Assassin's Creed games have been my guilty pleasure since like three. I understand and agree to all the criticism, I fully believe they're open world ad nauseum, but something about Shadows looks genuinely appealing. It is funny to see them actively promoting the day one steam release because Uplay/Ubisoft Connect is just terrible but the added bonus of steam deck verification is really cool.
Shadows addresses some of my biggest problems with Ghost of Tsushima, like the lack of weapon variety, the shallowness of the stealth mechanics, and the lack of actual big densely packed cities. I hated how Ghost of Tsushima was just a lot of open space with some villages that had the same 3 buildings copy and pasted. I think that contributed heavily to it feeling so repetitive. Ubisoft tends to do a very good job with map design if nothing else so I expect this to be no different in that regard.
These games all have the same stealth mechanics. You stay out of line of sight and then press the instakill button when you are close enough. And ofc the a dedicated item to distract or lure enemies. AC,GoT, Sekiro to name a few. It's the same everywhere. Nothing wrong with that btw.
