    Beautiful game with really inventive level design! Works well in 2.5D and thoroughly enjoyed sneaking about the levels, reminds me a lot of Mark of the Ninja - and thats no bad thing!

    Honestly, I was very surprised by the low ratings of the chronicles trilogy. Yes, this is not a full-fledged Assassin, ay-ay-ay how to live now? ...But still it is a very colorful and interesting platformer. Even the last about the communists, though it was worse than about India and China.

    One of the most underrated ac's. I loved this 2D gameplay and it works well! Stealth is even better than other ac's. It actually forces you to play stealthly or you die pretty quickly.

    Atmosphere is really good. This is the best in chronicles series.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China. The platform gameplay fits surprisingly well with the Assassin's Creed universe, and China serves as an excellent and fitting backdrop for the game. The assassin-feeling gameplay is top-notch, delivering a high-quality and satisfying experience, from stealthy kills to immersive stealth mechanics.

    China's setting    I was pleasantly surprised by Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China. The platform gameplay fits surprisingly well with the Assassin's Creed universe, and China serves as an excellent and fitting backdrop for the game. The assassin-feeling gameplay is top-notch, delivering a high-quality and satisfying experience, from stealthy kills to immersive stealth mechanics.

    China's setting seamlessly integrates with the Assassin's Creed fantasy, offering a well-crafted story that feels authentic to the franchise. The art direction is beautiful, perfectly capturing the essence of the game and enhancing the overall experience. I particularly enjoyed playing as Shao Jun, who proves to be an exceptional and memorable assassin. Her past connection with Ezio adds a layer of depth to the narrative, making her one of the standout assassins in the series.

    While I thoroughly enjoyed the game, I must admit there is one major disappointment: the absence of implemented achievements on Steam. The game has 18 achievements to earn, but for some reason, they are not implemented on Steam. This omission is frustrating for completionists like myself who aim to unlock all achievements but are left without a way to showcase their progress to others. While achievements are viewable for you on Ubisoft Connect, it remains disappointing that other players cannot see them there either. Additionally, in-game notifications for earning achievements are missing, regardless of the Ubisoft Connect overlay and notification settings.

    In summary, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China surprised me with its seamless integration of platform gameplay into the Assassin's Creed universe. The setting, art, and gameplay combine to create a high-quality, satisfying experience, with Shao Jun standing out as one of the franchise's finest assassins. I highly recommend giving this game a try, especially if you're a fan of the Assassin's Creed series and appreciate a well-crafted platform adventure.    … 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.
