Lunatic Gamer indeed![]()
Arriving a little late to the party, with Ghost of Tsushima already having explored the iconic setting, here are five ways it manages to outshine Sony’s classic.

- Enhanced Stealth Mechanics: Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a sophisticated stealth system with a Splinter Cell-inspired visibility meter and dynamic weather affecting gameplay, surpassing Ghost of Tsushima's focus on swordplay.
- Dynamic World: Shadows features destructible environments and a weather system that alters the game world, providing a more interactive experience than Ghost of Tsushima's visually impressive but static setting.

- Improved Parkour: The shinobi protagonist Naoe in Shadows enjoys a revitalized, fluid parkour system, outshining the more limited climbing mechanics in Ghost of Tsushima.
- Historical Integration: Shadows weaves real historical figures like Yasuke, the first Black samurai, into its narrative, offering a grounded story compared to Ghost of Tsushima's fictionalized approach.

- Dual-Protagonist Variety: With Naoe and Yasuke, Shadows provides diverse gameplay styles, contrasting with Ghost of Tsushima's single-character focus, adding depth to the experience.

i have no stake in this 'who's better than who' contest, but, as a long-time sucker punch fan, & having played tsushima, yes, this is indeed dead on. often stunningly gorgeous, but otherwise easily the most unimaginative game that the studio's ever made...I have played Shadows but all 3 latest AC games outshine ghost of Tsushima and I particularly didn't really like Valhalla. But Tsushima is only a game of presentation and style, the rest is very hollow and the samurai combat so bad like if they learned nothing about sword gameplay those last 20 years.
They played baseball 500 years ago?
I can't think
I played GOT on my ps4 and its was fantastic. Good combat, great graphics, beautiful world, and good story. I havent played AC Shadows ,but i watched a live youtube playthrough by Vara Dark to evaluate if Im going to buy this game or not. Yes it has fantastic graphics especially on ps5 pro, anvil engine is great, but for me GOT is still much better both in combat and story. Even if I ignore the woke agenda twisted gender ideology in the game, ( the romance with binary and same sex) for me GOT is still a miles better and more epic and scale and story and lore.Have you played both?
I don't really think so. Game "journalists" don't make a lot of money these daysUbisoft must have paid a fortune for all of these puff pieces.
Do you happen to work for Ubisoft by any chance OP?
This blatantly AI generated pointless thread aimed at manipulating people into buying Shadows is pathetic. The way you listed ‘Historical Integration’ and ‘Dual-Protagonist Variety’ in a positive light as if these things have been handled with any kind of tact is laughable. You do realise the game has been at the focus of an intense backlash due to a myriad of historical inaccuracies and cultural insensitivity right? The DEI integration concerning Yasuke who isn’t and never has been an actual Samurai has angered many.
This thread should be removed as it is suspiciously and overtly manipulative in nature.

Which one?The shilling for this utterly standard UBI open world schlock is quite a sight to be hold.
Historical is a synonym of a made up garbage nowadaysHistorical Integration: Shadows weaves real historical figures like Yasuke, the first Black samurai, into its narrative, offering a grounded story compared to Ghost of Tsushima's fictionalized approach.
Yeah i've seen a couple of videos with the amazing enemy AI- Enhanced Stealth Mechanics: Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a sophisticated stealth system with a Splinter Cell-inspired visibility meter and dynamic weather affecting gameplay, surpassing Ghost of Tsushima's focus on swordplay.
I don't think anyone gather that even though there's a link at the bottom. Everyone just dogpiled OP when I think they just wanted to show how lazy video game writing has gotten.OP didn't write this. It is a linked article.
"Enhanced stealth"
This is a good question!Where did that happen and what happened after?

This is cogconnected. They have been writing clickbait like this for years. If they thought "5 things Ghost of Tsushima outshines Shadows" would get more clicks then they would write that. And they probably will.
English voice acting and more striking art design/use of colors (?)I can't think of a SINGLE thing Ghosts of Tsushima does better than Shadows.
Literally not even one thing.
I don't know about outshining GoT, but doesn't AC Shadow still suffer typical Ubisoft game bug? It's a running joke at this point that every single Ubi game that they have released suffers from some minor glitch to stability issues.
Would Ubisoft even make Assassins Creed Shadows without Ghost of Tsushima been on the market first?
Ubi have had demands for a game to be set in Japan from a long way back, so the idea is not innovative.
