But those things are never an issue in any of their games, it's always the braindead gameplay + AI, and shit characters

I skipped to one part of a video above, broad daylight, you are a few feet above NPCs and they don't see you killing their friends. Closed. Same old shit.

That's not enough anymore, friend.

The games doesn't use UE5, but the state of the industry is still in the shite.

However...

The gameplay may be average / mediocre, their characters annoying and the story weak, but the worlds Ubi creates CAN be truly fantastic, indeed:

Review are probably gonna be like DA Failguard, gamejournos sucking up to ubishit (ofc) while utubers will likely be much more critical.

Seems the game isn't even that bad.
But people are sick of the ubi formula open world type of game, this will flop anyway.

So not only does it have the D but also monitors your RAM so it can detect if you use trainers to bypass their deliberately design tedious grind to sell "timesavers"?? If your game is fun why would I need to save my time playing it??

Culture war bs aside this is a shit product.

The guy's accent is really jarring, but I suggest you take a look at the part 0:45 -1:30.

Seems like Expert difficulty is the way to go. Very Happy

https://www.resetera.com/threads/all-games-with-ps5-pro-enhancements.1026072/page-231
https://www.gamersyde.com/news_notre_avis_sur_assassin_s_creed_shadows-23916_fr.html

Visually it is quite good, a nice update from Valhalla and the earlier trio plus the smaller "Mirage" game.

No idea how it plays though, exploration is fun and all but the gameplay has to exist as well, its not just a tourist simulation much as that mode has been expanded on throughout the series.
Been replaying the series alongside some old classics such as the Thief series, gotten through Unity and heading into Syndicate next. Might pick this up eventually but pricing and everything these days, likely only after a hefty discount. Although the recent Ubisoft releases have all benefitted from a 3 - 5 month wait and what patches have done to the games in that time, unfortunately nothing new and not just a Ubisoft thing.

Plenty on the backlog here though, plenty of other games I also haven't picked up yet, it's not all just world politics and real life worries such as the rampant price increases and living cost problems, I still game, a bit. Very Happy


EDIT: Or more directly you have visuals that are otherwise quite close to Origins, Odyssey or Valhalla but with ray tracing enhancements.

These being PS5 (Pro) images only carry part of those enhancements however, still the ambient occlusion and global illumination effects are quite effective in improving depth and details.
We'll see how it actually looks when the PC version unlocks and there's means of seeing RTX enhancements and what the higher quality plus some filtering can do here.

But that's all visuals again and nothing on the actual gameplay, writing, story and whatever else is going on here.
Tons of stuff from the historical period to draw on, or make a caricature out of like with Unity or Origins.
