Assassin’s Creed is a legendary franchise that revolutionized the already inspiring stealth elements. However, as the series continued to grow, it took a diverse route and shifted the focus from Assassins to Warriors.
Now, in 2025, Ubisoft has released their latest installment in the series: Assassin’s Creed: Shadows. With much critical acclaim, it paved the way for the developers to rise from the brink of bankruptcy. Considering how frequent optimization issues have become, AC Shadows is no different and is notorious for its buggy and choppy performance.
