Assassin’s Creed Shadows
A gorgeous journey through feudal Japan, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a thrilling ride packed with moments that’ll have you glued to the edge of your seat. Granted, that’s provided you choose to play as Naoe in your playthrough since co-protagonist Yasuke doesn’t fit in this action RPG nearly as well as his shinobi counterpart. Naoe’s gameplay improves upon the standard stealth experience, and although there are narrative flaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is still a valuable addition to the series.
