Joining the chorus of positive reviews, Baldur's Gate 3 developer says Assassin's Creed Shadows has the series' best combat "in years"

We haven't even hit its first weekend yet, but praise for Assassin's Creed Shadows can be found in just about every corner of the interweb - and joining the chorus of positive reviews is Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director Michael 'Cromwelp' Douse.

The Larian Studios lead chimed in on the game in a new social media post. "I really like the combat in AC Shadows," he wrote before comparing it to the AssCreeds of yesteryear. "It feels tight and deliberate, with a welcome return to the clear counter system I missed. Best AC combat system in years." One commentor added that they felt the combat in the series' other RPG offerings - Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla - felt too MMO-like, to which Douse simply responded, "Bingo."
