As shared on Reddit, a user has collected his experience with the first 10 hours of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. He states that the game has more than lived up to expectations, delivering on his expectations of Ghost of Tsushima’s gameplay with improved stealth mechanics.

Elsewhere, the player praised Ubisoft’s work on the cutscenes. Assassin’s Creed Shadows features 700 cutscenes, and the user notes that the first two to three hours are packed with mo-capped cutscenes.

In terms of polish, the user’s experience has been mostly positive so far. As per the post, the game has yet to display any major bug apart from one rare instance of an NPC walking through a wall.

However, not everything about the gameplay has been positive so far. According to the user, the dodging and parrying feel sluggish.

It should be noted that Ubisoft will likely release a day-one patch for Assassin’s Creed Shadows at launch. The patch could address the problems existing in the leaked build, so things will only improve from here.
