Assassin's Creed Shadows Review

Don’t miss our Assassin's Creed Shadows review, featuring lots of new Assassin's Creed Shadows gameplay. Our AC Shadows review is written by Tom Phillips and edited by Alix Attenborough.

Find out what we think of the new Assassin’s Creed game, set in feudal Japan where you play as a shinobi assassin called Naoe and a legendary samurai called Yasuke.

In general, AC Shadows is more standalone than perhaps any other game in the franchise to date, its focus fully on Japan, and free of any continuing characters or modern day storylines. That said, there's definitely space left for the future - within Shadows itself through more stories, or perhaps in another game entirely.
