Assassin’s Creed Shadowsis a real step forward for the franchise, but it doesn’t fix every problem. Having two protagonists with unique and contrasting skills and abilities is one of the biggest advances in merging the classic Assassin’s Creed characteristics into the open-world RPG genre, letting players choose if they want to focus on the traditional Assassin’s Creed stealth mechanics with Naoe or charge in with Yasuke’s satisfying combos that were popular in previous games like Valhalla.
