Baldur's Gate 3 publisher praises Assassin's Creed Shadows combat

Assassin's Creed Shadows is receiving a lot of positive attention ahead of its first weekend release. The game is praised for its combat system, which is said to be the best in years. Michael Douse, the publishing director for Baldur's Gate 3, shared his thoughts on social media, highlighting how tight and deliberate the combat feels. Many gamers feel that previous entries in the series, like Origins and Valhalla, had combat that felt too much like multiplayer online games. Douse agreed with this observation. The excitement around Assassin's Creed Shadows also reflects in its reviews, with some describing it as a strong contender alongside beloved titles like Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. The game's two new characters, Yasuke and Naoe, also received praise, although the story has not fully utilized their potential. Early player engagement looks promising. Assassin's Creed Shadows has already surpassed Valhalla in concurrent players on Steam. For those looking to maximize their experience, tips on the best skills for Yasuke and Naoe are available. This includes finding Knowledge Points scattered throughout the game's large map. An actor from the game expressed his belief that AI will not replace human creativity, but rather inspire people to be more creative.
