(Reuters) -The newest instalment in Ubisoft's blockbuster "Assassin's Creed" franchise received a "mostly positive" rating on Steam based on 497 user reviews, with 79% of them being positive, about two hours after its launch on the game distribution platform on Thursday.
The twice delayed release of "Assassin's Creed Shadows", based on rural Japan, is Ubisoft's first major game premiere since the muted reception of "Star Wars Outlaws" in August last year.
