Assassin's Creed Shadows is the latest installment in Ubisoft's long-running flagship series, offering a mix of familiar and fresh elements. The studio has addressed some of the issues from Valhalla, and introduced new ideas while expanding on what worked well in past games like Odyssey and Origins. Players who spent countless hours in Valhalla or Odyssey will feel right at home in Assassin's Creed Shadows, but they'll likely also notice several much-needed improvements.
