Sigo con AC. En esta ocasión lo vemos desde la perspectiva de un templario y a gusto personal sube el nivel respecto a Black Flag. Su protagonista sí que me ha gustado.
El gameplay sigue siendo igual.

I never played this game when it first released, because I was younger and I just couldn't fathom how Ubisoft could release an Assassin's Creed game about a Templar. Oh, the humanity!
I came to learn that Rogue is basically Black Flag, but even more up my alley in terms of historical tourism. Black Flag takes place in the sunny, tropical Caribbean. You are playing as Edward Kenway, a boy who thinks he is a man and learns what it means to be a man over the course of the story. Assassin's Creed Rogue juxtaposes Shay Cormac (the protag) and Edward Kenway in more ways than the color of their robes.
Shay's inner conflict that drives him away from the Assassins stems from a mission in which he inadvertently causes the great earthquake of Lisbon in 1755. Shay, feeling awful for doing the bidding of the smarmy and secretive Assassins becomes disillusioned and winds up as a Templar.
I will say, I find Shay to be a bit whiny but he is also more mature than Edward. Shay already has a moral compass. Shay already knows what he thinks is right and wrong, and through this conviction he becomes the most dangerous Templar to ever live. He is an Assassin killer, through and through.
To return to the setting, Rogue takes place mostly in North America and the river systems, bays and inlets of New England. Shay will also take his ship, the Morrigan, out into Canada and up around Greenland. I have never seen an environment like this before in a video game and it just works so well for me, a fan of American history and frontiersmanship.
Rogue is definitely more than a "re-skinned" Black Flag - but also, it doesn't have to be. Trade your unbuttoned blouses and headbands for a heavy winter coat and whaling cap as you and Shay meticulously slaughter the American Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins and set up the stories of Assassin's Creed 3 and Assassin's Creed Unity.

My review of Black Flag for more substance: https://www.backloggd.com/u/onlinealot/review/217227/
I used to think this game was underrated, but it's honestly pretty shit. Packed to the brim with generic dialogue and an undeveloped plot. At the time, it was interesting to explore this world solely as a Templar, but this affect has worn off on replay. After replaying, it feels so unfinished, rushed and overall completely devoid of life. I cannot remember how many times Shay had to say "I make my own luck." Bravo, Ubisoft... such a unique character trait that I have never seen before, and now you're milking it to the max. Very uninteresting character in the end, and the present day story isn't any better and honestly really cringe. Can't stand any of the present day characters and it feels very generically "haha the truth will out" BS; so, did not enjoy that at all.
I don't know what's up with AC games after Black Flag using the same engine but not allowing you to sprint properly, but it's very annoying. Definitely feels like a poor man's Black Flag, something that should have been a DLC, but not sure what to. In that respect, it would have been a pretty decent DLC.
Not sure where this "under appreciated" status came from; I assume mostly from people who played this once years ago and haven't really come back to it, but it is so undeserved. This game is perfectly rated in the series and understandably is not talked about because of how painfully mediocre it really is.

Apenas habrá mejorado respecto al III y Black Flag; casi parece un copia y pega, pero por lo menos no hila mal con el siguiente juego y cubre incógnitas de los susodichos.
For me, the best of the Americas Assassins Creed Saga. I prefer the North Atlantic setting to the Caribbean and the quality of life improvements create a much smoother experience.
It’s short, but allows a much tighter and more focused story. It’s really good despite being bound by the events of four other games.

eu só queria mais protagonistas templários, o único que temos é um dos meus favoritos, a história dele é bem dahora e eu curto muito as motivações dele, acho que foi até bom o jogo ser curto que deu pra contar bem o que queria com o Shay, mas tirando o protagonista o resto é tudo bem ok, o mapa não é tão enorme quanto no Black Flag mas ainda tem um pouquinho de charme nas partes de gelo e tipo eu não curti tanto as batalhas navais e pilotar o navio nesse jogo, não sei se tem alguma canção nova no navio mas todas as que eu escutei tinham no Black Flag e o jogo é pequeno mas não deu vontade nenhuma de continuar jogando após a história, deu uma enjoada forte, talvez um dia eu volte pra explorar as ilhas que eu não fui

Good game but the main man was a rebel
mais ac black flag porém com uma história nn tão legal, mas eu gostei que o final desse jogo encaixa com o começo do Unity
Wanted to give Rogue another shot, as I only rushed through the story in the original version. I do remember why now. it is a very short story, and it is minuscule compared to the amount of side content in this game. it is not too bad of a story, really, and the ending is still cool/was half mind blowing having played Unity first.
the problem is this game just doesn't feel as fun to play, for some reason. you could make the case that the naval combat is better than in black flag but for some reason I just didn't want to do it. none of the side content feels good to play really. perhaps its just the sentiment that this would have made a great DLC if they had not bloated it with side content to make it a full game release. I think the parkour might be the worst in the series, as far as going where you want/should/expect to go. it almost feels as if they dumbed down the parkour to make the game "longer"-- which doesn't make any sense, but that's a thought I had while playing..
all that being said, halfway through the story and having done my usual AC quantity of side content by that point, I was thinking that I would just plow through the rest of the story and be done with it...but little did I know I would end up doing a lot of the side content..and not totally hating it.. part of it comes from the achievement hunter part of me (which I am trying to stamp out) and the other was just wanting to get the Morrigan upgraded, cause it looks fuckin awesome when its fully upgraded and with the templar sails.
Other positives:
- the treasure maps are more accurate than black flag; the coordinates take you directly to the dig site, not just the location on the map, where you then have to find the picture on the map. so that was nice.
- got some real good outfits, James Gunn being my favorite.
- James Cook and Hope favorite characters.
- Penguins.
And with that, the proverbial, dumb, self-imposed weight of my assassins creed backlog is off my proverbial shoulders. No longer will I look upon my backlog and see remnants of an assassins creed fire sale, full of games I’ve played before. No longer will I see an Assman creed game releasing and say no I cannot purchase you, for I still have assman creed games in my backlog. I have played all the assman creeds prior to Valhalla, and if they were released twice, I’ve played them twice (and how). But those days are over, all the old titles are now laid to rest. I now have only Valhalla and Mirage on the horizon. Though they may be fended off by my overall backlog, it will no longer be assman on assman crime.

top, um dia finalizo
Certainly a good game, I enjoyed playing it
Un jeu de transition pour Unity. Le jeu garde les bonnes formules des anciens AC sans y ajouter quelque chose de plus excepté le fait de jouer un templier. ON l'oublie aussi vite qu'on y a joué mais ça reste un bon jeu
Excellent first impression, fun story, plays better than anything up to this point. The outside the animus stuff is somehow better post Desmond. World feels too big and full of checklists that makes me feel like I’m missing out when totally ignored but a little bored when engaged with. All in all not quite up to the pirate highs of Black Flag, but still very good.
7.7/10
A less interesting Black Flag. If Shay wasn’t such a good character this game would’ve been a chore to get through.
When I replayed this game recently for a marathon leading up to the release of Valhalla, I actually started liking it a bit more, that has changed.
I now see what everyone was talking about, the Assassins and Templars are basically just switched around now, to give Shay more of a reason to join the Templars, like they couldn't have made his change be about some disagreements or maybe he saw that the Brotherhood wasn't truly helping people and decided to leave them so that he could be more of a help to them?
Nope, the Assassins are assholes and the Templars are nice.
Not to mention, this game has a pointless tie-in with Unity that amounts to nothing in the end.
Another thing is that the game is basically Black Flag, but boring, how do you take a game like Black Flag and make it boring?!

Great game It was really interesting flipping everything on its head and playing as the "enemy" the templars
El penúltimo de mis Assassin's Creed pendientes. Había escuchado y leído maravillas acerca de este título y, la verdad, que tampoco me ha parecido nada excepcional.
Jugablemente sigue la línea de Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, ya con las batallas navales incluídas pero con un mucho peor desarrollo del mapa, no dan ganas de explorar.
Sin duda, el punto más fuerte y distintivo es el argumental. Sin hacer spoilers, solo decir que es el único título de este estilo en toda la saga, pero no le da solo con este apartado para colarse en el top de la saga.

Vermutlich das schwächste Main Line AC Game. Die Story und die Figuren sind vegessenswürdig und der einzige Clou ist, dass man dieses Mal jemanden von der anderen Seite spielt. Das Gameplay ist wie gewohnt und hebt sich nicht sonderlich ab. Kann man immer noch ganz gut wegspielen, aber für mich klar der Tiefpunkt der Reihe.
I've been sitting on this game FOREVER and I kinda regret playing it and definitely going for the plat... 40 hours I won't get back.

Biggest missed opportunity in Assassins Creed
Assassins Creed: Rogue is a direct sequel to Black Flag and even though this is more of a spin off it sort of wraps up the Kenway saga as a whole. The in-animus story of Rogue is a sequel to black flag but a prequel to 3 but the present-day story is a sequel to black flag (I know confusing) gameplay wise it is also a sequel to black flag only building on the gameplay preset from 4. This all sounds great on paper but its honestly not that great of a game, I’ll explain
Gameplay: The gameplay plays out almost identically to black flag, the game is filled with naval combat and has 2 major Naval maps with loads of islands and river stops in Canada and northern USA and it has a big New York map similar to the one in AC3. It plays very smooth and only expands on that smoothness from Black Flag. The human combat is almost identical to Black flag with a few extra moves and instead of having a sleep dart straw you have a sleep gun/ grenade launcher. So, a lot of this game is reskinned black flag almost like a giant DLC which isn't crazy bad, it’s still fun to play.
Graphics/ Voice Acting/ Music: The graphics are only slightly better than black flag obviously this remaster improves that even more, but the voice acting isn't amazing. Some people’s voices feel like they don't fit the characters that they are and the music in this game is ok with the main theme once again being a remix of Ezio's family. We get a few new sea shanties but none that I'm too crazy about.
Story/ Some Spoilers: Honestly the story of this game is where it hurts the most so I'm going to have to spoil some stuff to explain why, if you really want to know nothing skip this part of the review.
Okay so, Rogue takes place some many years before the events of 3 we play as a young assassin who is part of the colonial brotherhood under a younger achilleas, Adewale is also in this game for some reason. The young Assassins you play as is Shay Cormack and he decides to go rogue and join the Templars when the Assassins send him on a mission to get an artifact in Spain and it causes a catastrophic earth quack that kills thousands of people. So, this is where this game gets dumb, instead of portraying a different side of the conflict this game kinda just makes the assassins evil for no reason. The Assassins use orange mercenaries that also behave like assassins sometimes and have flags all over the colonies and Canada with full strongholds for some reason and this feels ridiculous for a few reasons. One, because since when did Assassins use evil mercenaries and two, because well aren't they are supposed to be a secret organization? wouldn't it be recorded in history books if they were a huge organization with mercs everywhere and loads of people would have seen them and the flags? Also, I couldn't tell you for the life of me why this whole earth quack thing turns Shay bad and motivates him to murder his friends like Anakin Skywalker. I mean I know the reason, but it just doesn't feel compelling enough or realistic. This game is also only 6 SEQUENCES LONG, how many was the last few games like 12-14? This game is crazy short, and you'll end up beating the story and being left with a boat load of side content to do which is mostly just collecting stuff. Ultimately, they should have made this a full length game and either fleshed out Shay more or made this game about Haythem and why he's bad or hell, make it a 2 story game, 6 sequences for Haythem and 6 for Shay, This story is a hugely missed opportunity and doesn't really compel anything well about the other side of the conflict at all and why I should vote Templar and not Assassin. For the only Templar game its weak and should have had way more time put into it. The out of animus modern day story also sucks and is more cringe than the new new Saints Row reboot.
This game could have been one of the best ones and but it’s an average experience, also they released this game at the same time as Unity, if that doesn't tell you how confident Ubisoft is in this game then idk what will. The coolest part of this game is at the very end and how it connects to Unity but honestly the connection hurts unity a lot more than it helps it considering that plot thread gets dropped in that game. Anyways 6.5/10 from me.

Se esse jogo fosse maior, entraria no top 3 da saga facilmente
Curto, chato e uma reciclagem bem bosta MEEEESMO do Black Flag. Demorei 6 anos pra terminar esse ai pra ter uma ideia de quanto é enjoativo. Devo ter facilmente ter tentado finalizar umas 8 vezes dês do PS3.
Sobre a gameplay, é a única parte boa, afinal, é tudo vindo do black flag. A história tinha potencial mais pra um livro. Gostei MT não :P

Esse aqui se sustenta só pela história, que arriscou ser diferente e valeu a pena, porque a gameplay é quase idêntica a do jogo anterior. Isso é explicado pela produção conturbada, mas ainda assim, é uma reciclagem que foi salva pelo enredo bem contado.
For the most I hate this game, so let's get the good out of the way. The story is nice and brief, characters are nice and plot is kinda interesting. They also nerfed the eagle vision in a better way than Unity. Now the bad, most of this game is asset reuse from black flag, some locations are even the exact same. Even the mechanics are identical, there is close to 0 unique gameplay. The real world plot is still stupid and basically the same as 4, unity, and syndicate. The economy is garbage, I bought everything the game had to offer and still had an absurd amount of funds left by the time I finished all platinum related activities. The world in this game is all padding, most of the activities aren't fun and there is so many locations that are irrelevant. I had a better view of this game when I finished the plot but the completion grind just broke me. This is the type of game that makes you hate being a completionist.
UNDERRATED! By far the best AC not even close. Cool story, ship gameplay always good.
Good, could've been better
Capitalizing on the success of Black Flag, this game is exceedingly similar and plays more like an extra large DLC than a stand alone game. Shay is an excellent protagonist and the story makes it stand on its own feet
It's more Black Flag but with a disappointing narrative and characters. Assassin's Creed has never had the most interesting of stories, but Rogue managed to frustrate the most. The inciting event that kicks off the main plot feels very forced, and everytime the story has a chance to add nuance to the conflict between the Assassins and Templars, it squanders it. Adewale was wasted on this game.
Que jogo fod@, Shay é um protagonista muito bom tem suas motivações justas e tu sente a dor dela durante o decorrer da historia assim como o seu desenvolvimento com os templarios, dublagem sensacional, o jogo tem os seus problemas como fato do parkour n ser tão fluido porém e bem fácil de ignorar pelos pontos positivos desse jogo, as animações de morte são lindas e mecânica de navegação muito boa tbm, sei que já falaram que é uma copia do ac Black flag mas nunca joguei esse então pra mim o rogue é muito bom. Muito melhor que o unity, até parece que o AC Rogue que foi pra nova geração muito na frente do Unity, unica vantagem do unity é a fluidez do parkour e só. Raiva que o bugado do unity ofuscou esse jogo maravilhoso
