3 ways Assassin's Creed Shadows makes me hopeful about the future of the franchise, and 2 ways it concerns me
I'm hopeful, but guarded about the Assassin's Creed franchise after playing Assassin's Creed Shadows.
It’s wild to say this, but Assassin’s Creed Shadows might just be the most hopeful I’ve felt about the series in almost a decade. After so many bloated diet-RPGs that felt more like chores than adventures, Shadows somehow managed to stick the landing. It’s not perfect — far from it — but in some ways, that’s exactly why it hit me harder. It’s a game that finally feels like it's trying again.
