Apologies for the late post!

One of the biggest games of the year, Assassin's Creed Shadows saw Ubisoft revamp the Anvil Engine for current generation consoles - so where does that leave Switch 2? What we're looking at here is a port that nips and tucks at the Series S experience, using DLSS to make up the difference in terms of image quality. It's impressive as a handheld experience thanks to VRR, but docked mode's frame-pacing judder really needs to be addressed.

Frame pacing is my nemesis

Ian

I’d played it a while before this video and completely agree. It looks sharper docked obviously but I found the uneven frame pacing too much to live with on a big OLED screen. Handheld even though it’s a softer image I really enjoyed it and dips are much less noticeable. I actually think it’s a bit of a marvel that this works handheld.
