    Well, I'll start by saying that this game could have been called Assassin's Creed: Black Flag 2, but who cares? It's a formula that in my honest opinion works much better than the one used in Unity, where they removed some of the best features of the previous game.

It's a formula that in my honest opinion works much better than the one used in Unity, where they removed some of the best features of the previous game. The naval combat and exploration is awesome, there are some epic battles waiting for you, whether you try to conquer a fort or instead choose to engage on a legendary battle with a ship, much like in ACIV:BF. I love the sense of freedom, and all the activities that are at my disposal and that can be re-done almost whenever I like, such as "harpooning", engage on battle with enemy ships to gather resources or reinforce my fleet to the naval campaign, or if I'm just tired of going around on the sea, I can also go hunt or try to plunder a couple of warehouses! All of this has been removed from Unity, and it was nice to have them back on this game. So yeah, all in all it's being an extremely positive experience, the game doesn't look as big as ACU for completion's sake, but it feels very fresh all the time. I'm still on a very initial stage of the game, but I'm positive this feeling of freshness will remain until the end. To be honest, I think this is the second best game of the series, in parallel with ACIV, only surpassed by ACII, which introduced incredible innovations at the time.

    Now, more technically speaking, of course the textures aren't as crisp as in Unity, which was predictable, given the system requirements and the fact that this is basically a port of a game released for the previous generation consoles. Still, they do the job, and not being as detailed and crisp as Unity, it's certainly more beautiful, with its jungles, caves, settlements and last but not least, almost endless sea :)

    The gameplay is also on par with what we've been used to on the series, the parkour is not perfect, so the land exploration and hunting can be annoying a couple of times, when you jump down the tree instead of climbing up, or when you miss by inches a rocky ledge and fall to your death. The gameplay really shines on the naval battles, sometimes I feel that this is the main purpose of the game, since it's so very well thought and designed.

    I don't know what else I should say about this game, so maybe I'll just mention a couple of cons just as to my review doesn't sound too biased. As I said before, the parkour isn't perfect, resulting in a couple of accidents when you try to do some basic looking manoeuvres when you're on foot, and the enemies' AI is also poor, I think it's never been easier to hide from enemies after you've been detected. Sometimes I'm hidden in a bush, an enemy comes to me, I kill him and hide him instantly in the bush, and there was an enemy a couple of meters away looking on my direction and he doesn't even notice his mate has been assassinated.

    All in all, I think it's a great game, I'd easily recommend it to anyone who's new to the series or to anyone who's already a veteran. Of course that if you played ACIV:BF and didn't like it, you'll probably won't enjoy this one either. However, if you liked ACIV:BF, you'll definitely love Rogue, so go ahead and get it. The series are probably taking a turn to a totally different direction, I'm not very optimistic about it after playing Unity, so let's enjoy this "old" take on the series while we can.

    Cheers, I hope this review has been helpful to you.

    The story is fresh since you could see the the world on the Templar's point of view. The naval battles is nice specially when enemy ships can now board your ship.

    The graphics are good, performance is Perfect! Never had any crashes or freezes.

    AC: Rogue basically gives off the same vibe as AC: IV did. The same formula, the same mechanics but overall one of the better executed AC games.

    Im really enjoying this game. The graphics are just average in that they are better than AC 3 but worse than AC4 IMO however it runs 10 times better. The game and story are both great. If you liked AC3 AC black flag and AC liberation this is a must have. Nice change of pace from the disaster that was Unity.

    Assassin's Creed Rogue is a great game - it's the best optimized AC game i ever played on PC although the graphic is not that beautiful as Unity, the game still looks amazing and gorgeous and run at steady 60 FPS at max settings. the music and sound is great, the characters and the storyline is the most fresh and interesting since AC2 series IMHO. if you were dissapointed by AC-Unity likeAssassin's Creed Rogue is a great game - it's the best optimized AC game i ever played on PC although the graphic is not that beautiful as Unity, the game still looks amazing and gorgeous and run at steady 60 FPS at max settings. the music and sound is great, the characters and the storyline is the most fresh and interesting since AC2 series IMHO. if you were dissapointed by AC-Unity like me and alot of other peoples and lost faith in AC series - just give this game a shot and you will be very suprised how good and great this game are.

    quick question to Ubisoft: Ubisoft - please tell us how come that a "side" game (Rogue) is become much superior compared to the main game in the series !? (Unity)

    Bottom line - If you loved other AC games and was disappointed by the last game (Unity) - This game is a must have.

    Being a huge Assassin's Creed fan, I thoroughly enjoy this game. I am at about a 29% completion with 10 hours recorded and I don't really have any major complaints other than a few things.

    The Bad: -The freerunning doesn't look as smooth as it does in AC unity, and is a bit more difficult to control. That being said after playing for a couple of hours you start to get used to this.
    Being a huge Assassin's Creed fan, I thoroughly enjoy this game. I am at about a 29% completion with 10 hours recorded and I don't really have any major complaints other than a few things.

    The Bad:
    -The freerunning doesn't look as smooth as it does in AC unity, and is a bit more difficult to control. That being said after playing for a couple of hours you start to get used to this.
    -Bugs, I haven't encountered any big ones myself other than it being impossible to find animals in their designated locations sometimes.
    -Easy combat. Taking on massive groups of melee enemies is a piece of cake as usual, but I am not afraid to say that I have been bested by the everyday ranged unit and stalker.
    -No mouth animations when out of cut scenes. I know this is a small complaint but this totally breaks immersion for me in game when I hear a line of dialogue come from an NPC and their mouths don't move at all. It is not game breaking in any way and some people may not even notice.

    The Good:
    -Absolutely massive and detailed map where there is always things to do and places to explore. Coming from about 45 hours in AC Unity this was a very refreshing change!
    -Interesting combat. (I know this is in the bad too, let me explain) In Assassin's Creed Rogue you actually spend most of your time fighting against Assassin's, and they like to employ different tactics than your average AC enemies, these enemies will let you think you escaped by slowly "losing" you, and just when you think you're safe you get air assassinated. Also it is interesting to always have to be on the lookout for stalkers, who could be hiding on benches, roofs, and even hay bales.
    -Good story. Now I know that a lot of people will disagree with me, but compared to AC Unity, this story is far more engaging because there is actually some sort of internal conflict that takes place, making you question whether or not what shay is doing it what you would do and whether or not that is the right thing to do.
    -Naval combat. Although there is a little less here than there was in AC4, the massive areas you can explore on land make up for this, you can still raid and plunder unsuspecting ships, then steal their gold just like the gold old days, and another option they added (Which is very unappreciated!) is the ability to exchange the ship you boarded for gold, if say, you have full health and you don't want it to be a part of Shay's fleet. Overall, I think the naval combat was better in Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, this game comes very close and is still just as engaging. Also enemies can now board your ship, exciting!
    -PC Port. Now I know that everyone has had some bad experiences with previous Ubisoft ports, so you may be a little cautious as to whether or not you should pick this game up, so I came to assure everyone that this is a PC port that looks great and doesn't introduce any new bugs (at least none that I have found).
    -What I thought was very lacking in AC Unity is very, very present in AC Rogue, gadgets. You have so many gadgets and gear that it keeps gameplay very interesting all the time. For example I will explain Shay's Air Rifle, this silent shooting gun can do 6 different things (Not sure if more are unlocked later) including: Putting single targets to sleep (Sleep dart), single target berserk (berserk dart), Distracting/luring targets (firecracker shot), and **** grenades (shrapnel grenade, berserk grenade, sleep grenade). That's just one weapon, we still see the return of the classic rope dart and throwing knives and a few others such as the gas mask, which comes quite in handy when fighting an army of Assassin's.
    -Economy, so something that was absent in the past couple of AC's but something I loved about the older games is building renovations. There are buildings (forts count too) all over the world that you can renovate (for stone and money) and then start collecting income. Once you start to spread your influence all over North America you really start bringing in some dough. What this does is it makes it so money is not a constant grind, but something that you can earn while doing other things that actually interest you. Crafting with pelts and upgrading with materials plundered while out at sea is also very fun and time consuming. It is always rewarding when you finally get that final upgrade.

    Conclusion:
    If you are in to the Assassin's creed (or naval/pirate) genre and you have a PC then I think this game is a must have. The game plays great, is optimized, and rarely to never crashes. It has an engaging story from the point of view of the classic enemies, fun as hell naval combat, and a time consuming material/economy/crafting system that will keep you raiding and plundering for hours. I gave this game a 9 because it is not perfect, and has a couple of bugs and can seem repetitive after playing for an extremely long amount of time. Anyone who gets this game who has a passion for intense fighting and exploration will enjoy this game

    Skip Unity, buy Rouge.

    All in all it's similar to AC Black flag. In my opinion, the story is great. I always wanted to play as a templar.

    Not to forget that the game is incredibly optimized and that you can play it with almost any graphics card from 2012. The game is a bit on the short side but it's worth it.

    Dear God, what a miracle. Ubisoft actually did something good for once.

    Was surprised by how well it runs, but that's to be expected since it's a last gen game. The story is much better than the fourth game, as well as the characters. And there are a few new weapons and abilities as well. Would recommend if you liked Black Flag and AC3. The main theme is very nostalgic as well, mixing some AC2 songs with the AC4 songs.

    Besides, the story is actually damn cool, the Lisbon scene was amazing and I loved how it tied all the Kenway games together with Unity.
    Only bad thing about this game is really the gameplay, it doesn't add anything new but who cares anyway. Black Flag's gameplay was the most fun Assassin's Creed has ever had.
    Truly sad this game was overshadowed. Had it had more budget and been an actual title, it could have been the greatest AC game ever since AC2. But they went for Unity. OOPS.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am at a loss for words on where and how to begin describing the feelings and emotions i experienced while playing this masterpiece. Earlier this year Ubisoft vouched that they would work hard to make games better as far as completion and optimization went, and ladies and gents they kept that promise. Assassin's Creed Rogue is a product of your dedication to the company and the game itself, so i say to you congratulations on a game well done. For those of you who have yet to try it i recommend it highly. Fantastic game play, smooth 60FPS on med-high range PC. Even low end PC's can enjoy 60FPS with most settings set to high, it is very well optimized and has almost no bugs and glitches, I've only run in to one glitch during an event quest where the NPC was not there, i triggered it from above instead of below. That was solved with a single retry. The sea battles have been improved big time, you can get boarded by NPC now, and many additional new things have been added to it. Like assassinating high profile historical character such as Washington, and rescuing another historical character Franklin. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I start: I am a big fan of the series, have played all of them and completed almost all of them. I was not a big fan of Black Flag (mostly because of the story, but also because some of the "side content" was mandatory to progress, which had me lose interest eventually), but did like ACIII.

    I didn't think I'd enjoy Rogue much, as most people said it was very similar to BF, and it is. However, this has become one of my fave AC-games.

    Story
    This is where Rogue gets a lot of points. The game manages in a very nice fashion to build a bridge between ACIII and Unity. This game is a prequel to AC III, and it was quite fascinating to play and see how the Templars got so powerful, how Achilles ended up the way he did before you meet him in AC III etc.

    Of course, you know the deal: This is about an assassin becoming a Templar. There are some parallels to the whole Anakin Skywalker-thing - brash student with lots of potential goes to the dark side and destroys his former organisation.
    However, Shay still has mercy left. He works with the Templars, but has good intentions and actually still does good things. At the end, there is a direct segue to Unity...or back to the beginning, if you want to (re)play AC III.
    Great stuff!!

    Gameplay
    This is very similar to BF. The parcouring and combat is totally similar to ACIII and BF, but there is a very strong focus on naval battles. There are some small improvements, and some differences (icebergs, for example), but mostly, its like BF... capture forts, destroy or capture ships, salvage them or add them to your fleet.
    Fortunately, no diving this time, which I HATED in BF. Instead, here you examine and explore shipwrecks, wghich is where you find blueprints to improve your ship to the maximum level.

    Characters
    I liked all the main characters. Haytham, Achilles, and several other chars from the series are involved. Shay is a cool guy.

    Misc stuff
    Different outfits (if you completed other AC games, you can wear Altairs and Ezios robes), whaling, a new weapons (air rifle, which replaces the blowhorn from BF, plus a grenade launcher, which you can use to toss berserk, sleep or shrapnel grenades)

    Verdict
    The game sometimes is forgotten because it came out so close to Unity, and Unity created a lot of press (a lot of it negative), but: It's an important entry to the series. While AC1-Revelations were pretty straight forward, the next part of the series started almost from the end, and Rogue leads back to AC III and closes the cycle... and leads to Unity.
    It is like a mix between BF and ACIII, but where it really shines is with the story.
    I finished the game (main story, quite a lot of side content) in 16 hrs, but there is more I could have done... find all blueprints and upgrade my ship to go for legendary ships, unlock all buildings and settlements etc.
    I enjoyed this quite a lot. If you liked ACIII and especially BF, and want something similar AND understand more about the connection between Achilles, Haytham, Connor, Shay, Adewale and the Dorians, get this!

    But no, it still does not change the fact that the story and gameplay was INSANE!
    The optimization of this game is so good. Always 60 fps in a medium-end pc. Always 60. Everytime.
    You have some bucks? Go, buy the game and explore the freedom, the fresh blue sea, the story of an Assassin, and the background of it.

This game was overshadowed by Unity and Unity's buggy release killed this game before it could take a flight though it was very well made. You play as Shay, a former assassin who became a Templar after his actions created widespread destruction. The tables have turned and now you hunt assassins instead of templars, this provides a great perspective as you belong to the other side of the faction which has been on war for millennia. The assassins hide in haystacks and near wells and attempt to kill you, then the hunter becomes the hunted; this could have been handled so much better, but it was wasted. You have a ton of new weapons and the combat is the same as the previous games. I recommend using this cheat which makes Shay freak out and he starts making fun remarks while taking a leap of faith or while fighting. Haytham, Achilles, and Adewale are among the many well-known characters who return in this game. If you've played AC3 and AC4, seeing their history adds so much to the overall storyline. The ending connects to AC Unity which is a great addition to the plot. This game had so much potential but Ubisoft had so little patience. Expand

    Although the story has almost the same gameplay as Black Flag, it has a gripping story, a cool protagonist, fills in some important gaps in 3/4 and you can spend a good few hours in this game.
    Pros:
    - Slightly nicer graphics compared to Black Flag - Main Story/Protagonists ok. - Plenty of things to do in the game without getting bored - Welcome reduction of animus fragments/chests on

    - Slightly nicer graphics compared to Black Flag
    - Main Story/Protagonists ok.
    - Plenty of things to do in the game without getting bored
    - Welcome reduction of animus fragments/chests on world map (but still useless)
    - Mini naval battle game is almost the same as BlackFlag and still fun.

    Cons:
    - Naval Battle minigame can only be completed after the end of the game, however the best sword is given with this minigame.
    - The best pistol can also only be acquired after the end of the game, which ends up being almost useless.
    - Various costumes acquired by collecting in-game items and there is no bonus.
    - Current times are still pretty boring.

    Despite being clear the use of the entire 3/4 engine has some different things to do and has a nice story. If you can get in promotion like me paying R$29.90 (6 USD) for the deluxe version, you will feel satisfied.

    Best Assassins creed after the second installment IMO. While some may feel it as a copy/paste of Black Flag but trust me it has got one of the most satisfying tale to tell seen through a Templar's eye and SHAY turns out to be another memorable character in the franchise. Go for it. Highly Recommended !

The music and ambient music is a bit of a mix and a hat tip off to AC2's soundtrack. The story I would say is very forgettable bar a few scenes that were pretty awesome but it ends on a set up for the next game which is absolutely blegh. Gameplay is basically black flag but very condensed there's less setup and its more straightforward think of it like far cry 4 to far cry 3. It was definitely enjoyable enough for me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 画面:整体锐度介于三代和四代之间,植被无触碰物理晃动,色调偏冷偏淡,不同于4代中的暖洋洋的感觉,海水色调也不同,但也很漂亮,内陆的淡水区的渲染非常清澈悦目。对市井纽约的刻画强于三代,北大西洋地区的极光很漂亮也很应景。85分。

    音乐:作曲主创好像不是什么大牌,但实际配乐不比4代差多少。其实开场主菜单的音乐并非2代风格,而是爱尔兰的空灵风格的,用那段Ezio's Family的部分略显喧宾夺主,毕竟那段前奏2代风格太重了。同步鸟瞰点时的短音乐还有些4代的影子。要知道几乎整个游戏的乐曲充斥着爱尔兰音乐的风格,特别是海战部分的那首Dangerous Water,这与主角Shay和曾经的搭档Liam等人的爱尔兰移民身份非常搭调。整体配乐节奏感和环境渲染力足够,旋律感不足(因为毕竟不算是系列招牌作品),得不够95分,但可以给85分。

    游戏性:战斗机制几乎完全等同于4代的,包括优点和缺点,增加了一丁点新的应敌招式,比如被敌人从背后抱住,另一个敌人开枪时直接摁反击键就可以把后面的敌人当盾牌。任务的100%同步要求比4代的更合理,多数同步要求是很有趣味性和挑战性而非机械式的。缺点是100%同步要求很容易被错过,因为提示太不明显。75分。

    环境塑造:地图好像不比4代小,而且航行地图有两个。在4代里扫地图开宝箱,到了一个小岛上往往直接可以看到宝箱,而在叛变中,好像没有一个未知海域的宝箱是放在明处的,至少要绕一下才能看到,更多的往往需要找路,爬爬树和峭壁什么的才能找到。叛变里的野外地图是全系列里最复杂的,很多我忘了名字的地方的宝箱需要经过复杂的山洞,峭壁等路径才能完成探索,这是个很不错改进,至少可以让收集不再那么机械化。然而我还是不喜欢刺客信条的收集品设置,它还是太机械,太滥了,看着纽约地图上多如牛毛的收集品,强迫症患者的心里并没有惊喜(喜欢收集品多的往往不会去认真收集)。庞杂的收集品设定强行拉长了我的实际游戏过程,两次全收集是颇为虐心的,80分,因为收集品太多太滥,减20分。

    剧情:

    剧情可以给85分,毕竟圣殿骑士对于玩家来说还是比较陌生的,新鲜感很充足。

    优化:地图堪称巨大,模型丰富,环境优美。但游戏只需要4代黑旗三分之一多的空间。相对的画面降档带来了稳定的运行表现,在我110+小时的运行中好像没有因为游戏自身原因游戏崩溃,bug不多,但60级战列舰通关后不能再获取的问题却很让我窝火。角色飞天bug我没有在系列其他作品里遇到,却在叛变里的Fort de Sable里遇到了一次。印象里这次全局没有数据统计类bug,不论是游戏内置的数据还是半外置的Uplay成就系统都没出过错,算是个进步(这本身就是育碧应该做到的啊)。Uplay在游戏退出后难以完成存档同步,但在开始运行时似乎可以完成。第一次通关期间Uplay经常难以启动,卡在诸如“initiating...synchronizing...”这样的提示状态,很影响游戏体验(传说中的吞档我还没有遇到过)。

    整体:85分,有3A大作风范的“小制作”,优点在于圣殿骑士剧情带来的新鲜感,合格的画面和配乐。缺点在于60级战列舰问题,收集品过多和糟糕的Uplay体验。

    期待更多的“Templar‘s Creed”游戏。

    This is going to be the third time I've edited my review of this game. My thoughts on it definitely change a lot.

    Let's start with the good: the gameplay is the best the Assassin's Creed series has ever seen (up to this game at least. I haven't played Unity or Syndicate at the time of this review). The ship combat is perfect, the variety of different locations you can visit is astounding (Native American villages, cities, small towns, forests, icy wastelands, tundras, etc.), and pretty much everything else involving the gameplay is great as well, except for the overload of weapons and tutorials.

    I guess Ubisoft realized that all they had to do was upgrade the engine of Black Flag (their second best gameplay style) and voila, they've done good. However, the story, a major part of the Assassin's Creed series, is definitely where the game falls flat. Rogue is supposed to effectively bridge the gap between Black Flag and Assassin's Creed III. Ubisoft definitely failed in that department. Many characters are either missing or barely in the game. Achilles and Adéwalé definitely don't get the screen time they deserve, while others like Robert Faulkner, Ziio, Thomas Hickey, Charles Lee, Benjamin Church, John Pitcairn, George Washington (a major general during the time in which this game takes place), and others have apparently gone missing. Speaking of Faulkner, where is the Aquila in this game? It's supposedly been replaced by a random ship called the Morrigan.

    There's some other flaws in the story though, such as Shay's and Liam's relationship not being fleshed out enough, some characters randomly being thrown into the story with no explanation, Haytham having no personality, Shay's distrust of the Assassins not expanded upon, etc.

    If you just want to free-roam in an Assassin's Creed game, play Rogue. If you want to experience a great story, play another game in the series.

    In line with Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag. Gives a new perspective, since you play the templar part as well. Good to revisit characters from previous games, and to havd a little more insight about their story (ex: Achilles Davenport and Haytham Kenway). Overall good fun. Moving on to AC Unity now.
