Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is a cool side-scrolling adventure set in a snowy Russia. You play as Nikolai Orelov, a disillusioned Assassin on his last mission. The sneaking mechanics are fun, and navigating the beautifully rendered, war-torn palaces is a challenge. However, messing up can mean instant restarts, which can get frustrating, and the story is a bit forgettable compared to the main Assassin's Creed games. Still, for a dose of snowy thrills and classic assassin action, Chronicles: Russia is worth checking out, especially if you like a challenge.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia is one of three 2.5D side scrollers, the game follows assassin Nikolai Orelov during 20th-century Soviet Russia, in the aftermath of the October Revolution of 1917. Just like Chronicles China and India the game is fun as it offers a different playstyle from the traditional Assassin Creed game. It's not a long game which definitely helps as it is fun but also get kind of boring pretty quick. I liked this game a lot less than the previous two as I would have much rather seen this era and region be a bigger open world title, the concept of an modern day Assassin's Creed has always intrigued me
