🚨 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻'𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄𝘀 - 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 Assassin's Creed Shadows is the beginning of the third phase of the series. After more than 80 hours of playtime, I can say that it's superior to the second phase in almost every way. However, fans of the modern story and the mythological elements in previous games might be disappointed.

Most of the issues I have with it can be fixed through future updates. If you were a fan of the second phase games, you will undoubtedly enjoy it. If you didn't have any interest in them, Shadows might change your mind. SCORE: 9/10
