Assassin's Creed Shadows reintroduces classic stealth gameplay

The latest game in the Assassin's Creed series, titled Shadows, introduces a new setting that addresses a major concern for longtime fans. Many players felt that recent Assassin's Creed games moved too far away from the stealth elements that defined the series. With Shadows, players can finally enjoy a more traditional assassin experience. In previous titles, starting from Origins, the gameplay shifted towards being more like an RPG. This transformation made stealth less effective, as players needed to grind for levels and improve their builds to execute successful assassinations. Many missed the days when stealth was the primary option for gameplay. Shadows brings a solution with the "Guaranteed Assassination" setting. This feature allows players to successfully carry out stealth kills without the worry of health bars or grinding for levels. It can be activated from a menu under gameplay settings and does not interfere with other difficulty adjustments. Using this setting, players can experience the thrill of sneaking through enemies and taking them down in one hit. A player shared their experience of tackling a challenging castle on Expert difficulty, only to find that they could clear out guards much earlier in the game thanks to this feature. Overall, the Guaranteed Assassination setting significantly enhances the stealth gameplay. Players can now focus on strategy and timing rather than spending excessive time leveling up. Shadows offers a refreshing return to the core elements that made the Assassin's Creed series beloved.
