March 20 (Reuters) - The newest instalment in Ubisoft's UBIP.PA blockbuster "Assassin's Creed" franchise received a "mostly positive" rating on Steam based on 359 user reviews, with 79% of them being positive, about two hours after the title launched on the game distribution platform on Thursday.
The twice delayed release of "Assassin's Creed Shadows" is Ubisoft's first major game premiere since the muted reception of "Star Wars Outlaws" in August last year.
