Und die Reviews sind da – kurzum liegt das Spiel; da scheint man sich keine Sorgen machen zu müssen; auf gleicher Spur wie Odyssey und Valhalla. Wie immer teile ich diese Information nur, um den Pressespiegel etwas zu beleuchten – ihr kennt euren Geschmack am Besten und solltet da auf eure persönlichen Erwartungen hören!
Auf Metacritic liegt es jedenfalls bei 82 Punkten (70 Kritiken) und bei OpenCritic gibt es 81 Punkte (121 Kritiken).
Hier ein paar Ausschnitte:
- VG247 (5/5)
ZitatThere are problems with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, for sure. But it’s so fun to play, it’s telling a gripping story, and there is so much sense of progress and reward for every little thing you do that it actually feels like an open world game that’s taking its cues from a modern roguelike, or something. Every action has meaning, and the breadcrumbs that tempt you to clean up all the icons on the map are moreish. This may be one of the biggest Assassin’s Creed games ever made, but it also feels like the most well put-together.
- TechRadar (4,5/5)
ZitatAssassin’s Creed Shadows is a massive success and a winning combination of stealth and steel. It’s a fantastic entry in the open-world RPG line of games in the stealth series and the most refined version of that style yet, with satisfying and rewarding exploration, brilliant combat, and a dual protagonist system that really works. Even a few minor quibbles can’t hold it back.
- WellPlayed (8,5/10)
ZitatUbisoft's big, bold swing with Assassin's Creed Shadows mostly connects, proving that it was right to hold off on the Hail Mary Feudal Japan setting until it had honed the series’ RPG trappings. Shadows’ attempts at new ideas don't all land the same, but it excels in the areas that matter most in these games with a gorgeous, rich and well-researched world to explore, compelling stealth gameplay and a story full of intrigue and fresh takes on historical figures.
- Push Square (8/10)
ZitatWhile Assassin's Creed Shadows is unlikely to win over those who struggled to push through Odyssey or Valhalla, this is still one of the strongest overall entries in the series — and arguably the best of the open world RPG bunch. The storytelling is largely fantastic, the main characters are deeply likeable, and the open world itself is a thing of beauty.
PlayStation Lifestyle (7/10)[/list]
ZitatThe bottom line is that Assassin's Creed Shadows is not a bad game, but unfortunately it is not really outstanding either. I had more fun with Naoe and Yaskue in feudal Japan than I had with Eivor in England back then. But it doesn't come close to Kassandra's adventure in Greece, for example. The design weaknesses mentioned are too obvious for that. Here, the game unfortunately wastes a lot of potential. And yet I will keep my adventure in Shadows in good memory.
Ich glaube, in diesem Fall ist es wirklich wichtig, dass man sich Videos von Quellen anschaut, denen man vertraut und schaut, ob die Schwäche, die an vorherigen Titeln gestört haben diesmal ausgebessert werden.
Oder man wartet halt auf einen Sale o. ä.
