    A stripped down stealth offering that reinvigorates Assassin's Creed by putting attention back on the sneaky stuff.

    This spinoff doesn't need to hide in the shadows of the other titles of the series. This stealth 2D platformer is very motivating with diverse gameplay.

    It's nice to take a break from the increasingly convoluted plot of the main storyline with a straightforward tale of revenge set in a historic corner of the world that often doesn't get a lot of attention in Western video games.

    Although Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China doesn’t have the same feel to it as recent Assassin’s Creed titles, it does perform well as a platformer.

    It’s clear that China took the best bits of its larger siblings and added its own flavor – I feel the big budget work of Ubisoft Montpelier would be served well by returning the gesture.

    Chronicles might be a little tame in places and lack enough variety to keep you interested for long, but it has a charm I feel the other Assassin’s Creed games now lack.

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 »
