In this episode, Andrew welcomes Phil Barrera from the Wait For It Podcast to dive deep into Assassin’s Creed Shadows. After years of anticipation, the series finally brings us to feudal Japan—and there’s a lot to unpack. The guys break down first impressions of the stunning setting, the introduction of dual protagonists Naoi and Yasuke, and what those new gameplay mechanics really mean for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
They discuss how the game stacks up to other entries in the franchise, offer honest thoughts about the story’s strengths and weaknesses, and weigh in on whether the dual protagonist system actually improves the Assassin’s Creed formula. You’ll also hear a candid chat about world-building, the divisive quest structure, memorable side content (or not), character development, and where Shadows fits into the overall AC RPG lineup.
As always, expect light spoilers (with plenty of warnings), gamer banter, and that average player perspective you know and love. Thinking about picking up the game or wondering if Shadows lives up to the hype? This conversation is for you!
