SG 209 | ASSASSINS CREED SHADOWS: YA NOS LO HEMOS PASADO + SWITCH 2: MÁS DETALLES + ACTUALIDAD
Episode notes
The program opens with Nintendo Switch 2 news: the price of the console and games, Game Key cartridges, the arrival of Cyberpunk 2077, US pre-orders, the storage size of several titles, Japanese versions, and its specifications. They also discuss the announced battery life, the Spanish dubbing of Doom: The Dark Ages, and updates for Switch games, including resolution, performance, loading-time improvements, and features such as the Joy-Con mouse mode.
They then cover Ubisoft's new Tencent-backed subsidiary and devote much of the episode to Assassins Creed Shadows, which one participant has already completed. They highlight its Japanese setting, the story of Naoe and Yasuke, and the contrast between stealth, mobility, and heavy combat. At the same time, they question the campaign's pacing, repetitive castles and collectibles, the shallow RPG systems, the difficulty as players progress, and narrative choices with limited consequences. Their final assessment is positive: they recommend it as a notable action adventure, although they believe Ubisoft's formula and the excess of repetitive content prevent it from being a more rounded result.
