Out of Bounds Portugal Assassin's Creed Shadows Review

Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t a disaster, but it’s far from the return to glory fans were hoping for. Its clunky combat, stiff animations, and clear departure from the series’ roots make it feel uneven and confused about what it wants to be. Yet, there’s no denying the impressive scale, high production values, and a few fresh mechanics that show promise. It’s worth a look, on sale, at least, as long as you’re not a hardcore Assassin’s Creed purist expecting a true comeback.
