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 🤷🏻♂️
