Assassin’s Creed Shadows introduces significant changes to the franchise, presenting a challenge to grasp them all without firsthand experience. Fortunately, after a hands-on session with the controller and a captivating preview event hosted by Ubisoft Quebec, I’m equipped with in-depth insights not only about the gameplay but also the evolving features of the game.
Ubisoft has been proactive in sharing details about Assassin’s Creed Shadows, but my time engaged with the game revealed deeper mechanics that merit attention.My experience clarified the ongoing development needs, a topic that became increasingly relevant following the game’s initial delay and subsequent postponements.
10 Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Hideout Is Fairly Involved
More Than A Nominal Side Mode
Previously, I had overlooked the hideout system in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which offers a customizable base for strategic advantages. While character customization can enhance engagement, many AAA titles incorporate these features without providing sufficient depth, and few have captivated me as consistently as the Yakuza and Like a Dragon series.
After spending an hour exploring the hideout mechanics, I find it to be not essential but enjoyable in small doses. Shadows boasts exquisite assets, allowing players to create beautiful environments complete with charming baby tanuki to interact with.I’m particularly intrigued by the potential for character interactions during downtime, as I appreciate nuanced side dialogues that enrich narratives.
Assassin’s Creed Infinity’s Final Form
While my understanding of Assassin’s Creed Infinity was limited, seeing it in action provided clarity. It appears to involve enhanced elements from Ubisoft Connect, including a battle pass-style reward system and the chance to engage in Animus missions. Enveloped in a new Abstergo storyline, this layer of interaction will likely resonate differently with various players.
8 Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Weather Is Great
Real Influence On The Game World
Historically, weather systems in gaming have often been a source of skepticism for me. Many titles boast about intricate weather mechanics that seldom deliver on their promise. However, Assassin’s Creed Shadows showcases innovative weather technology, referred to as Atmos (distinct from Dolby’s technology).The gameplay presented allowed for light and shadow mechanics that showcased how profoundly weather influences the game world—from the intricate movements of plants in the breeze to the dramatic aesthetic transition from winter to spring.
7 Yasuke’s Sword Is Bigger Than I Expected
I Wish I Got To Keep It
During the Assassin’s Creed Shadows preview event, which took place in Quebec, I had limited opportunity to explore the game world beyond what the demos offered. Nevertheless, replicas of Yasuke’s armor and weaponry were present, allowing attendees to appreciate their design up close.
True to Assassin’s Creed’s tradition of elevating weapon scales, Yasuke’s main sword is notably larger than typical Japanese swords. This size difference becomes evident, especially for someone who isn’t Yasuke’s stature. Fortunately, the replica was lightweight enough for players to wield comfortably, making it plausible for Naoe to utilize it effectively.
