Summary

He finds Assassin’s Creed Shadows bland and uninspiring compared with Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima, despite liking Japanese games. The dual-protagonist design splits stealth and samurai combat; he finds combat repetitive, automated, easy on maximum difficulty, and tactically shallow. Unskippable cutscenes, weak AI, forgettable writing, and merely adequate graphics make the £60 game feel worth £25; he rates it 6.2/10.

Insight

His verdict continues frustration with repetitive design and poor value, despite acceptable technical performance.
