Assassin’s Creed Shadows sets a new bar for stealth in the series. Fans of the RPG will enjoy the new elements which we see here. This action adventure title takes what was great about past games and runs with it.
A Deeper Stealth Experience
In Assassin’s Creed Shadows we see a very quiet and discrete system which is very rewarding for players. Careful thought must go into each action. What you put in terms of strategy is what you get out.
Enhanced Enemy AI
Enemies react in a much more realistic way to what you do. They will search out long and they also check hiding spots. This makes stealth a greater challenge but also very rewarding.
Better Tools for Silent Takedowns
New equipment for the players which allows them to stay hidden. Smoke bombs which provide immediate cover. Throwing knives for silent long range attacks.
RPG Elements That Matter
RPG elements are at the core of the stealth experience. As you level up your skills you become a shadow among the shadows. Which perks you choose to take out of the pool changes your approach to each mission.
Skill Trees Focused on Playstyles
Three main branches for different types of players. In The Ghost we have pure stealth. In The Predator we have aggression at its core. And The Trickster which is all about creative solutions.
Gear That Changes Gameplay
Armor sets include special stealth features. Light materials which you can use to move silently also are available. Some cloaks which reduce how far enemies will detect you also are present.
Action With Purpose
In Assassin's Creed Shadows action is present in every moment. We have a risk averse approach to combat which in turn promotes the use of stealth. In each sword fight there is that chance of alerting nearby guards.
Parkour That Helps Escape
The better designed parkour system allows for quick dissapearance. Vanish over rooftops in a flash or through the bustle of the city. The gaming style movement is very smooth and responsive.
Multiplayer-Like Tension
Solo play is now at the level of multiplayer. Enemy patrols have begun to work together to find you out. The simulation of intelligent opponents has raised the stakes.
For Casual and Hardcore Fans
The game is for everyone. We have something for casual players which is the story. Also for the hardcore fans we have the strategy element which is required for perfect stealth runs.
Adjustable Difficulty
Three options for you to choose which challenge you prefer. In easy mode we provide more hiding spots. In hard mode we remove some helpful markers.
Clear Mission Feedback
The game gives you that feedback which in turn makes you aware of your mistakes. This in the long run helps players in learning and improving. Also what we may term as failure is in fact a lesson in disguise.
World Design That Encourages Stealth
In which case of the environments creativity is encouraged. In dark alleys you have cover. At busy markets you blend in with the crowd.
Light and Shadow Matter
In the dark areas you are hidden. Staying in the shadows decreases your chance of being found. Also you can put out torches to increase the darkness.
More Interactive Elements
Many things which aid in stealth. We hide in hay carts as in older games. Also we have at our disposal a variety of options which include closets and underground passages.
