- Assassin’s Creed Shadows has the best combat system in years, as per Baldur’s Gate 3 publishing director Michael Douse.
- The developer welcomed the return of the clear counter system.
- The Ubisoft RPG has received positive reviews from critics so far.
Following the controversy surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows before its release, the game has had a mildly successful and very dramatic start. The RPG attained a million players in just under 24 hours and has been topping charts all over Steam. However, the story has received some criticism despite overall reviews being very positive.
With middling user scores to add, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has started its lifecycle in an eventful manner. The RPG has been called one of Ubisoft’s best for what it’s worth and now another creative has come out in support of the game, highlighting how good its combat is.
Why This Matters: With all the controversy surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the RPG can use all the good word of mouth it gets.
Michael Douse, the publishing director of Baldur’s Gate 3, praised the combat in Assassin’s Creed Shadows on X, considering it one of the best parts of the RPG. The developer stated that the combat felt very tight and deliberate and is the best system the series has seen in many years.
Douse also highlighted the clear counter system in the title’s combat saying he missed this aspect of Assassin’s Creed and it was nice to see it return. All-in-all the Baldur’s Gate 3 publishing director was in awe of Assassin’s Creed Shadows and was a big fan of the combat.
Previously, Michael Douse also commended Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which as we all know doesn’t have the best reputation in the gaming world. Hence, it’s certainly interesting to observe the video games the director praises.
Whatever the case, this adds to the positive reviews Assassin’s Creed Shadows has under its belt with its Steam and PS5 performances showcasing the effect of good word of mouth. And, if one thing is certain, the RPG needs all the positive PR it can get as Ubisoft is heavily reliant on the game’s success for its future.
