The number of online users of "Assassin's Creed Shadow" is close to the peak of the Assassin series! Received particularly well-received

　　Ubisoft's stealth action classic "Assassin's Creed" series' latest work, "Assassin's Creed Shadows", was released globally on the 20th after overcoming various controversies. In addition to home consoles, the PC platform Steam has also been launched simultaneously, with a positive review rate of more than 80% within 24 hours, and the online peak is close to the 41,000 record of "Assassin's Creed: Origin".

　　It is worth noting that "Assassin's Creed" is a rare game that Ubisoft has launched simultaneously on Steam. On the "Best-Selling Game Ranking" ranked by Valve in real time based on revenue, it is sold in many places around the world, sweeping the best-selling champions in the United States, France, Singapore, Hong Kong and other regions.

　　"Assassin's Creed: Shadow" was developed by Ubisoft Quebec Studio, which developed Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and leads players through time and space to Japan in the 16th century to experience the story of the Iga female assassin "Naoe" who is proficient in ninjutsu and the legendary powerful samurai "Yasasuke". As players embark on their own journey, adopt unique styles of gameplay, meet key historical figures, and shape their common destiny in Japan's cruel journey towards unity.

　　"Assassin's Creed: Shadow" is the first large-scale open-world role-playing game after "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla", and it is also the first time that the series has landed on the new generation console platform. According to SteamDB records, among the 13 works that have been launched on Steam in the "Assassin's Creed" series, the highest online record is 62,000 people in "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey", followed by "Assassin's Creed: Origin", and then "Assassin's Creed: Shadow".

　However, as mentioned earlier, "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" is the first "Assassin's Creed" game to be released simultaneously on Steam. Previously, the work was only first released on Ubisoft's own platform Uplay, so the Steam data of other games was not the data from when it was first released. "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" set a series history with nearly 40,000 people on the first day of its release, which does not include other platforms. After the comprehensive scoring website Metacritic Media lifted the ban on three platforms on average 8 points, as of the deadline for this article, Steam players also had more than 80% of the "specially positive reviews".

Satisfied players praised the core mechanism of this game for its interesting, exquisite details of the scenery and picture, smooth optimization and full of immersion. "Don't trust those fake players who initiated cultural wars. This is one of the best works in the history of the series. Both characters are outstanding and the overall gameplay is great. It is the evolution that Assassin's Creed most needed."

A Russian player who played for 3 hours commented: "I can't say much about the plot, but I don't care about those things that don't match historical facts. I just enjoy the story itself. After all, this is a game after all."

　The negative reviews are mainly focused on the existence of the black protagonist. A netizen who had been playing for 3.3 hours satirized the story of the confusing internet celebrity "Johnny Somali" traveling through time and space to feudal Japan.

A Thai player who has played for 8.1 hours said that although the game world is beautiful, the scene is quite empty. "The Valhalla is empty enough, and this generation is even more exaggerated, just as empty as being penetrated by Africans."

　　Assassin's Creed: Shadow has been launched on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC (Ubisoft Store, Steam and Epic Games Store) and Mac App Store, and supports Steam Deck.
