Assassin’s Creed Rogue
Best: Shay Cormac And His Story: Assassin’s Creed Rogue can sometimes feel a lot like a reskin of Black Flag, and that’s because from a tech standpoint…it kind of is. But its main character, Shay Cormac, is so interesting, and his storyline involving Templars and Assassins is unlike anything seen in the franchise up until that point. I don’t want to spoil it, but needless to say, it has some fantastic twists that kept me hooked until the very end.
Worst: Budget Release: Rogue wasn’t considered a “big” Assassin’s Creed game upon its release. While the then-next-gen consoles got Assassin’s Creed Unity, Rogue was released only for Xbox 360 and PS3 as a way for Ubisoft to still give fans on the old machines a new game, without breaking the bank. And you can sort of feel that. A lot of this game feels recycled from Black Flag, and it has a smaller world overall. Though for some, that’s probably not a bad thing at all!
