Assassin's Creed Shadows: AC Japan

[Gotmadskillzson]

65 1/12 hours and the main storyline is complete. One hell of a ride. The ending I will give a 9 out of 10. The game itself, overall, all things considered, a 10 out of 10. The seasons were excellent. The combat was good. Boss fights were good and didn't feel cheesy. Selection of weapons and armor styles were good. Skill trees were nicely laid out and pretty easy to understand what path led to what. Back story on both the characters were excellent. Yasuke back story, good lord. You don't get to do his to near the end of the game.

Now I have plenty of side quests to do, but yeah this is currently my Game of The Year.

Also definitely the best Assassins Creed in the entire series, yes even better than Black Flag. Unlike other games in the series, this game slow rolls out the plot. You think you have it figured out and who is who and than a few hours later, you find out you were wrong. For example. Spoiler I just now came across my first templar and he is a level 35 and I was 55 hours in when I finally came across one. You come across dozens of different kind of enemies but they aren't templars, they are just rival clans, rogue ronin and rogue shinobi. Also love the fact there are a wide variety of weapons Yasuke and Naoe can use. They really do have something for every play style you can imagine.

I am about 45 hours in and at level 37. I play story mode with the canon option as I just want to see the story Ubisoft crafted. I just discovered that I lost a few potential allies by not being able to pick dialog options. I'd recommend people not play with the canon option on if they want every potential ally in their hideout.

It's crazy how this far in the game now and I am just now getting to the Assassin/Templar plot line. I was under the impression that Yasuke was just brute option and not really a factor in the main story but things really pick up about level 37.

Just seen that it cannot be turned off or on once you have started the game, I can't remember which option I selected, and I sure as hell ain't starting over...lol

Wish I had known that going in . No way am I restarting, either.

If it’s anything like mine, the only option I have is selecting Noae or Yasuke for a mission. Everything else the game decides. A little disclaimer when choosing the canon option would have been nice. At least then we’d know what was up.

Unless I’m missing something this game does a piss poor job of laying out the objectives. I had a main story mission but since I tracked a side quest and started raiding a couple castles I forgot about it. I am trying to unlock Yasuke and I’m trying to find the mission for him. Searching the actual map is tedious. If I untracked a mission there should be a mission list to check somewhere. If I’m blind please point me in the right direction.

You go to the objective screen and boom, an entire page of objectives will appear. You need to check it often because talking to people can open up an entire circle of objectives just for that 1 person.

Yeah I too was surprised how late in the game that you finally get to their plotline. But yeah Yasuke is essential to the storyline, even though half the game you really don't play as him and his personal quests happen later on in the game as well.
