    The game is among the worst I have played in the last 25 years. I hope for this waste of time, the developers were dismissed.

    Assasin creed games already make me womit.... cmon Ubisoft! Release more 5 this year, so all your fans like me leave you... too much of the same isn't always good, ya know? Copy pasting mark of teh ninja is also not a huge achievment...

    Absolutely the worst example of Assassin's Creed ever! 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 withAbsolutely the worst example of Assassin's Creed ever!

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.… Expand

    Худшее убогое говно, в которое я играл. Не вздумайте брать эту парашу от угософт никогда, слышите - НИКОГДА. Сохраните свои нервы и деньги

    A poorly written and mechanically inconsistent version of Mark of the Ninja. Get Mark of the Ninja instead.

    The list of flaws would be so long that 5000 characters wouldn't be enough.

    This game is a very lazy Mark of the Ninja clone with really bad level design, clumsy controls and boring story.

    And as usual with Ubisoft, the PC version has no real settings. All you can do is change the resolution and turn V-sync on/off. You can't even disable controller vibration!

    Bottom line: a very bad clone of a great game and another crappy PC port from Ubisoft.

    Boring and lazy piece of crap, artstyle is unique but looks bad anyway and gameplay can be fine and fun sometimes but still its bland and fun for like first ten minutes, escape sequences were ok at least. Story is practically non existent.

    As a huge fan if the series, I grabbed this game as it was free on uplay. But I was utteerly dissapointed. I enjoyed a few parts, annd loved the art, but the story is hollow, and their isnt muchac. In every ac game, their is some memorable historical figure, from leonardo da vinci to Charles Darwin to Cleopatra and even Leonidas the 1stand many more, but this games only memorability isAs a huge fan if the series, I grabbed this game as it was free on uplay.

In every ac game, their is some memorable historical figure, from leonardo da vinci to Charles Darwin to Cleopatra and even Leonidas the 1stand many more, but this games only memorability is the art style, and thats about it. Stunning as it is, its hard as hell and there is grinding that is more annoying than odyssey and origins grinding, and unlike for those two games, from the very start. Its a puzzle platformer that does its thing, but as an ac game, its just not ac.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stealth can be even slower than other AC games at times. The combat is just weird, it doesn't feel right to me personally, it feels weirdly difficult/just badly designed. This is the first game in the AC series I just put down and didn't finish. Dissapointing since I think the visuals are really cool. Story is kinda bland too.… Expand

    Using assassin’s stealth techniques in a 2D environment didn't really succeed. It looks nice, and it even entertains for a moment. But do not expect anything more. [Issue#253]

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

    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.
