"It's this routine again!" Recently, in the Assassin's Creed: Shadows community, there have been complaints from players that people are starting to get tired of this seemingly open but empty narrative.

In a popular Reddit thread, player @Loud-Flamingo-217 complained: "The plot came to a standstill after clearing the prologue!" The characters have no growth in the so-called free exploration, and the classic moments are gone. ”

@SadKazoo adds: "The non-linear narrative makes it impossible for the screenwriter to foreshadow, and the coherence of the story is torn to shreds. ”

Amid the complaint, Assassin's Creed: Origins was frequently mentioned as a positive teaching material, and it was hoped that Ubisoft would return to the story structure of Origins. Player @NoNefariousness2144: "Bayek's story is balanced by the freedom of assassination sequence and the tight pacing of the main quest. ”
