    Coming from a PC Gamer who "didn't" want to play Unity, this game does well visually and game play wise with the downside it can get a bit choppy in frame rate. The story is great and with the change from an Assassin to a Templar the game play and approach to combat is much different, there are city outposts to capture much like AC: Brotherhood, and forts to capture like in AC: Black Flag.Coming from a PC Gamer who "didn't" want to play Unity, this game does well visually and game play wise with the downside it can get a bit choppy in frame rate.

    This game is really a story continuation. At first I was in doubt of buying it in pre order But I'm really satisfied with the product. It recalls me AC3 it really tells the story of Aklies. I've not finished it yet but so far so good. I Love AC :*

    Shay is awesome, the game is awesome and harder and more challenging to play.

    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.

    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    AC:Rogue took everything what was good in Black Flag and transformed it into pure perfection.

    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.

    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.

You'll usually find new Locations, a few new weapons (in this case a silent Air Rifle that can also launch grenades,) and maybe some new game mechanics. That's about what you should expect.
    I enjoyed this game almost as much as Black Flag & noticed a difference in the way the waters of the Northern Atlantic and Hudson River Valley sailed compared to the Southern waters of Black Flag.
    The story is mostly interesting and does a good job of filling in the gaps in the time-line between the events of Black Flag and AC3.
    I encountered no bugs during my playtime & I went pretty much everywhere and did pretty much everything the game had to offer.

    The graphics are pushed to the absolute max on last gen consoles and the game looks great for the old hardware.

    They new settings in the river valley and north Atlantic are a beautiful and welcome edition to the series while New York is far better presented and more fun to explore than it was in AC3.

    The modern day story was less interesting but decent it operates similar to the AC4 modern story except this time you play a repair man and you come into contact with a high profile member of the Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order.

    Overall I highly recommended this game to any fan of the series    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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]
