Players who want to protect her will need to put extra effort into hiding the bodies in bushes or out of her path before she sees them, and this is where a lot of the game’s frustration comes into effect. Some of the story can change depending on how well you hide the atrocities you commit from her she’ll be traumatised if she sees a corpse, and eventually adopt a more nihilistic outlook on the game’s events. Every level revolves around leading Lily, a small orphan who takes a liking to our protagonist, to safety. In fact, the AI in general is Shadwen’s biggest stumbling point. While superhuman AI isn’t a big challenge when any mistake can be undone, it does ruin any real attempt to build tension. The rewind mechanic also feels like an easy way to cover up the unforgiving and binary guard AI that can identify, take aim, and kill the player in one shot almost instantly. A button has to be held to make time move when the player is stationary, meaning waiting for guards to move out of the way (a core part of almost any stealth game) can be more than a minute of just sitting in a bush, awkwardly holding one key down. It’s a neat idea in isolation, but it’s not one I think lends itself particularly well to a stealth game. If everything goes wrong and the guards are alerted, time can also be rewound to attempt a section again and again. This gives the player time to assess their surroundings, look for vantage points, and aim the grappling hook to perform speedy air manoeuvres. The main mechanical hook of Shadwen is that, much like Superhot, time won’t move until the player does. What’s worse is that it manages to fall short in some of the most crucial ways a stealth game could. Unfortunately, after playing both the preview build and the final retail copy, it’s safe to say that Shadwen is as bare-bones as it gets. With that setup, and a really interesting world to play about in, there’s no way it could fail, right? Wrong. Shadwen has a really cool premise: take control of an assassin (also called Shadwen) with a grappling hook and the ability to manipulate time, to sneak through an occupied city with a little orphan girl to take down a despotic king. We don’t have any updates just yet, but please keep an eye out for news on that.A few nuggets of goodness buried under a mountain of bland A message on ResetEra from a support staff member read, “The team is aware of some visual issues in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate on PS5 and working on a fix as soon as possible.
