Preview: Assassin’s Creed Shadows Is the Golden Ticket Ubisoft Needs – Push Square

Push Square: “How that story and more freeing exploration translates across the whole campaign won’t be able to be judged until we have the final game in two months time, but four hours with an early part of the narrative was enough to demonstrate how Assassin’s Creed Shadows is prioritising curiosity and freedom over guidance and tired map markers. It’s not bigger — a good thing for many — and it does appear better than what’s come before it. With Assassin’s Creed Odyssey under the belt of Shadows’ lead developer, that’s high praise. It could well be the peak of Ubisoft’s RPG take on the long-lasting franchise so far.”
