    Inexplicably not created in UbiArt framework, China offers a quality stealth platforming experience that Assassin's Creed fans will enjoy, but will ultimately remain in the genre's high water mark's (Mark of the Ninja) shadow.

    An interesting game, despite its hangups and frustrating difficulty. [June 2015, p.64]

    Do you want to know what happened to Ezio's last apprentice? Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is answer for this question. It's a clone of Mark of Ninja. It's still fun but it should release for mobile devices. It gives a new lore for Assassin's Creed fans.

    To boil it down to the very basics: Chronicles is a platformer, a reincarnation of old Prince of Persia. There are no famous landmark, no intricate story involving multitude of historical personages. Even the weapons selection is very barebone. [June 2015, p.80]

    There’s definite worth in this spin-off, and ample evidence that Climax can deliver, but a greater sense of adventure is needed if Chronicles is to truly soar.

    Assassins Creed Chronicles: China sees a massive departure from the core gameplay of the franchise, and while it is refreshing to see the game take some risks it never really finds its own identity.

    Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China is a wonderful setting for a competent, but fairly unimaginative, 2.5D stealth title. Hopefully this won’t be Shao Jun’s final appearance.

What is going on with Ubisoft? This is not even an AC game, it's a platform game at best, and at worst it's somebody not having enough creativity to continue the series as it should be. What a waste of money! On the PC you can only use the keyboard. You are not able to change the controls as in previous AC games. So you are stuck with using 3 or 4 keys at the same time just to counter an attack. Ridiculous. Definitely NOT worth it, and I'm such a huge fan of AC (and Ubisoft). This is the greatest disappointment and definitely not what anyone would expect of a company that has achieved so much with this series. If I had read these reviews before purchasing it, I might have saved my money. Do yourself a favor and if you haven't bought it, don't! You will be thoroughly disappointed. I played for about 30 minutes and will now uninstall it and relegate it to oblivion if possible.… Full Review »
