Critic Reviews for Assassin Creed: Shadows - Claws of Awaji Expansion

The Claws of Awaji doesn't add anything exciting to Assassin's Creed Shadows, but it's still fun to explore a new region and stab people.

The effort put into giving personality to the main duels and providing ideas is noticeable, even if it feels like more of the same in between. It's definitely worth your time if you got it for free. If you have to pay 25 euros more... maybe it's better to wait for a sale.

The Claws of Awaji expansion offers plenty of new content for Assassin’s Creed Shadows and satisfyingly wraps up the cliffhanger in Naoe’s story that was hinted at the end of the base game. The expansion’s pacing with Yasuke is better, too, but it’s a shame that he didn’t get a new weapon while Naoe did. Still, Claws of Awaji is a worthy send off to two of the best Assassin’s Creed characters in recent memory.

Claws of Awaji is more of the base AC Shadows game. A beautiful world whose open storytelling style does far more to hurt than help, while the new weapon and one of the boss fights are a nice positive, the rest spends too much time being bland or getting in it's own way.

Assassin's Creed Shadow: Claws of Awaji feels like an excellent refinement of the base game with a small but dense new island, more focused story, and most of the fat from the base game trimmed out.

Ubisoft has brought the first, more realistic and dramatic DLC to the story of Nao and Yasuke in Claws of Awaji. You get a new small island with a short side story, a few nice missions and a new weapon. It's just a very basic content offer for the expansion and the whole thing sounds so much poorer in terms of story.

he Claws of Awaji is a DLC that reflects both the strengths and weaknesses of Assassin's Creed Shadows: some narrative elements are interesting, but the story ends without much excitement, nor does it sufficiently delve into the renewed conflict between Assassins and Templars.
