Apr 08 2025

  "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has been released for some time. As an old tradition in the series, the game's graphics performance is still excellent. On the Reddit forum, foreign players praised the game's seasonal system - seasonal changes are a great RPG mechanism.

 The player said: "I spent about 50 hours in AC Shadow to start the main mission, and the time span in the game lasted for two years.

 This is the first time in an RPG game that I sincerely lamented that 'it has grown so much in just two years'. This mechanism that allows the seasons to flow naturally with the game process is worth learning from more works.

  Although the system is not perfect—you can manually advance the season or automatically switch through fast travel—it is this setting that gives me a unique immersion in the first 50 hours of exploration.

  I didn’t expect that the seasonal change could pass on time so truly, but after completing all the bird’s-eye point synchronization, I can really feel that the character Naojiang seems to have experienced the years of precipitation.

  I really hope that this seasonal change system can be seen in the traditional RPG settings of swords and magic. ”

  Netizens also added in the comment section: "In addition to the stunning visual presentation, what really makes me feel the charm of the seasons in "Shadow" is its profound impact on the gameplay strategy."

 "Take Naojiang's stealth experience as an example: When vegetation witheres in winter, you are more likely to be discovered by enemies by the enemy, but the snow can cover up the movement sounds. The frozen lakes and rivers may both become new infiltration paths and potential dangers. There are more rainy weather in autumn, and the dense rain curtains enhance the concealment, but the sounds when stepping on puddles will expose their whereabouts.

  Although these mechanisms are not perfect (to be honest, I have never seen any game's stealth system that can be accurate every time), this dynamic environmental interaction does greatly enhance the overall atmosphere of the game."
