I find this controversy over everything AC Shadows (ACS) ridiculous. ACS has nev♛er presented itself as historically accurate. THIS IS FICTION! In doing r♚esearch I found this definition of historical fiction

Setting in the Past:

The defining characteristic of historical fiction is that the story takes place in a specific time period that is not the present. 

Fictional Characters and Events:

While the setting and context are rooted in history, the characters, plot, and many of the events are invented by the author. 

Authenticity and Research:

Authors of historical fiction often strive for authenticity by researching the period they are writing about, including social customs, manners, and other details of the time. 

Historical Accuracy:

While not always a strict requirement, many readers expect historical fiction to maintain a reasonable level of accuracy regarding historical events, figures, and settings.

So quit your whining. Play the game or don’t. Games are meant to be enjoyed. There are plenty of walkthroughs on YT that can give you an idea of the gameplay to help you decide if you want to spend the money. You can play it for free if you have Xbox Gamepass👍.
