It's finally happened: Assassin's Creed Shadows is going full meta. Naoe and Yasuke's journey is still a story within a story, but this time, it's framed through the Animus Hub. You, the player, are using the Animus – not Layla, Loki, or anyone else – and that means our perception of the past could well be manipulated.

Yasuke is a great character in the story and a net benefit to the narrative. But there are certainly criticisms to be had about him from a gameplay perspective.
