The Slow Death of Assassin's Creed

Controversy! People are saying lots of things about Assassin's Creed Shadows, and none of them are nice.
"Woke trash, "an absolute joke," "a DEI disaster," "more Ubislop," "Sweet Baby Inc detected." Well, I don't know about all that, but it's definitely been controversial. I'll explain why I'm not optimistic about it, talk about everything wrong with it.

I honestly don't think Shadows looks that bad. Honestly haven't had a thing against the more recent AC games, it's just fan expectation culture that just ruins it a little

I wish they would bring back Online like the old AC games. That made the game more fun

I’d have to disagree with saying the series is dying. When they released origins they dove deeper into the history of the associated time frame, at least in my opinion. They carried this into Odyssey, Valhalla, and Mirage. I do believe the watering down of stealth has changed the pace of play drastically, and makes the game more story driven. The trade off is that you get pretty historically accurate worlds that you can freely travel and explore. I do understand how that can have a negative impact as well. Personally, not too concerned with the Viking era, it’s cool, but eh. As a result I really didn’t enjoy the game. Whereas Ancient Greece, Egypt, and the Abbasid period all are fascinating time frames to me, and so I enjoyed those games more.

Sorry for long winded response. Clearly an AC nerd here 😂

I appreciate your take. This was just my own experience with the series, and I obviously don't speak for everyone. Thanks for sharing your perspective.

I understand the review, because of this modern times... "Go woke, go broke". But, let's wait...
