Yasuke is a great character in the story and a net benefit to the narrative. But there are certainly criticisms to be had about him from a gameplay perspective.

IGN's Assassin's Creed Shadows interactive map includes filters for the following: Locations: Castles, Viewpoints, Kakuregas, Landmarks, and Hostile Landmarks. Services: Gear Vendors, Ornament Vendors, and Port Traders.

It's finally happened: Assassin's Creed Shadows is going full meta. Naoe and Yasuke's journey is still a story within a story, but this time, it's framed through the Animus Hub. You, the player, are using the Animus – not Layla, Loki, or anyone else – and that means our perception of the past could well be manipulated.
