Assassin’s Creed Shadows is shaping up to be one of the best games in the series—but of course, some people will be furious about it. Why? Not because of bad gameplay, weak storytelling, or lackluster mechanics… but because they can’t handle the fact that Yasuke, a real historical figure, exists in the game. 🤡The reality? Their takes don’t hold up. The stealth, combat, and world-building all look phenomenal, and the dual protagonist system with Yasuke and Naoe makes this one of the most exciting Assassin’s Creed entries in years. The haters will be mad, but we’re here to enjoy a great game.🔥 Let’s break down why AC Shadows is shaping up to be a massive W and why it’s time to leave the nonsense behind.👊 Drop a like, subscribe, and let’s talk about why this game is actually GOOD.
