Assassin's Creed Shadows: AC Japan

[illwill10]

I'm definitely looking forward to playing this game. I have it set to come in tomorrow or Saturday through Gamefly. I'm seeing reports that a PSSR patch will come post launch. So, I'm debating on holding off playing it until the PSSR patch comes in

Outside of the political agenda, I'm intrigued. Can anybody tell me how it compares to Ghost of Tsushima? Might pick it up tomorrow on my day off.

I am a few hours in and the story is already miles better than Valhalla. I enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, and this feels familiar but with that AC flavor. Combat isn't as challenging as Ghost, but it's fun. I really enjoy the game so far.

The different seasons and the weather effects in this game is insane. Haven't seen weather like this since Red Dead Redemption 2. I explored a tad bit far to an area that is way too powerful for me, got killed fast. I like how you can lay prone and belly crawl around.

Alright, got up to level 5 for armor and katana. Not going to lie, if you reckless, even people the same level as you can take you out very quickly. Haven't progressed much in the story due to trying to find resources in order to build stuff and upgrade stuff. Did a contract, which I thought would be easy, NOPE.

I must say nothing appear to be easy in this game other than tiny bandit camps, but even then they can be a problem if too many people see you. 2 people you can handle, 3 or more than it becomes a you might die in the next 10 seconds kind of moment. So stealth, scouting and planning is the name of the game for this game for sure. Tried to attack a temple. Man I barely made it out of there. I can only imagine how hard castles will be.

But yeah due to how much stuff costs to do in the game, I can easily see me spending 100 hours or more in this game. Mainly due to resources aren't easy to come by, you definitely have to work for them via doing contracts, raiding bandit camps, temples, castles, etc.

I do love you can talk to people and NPCs talk among themselves.

Devs did a great job on this game. Very nice indeed! I don't see it as assassins creed, this is my current generation Tenchu lol.

15 hours later and I finally made it to the part of the story where I can switch between Naoe and Yasuke. So yeah you play as the lady for very long time only.

I'm only level 10, but so far there is already so much I love and hate about the game.

Love:
- Such a beautiful game!
- Stealth elements (I'm a big stealth guy..love Metal Gear)
- Having fun exploring and climbing viewpoints
- Assassinations (I have Guaranteed Assassination turned on)
- Parkour with Noeh

Hate:
- NPC AI is ridiculously dumb
- Whistling is OP
- Combat is so clunky
- I keep getting stuck on parts of the map
- Already seems like a repetitive AC game that I'll play for a while, but won't finish (Ala Valhalla)
