    It is something Ubisoft needs to learn about its games on a very fundamental level: when the company isn't sanitising its narratives and characters to target a Call of Duty-sized blockbuster, it makes better games.

    So far I have to say that Assassin’s Creed: Rogue is a lot of fun. It’s not really hugely new or innovative. Frankly it feels like Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag all over again. However, Black Flag was an OK game so that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

    The frame-rate isn't great and apparently the camera wants to kill you, but otherwise this is a great send-off for the Assassin's Creed franchise on the last-gen consoles. The environments are varied and your role as a templar is interesting. Definitely recommended.

    Being more of an epilogue than a sequel, Rogue falls short of delivering a full-fat experience.

    An interesting story means Rogue is essential for fans of Creed lore, but it rests on its laurels by using Black Flag's naval combat wholesale, just in a chilier setting. [Jan 2015, p.87]

    Assassin's Creed: Rogue is not just a shameless commercial operation. Yes, it uses the same assets of last year and yes, it really brings nothing new. But the plot has been able to reveal some nice surprises, magnifying the lore of this famous saga in a way that we could've never imagined.

    While walking in the shoes of a Templar sounds promising, Assassin's Creed Rogue's dull story, uninspired characters, and largely recycled visuals offer little the franchise hasn't already done better.

    Shay is awesome, the game is awesome and harder and more challenging to play. Also it does not require that you are really into the AssassinsShay is awesome, the game is awesome and harder and more challenging to play. Also it does not require that you are really into the Assassins Creed games, you can try this one out with very little time invested into learning the story and if you like this game you can go back to playing the others. It has the advantage of telling a story from the templar's perspective. The female charachers are awesome, the stalkers in the game too. It has everything that I want from a single player game. Fun collectibles, nice mission, good story, great setting and most of all, it is a new while being a refined and good oldie goldie. Expand

    AC:Rogue took everything what was good in Black Flag and transformed it into pure perfection.
    Main protagonist´s story is just breathtaking.
    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 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

Not sure what the critics are saying but, here is what you need to know. Rogue is exactly what it needs to be. It wraps up the story of the entire Kenway family. Shay is a bad ass!!! Hopefully Ubisoft creates 3 divisions now. Assassins,Templars and pirates. Expand

A much improved reboot of Black Flag, with a few new weapons and more interesting fictional and historical characters.
    The Storyline gives you some background info on the main protagonist, Shay Cormac, and this leads you into a gripping story that is... not very long to be honest. I was disappointed with the length of the story, although the 3 maps combined seem bigger than black flag, there's still a lot of collectables and side missions, but its the story that's filled with the high quality gameplay and storytelling that makes you want more.
    The new silenced rifle was a big treat, many different ammunition types that can be used for stealthy or aggressive missions. You also get a Sword and Dagger which are used together with the same move set as Edwards dual wield swords, which looks and feels good, but its a shame they didn't give Shay his own move set and animations.
    Most stuff is still here from black flag, but with different settings for each of the 3 areas that makes changing locations refreshing and less of an eye sore when travelling long distances on land or sea. Naval missions are also back with increased difficulty and a large set of upgrades including a fair amount of new, and old weaponry and defences.
    Overall its a game worth playing, but the story is cut short and Shay sometimes feels like Edwards clone when it comes to running, jumping, fighting and other repetitive animations.
    Storyline: 8/10 (The most gripping but lacks length)
    Graphics: 8/10 (On par with Black Flag so nothing too special, but new locations look nice)
    Gameplay 7.5/10 (brilliant new weaponry and naval upgrades but copied character animations doesn't make it feel new)
