Yep, I’ve also been spending hours lost in the world of #AssassinsCreedShadows on my PS5. I’m making very slow progress in the story but like others, I do not care. The world is so very beautiful, and the parkour-ability is so much more versatile than previous games, that I just walk around and enjoy the scenery. I barely even use my horse—I just walk around everywhere; I don’t even run.

I especially love the wind effects and how it blows objects around. It’s a hard effect to achieve, and it looks great.

I also appreciate the sound design in this game. In many places, there is nothing but natural environmental sounds to be heard. Music is introduced only to heighten story points and combat, and recedes into nothingness again once finished. Very nice.

Things I don’t like: frame rates aren’t great. Even at lowered resolution, dropped frames continue to occur. Also, the facial mocap seems quite bad, especially for a new AAA game.

But the game is overwhelmingly positive to me. Recommended!

I'm 25 hours into #AssassinsCreedShadows now. So far, I think it's my favourite Assassin's Creed game.

I must be getting old, I keep forgetting the controls, let me look them up…

well no wonder #assassinscreedshadows

Bon, c'est effectivement bien verbeux, ce début de #AssassinsCreedShadows
Quand est-ce qu'on joue ?
