The game is beautiful. The game plays like Assassin's creed should.
The game lacks what has made Assassin's Creed what it is; Isu, Apples of Eden, a compelling story.
Desmond Miles arc, Black Flag, Origins, and Oddessy were the pinnacle of the franchise. There is no metastory in Shadows, leaving it a boring historical documentary that is just... boring.
We're hoping that Ubisoft gets back to their roots and figures out how to continue the story of the Isu, Apples of Eden, and create a compelling story.
