Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Hey gamers! If you're looking for the stealth game of the year, stop everything and take a closer look at Assassin’s Creed Shadows. We're clearly facing a complete overhaul of the series' stealth mechanics, and the result is simply stunning. The switching between the two protagonists, Naoe the shinobi and Yasuke the samurai, is a brilliant idea. You can choose the complete approach: shadow and steel. Either you evade guards using parkour and a new grappling hook, or you confront them with katana combat of rare intensity. The tactical freedom is the true strength of this video game.

And what a world to indulge in these activities! Feudal Japan has never been so alive and beautiful. We're talking about an open world of insane richness, where dynamic seasons and weather actually influence how you play. An impregnable fortress in summer could become vulnerable once its moats freeze in winter. It's technically sublime, with ray-tracing lighting that brings the smallest details to life, from rain-glistening roofs to swirling cherry blossom petals. The immersion is total, especially with the Japanese voice acting.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is undoubtedly the most technically accomplished title in the franchise. Powered by the Anvil engine, it marks a true generational leap.

• Two unique heroes: Play as Naoe, the stealthy shinobi, or Yasuke, the powerful samurai.
• Evolved stealth: Use light, sound, and shadows to never be seen.
• Parkour and grappling hook: Infiltrate environments with unprecedented agility.
• Dynamic open world: A beautiful feudal Japan where seasons change the game.
• Cutting-edge technology: Benefit from ray-tracing effects and virtualized geometry.

In short, whether you're a series veteran or a newcomer, this action-adventure game is an unmissable experience. The community is already won over, and after playing it, we perfectly understand why.
