This game shows franchise fatigue better than most. This released the same day as Unity to give 360 and PS3 owners their own AC game. The biggest problem with that is that it excluded anyone who bought the new systems from playing this game, since they weren't backwards compatible at the time. Normally this wouldn't matter much but Rogue is the better game, so people with the better systems actually got a worse experience. By the time this remaster came out, the Xbox One was backwards compatible with 360 games and Rogue was on that list, which makes it feel redundant.

The game itself is still very fun. The story is better than Unity by far and Shay is one of my favorite protagonists in the series. Otherwise it's very similar to Black Flag.
