Summary

Assassins Creed Shadowsand Ghost of Tsushima have a lot in common.

But, they still do it in a few different ways.

Shadows is Ubisofts expansive action RPG, while Tsushima is more of an action-adventure game with streamlined mechanics.

Bloodborne, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

These games offer plenty to enjoy after Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Both games have their strengths, whether it’s in graphics, story, or gameplay.

But still, there are a few things that one game does better than the other.

Yasuke stands in the rain on the left, Nagato plays music on the right, and Naoe looks past us in the center, all in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The game also hasa full seasonal system, which changes how the world looks throughout the year.

As for Ghost of Tsushima, it still holds up well.

Ultimately, both games look great and have their strengths, and this is a close tie.

While Yasuke and Naoe are interesting protagonists, most of the supporting cast aren’t as memorable.

The voice acting, writing, and character interactionscould also be much better.

5Immersion

Both games do a fantastic job of recreating their respective time periods.

Each VA give it their all in this one.

Both games also offer HUD customization options to make the experience more immersive, such as removing certain elements.

Ghost of Tsushima does a better job of keeping you immersed.

3Exploration

Both games offer plenty of worthwhile side activities and reasons to explore.

The game also includes temples, shrines,several enemy castles, and numerous collectible activities with decent rewards.

Although, one area where Assassins Creed Shadows is more impressive is its cities.

Hence, this has to be a tie.

While this variety is nice, the combat itself isnt quite as smooth or responsive as it could be.

Ghost of Tsushima

Even an Assassin can find love.

The combat in Ghost of Tsushima easily wins this category.

It still holds up extremely well against current-gen games.
