I am a big fan of AC since I played the first one in 2007, and I have loved them all. Not equally, some have been less great than others, based on various reasons, but I have fully enjoyed all of them and finished everyone at 100%, some of them more than once.
As someone who has also played all of them while living in Japan, as well as being a huge fan of Shogun, since back in the early 80's, this latest installment of Shadows, has been truly awaited. And it is as great as I hoped for, really really great.
If you ever read anything negative about AC Shadows, and it is not an intelligent well thought through nitpicking of some specific details, then it is written by a complete moron, probably fascist, racist misogynists incel who likes you know who, and can be completely ignored.
And to Ubisoft who gave us Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Watchdogs and more, big thank you for this last one!
