How Assassin's Creed Shadows Compares with Other Japanese Action-RPGs?

Image
It seems that a trend is emerging these days to create video games based on real and/or fictional Japanese environments, and the latest example is Assassin's Creed: Shadows. What captures your attention about games of Japanese origin, and where does Assassin's Creed: Shadows sit? While I feel like I am undoubtedly enjoying myself in this realm, the first thought I tell myself after dropping to Japan for a while is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Nioh 2, and Ghost of Tsushima. All of these games portray a different tale and trademarked combat masterpieces. I hope that Shadows lives up to its expectations. Discussing Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, and Nioh 2 about Assassin's Creed: Shadows is like comparing various forms of martial arts. Each has its own timing, degree of independence, and distinctive enjoyment.

Jumping is still tempting, yet the title punishes that muscle memory. No double leaps and little airtime push you toward planting your feet and locking shields, not floating around the kill box. Obviously, it isn't a crawl. Sprint pockets full of fire and swapping guns is practically a knee-jerk reaction, two facts high-skill players love to quote. Still, the tempo tweaks. Eternal wanted you airborne constantly; Doom: The Dark Ages hands you the hammer and tells you to be vintage aggressive about it. When the Slayer lands, the maps shake a fraction late to underscore how heavy invincibility can really feel. Enemies never get the chance to leap over your head, so every fight plays out on the same flat plane.
