Assassin's Creed: Rogue

Probably half of the story, that's what's missing. You know how in previous Assassin's Creed titles, the protagonist grows along with the story and the transition is subtle. This one is the most promising title in the series, it has everything that made the previous ones great and none of their drawbacks.

The stealth, sailing, fighting, everything is great, mission variety, even the story is great. But it's too sudden. I can see it's missing a lot. And a lot of the map will remain unexplored, at the end of the game. To see everything you really have to go out of your way to see them and it's no fun because it feels pointless. Shay's story is over why explore. Also, the story is disappointing. It has great potential and great protagonist but because it's rushed, it doesn't have the same impact. Even the ending is abrupt (I really liked the ending of Black Flag, even though we know things after that didn't go well for the Kenway family, but the game ended on a high note).

Let's talk about the present day story. A total let-down, again with great potential. Again, it's not bad but it's too short and the modern story doesn't even have a any kind of twist at the end.

It's the first game of the Assassin's Creed franchise where I completed and saw everything (100%) just because the story was so short that I've invented my own reason to explore. And still, that part was boring but the locations were way way better than anything in the previous titles.

Assassin's Creed Rogue is often overlooked, sandwiched between the release of Black Flag and Unity, but it deserves way more recognition. This game takes the classic AC naval formula and flips the script by putting you in the boots of Shay Patrick Cormac, a former Assassin turned Templar.

What makes it stand out is the unique perspective. Playing as a Templar instead of an Assassin adds a fresh twist to the series. Shay's character arc is compelling, and his motivations feel more personal and relatable than many other AC protagonists. The game also excels at storytelling, making you question both sides of the Assassin-Templar conflict.

The naval gameplay is as satisfying as ever, with ship combat and exploration feeling like an evolution of Black Flag. The icy waters and new environmental challenges add some variety. Plus, the connections to AC III and Unity make it a great piece of the franchise's overarching narrative.

On the downside, Rogue is relatively short, and a lot of its mechanics feel like a direct reskin of Black Flag. If you played that game extensively, this one might not feel as fresh. Also, since it was designed for last-gen consoles, it doesn't have the graphical polish of Unity, though the remastered version helps improve this.

Despite its flaws, Assassin's Creed Rogue is a must-play for any AC fan. If you love the naval combat of Black Flag and want a different take on the Assassin-Templar war, it's absolutely worth your time.

Probably the most interesting character with a solid story just a shame it was so short could have done with a few more sequences atleast. Scenery and general adventure of the location didn't have me so eager to complete all the side missions unlike black flag. Nevertheless still a very solid game.

This game is honestly one of the best games in the series. A close competitor of AC 2. It's so much like Black Flag and yet so much better. If it would have been a bit more longer, I would have loved it.

Not the best assassin creed game out there but the story and the charachter making is pretty decent.
