Assassin’s Creed Shadows is an Assassin’s Creed game to its core. You probably have a general idea of what to expect. Sneaking past bad guys. Stabbing bad guys. Climbing tall structures and elegantly diving into hay bales that happen to be next to some bad guys (who you then stab).

As players progress through the game, they will become more familiar with mechanics that can help them navigate investigations, find collectibles, and come across gear to increase their various stats. Having some good habits and knowing early game tricks can give players a great head start in completing everything the game has to offer.
