ACG's impressions on Shadows.

​

• Combat works for Yasuke.
• Stealth is good and you can now go prone. Animations don't reset when grabbing loot, so that's a good thing.
• You can use grappling hook for explorations and assassinating as Naoe.
• Parkour works, is different, but works better. Yasuke has some parkour, but not to the extent of Naoe.
• Nao is about speed and ability and Yasuke is more of a walking tank.
• There are dodge and attack cancels you can pull off as Yasuke.
• Game looks great with only minor graphical glitches.
• Voice acting seems a little rough in English. There is a full Japanese dub for those interested.
• ACG does like the story.
• Pleasantly surprised, and is so much better than Valhalla by a huge amount. Stealth and parkour has been improved.
• Story feels a bit lacking to him.

I haven't been able to watch/listen to any vids yet but just seeing youtube titles I'm seeing negative impressions from InsiderGames and SkillUp.

Further thoughts in the hot takes thread....

Skill Up is also not having fun with the game. I don't think it's looking great, but I didn't expect it too with the delays and backlash tbh.

Easy Allies is loving Shadows, and I am not shocked.

Fascinating how all three reviews posted so far are quite different.

Personally, feelings have not changed. Combat as either of them looks pretty ass, and stealth can only be done by Naoe.

But just because it's Japan, I think I'd consider playing this a few years from now. Whereas the last three have no real appeal at all.

The franchise has been around so long that everyone has a very strong opinion about what the game should be, and their reaction is in relation to that.
