The newest Ubisoft game will be released very soon, but, for now, we have its first review scores. It is important to remember that the results of the Shadows are crucial for the fate of the French corporation. Depending on the success or failure, Ubisoft might be sold on different conditions. With that in mind, let's dive into the reviews.

In total, the game only slightly surpasses 80 out of 100. On Metacritic, Shadows have the score of 82. 

Journalists have described Assassin’s Creed Shadows as an excellent game, though not necessarily a contender for the best action RPG in recent years. The game’s combat system has been praised as both spectacular and “hardcore.” Some reviewers even stated that they enjoyed the combat more than in previous entries.

The dual protagonist concept was seen as an interesting idea, but its execution received mixed feedback. Reviewers appreciated Naoe’s gameplay, but expected more from Yasuke.

The story also had a mixed reception. According to reviews, the narrative felt somewhat unremarkable and forgettable. Additionally, the dual protagonist structure made the story feel disjointed, with a lackluster ending.

On the technical side, there were no major performance issues. Journalists noted that the game maintained a stable frame rate with no significant drops. However, in some instances, animations didn’t always appear smooth and fluid.

The game is set to release this Thursday.
