Switched to atomfall for a moment, the game ultimately feel like every other ac game where you see everything gameplay wise after 10-20 hours and then it's just going through the motion until you get bored, and i'm not exactly a samurai/feudal japan super fanboy so the location and lore doesn't do much for me.
Also, the game is far too easy, even during stealth i barely used the prone and i think i only used shadows to hide 1 times in 30+ hours, you don't need to engage with all the systems because the usual whistle from bush + kunai headshots is really enough, i don't even need to move bodies, this is nowhere near mgs5 level imo.
Combat is even easier than stealth, i don't like power fantasies, i like to have a constant challenge, right now i don't give a damn when i find legendary loot, a cardinal sin in a game like this, they should have released the game with an extreme mode.
Also the plot really shoot his best load at the beginning, the presentation of the masked dudes and some naoe/yasuke scenes were really the highlight and since then it has been the usual lame ubisoft writing for most of the time with some rare exceptions (usually related to my dude nobunaga being on screen, at least they nailed him).
Maybe some time away from the game is gonna recharge my synapses and make me ready for round 2.
I think i liked origins more even if it is probably a worse game than shadows, maybe because it was the novelty of an action rpg assassins creed, the sequels never hooked me the same.
