Open worlds are a blessing and a curse.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is no exception.
Is the main story taking me to a new region?
or have more immediate rewards (castles) than activities that need to be completed for Knowledge.
To be clear: I do enjoy the latter tasks.
They come in all shapes and sizes, with some intractable only as Naoe and others as Yasuke.
Both of them can also gain Knowledge by visiting various temples, shrines, and tomb-like Kofuns.
Even with so many options for getting points, they very quickly blur into one big capital-c Chore.
In short: don’t play Assassin’s Creed Shadows like I did.
As tempting as it is to careen between map markers, treatUbisoft’s latest open-world like a tourist.
