Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows fans were \u201cquietly optimistic\u201d following the Xbox Games Showcase, which gave us a sneak peek into the game\u2019s world. However, the Ubisoft Forward gameplay trailer has the community even more hyped. During the presentation, the devs delved deeper into the game\u2019s two protagonists, Yasuke and Naoe \u2013 showcasing the weighty combat system and deadly stealth mechanics. We even got a glimpse at how certain weapons like the Kanabo and Kusarigama function. While Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows\u2019 November 15 release may be a while away, players already believe the game is a \u201chuge improvement\u201d over Valhalla &#038; Odyssey. \u201cNot gonna lie looks great and an improvement on Valhalla,\u201d wrote one player on the official Assassin\u2019s Creed Reddit. \u201cFacial animations in dialogue scenes also seem to be an improvement over Odyssey and Valhalla. Also, I\u2019m not too worried about the voice acting for now since most of the dialogue in this AC gameplay walkthrough isn\u2019t that good.\u201d As a \u2018work in progress\u2019, the combat looks leagues better than Origins, Syndicate, Valhalla, and even Mirage,\u201d another comment agreed. \u201cI know people liked Origins but even that went a little floaty. I just could never enjoy how \u2018plasticky\u2019 it felt there.\u201d \u201cI watched the entire gameplay and it really looks like a big improvement. Movement, combat, stealth. Everything looks dope as f*ck. They really cooked with this one!\u201d One area many fans were keen to highlight was just how good the game\u2019s animations looked compared to previous games in the series. This was especially true when it came to Naoe\u2019s stealthy takedowns and parkour sections. One player explained: \u201cNaoe seems to have smooth animations, I like that she blends with the darkness and the crawling looks interesting, same for the grappling hook, glad it\u2019s not just an instant climb\/traverse and that you can do air assassinations while swinging, overall the stealth was very interesting.\u201d Fans even noted just how weighty Yasuke\u2019s combat felt, particularly when using the Kanabo, a two-handed club that can crush armored samurai. \u201cI absolutely love how the armor gets broken in real-time during the combat,\u201d replied one commenter. \u201cOverall it is still a huge improvement over the previous games. the stealth however looks very engaging and well done. The game world is very beautiful as well.\u201d If you\u2019re still itching for more Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows information, then check out our interview, where we got to speak with the game\u2019s director about the game\u2019s dual protagonists, setting, and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows fans call it a \u201chuge improvement\u201d over Valhalla &#038; Odyssey UbisoftAssassin\u2019s Creed players believe Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows\u2019 gameplay is a \u201chuge improvement\u201d over Valhalla &#038; Odyssey.
