What are the best Assassin’s Creed Shadows Amulets and Trinkets? Naoe and Yasuke are going to need all the protective tags and lucky charms they can get their hands on if they want to survive their quest, and Shadows provides some incredibly handy boons. While our best AC Shadows weapons and AC Shadows armor guides only feature Legendary-tier pieces, we have a sneaky, Epic rarity addition that we’ve had a blast using in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Below, you’ll find all of the AC Shadows Amulets a...

There’s a good idea at the core of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. It stars a pair of main characters, the samurai Yasuke and ninja Naoe, who not only play differently from one another but also represent the series’ distant and more recent past. Yasuke, who arrives in Japan during the game’s introduction as an African-born slave to Portuguese traders, is best suited to direct combat, slashing at enemies with a long katana and crashing through doors at a sprint. His movement and combat style are remini...

Rush through Shadows' long introduction to reach the good stuff.

Excellent stealth and combat prevail against Shadows' dull story and forgettable cast.

Suit up with these armour pieces for Naoe and Yasuke.

It's unlikely that the fate of a company as large as Ubisoft will hinge on the success of one tentpole single-player game. But the company cannot afford another major error anytime soon after the likes of Star Wars: Outlaws and XDefiant failed to set the world alight. Ubisoft desperately needs a big hit (and for the Rainbow Six Siege X overhaul to go well). The good news for the company is that Assassin's Creed Shadows is poised to deliver on that. On the surface, it's exactly what you'd expect:...

How do AC Shadows scouts work? Japan is a big place, and for Naoe, the threats are many. If you want to succeed in achieving your vengeance-themed goals, you'll need some help, and AC Shadows scouts are the perfect way to give you an advantage over those who would do you harm. Not only can they dampen the threat on your life, but they can increase your wealth and even scout out an area before you visit. Eventually, you will have a lot of assets on your side in Assassin's Creed Shadows. This incl...

Alongside its tea ceremonies, rangu poetry and Sumi-e ink drawing, Assassin's Creed Shadows makes several mentions of the Sakura festival, Japan's annual cherry blossom celebration. The brief appearance of falling petals each year, lasting just a week or two, is seen as a symbol for the fleeting nature of beauty and life itself - the idea being, especially back during feudal times, that you should enjoy the moment while it lasts. You might survive the invasion of one warring daimyo, but another ...

Assassin's Creed Shadows marks a series milestone as the first entry developed with a total focus on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. It's a bold transition with a clear pay-off in its technology, as last-gen PS4 and Xbox One machines are left behind to ensure the core gameplay incorporates the latest features of Ubisoft's Anvil engine. That includes ray-traced global illumination, procedural weather simulation and world destruction physics - all exciting additions that help elevate its feudal era J...

A shinobi deftly runs across several rooftops after swiftly assassinating several guards. She opens a large castle gate for reinforcements. A hulking samurai walks through, leaving behind a trail of bodies. The two climb up the castle stairs before being greeted by four samurai. They unsheathe their swords, offering me a choice of which character...

Calm down. I’m telling you to calm down. Yes, Xbox has just namedropped Hollow Knight: Silksong, but six years after the initial reveal, I think we all need to approach this with an air of caution. Team Cherry’s massively anticipated sequel has been silent for a long time now, but Xbox mentioning it could point to a 2025 launch.

A sub-$50 cooler with lots going for it.

Between Last Epoch, Diablo 4, the original PoE, and Path of Exile 2, it’s definitely a good time for ARPGs right now. As a matter of fact, there are so many burgeoning, rival games that they’re seemingly starting to get in the way of one another. As Grinding Gear Games prepares for the next big Path of Exile 2 update, Eleventh Hour has seemingly decided to give itself - and players - some breathing room by delaying the launch of Last Epoch Season 2.

While the AirPods hearing aid and hearing test features received Health Canada approval at the federal level in December, the features are not yet available in Canada. According to reports from CTV News and the Toronto Star this month, the features have yet to launch in Canada because regulations vary at the provincial level. In the most populous Canadian province of Ontario, for example, hearing aids require a prescription from a physician or an audiologist. The good news is that Apple recently...
