Assassin’s Creed titles are cozy games for me. There’s no more relaxing place to go after a difficult day: historical outdoor museum tours, plus dopamine dispensers, plus slow-paced assassination simulators. The developers of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows seem to understand this need to escape better than ever before. I’m “only” 40 hours into Shadows (I reckon I’m only about 30 percent through the game), but I already consider it one of the best entries in the franchise’s long history. I’ve apprec

Netflix doesn’t have an official date for the last season of Stranger Things, but it’s got something to tide over fans in the upcoming play, First Shadow. The prequel just began its preview run this weekend ahead of its full launch in April, and that means it’s time to start hyping it up. Netflix has provided two new screenshots for the Broadway production, which show Louis McCartney as Henry Creel—aka One, aka Vecna—using his powers and making contact with the Mind Flayer. In addition to that,

I realized quite late in Assassin’s Creed Shadows that being this version of a shinobi is hard — but it was precisely the precision the game demanded that made it all the more rewarding. With Shadows, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has achieved both its most impressive stealth and assassination mechanics. At its best, Shadows evokes games like Arkane’s Dishonored series, mixing emergent action with an artful blend of skills and scenarios. While not nearly at the level of sophistication as those

While even the best screens had some image quality issues, it was about how they each balanced these with the more important things like contrast.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be shaping up to be the hit Ubisoft needed. On social media , the Assassin’s Creed team announced that the game, which was released on Thursday, has so far drawn in two million players. Assassin’s Creed Shadows was originally slated to come out last fall, but was delayed twice as developers worked to further polish the game and try to ensure everything would be running smoothly on day one. So far, (mostly) so good, it seems. Engadget’s Kris Holt noted in his review

Even before it hit comic shelves this week, people went crazy for a leaked image of Batman and Shadow’s first encounter in the pages of DC x Sonic #1. For good reason: it’s wonderful in the best way a crossover can be, utterly absurd and yet at the same time completely sincere in its conviction. But the best part of their brief dynamic in the issue is what comes after. The overall premise of DC x Sonic #1, by Ian Flynn, Adam Bryce Thomas, Matt Herms, and Becca Carey, is par for the crossover co

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is out today, but if you happen to be a PS5 owner, you may wondering why your game looks so different than what you see from those on PlayStation 5 Pro. Digital Foundry found playing the game on “Performance” settings for regular PS5 results in what may be the worst way to experience Ubisoft’s beautiful but awkward stealth action title. If you’re one of those who ponied up $700 for a PlayStation 5 Pro, then you can get both performance and pretty graphics. For PS5 conso

It's unlikely that the fate of a company as large as Ubisoft will hinge on the success of one tentpole single-player game. But the company cannot afford another major error anytime soon after the likes of Star Wars: Outlaws and XDefiant failed to set the world alight. Ubisoft desperately needs a big hit (and for the Rainbow Six Siege X overhaul to go well). The good news for the company is that Assassin's Creed Shadows is poised to deliver on that. On the surface, it's exactly what you'd expect

I’m still waiting for the pure promise of the first Assassin’s Creed from back in 2007. I still imagine the game series’ three pillars—stealth, parkour, and combat—mixed into a beautiful, brutal choreography, blended with historical drama. In Assassin’s Creed Shadows, two of those pillars, stealth and parkour, are inherently broken. The structure cannot hold. I’m still waiting for the one real Assassin’s Creed game I can love for its core tenets. Pros One of the most beautifully-crafted worlds

Assassin's Creed Shadows is shaping up to be one of the most interesting and exciting installments this franchise has seen since Origins revitalized it in 2017. We previewed the game last year at Gamescom and finally went hands-on with it a couple of months ago. After numerous delays, I was happy to finally play the full build and can say it was definitely worth the wait. I've spent over a dozen hours in Shadows at this point, across both the PC (via Nvidia's GeForce Now streaming platform) and

One thing Shadowveil: Legend of the Five Rings does well is invoke terror. Not just the terror of an overwhelming mass of dark energy encroaching on your fortress, which is what the story suggests. Moreso, the terror of hoping your little computer-controlled fighters will do the smart thing, then being forced to watch, helpless, as they are consumed by algorithmic choices, bad luck, your strategies, or some combination of all three.

Game studio Monolith, part of Warner Bros. Games until yesterday's multi-studio shutdown, had a notable track record across more than 30 years, having made Blood, No One Lives Forever, Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, F.E.A.R., and, most recently, the Lord of the Rings series, Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. Those games, derived from J.R.R. Tolkien's fiction, had a "Nemesis System," in which the enemies that beat the player or survive a battle with them can advance in level, develop distinct s

Warner Bros Discovery recently shut down a trio of game studios, including the well-regarded Monolith Productions. This has put one of the coolest game mechanics of the 2010s in limbo. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's excellent Nemesis system is locked behind a patent owned by Warner Bros all the way until 2036, according to reporting by Eurogamer. The Nemesis system was featured in both 2014’s Shadow of Mordor and the follow-up Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Simply put, it’s a gameplay mechanic
