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
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.

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.

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.

You can see it’s a game designed for PS3 and Xbox 360 generation. I’m not talking about graphics or gameplay. I’m talking about how the story is told.
Besides that, it’s a classic AC game. You have the third person gameplay and the ship. It’s nothing different from what you see in the other AC games.
It’s a good game but nothing special.

(Review from Jun 2020) I’m really surprised, I had to give this game a second chance cause I just wasn’t feeling it at first. I have some mixed feelings on the game as a whole, but generally I liked my time with it. The story is really rough, although there are moments that shine really well and bring the rest of the series together. The gameplay in the North Atlantic parts was amazing, I really wish that was the whole game.
Fun game but wish it was longer. Shay had potential to be one of the most interesting characters in the series but he was not given enough time to develop and everything about him leaving the Brotherhood and joining the Templars felt rushed. The combat felt great and the environments were all fairly interesting and I liked the final mission linking this to Unity. Get this on sale and you'll have a fun time.
i wont say that this game is overhated i just feel like its ignored. its the last true assassins creed imo (doesnt mean that its the last good game of the franchise, far from it). this game is a bit short, but it doesnt bother me. this game is basically a reskin of black flag, but it doesnt bother me. the only thing that bother me is for the length of the story there are too much modern day portions. other than that if you liked black flag youll probably like this game. the story is also one of the best of the franchise imo
Much of Rogue is a reskin of Black Flag, including the sailing gameplay, which is still good, but not as fun the 2nd time around. The main draw is tied to the protagonist, Shay Cormac, who finds himself alienated from the Assassins and defects to the Templar Order, becoming a ruthless Assassin hunter. This adds a new dynamic to gameplay as you can be ambushed by Assassins sent to kill Shay, or you can use your training to ambush them in turn. The story mainly serves to bridge the gap between Black Flag and III so some fun characters from both get to show up and have a last moment in the spotlight. Rather than a larger overworld like in Black Flag, the world is split into New York, the northern seas around North America and the inner Riverlands on the American coasts; the first is a traditional free-running city, and the 2nd is more akin to Black Flag's sailing, while the riverlands are an awkward blend of both - that is a fine descriptor of Rogue in general. It's without a doubt a good entry, but a bit of an awkward interstitial one.

pros: copy and paste fo black flag
cons: copy and paste of black flag
it was really cool playing as a templar and seeing their side. I liked that fact that the assassins weren't completely evil even tho they made it seem like so.
it got pretty repetitive coming from black flag but the extra things were nice
it had small changes that i liked and disliked.
i like the fact that the game was short because if it was longer it would've dragged out and got really boring because its a black flag ''copy''.
there was waaay to much side content for this small game. the game is literally 50% side content.

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.

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.
Black Flag is one of my favorite games of all time and sadly this is a weak spinoff. Its short to the detriment of the story despite a really interesting premise. The Abstergo segments are slow and plodding and don't really add anything new to the lore. The trophy list is also quite poor with several trophies just being a nonsense grind because the world is so much smaller than Black Flag that they just wont happen naturally.
In short: its just ok
In short: its just ok
Pretty good although unremarkable experience on the Rogue Collection. The ship sailing is still very boring. The arctic environments are very cool. However, more so than anything this just feels like more of the same in the worst ways possible as nothing new happens, the environments are barren in many cases, and the story is very unmemorable.
