    I purchased Assassin's Creed Chronicles on sale for $14CDN, as I'm generally speaking a (new) fan of the Assassin's Creed games. I didn't make it all that far into ACC China before just packing it in. I didn't find it fun, it's far too easy to be spotted and too difficult to run away.

    I might re-visit one of the ACC games again in the future, but I feel like I wasted $14 now.

    Poor side-scroller. Don't know what they were thinking, but I can think of no redeeming features to this unimaginative jaunt back to games of decades ago

    This is a good game, different from the original Assassin's Creed we are all used to, but that doesn't take away the good this one has. It has the side missions within your walkthrough that adds a bit more of challenge which is great. It can become a bit repetitive at some point and some combat skills I didn't got used to, but if your approach is stralth this game will be fun for you.

    Remember those mid 00's side scroller Java GSM games? Looks like now they're branded by Ubisoft and come with frustrating difficulty spikes. Cool visuals... nothing else tho.

    At the beginning I thought it would be nice, that old 2D approach but I was bored far too soon...

    This game was marketed to the wrong crowd.

    If you've ever played Mark of the Ninja, you'll like this. if you like stealth, there's an extremely compelling take on it here. The trilogy peaks at India, Russia isn't that bad, but it's the most restrictive and harshest to play. Movement and controls are impressively weighty and responsive even on the vita port (my favorite cause    This game was marketed to the wrong crowd.

    Movement and controls are impressively weighty and responsive even on the vita port (my favorite cause I'm weird like that.)

    China feels the most polished and encourages multiple playstyles/playthroughs.

    India improves the base mechanics and the first half offers some genuinely impressive level designs, it starts to feel rushed by the latter half with a lot more restrictive levels.

    The tightening of options that the latter half of the trilogy does feels like a rushed way to spike difficulty towards a 'climax' Russia does this heavily.

    That said, Russia has some genuine innovations to it with the tools offered and one or two of the levels are genuinely cool. but yeah... it doesn't go too well in the end. before you know it Russia has you literally railroading through aggressively tight and specific corridors of enemies and fighting a contextual button prompt of a boss.

    The aesthetic across all three is excellent. story is not, but I don't really care ngl.

    These games have a very special place in my heart and I deeply regret that they will forever stand as a 'mixed reviews' in the pages of gaming history.

    Between this and Mark of the Ninja, there could have been a really excellent 2.5d stealth game with semi-3d open-ended stealth levels and advanced tool combat (and maybe grab the world tendency idea from Dishonored and tie it to the playstyle system from Chronicles allowing players to play the way they want and be rewarded with more engaging challenge in later levels.).

    between the two I honestly prefer chronicles as it controls smoother.    … Expand
