    Despite an obligatory narrative, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India is an excellent continuation of this unique spinoff and I can't wait to get my hands on the third game next month.

    Chronicles India tries to do something more than the China chapter. While still highly enjoyable, it's a little more unfocused and unpolished than the previous game.

    A good second stab for Ubisoft's latest spin-off series, India makes up for what it lacks in excitement with visual flare.

    An improvement on its predecessor, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India is a more varied game that at it’s best, is pretty damn good. But a handful of poor choices and underdeveloped ideas hold it back.

    Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India, isn't a whole lot different compared to China, which is either a good or a bad thing depending on your prior experience. It sports a slightly less interesting character and setting, but the core experience is replicated, and the addition of a few gameplay tweaks as well as the aforementioned challenge mode ensures that it's on the level.

    Not quite the diamond in the rough, India is at times sumptuous but often shallow in almost every other way.

    Assassin’s Creed couldn’t afford another step in the wrong direction, and yet, here we are again. ACC: Russia is still a few weeks away, but Climax will seriously need to re-evaluate its core systems and mechanics to give it a chance to succeed. Chronicles was a leap of faith for Ubisoft; this time there isn’t a bail of hay there to break the fall.

    The Game is perfect with 2d beautiful graphics and more tools to use in every mission
    but the most greater way to finish is to go all stealth

    The second chapter in Climax Studios' Assassin's Creed spin-off series is hands down one of the most beautiful games ever created. The lavishThe second chapter in Climax Studios' Assassin's Creed spin-off series is hands down one of the most beautiful games ever created. The lavish use of colors is a step up from the rather dull look of Chronicles' previous outing in China. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of India's gameplay as I enjoyed my time with Shao Jun much more than I did with the new protagonist Abraaz.

    India lacks China's alternative paths and therefore feels like a more constrictive experience. The cheap instant deaths can also provide frustration and lead to occasional bouts of trial and error. I appreciated the greater variety in tasks though. The escape levels that have you outracing danger and destruction have returned and are as exhilarating as ever. India will also shake things up in other ways, like putting you behind the lens of a sniper rifle and having you take out enemies from afar. The core stealth and platforming gameplay is still solid. Methodically clearing out the screen can be a blast and it feels so good when all your hard work comes together for a perfect run. The random bullcrap that sometimes gets in your way can be a pain to deal with though. The new game plus options and challenge rooms extend the game's lifespan a bit. The former allowing you to gain access to all of Abraaz's abilities.

    Those hoping the narrative would improve between the two Chronicles games are going to be let down. Much like China it's basically a whole lot of nothing. Abraaz also comes off as a lame Ezio wannabe. His romance is as uninteresting as the lifeless keep the item away from Templars plot it is contained within. There are no real characters to speak of.

    A disappointing step back for the Chronicles spin-off series India may be, but there's still enough here to be worth recommending provided you enjoyed the previous entry. The core mechanics of the Assassin's Creed series still prove to transfer over to 2.5D quite well. While less satisfying than China there are still some thrills to be found and the improvements to the art style are a sight to behold. It's almost worth playing for the pretty graphics alone.

    Good gameplay,a tougher one,more exciting but lacks creativity when reaching the ending parts.
    Music and sounds aren't bad that much.it reminds me of good old days with Prince of Persia series;of course the theme and atmosphere both are inspired by the "POP" series;we can't mean it "Lacking of creativity";songs are synced to the atmosphere of the game.
    but the story and character progression is worth being called terrible.meaningless mentor(Hamid),a lonely assassin(Arbaaz) who's the savior of an artifact throughout the game(but looks a little mentally tired from the start till the princess gets into trouble!),imaginary assassins who are just appeared in the dialogues not in action,and a princess(like most of the "POP" series) who got nothing to do with the assassin but making trouble for him.

The story is really not interesting and completion of the levels doesnt feel like an achievement. Having said that, its an ok puzzle game that covers itself with the blanket that is the name of the assassins creed franchise. It lucks character but still manages to offer interesting gameplay mechanics. Expand

    Très rapidement, on se rend compte en effet que le "level design" est complètement pété, comme une sorte de blague potache entre développeurs bourrés au gin et défoncés à la moquette, du genre "t'es pas cap" de finir mon niveau, ni celui d'avant, ni celui d'après sans recommencer 538 fois ! (au moins). Parce que t'auras mouru ou que tu te seras fait détecter par les 748 gardes qui ont bu trop de caféine.

    Bon, je l'ai fait en même temps que le Russia pour comparer -je l'ai commencé plutôt- et j'ai constaté qu'on en chie encore pire dès les premiers niveaux que le Russia justement. Alors j'ai désinstallé très sereinement cette merde indé, comme 99% des merdes indés en fait.
