    This is one of the best title of this saga because this game take all gameplay mechanics of Assasin's Creed 3 and Black Flag and improve it.The fantastic thing about this game is that we can finally see the other side of the coin.This game is a must play for Assassin's Creed fan

    A bit unnecessary. You're not missing out on anything really if you skip this one. While providing some depth to some characters, it's story is quite mediocre, and the actual game (the setting included) is just a full on rehash of Black Flag and 3.

    I don't know why but this Assassin's creed game just feels like a filler episode. Like it was unnecessary. Overall though it's worth to pick up and play because...........it's Assassin's Creed like hello.

    An Assassin who turned Templar and through out the game it makes you question, are the Assassin's actually always right or do the Templar's make a good point on certain things.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cuando me enterĆ© que habĆ­a salido una nueva entrega de" Assassin's Creed" y que encima el protagonista era un templario no dudĆ© en jugarlo. Sin duda es una de las entregas que mĆ”s desapercibida saliĆ³, entre "Black Flag" y" Unity", que acapararon la mayorĆ­a de ventas. Y es que sin duda, me atreverĆ­a a decir que este juego tiene una narrativa superior a los dos antes dichos.
    La trama principal es bastante corta, y esto hace que sea una narrativa bien elaborada, con personajes ya conocidos antes (Haytham Kenway y Achiles Davenport), y un protagonista con carĆ”cter y personalidad. Sin duda lo mejor del juego es que nos da una visiĆ³n diferente, desde el punto de vista Templario y nos hace plantearnos a veces si los Asesinos nos son tan diferentes como los Templarios. Shay Patrick Cormac encarna el papel de Templario que abandonĆ³ la Hermandad de los Asesinos y les darĆ” caza, en una ventura ambientada en el mar del norte y sus tierras frĆ­as (En AmĆ©rica del Norte).
    Lo mĆ”s decepcionante es que el motor grĆ”fico sea el mismo que el de Black Flag (que de todas formas no es malo) y que el mapa sea tan extenso para una historia tan "breve"; en mi opiniĆ³n hay descompensaciĆ³n historia-mapa y hay bastantes zonas del mapa bastante de "relleno", a pesar de haber ubicaciones y actividades interesantes. Por otro lado, el sistema de combate, es clavado al de Black Flag, con animaciones idĆ©nticas.
    En resumen, es un juego notable y al mismo tiempo oculto dentro de una gran saga, que tiene puntos positivos pero tambiĆ©n negativos.    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a great game. The main character, Shay Patrick Cormac, is an Assassin-turned-Templar, and this leads to some unique gameplay. I say some, because other than that one change, this is just a better Black Flag.

OurAn underrated gem in this long running franchise, Assassin's Creed Rogue is sure to be one hell of a good time for new comers and old fans alike! The game continues in the present day after the events of Black Flag where new unnamned protagonist who works for Abstergo is looking into the memories of a former Irish Assassin named Shay Cormac during his time in the French and Indian War. Our unnamed protagonist then comes across a hidden memory that then corrupts servers in Abstergo, leaving the building under lockdown. But, luckily that's just the icing on this sweet and bloody cake. We now go into why we come to the Assassin's Creed games in the first place; the assassins and templar feuds in these historically important timelines. We go back to Shay Cormac who is currently working for the Brotherhood of Assassins. His story starts with him learning from the best of best practicing stealth, hunting, and shooting skills. He then goes on a few missions but goes into another that leads to unfavorable results. He attempts to retrieve an important artifact but upon touching it, it triggers a giant Earthquake around the whole city killing innocent lives in the process. He then confronts his mentors and grand mentor about this horrible event and is unfortunate to realize that they still intend to find the remaining pieces. So Shay forms and executes a plan to prevent his brothers of the creed on finding the remaining pieces by stealing and escaping with the manuscript. Not without a little parting gift. That is if you count a bullet as a parting gift, This then brands Shay as a traitor to the Creed. The game then brings you up to when Shay gets rescued and repays his saviors' kindness by getting rid of a local gang that have been harming the area, which these gangs happen to be consisting of assassins, and then begin your new life as a Templar. The game heavily borrows from the elements of Naval battles, looting ships, and upgrading your own from Black Flag but then borrows the hunting of Norther colonial animals from the Assassin's Creed 3. Which makes sense since the game takes years prior to the revolutionary war and certain characters also make a return in this game but younger then when we last saw them. The game is so addicting with the possibilities different types of assassinations, the introduction to a air sniper dart that contains different effects and even grenades that can affect more than one enemy, unlike the sniper dart gun I mentioned just now. What also sets the game apart and personally makes it to me as the best is due to the inclusion of adding the new enemies which are your former brethren, the assassins. The things you do usually in the previous games, they do to. Air assassinations? Check. Hide in plain sight? Check. Hide in special areas to keep them conceived? Check. And when you get stabbed, it does a tremendous amount of damage. You also have to deal with those who love smoke bombs like you too. Of course, they are also difficult to catch due to the insane parkour skills like yours too. Plus, taking down gang leaders are the hardest for they may contain all of those qualities and then some. It isn't for those who just want to perform easy stealth kills. The good news is that your eagle vision acts as a compass to help point out where potential stalkers, the assassins that hide, lurk. Plus you also have creepy heavy breathing that gets louder as you get closer to a stalker. So thank god you can rely on those and counter would be stabbings. The game also adds more with very cold areas involving icebergs, freezing water that can actually make you freeze to death by taking bits of health away, and other goodies. You can also craft upgrades for yourself in terms of carrying more ammo, health upgrades, and more with the help of a combination of animal skins you have with you from kills or when you go to a general store. You can also craft and buy certain outfits or earn others from doing certain special missions. The game i fueled with content, great and memorable characters, and a new look into what the other side is like. It's like looking into the perspective of the Sith from Star Wars except Shay is intact while Vader is uh. Not so much in more ways than one. The game is definitely an underrated gem that actually makes you question why something like this, that is so polished, more historically accurate, and has great dialogue, got pushed to the 7th gen systems and a mess like Assassin's Creed Unity got the green light to be released.… Expand

    AC Rogue (Puh... glaub ich hab es richtig geschreiben :-)) ist nicht das beste AC, aber dennoch eines der besten. Warum??? Keine Ahnung... Vll weil man mal einen Templer spielen darf? Vll weil es sich der Spielmechaniken von AC4 bedient? Vll weil AC Unity paralell dazu rauskam und ich das Kampsystem von besagtem einfach scheiƟe finde?!

Other problems are that the controls are still (after 7 main games in the series!) not very good, and the stealth mechanics are absolutely horrendous. Add that to the repetitiveness that this series is known for, and you have a game that should only be played if Assassin's Creed is your absolute favourite game series ever. Otherwise just play Assassin's Creed 1 and the Assassin's Creed II Trilogy and don't play the rest because you have seen it all by then (the only thing you will miss is the awesome ship combat)… Expand

    While Unity was making a mess of things on the Xbox One and PS4, 2014's other Assassin's Creed game "Rogue" was delivering a highly enjoyable, yet very familiar AC experience on last gen. To be honest it's so familiar that it is best described as AC 4.5. It's basically the same experience as Black Flag, only with tons of new additions.

To be honest it's so familiar that it is best described as AC 4.5. It's basically the same experience as Black Flag, only with tons of new additions. It almost comes off as a big expansion pack for that game. Even the modern day sections have you returning to Abstergo Entertainment, hacking computers in first-person.

    While that would normally make me more critical of a game, Rogue is so darn enjoyable and excellent that I was able to overlook the familiarity and enjoy every aspect of it. To be honest it stands as one of my new favorite AC games.

    The story is where it really takes off. Acting as a prequel to AC 3, we get to watch the fall of the Assassin's. We run into some familiar faces from past games and it really does a great job of adding some extra depth the AC 3's plot. That's not the real strength of the story though. What makes Rogue's story so awesome is that we finally get to see the Assassin/Templar conflict from the other side. That's right, we're playing as Templars this time. The game does an excellent job of portraying that the Assassin's might not be the saints previous games have made them out to be, and that the Templars aren't so evil. This new angle makes the series as a whole much more compelling. It also helps that main character Shay and the rest of the characters are so fantastic and well-written. Watching Shay struggle with having to go against the people he once called brothers, while choosing the path he feels is right is compelling and deep.

    As for the modern day plot, it doesn't really do much to move things forward. It's cool to be back in Abstergo Entertainment, but all that's really happening is that you are trying to push Shay's plot further in the Animus. We get some more hacking bits, expanded bits of lore, and some cool new characters, but nothing really revolutionary is going on here. In the end though it didn't matter too much to me as I really enjoyed the gameplay parts of these sections.

    As far as the gameplay goes in Rogue, it is largely the same as AC 4. That means we get more excellent sailing with the traditional AC gameplay. Rogue just expands upon it and adds in it's own unique ideas. You get new toys to play with, a healthy amount of new side objectives and distractions to undertake, as well as some new twists brought on by the fact that you are playing on the side of the Templars this time around. Switching sides puts a target on your back, and when wandering the world former assassin's will try and take you out. It's interesting to become the hunted for once and Rogue gives you plenty of means to protect yourself from another's hidden blade.

    The series multiplayer mode which has made an appearance in every AC game since Brotherhood doesn't make a return here. That might disappoint those who were wishing for some extra added life upon completing everything to do on the single-player side of things, but I was surprised to find that it wasn't really missed.

    So maybe it doesn't revolutionize the series in any way. However I'm willing to overlook that thanks to the strong storytelling and excellent gameplay. Some minor technical issues and light platforming bugs aside, this is an all around excellently made AC game. One that kept me hooked and highly entertained all the way through. It's got enough unique ideas to make it a little bit more than just AC 4.5 and after the dud that was Unity it was nice getting another polished and highly satisfying entry in the series, despite the familiarity.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is definitely an interesting addition to the Assassin's Creed Franchise. Although I won't spoil much the story for Assassin's Creed Rogue is the most interesting the series has ever had. Seeing the world from the Templar's point of view was more exciting and definitely made me think about everything we do in the previous games. The Gameplay was damn solid too. It was all the fluidity of Black Flag but with so much more. In Black Flag there were limitations to where you could go and what you could do at certain times. After the tutorial in Rogue you can go anywhere and do anything at any time. It felt natural and made the gameplay much less dull and repetitive than say Revelations or 3. Although both were really good games they did get boring really fast. Because of that the truly open world feel of rogue is a marvel. I almost think that this game is the reason unity was as bad as it was. Ubisoft wanted to leave the current gen consoles with a bang even if it meant sacrificing the first title for the next generation.… Expand
