Notably, reviews for the title are scheduled to drop on March 18, which at the time of reporting is today, but the specific time remains unclear. As for the reviews that leaked early, they have since been removed from their respective sources.

The ConsoleCreatures review for the title sourced on OpenCritic states the title gives players a lot of freedom and "takes you on a journey of exploration and history of one of Japan's most famous periods". As for the IGN Brasil, the short review was translated from Portuguese and states Shadows is "one of the most iconic titles in the franchise," with the reviewer going on to mention it successfully juggles combat and stealth mechanics against a Japense backdrop that's been previously untouched by Ubisoft.
