Assassin's Creed Shadows is home to a world that's begging to be explored, and that's exactly what I've been spending most of my time doing in the RPG. When I'm not searching for stylish looks and decorative trinkets, I'm soaking in the views and capturing scenic shots in photo mode. In fact, I got so swept up in doing anything but the main story to begin with, that I was well over 20 hours in when I finally found my way to unlocking Yasuke. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. There are so many view points to reach, castles to clear, and side quests to uncover – not to mention seedy organizations to root out – that it's all too easy to get sidetracked as Naoe in the opening hours.
Once I finally got to try out the ways of the samurai, I stumbled upon a Kofun that was tailor-made for Yasuke. Figuring out how to reach treasure within it was not only satisfying on its own, but since clearing one early on as Naoe, the ancient tomb actually turned out to be perfect training ground to get used to playing as Yasuke.
