If youāve ever dreamed of being a ninja in feudal Japan, Assassinās Creed Shadows makes that dream realāand dangerous.
Set during the chaotic Sengoku era, the game lets you play as two characters: Naoe, a swift kunoichi skilled in stealth, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai who charges head-on. You can switch between them depending on the mission, which adds a lot of flexibility and fun.
The open world is stunning and dynamic. Seasons change, and each one affects gameplayāsnow makes it easier to hide, and summer opens up new attack routes. Itās not just beautiful; itās strategic.
What surprised me most was how well it runs on the Switch 2. Ubisoft clearly put effort into optimizing it. Playing stealth missions handheld feels incredibly immersiveāsneaking into enemy camps, cutting the lights, causing chaos, and vanishing like a ghost.
If youāre a longtime Assassinās Creed fan or just love Japanese history and stealth gameplay, Shadows is a fantastic way to close out 2025.
