Assassin's Creed Shadows (games)

How's it?

Good fun. The story is good, you buy into the characters Has the same issues as the other games. You have to pointlessly walk around a lot (or ghode or whatever) which gets boring at times. Rest of it is actually pretty good.

alllrightt, i was not expecting it to be any good judging by all the crap it got when it was first announced.

Yea games need to cut the bloat. One of the main reasons why I liked cyberpunk so much was cos it didn’t have random walking around with NOTHING. To do with the environment. Every time you went anywhere there was a quest that would pop up. This is the biggest flaw with all other “open world” they are too open. Don’t have time in life to explore literally barren lands that have copy pasted terrain and nothing interesting to do.

When you say "all other open world" games, could you point out some?

Apologies missed notifications. Witcher 3 - side missions were really badly written. Most recent was starfield. Don’t get me started on loading times there. Cyberpunk was best of both things - fun combat and tight world where you could walk around and not get bored cos every corner had a decent mission. Far cry 6 was another ‘open world’ game. With copy pasted stuff. Almost bought it but the Ubisoft one month thingy saved me. I am quite liking clair obscure but it crashes too much for my liking. Will see if that gets better.

I agree with the Witcher part; I just wanted to get to the main plot. Haven't tried Cyberpunk yet. Have you played Elden Ring? 👀
