Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ many strengths and few failures have made me realize that one of Ubisoft’s maligned games isn’t as bad as people say.

Ubisoft are giving Assassin's Creed Shadows an update that'll let players activate auto-pathing on their horse, but is it a good idea?

Assassin’s Creed Shadows players will spend dozens of hours traversing the sprawling provinces of central Japan. Now they’ll be able to turn off their brain during those long treks through the rolling hills of the countryside, thanks to a feature introduced — or should we say, reintroduced to the franchise — in the first proper patch for the game.
