The game at least looks and plays well enough for what Ubisoft needs it to be, with the company skirting the line between playing things extremely safe and trying something different.

It's the first game in the series that directly feeds into the Animus Hub project (formerly known as Infinity) Before you swan dive into the game, you'll be able to access various Assassin 's Creed games ( Shadows and the previous four mainline entries) from the memory section.

The structure of Assassin 's Creed Shadows will lend itself to multiple playthroughs for those who really dig it.

The eagle vision ability now enables Naoe to locate and tag enemies through walls.

Both characters can lie prone as well, which offers up more opportunities for hiding and sneaking.

The company pulled back on the map bloat a bit in Mirage , so it may have taken some positive lessons from that approach.
