The game instantly soared to the second spot on Steam's bestseller list, trailing only Counter-Strike 2, and within a few hours of its release, it claimed the top position in the global sales rankings.

Additionally, the new installment is showing growth in peak concurrent players on Steam: from 18,000 to nearly 26,000. While these numbers may not seem staggering, it's a fairly solid result for a newly released game. It is expected that the player count will rise even further over the weekend.

The user rating for Assassin's Creed: Shadows is marked as "Very Positive". In their reviews, players highlight numerous strengths, including a beautiful open world, high-quality combat animations, and an engaging prologue. Some admit that the controversies surrounding Shadows, related to deviations from real history and the portrayal of Japanese culture, did not bother them.

Interestingly, opinions on optimization are divided: some, like media representatives, consider it successful, while others complain about its shortcomings. Earlier, critics also praised the game, highlighting its spectacular battles and technical execution.

However, it's worth keeping in mind both the potential use of bots to inflate positive ratings and the influx of other players over the weekend, who may not be as favorable toward the game.
