    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a smaller Assassin' s Creed platformer, second entry in Assassin' s Creed chronicles trilogy. It's set in 19th century India, you play as Arbaaz Mir. The game does not bring anything new and revolutionary to the genre but it's a good platformer. The reason i rated it 8 is because the controls at certain situations. The game has a nice mechanics and maps (levels) take time to finish especially if you want the non lethal way. If you are fan of Assassin's Creed serial i recommend you to play this game. Looking at current game prices this game has a good price and it's really worth it.… Expand

    I vividly remember the first time I played Assassin's Creed and I loved the mechanics of stealth and platforming.
    About AC:Chronicles India I can say that its a nice fork of Assassin's Creed series. It focuses purely on stealth and platforming. The reason I gave it 10 is I just loved the fluidity. Yes, there are some really great games in market who cater to same gener but why I loved it    I vividly remember the first time I played Assassin's Creed and I loved the mechanics of stealth and platforming.

    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.

    Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India, the sequel to Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, unfortunately falls short of its predecessor, particularly in terms of its storyline. While the platform gameplay still integrates well with the Assassin's Creed universe, and India serves as a decent setting for the game, the overall narrative and main character lack the captivating charm of Shao Jun.Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India, the sequel to Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, unfortunately falls short of its predecessor, particularly in terms of its storyline. While the platform gameplay still integrates well with the Assassin's Creed universe, and India serves as a decent setting for the game, the overall narrative and main character lack the captivating charm of Shao Jun.

    The assassin-feeling gameplay remains a strong aspect of the game, delivering a high-quality and satisfying experience, from stealthy kills to immersive stealth mechanics. However, the story and main characters fail to live up to the intrigue and depth found in the first game, at least in my opinion. The narrative lacks the same level of interest and engagement, leaving the player less invested in the events unfolding.

    A nice addition is the challenge maps, which are really fun, although frustrating at times.

    Similar to its predecessor, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India offers 18 achievements to earn, yet disappointingly, they are not implemented on Steam. This absence is disheartening for completionists aiming to showcase their progress to others. As with the previous game, achievements are only visible for you on Ubisoft Connect, but not accessible to other players. Furthermore, in-game notifications for unlocking achievements are missing, irrespective of the Ubisoft Connect overlay and notification settings.

    In summary, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India does not surpass its predecessor and struggles to deliver a compelling story and memorable main character compared to Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China. Despite this, the game's platform gameplay retains its high quality and provides a satisfying experience for fans of the franchise. If you enjoyed the gameplay of the first installment and are looking for another Assassin's Creed adventure, it is worth giving Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India a try, though with tempered expectations for its storytelling aspects.    … Expand

    Not the strongest Assassin's Creed or stealth game around, but it's still a good game.

    It’s almost as if we’re watching Prince of Persia evolution again. Just a bit more, and we’ll see a fully 3D Assassin’s Creed, where our hero will finally be able to climb any roof he wants. Oh, wait… [Issue#206, p.68]

    The second chapter of the Chronicles series will provide you with several hours of fun, albeit with slightly repetitive gameplay. A bit more polished than the China chapter, but still nowhere near the old Assassin's Creed glory.
