Assassin’s Creed Shadows forgets to make learning history fun

While it’s not quite as good as Ubisoft's roast of the world’s most pathetic man, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is still a fun time. Clearing out castles as a neck-slitting shinobi is bloody brilliant now that this series, just 300 games in, has finally figured out how to let you smoothly climb down a building. What a nice change from throwing you in a random direction and alerting every guard within fifty miles.

Shadows has also beautifully recreated 16th century Japan at an astonishing level of detail.
