    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O fato de representar os assassinos como "vilões" e os templários como "hérois" é muito interessante e mostra que nem todos são completamenrte ruins e completamente bons. A história é incrível, jogo é curto e não é arrastado, mapa é absurdamente grande e lindo. Esse jogo é o mais subestimado de Assassin's Creed da geração de PS3 e Xbox 360 Expand

    The final Assassin's Creed game, which didn't rely on arbitrary leveling requirements and gear levels. All that affected gameplay was genuine, unadulterated skill and the tools at your disposal. You were the final game, which stood against what mars and besmirches the Assassin's Creed franchise today, Godspeed.

    Not the best AC game, but still solid. If you liked AC III and Black Flag, you will love Rogue, because it's a mix between those two. Overall rating: 8.2.

    é uma reciclagem de assassin's creed black flag, isso é inegavel, porém a dublagem e a história compensam essa reciclagem, por isso a nota 8, pois esse jogo NÃO é mediocre

    Best AC game for me. Yes, it looks a lot like AC4. But he's a great character like Shay Cormac. It's a beautiful story written contrary to the usual. Epic scenes. Great character development. In AC4, he removed everything that was bad and added good features. Of course AC4 is an excellent game but I prefer Rogue.

    AC:Rogue took everything what was good in Black Flag and transformed it into pure perfection.
    Main protagonist´s story is just breathtaking. This game learned me that sometimes is good to doubt what you believe in. Almost all missions are extremely interesting and filled with fighting or stealth action.
    Combat system is good old hit system, not some "damage numbers" and etc. However

    Combat system is good old hit system, not some "damage numbers" and etc. However there is not much guns and swords to buy in shop. I was in gun shop in second hour of my walktrough and i finished game with gear i had since this. Ship upgrades force you to raid French ships and loot camps which is fine.
    After long time this was first game, where i tried to do 100% completion. I´ve collected almost everything what was possible in this game.

    Another fantastic thing in this game is soundtrack... themes and shanties... ever sound was please for my ears.

    I was kinda dissapointed with Assassin assaults. They are just waiting in the bush everytime or haystack. Its too simple. They could at least do some coordinate attacks or something. It wasnt challenging to beat them.
    When i finished game, i completed only 17 missions in naval campaign. Its shame that it took so long, but i want to move to another game so im not going to wait there only to complete it.

    So in the end. Its a best AC game i have played by far (only gameplay, not story - it cant compete with Ezio trilogy) and it was refreshing to play for the opposite side.
    Well deserved 10/10

    What is bad things of ACIV:BF? Scenario, few characters, and the main missions. Rogue is fixing 2 of them. Scenario and main missions. Rogue is copy of ACIV:BF with everything. Combat system, parkour system, character development options, main menu.

    But main missions are great. We are going to Lisbon, Paris, New York, North Atlantic. And they are not copy of other ones. Scenario is great, after Haytham Kenway, Ubisoft successfully drew a thin line between Assassins and Templars with Shay Patrick Cormac. Edward is an unsuccessful character, but Shay is great.

    Also this game connecting III, IV:BF and Unity each other.

    If Ubisoft change some more things from ACIV:BF for Rogue, my point will be 9/10 just like my point of ACII.

    It's amazing that all these years I was under the impression that this game was just a Ubisoft 'money-grab' made to get some money from last-gen console owners while working on their 'big-time' next-gen game that became Unity. I picked this game up for $5, wanting to check out the game that said you could finally play as a Templar. Boy am I ever glad I did. This game is brilliant. AsIt's amazing that all these years I was under the impression that this game was just a Ubisoft 'money-grab' made to get some money from last-gen console owners while working on their 'big-time' next-gen game that became Unity. I picked this game up for $5, wanting to check out the game that said you could finally play as a Templar. Boy am I ever glad I did. This game is brilliant. As another review said, without the huge pressures of having to be Ubisoft's money ticket for the year, this game was allowed to flourish all around, from a brilliantly crafted story to improving some game features to picking out the past features from all the previous AC games that came before.

    The main character, Shay, is a well-rounded character that I could not get enough of. He was conflicted and had character flaws that allowed him to grow into the man he becomes that can be depended upon by Grand Master Kenway. I had read in some other review before picking this game up that Shay's motivations for changing sides were shallow or didn't make too much sense but I disagree, we started as an assassin getting to know some of Shay's allies and how they treated him, and were sent on missions that made him start to question his allegiance and what the assassins were really working at, into the mission that pushed him past the breaking point and pushed him right into templar arms that weren't as evil as the assassins always led us to believe. In fact, we finally got to see the other side as people too, people who were also trying to make the world a better place. It was so refreshing. I only wish the story could have been longer, there were only six memory sequences but what we did get was very compelling and fulfilling and the ending was brilliantly satisfying.

    Rogue picked the best stuff from each game and improved upon it. The ship combat from Black Flag, the item collecting (Rogue's war letters, cave paintings, templar maps, etc) from Black Flag and III, open combat from Black Flag and sneaking combat from III, and the rooftop usage from the Ezio trilogy. The Assassin interceptions were my favorite side mission, instead of getting letters from pigeons that tell you targets that you need to assassinate; templars or their allies, instead you're reading said letter but trying to protect the target and having to assassinate the assassins before they can kill their target. I shot a man out of mid-air, poised to assassinate the target! It's brilliantly done and I wish there had been more than 12!

    I played Unity after this and whoa you could tell the difference. Rogue far surpassed Unity in just about every way. Rogue's Versailles mission looked so much better and was better crafted than it was in Unity. Charles Dorian and Ben Franklin (honestly couldn't even tell Ben was Ben rather than some random NPC thrown into the scene) both looked a thousand times better animated in Rogue than Unity.

    Play Assassin's Creed Rogue. You won't regret it.

I found out that I'm really a Templar at heart. Sorry Ezio. The graphics are a let down compared to the newer generation, but very acceptable.

    The game play is smooth, and I want to belief that the combat is actually smoother this time around, where the other last two games; Unity and Black Flag. I felt very frustrated with the combat of those two other games most of the time. Maybe Shay, the hero of Rogue, is just the better overall fighter. The minigames of sending your "fleet" out in the campaigns of the British French War of t he 1750s is weak. After I finished the game I had no desire to get 100% on anything. And I don't know why, but I just have no desire to look for buried treasure.

    The main goal of getting Shay strong enough, and his ship, the Morrigan, sea-worthy enough to withstand battle, took a lot longer than I thought because you have so many place to visit to find the blue prints, resources, or animal parts, for these upgrades. I haven't had much time for video games anymore, so the game took me about two and a half months to finish the main story. Still, I did enjoy the game very much.

    Shay Patrick Cormac might not be as dashing as Edward Kenway, but still manages to sway us with his Irish charm. His exile from the Creed is a baffling and confronting affair which makes his admission into the Templar Order somehow justifiable.

    Playing from the Templar's perspective interestingly casts a shadow of doubt on the 'purity' of the Assassin's cause. It is this narrative aspect that solidifies the concept of there being no good or evil, but two opposing beliefs in constant conflict.

    Narrative concerns aside, the length of the storyline is a fairly controversial matter considering there are only 7 sequences. It's this fact that prevents the game from getting a 10 out of 10.

Not that the game itself didn't have marketing for it's release, but the fact that this game was released side-by-side with the PS4 Unity is extremely remarkable development time for Ubisoft, especially considering how Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a fully functioning game from it.

    Anyway, This is indeed
    This was a off the radar kind of sendoff for the AC series from the PS3 consoles. Not that the game itself didn't have marketing for it's release, but the fact that this game was released side-by-side with the PS4 Unity is extremely remarkable development time for Ubisoft, especially considering how Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a fully functioning game from it.

    Anyway, This is indeed going to be the final game within the AC lore on the PS3 port, and most people will ask if it's worth it? And I'll say, kinda, but what you'll get out of this game you'll probably make a lot of callbacks to Black Flag, which you know is a game that I humbly enjoy primarily with the ship combat, which is also apparent in Rogue. So consider this 'Black Flag 2', but what with all the extra stuff that this game adds to keep the game refreshing should be noted, so noted that I couldn't give it a lower score from Black Flag. Some variations of ship combat that have changed is that the Chain Shot has been replaced with the Fire Cannon, which is invariably more powerful than the Chain Shot. Normal Cannons for the boarding battles have been replaced with Puckle Guns, not only firing faster and having more ammo, but usually help to brake the eventual monotomy of boarding enemy ships. One big improvement of the ship combat is the increased usefulness of the ram and the dynamic of the fleet, which is now an offline or online resource rather than forced-online in Black Flag, but in terms of the ram, the charge ability is now much easier to gain apart from defeating a Legendary ship, and you can also use it to brake ice caps around sea level, which is also another thing about Ship combat. More dynamics of mother nature have been added, icebergs and freezing water can either be used to your benefit or your detriment, to sink enemy ships or crash your own. Wind currents are drastically increased, and apart from the lack of huge waves within the carribean, the North Atlantic is just as if not more dangerous than the Gulf Coast and Carribean of Piracy. Now, because this game is set in 1753 after the golden age of piracy, you yourself are not a rogue pirate and thus will cause a lot of momentum during the 7 years war against British and French, and as the title of the game suggests, you switch sides. But honestly at this point, the Templar Vs Assassin's story has gone on so long that I think they are both repugnant authoritarians with different means but the same ends of controlling humanity anyway. As for the protagonist, While they try their best to flesh out Shay Cormac, he does become less individualized throughout the segment, as I joked that he was "Ex-Assassin Templar British Irish Scottish French Viking Pirate Cowboy Cormac", considering the many callbacks to Black Flag as well as the variety of customization items, which is duly noted. Also Shay's face model reminds me of the generic face models of quite a few of the British Officers from Black Flag, weirdly enough when he starts to show 'age'. As with Black Flag you immediately follow up the silent, insignificant protagonist working at Abstergo, albeit somewhat under distress and now being praddled around like a retard by a unlikable Violet (more like Violent) who can't stop calling you "Numskull", the hacking system simplified to a orb like thing with rings which are usually more tedious than difficult. As with Black Flag, these are the weaker parts of the game, as you just want to jump back into the simulation as most would. As for Plot, while it is nice to see some perspective that the Assassin's aren't always right in their good intentions, i can't help but wonder if this is confirmation bias for the Templars to 'influence' the silent protagonist on THEIR side, when they can easily manipulate the DNA they've extracted from Desmond Miles. But as for anything within the context of the game, it's more of the 'we need to find some superficial artifact thingy that does something because reasons' just like with Black Flag and just like with every AC game thus far, which makes me wonder how the Unity story will breach this in someway, unless they'll STILL use the stupid silent protagonist bullocks anyway? finally, unto just miscellaneous items. Most of the sea shanties from Black Flag has returned, including a bunch of new ones, a 'grenade launcher' made by Benjamin Franklin which is really fun to use, and Firecracker Darts that can add a new element to the stealth segments of the game, which are still too exploitative. And the general combat is still exploitative as well, as long as you have stealth bombs you will ALWAYS be able to win any kind of fight EVEN if you are surrounded, and the combat isn't any more refreshing as mash square until you need to press circle or occasionally x.

    So to conclude, while this game does realize that it doesn't need to reinvent the wheel, this game does feel like a sequel to black flag in almost every regard. But that's not a problem for me.

    The biggest disappointment for me was that although you play as a Templar, it has almost no influence on gameplay. The historical backdrop is not exciting at all and it’s pretty obvious that the whole game was designed so that the assets from Assassin’s Creed III and IV could be reused. The whole naval module borrowed from Black Flag is still fantastic, but after having played 7 games of the series I need something better than just more of the same. [01/2015, p.46]

    Adventures of Cormack and the different point of view of an old conflict are the only positives of Assassin's Creed Rogue. Everything else is already well-known.
