Assassin's Creed Shadows finally showed me the appeal of Ubisoft's tentpole franchise
Briefly

'Assassin's Creed Shadows' marks a landmark entry in the franchise by relocating its action to Japan, a long-awaited setting that aligns perfectly with the series' themes of stealth and assassination. The dual protagonist system returns, featuring Naoe, a young woman seeking revenge, and Yasuke, a former enslaved man turned samurai. While the game employs familiar gameplay mechanics from 'Assassin's Creed Mirage,' its success will hinge on how well the new storylines and character interactions are developed in this vibrant historical context. Ubisoft needs a hit, and 'Shadows' could be that opportunity.
Assassin's Creed Shadows brings the franchise to Japan, introducing a dual protagonist system while retaining gameplay mechanics from its predecessor, Assassin's Creed Mirage.
Ubisoft is poised to improve its reputation with Assassin's Creed Shadows, a game that showcases familiar mechanics but adds a much-anticipated setting and character depth.
