The flash of a kunai as it extinguishes a lamp. The careful movement, crawling through long grass on elbows and knees to remain out of sight. Taking advantage of a sudden heavy shower of rain to turn slow steps into a sprint into a knife-in-the-dark assassination. Assassin's Creed Shadows feels like the series at the peak of stealth.
Brutal assassinations that have you yell to attract attention just before the kill. Running full pelt to smash down wooden doors. Using a teppo gun, massive kanabo club, or a samurai sword to dismember foes. Switching weapons mid-combo. Assassin's Creed Shadows can also feel like the least stealthy entry.
