Assassin’s Creed Shadows gets a lot right and, in many ways, beats Ghost of Tsushima. However, there’s one mechanic where it truly excels.

With the best armor in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Yasuke and Naoe become nearly invincible. As you explore feudal Japan, you’ll find many fabulous body armors, helmets, robes, and headbands, but some are worth wearing more than others — and we’re not just talking about looks.

Shadows is Ubisoft's most successful game in the franchise by a Japanese country mile, ranking high in both sales and player counts.
