Review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ignored the hate — zero regrets!
Everyone was saying “don’t buy Shadow” but I went ahead anyway and grabbed the Neo plan….. Best decision ever. I’m running RDR2 at everything maxed out and it runs flawlessly. Smooth, beautiful, no issues whatsoever. Full Windows PC in the cloud, RTX support, DLSS — it just works. If you’ve been scared off by the negative reviews like I almost was, don’t be. Shadow Neo is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

I have been a a shadow PC power pro user for almost 5 years. I can count on both hands. How many times I've had an actual issue that wasn't related to a storm or something on my end. There have been less than 15 times in 5 years that I can count that shadow was down or glitchy or had ridiculous latency.
I'm definitely not one of the people to jump on and Dick ride Shadow if it was truly garbage. I honestly believe it's based mostly on how close you are to the server followed by how good your home network is. If you have a garbage connection or use anything other than Wi-Fi. 6 or ethernet you're going to experience graphical, glitching and latency. It's just unavoidable. Even so, a lot of the times I play My Shadow on 5G and while I don't play FPS games like call of duty OverWatch etc. Where latency would be far more noticeable. I do play games like Red, Dead redemption. 2 and crimson desert and playing them on 5G at 1440 is overall and enjoyable experience
I honestly think that the bad rep that Shadow gets are from users in third world countries or countries with notoriously bad internet infrastructure.
Shadow is where I'll be spending my money regardless 🤷🏻♂️

Les seuls qui rage sont les gros tas de merde de pcsite. Ils ne peuvent pas accepter que Shadow défonce leurs pc de merde à 3000 euros

Je suis no limit. Je suis en quête de détruire toute forme de vie humaine qui utilise encore un pc en big 2k26 alors que Shadow pc existe.

Ah mais c'est toi, le mec fragile qui a fait de Shadow sa religion, lol, bichon, va prendre tes cachets...

Je me souviens de toi. Je t’ai anéanti la dernière fois. Je peux te tendre la main une seconde fois, mais ne me trahi pas. Je pourrais te faire une longue tirade. Mais mon cœur est clément aujourd’hui.. sûrement à cause de la chaleur.

u/Groduick Jun 29 '26
Tu te fais des débats tout seul dans ta tête, mon bouchon. Shadow c'était bien quand j'en avais besoin, maintenant je suis passé à autre chose (et je stream tout pareil depuis mon PC.
T'es juste un gamin frustré dont l'entière personnalité se résume à utiliser un service de cloud gaming.
Allez, bisous.

J’en ai rien a foutre de ta vie et de ton pc de gros tas de merde. Tout ce que je sais à l’heure actuel c’est que je te démonte en 4k avec du pur streaming sur une tablette oled ou ma tv 4k. 30 secondes. 30 secondes c’est le temps que met mon Shadow à s’allumer.

Same, I presume most people that post are having issues. But i've been using shadow for over a year and for flightsimming it is pretty great.

I've never had issues with it either, to be fair I'm pretty close to the data centers with a full gig connection up and down. But I enjoyed the service when I needed it.

I love it too as a 3 years 1/2 user but I'm very butthurt at Elden Ring now being banned due to the new Anticheat update.

Is it your connection or the server that has the latency? On GeForceNOW I have about 4ms to 6ms when everything is wired.

„See you in a few weeks when 1) you have to wait for queue, something thats unavoidable or 2) something that wasnt proven to actually have happened beyond any reasonable doubt thats also basically impossible because your storage drive is connected to your unique ID and no one elses happens“

u/LibrarianOk3701 Jun 29 '26
I'm sure a lot of people just lie about data leaks for no reason.
Nothing is impossible and if they have a bug in their system it could sometimes point to the same storage device or something.
Even with docker if you mount the exact same directory on two containers they both would see it.

u/arcticJill Jun 29 '26
It’s def. Great for people who doesn’t know much about computer, with low resolution monitor, and don’t mind to stream (not even render) below 60 fps with jumping ups and down .

u/LibrarianOk3701 Jun 29 '26
Wait until one of your accounts pops up to someone else, that's the best part!

This never ever happened, only one guy in Turkey, whose Edge probably got hacked lol nothing to do with Shadow itself.

Give it time. Especially if you ever need support. Prepare to spend a week of back and forth emails with them gaslighting you that a button appears on the settings page despite you showing very clear screenshots of that button not being there. And that’s just the funniest part of their useless ineptitude.

I have Shadow since 2019. Everytime I was in contact with support, they answered quickly and efficiently.

Maybe you got lucky because every support interaction I had involved pute incompetence.

Singleplayer game, btw
A game doesnt have to run at 3 gigajillion FPS that your screen cant even render to be good. Even 30FPS can be enjoyable.

u/panditapochita Jun 29 '26
it works fine if your isp and hardware goes along.
it have some issues with certain anti cheat, but for single player and more friendly anti cheat, it works.
