The article reflects on how games featuring non-white, non-male protagonists often face backlash. Despite the controversies, the author, an avid player of the series, praises "Shadows" as a strong entry in the franchise, recognizing its beautiful design and engaging gameplay, while acknowledging the mixed reactions it has received from various communities.
The latest whipping post for the gamer universe has been "Assassin's Creed Shadows," a game that became a target of review bombing before it was even released.
