- Many Assassin’s Creed Shadows have taken to social media to discuss hidden mechanics that Ubisoft failed to explain clearly.
- Players who spent over 50 hours in the game did not know they could customize individual parts of weapons.
- Others also had no idea you could change the aesthetics of what you wear, which is unlocked after you find a blacksmith for the forge.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ launch has been embraced with varying opinions worldwide. On one hand, the Steam reviews are positive for the RPG, but the user ratings on sites like Metacritic are as poor as you would expect. Now, the game finds itself in yet another controversy.
Many Shadows players—some with over 50 hours—have now taken to social media to discuss many of the game’s hidden features that they’ve just found through hearsay. They have blamed Ubisoft for failing to reveal these mechanics clearly.
Why it matters: While Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been praised for delivering a better experience than most expected, the game still fails to clearly disclose some of its most impressive qualities.
On a popular Reddit post, a surprised player with 55 hours in Assassin’s Creed Shadows said he just learned that you can customize individual parts of weapons. Many other users were also shocked to learn about the mechanic in the comments.
Most players have been customizing the entire weapon without exploring the new feature too deeply. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the first title in the franchise to let you customize individual parts of weapons, after all.
The title also has other small yet unique features players have found after spending hours in the game. For instance, you can transmog armor to change the aesthetic to your liking. This can only be done after you get a forge in the hideout and find a blacksmith.
Some have criticized Ubisoft for failing to reveal these mechanics more clearly, but the other side argues that these players are to be blamed for not reading up on tutorials.
Do you think Ubisoft is to blame for not making these features more obvious to players during gameplay, or should players pay more attention? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
