Lastly, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Ubisoft Store. It will release for Switch 2 on December 2. Recently, we interviewed one half of the duo behind the game’s soundtrack: The Flight. Further, Final Weapon had the chance to review Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
We rated the game a 2.5 and described it as a “small, yet flawed, step in the right direction for the series. While the story, characters, visuals, music, and main gameplay mechanics shine, the lack of development for the protagonists, the boring side quests, the continued emphasis on combat instead of stealth, and the frustrating action RPG mechanics severely hinder the experience. Unfortunately, it’s not the evolution of the series that many fans were hoping for, and it pales in comparison to other games that have handled its formula far better.”
