Assassin’s Creed Shadows has served as both a return to form for the franchise while innovating its mechanics in an entirely new direction, most notably in how Shadows handles its dual protagonists. By separating its two protagonists into an incredibly powerful fighter and a bible assassin, Shadows‘ can better satisfy both its needs for classic stealth and modernized combat without detracting from the other. Although Shadows brings back reworked versions of classic additions like base-building and managing a recruitable team of assassins, there’s still one feature I can’t help but miss over a decade later.
