I really wanna praise the audio design/quality in Shadows.

Thank freaking God that, quality wise, the audio no longer sounds like an overcompressed mess. Voices especially are no longer the most uncomfortable things I have to hear, especially with headphones on.

This is great because so far this might be the best sounding AC game in a long while. Listening to the wind, the rain, the snow, the people talking, the animals doing their thing, with both headphones and good speakers this game is just a joy to listen to. The environmental music is great, but this is a game where I can turn the music off and just listen to the world itself. This is legit great stuff and it elevates this game to another level.

Edit: I forgot to add, Dolby Atmos/Tempest 3D audio is a game changer for Shadows!!!
