Nonsense. My 55-hour playthrough so far is 70% Yasuke. I love rampaging as him. Decapitating yokai and the secret order of s൩cummy shopkeepers never gets old. Also, using the huge mallet, you can smash heads in like a baseball. So much fun! My AC characters are always barbarian builds, emphasizing raw murdering power instead of stealth. I love that Ubisoft gave us gamers choices to not play as a rogue. They even put up options to play the game like it's *Black Flag*, complete with guaranteed assassinations regardless of enemy level. *Shadows* is the best AC since *Black Flag* for me. I miss the humor and f𓆉antastic beasts like in *Odyssey*, but overall, this is a 9/10 game. I am saying this as an old dude who has been playing this series since 2007.
