    Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is the hardest game I have ever played. Too many cheap deaths ruin the experience. The last two sequences are nearly impossible.

    This is the worst AC game EVER!! I don't want to be mean, but it is getting really old. And the story is very boring. I highly DO NOT recommend this game!

    What Kind of Adventure?

    Stealthy Platforming Adventure Was it fun? It was okay but disappointing. Are there any similar games? Its similar to the other Assassin Creed Chronicle games. Would you play it again? No, I wasn’t a big fan of this one. Any Complaints? I loved playing China but they added guns into this game and I didn’t care for that. How many hours    What Kind of Adventure?

    Après le China parfois crispant certes mais encore bien fichu, se taper le Russia et sa difficulté de psychopathe est excessivement désagréable : bien des "situations" ressemblent à des farces, à de mauvaises blagues et c'est à se demander si Climax le développeur a réellement testé son jeu avant de le distribuer.

    Je ne comprends vraiment pas ce "délire" qui leur est passé par la tête,    Après le China parfois crispant certes mais encore bien fichu, se taper le Russia et sa difficulté de psychopathe est excessivement désagréable : bien des "situations" ressemblent à des farces, à de mauvaises blagues et c'est à se demander si Climax le développeur a réellement testé son jeu avant de le distribuer.

    Je ne comprends vraiment pas ce "délire" qui leur est passé par la tête, surtout après le China difficile par endroits mais une totale promenade de santé en comparaison ! C'est dommage, car l'histoire me semble la meilleure des 3 Chroniques mais toutes ces merdes à faire (et surtout refaire et recommencer...) en temps limité ont tué tout l'intérêt du jeu : je ne suis pas masochiste à ce point !    … Expand

    Assassins Creed Chronicles Russia
    Trial and Error Garbage
    Its no secret that I’m an assassins creed fan boy, and its also no secret that am a #AssassinsCreedChroniclesHater Don’t get me wrong, this is a challenging and beautiful series, but its an awful unfun series that I hope Ubisoft never brings back. China probably my favorite, a nice tie to the ac story with the box, then we go to    Assassins Creed Chronicles Russia
    Trial and Error Garbage
    Its no secret that I’m an assassins creed fan boy, and its also no secret that am a #AssassinsCreedChroniclesHater Don’t get me wrong, this is a challenging and beautiful series, but its an awful unfun series that I hope Ubisoft never brings back.
    China probably my favorite, a nice tie to the ac story with the box, then we go to India much more color, we get a love story and a decently enjoyable campaign… but here in Russia we do go back to the story of the box and a mystery assassin that I’m not going to spoil as you’re running through this game as two characters, Nikolai and Anastasia in 1918
    But the campaign you’re given here is brutally panful and unnecessarily difficult and just completely unfun..if you want an in depth idea of the mechanics of this game go back and watch the china and india reviews.. those are the only 2 games in this series even remotely worth suffering through anyway..
    but basically this is the stealthiest campaign in the trilogy..
    Nikolai is a trained rugged russian assassin but from bullets to muy tai elbow strikes.. it doesn’t matter.. you die in one hut yet enemies are unfairly balanced to take multiple blows and not even flinch…
    you do have a rifle with you which I’m guessing is the reason its so easy for you to die.. this is the most powerful tool in the trilogy.. you also have smoke bombs and the ability to whistle… as well as a grappling thing to mess with electricity.. no helix powers though.. those belong to Anastasia who can dissolve enemies instantly as well as dash through hiding spots..
    what makes this game so painful this time around is that this 3rd game in the trilogy is essentially a collection of every bad thing in assassins creed all in one convenient package
    tons of insta fail missions where if youre spotted youre set back to a checkpoint, and even if the mission doesn’t make this a stipulation it doesn’t matter.. enemies have automatic rifles and extreme accuracy, its practically isntadeath unless you get a lucky dodge….
    worse is there are missions where youre tasked to clear a room or an entire train of enemies with again not taking one single hit or being spotted once…
    they also somehow ruined the only good thing this series had going for it..
    the runner bits.. full of action and excitement.. its turned into trial and error guess work that requires precise timing, 0 room for error, and absolutely no indication or direction on whats coming next…
    so its and endless loop of die and try again…
    I know as an assassins creed fan youre going to see the box again and just have to see the story out.. youre going to torture yourself by making you go through this painful campaign, but I have good news.. we have youtube.
    watch the story there.
    forget the like 3 trophies you get for completing this garbage
    I give Assassins Creed Chronicles Russia a 2/10    … Expand

    Equal rights equal fights. I believe this game should have added damage to male characters. Also, there should be a very special bonus damage area down below.

    An offhand effort that adds little to the series. [Issue#172, p.87]

    Chronicles ends not with a bang or a whimper, but a shrug.

    The most challenging of the Chronicles series, the most infuriating, but also the most varied and fun if you liked the past iterations. Don’t expect anything revolutionary though, pun intended.
