Assassin's Creed Shadows Review - IGN

The long-awaited Japan adventure sharpens and refines its edge without fully reforging it.

Looks Great good to see your positive on it Obscure I Have Nothing to Play until Then Ready to Play this.

GamingExplained101303d ago

You can tell Ubisoft is doing damage control because it looks like they spent a lot buying positive reviews for this turd, that was their last hope lol

You people are so brain dead. Every single time a gane that triggers you snowflakes get a high score, it's bought.

SolidBoss816304d ago

I am excited to play this! My wife and I are huge AC fans and we have been anticipating this one.

goken304d ago

Somehow, you never fail to represent the “popular” opinion 😃

andy85304d ago (Edited 304d ago )

Expected slightly higher overall. Still looking forward to it!

Jingsing304d ago

Ubisoft isn't going to change if the mass media keep eating up AC after AC.

Christopher304d ago

I mean, if people keep buying it, why should they change? Same thing with CoD and annual sports games. There's a market, so they make it for that market.

Profchaos304d ago

To be fair there's a lot riding on this for Ubisoft

TheColbertinator304d ago

Good point. If people don't want AC, they can pick up something else.

Popsicle303d ago (Edited 303d ago )

@Chris unfortunately you are right. I used to enjoy some of the 2K games before it became overloaded with microtransactions and pay to win schemes. I quit buying them years ago, but there are enough people out there willing to “pay to win” year after year that there is no meaningful reason for 2K and others to change.

The classic Ubisoft safe 8

Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla and now Shadows...the Metacritic is roughly the same for all of them, between 80-83. May aswell give the next AC a 83 on Metacritic now.

Chard304d ago

It’s an Ubi game, so unless/until they shake up their formula we know exactly what we’ll be getting, and have already formed a view on whether we want more of that. So the score is redundant.
The only AC game I’m interested in is the rumoured Black Flag remake to see if they will remove any of the crap content that was in the otherwise great original

lucasnooker304d ago

Honestly it looked like an 8/10 from miles away…

Kornholic304d ago

The closer you look the more it looks like a 5/10 game.

lukasmain303d ago

It really doesn't if you look at it objectively.

I agree 💯% with top 1 and 2.

Rebel_Scum15d ago

AC Shadows is in but Ghost of Yotei is not? Out of all the ninja games that came out this year AC Shadows isnt even in the top 5.
