsushima's character shaping mechanics. Rise of the Ronin serves as a cautionary tale for Shadows, warning against lackluster side content and empty city environments that fail to immerse players in the game world.
Furthermore, Shadows must prioritize strong storytelling to avoid the pitfalls of clumsy writing that plagued Rise of the Ronin, ensuring that the narrative complements the rich historical setting. Technical polish is non-negotiable for Shadows to deliver a seamless gameplay experience, learning from Rise of the Ronin's minor yet impactful technical issues that detracted from the overall immersion. By incorporating these lessons from both successes and failures in the gaming industry, Assassin's Creed Shadows has the potential to carve its own path and offer players a truly unforgettable experience in the long-awaited Japanese setting.
