I kind of messed up, guys. In assuming that Assassin's Creed Shadows would be like the series' past RPG entries – think the largely inconsequential player decisions in Valhalla and Odyssey, for example – I discovered that it's possible to be such a stubborn, vengeful asshole that recruitable allies refuse to join your cause.

After a seven years of bad Assassin’s Creed games, Shadows has finally gotten me back into the series and makes me excited for its future.

Unfortunately, this is something Assassin’s Creed Shadows doesn’t tell you. However, by our estimate, seasons can take anywhere between 2–3 hours to complete. Spring, summer, and fall appear to finish in around 2 hours, but winter appears to take a bit more time.
