It’s cold and miserable, and that is a nice visual metaphor for the plot, which takes the series in a darker (than usual) direction. Rogue stars Shay Patrick Cormac, a broodingly handsome Irish man (God those Irish accents are something spectacular), that finds himself in the northern part of the east coast of America. And now it’s on a whole different level, having been remastered to take advantage of the technical strengths of the PlayStation 4.Īssassin’s Creed Rogue is the third and final instalment in the “Americas” trilogy that started with Assassin’s Creed 3, continued with the pirate-themed Black Flag, and concludes with this one (yes, there was also the excellent Assassin’s Creed Liberation starring Aveline, but it’s held as a separate game to this “core” trilogy). ![]() ![]() It’s better than almost everything the Assassin’s Creed franchise have ever thrown up. The thing is, though, it’s a far, far better game than Unity ever was. Released at the same time, but exclusively for legacy systems (PS3 and Xbox 360), it was Ubisoft’s B-team production, giving people who hadn’t yet upgraded their consoles something to play that year, since they were “missing out” on Unity. While everyone was busy laughing at that game, I was busy playing Assassin’s Creed Rogue. ![]() It wasn’t a great game in terms of storytelling and design, and that was bad enough, but worse, it was plagued by some of the most amusing (but completely immersion breaking) bugs that we’ve ever seen in a blockbuster yet. Well, as it turned out, people laughed at that first attempt Assassin’s Creed Unity.
