Here’s the real kicker - underneath it all, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be anAssassin’s Creedgame.
It will be fun in places, janky in others.
Some quests will be cool, many will drag.
Underneath it all, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be an Assassin’s Creed game.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Cannot Be More Of The Same
Can this possibly be enough?
But also, many would say Valhalla is just ‘good enough’.
Five years later, can Shadows be just good enough and succeed?
Is Assassin’s Creed Ready For The Culture War?
Another obvious factor that will alter the tone around the game is the ongoing culture war surrounding it.
This stems from the factYasuke (a real historical figure)is the star of the game.
More accurately, it stems from the fact Yasuke is a Black man.
How biased or legitimate this criticism of the game may be is largely moot, however.
The fact is it exists, and has dominated the conversation around the game for a year.
These doubters may not be acting in good faith, but they are acting loudly nonetheless.
It leaves Shadows with a lot to do.
It’s not fair, but it is accurate.
For Shadows, it might not be.
We’ll just have to wait and see.
