The same “see things from the other side” philosophy translates to sections outside the animus. As I said before, my time with the game has been limited. This is actually pretty cool, and serves as a first for the Assassin’s Creed series, though I heard that everything ends up being wrapped up nicely in an Assassin package at the end, so it’s possible that the gutsy story goes back on itself after a while. The main character is Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin who goes rogue… see what they did there? He betrays the Assassins and becomes a Templar, allowing you to see the game from the antagonist’s point of view. Simply put, if you liked Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, you’ll like Assassin’s Creed: Rogue.Īssassin’s Creed: Rogue throws a curveball your way in terms of its story. You still feel like a pirate on the high seas along with being a ruthless Assassin, and you still have a bunch of shipmates to keep you company as you travel an expansive world. A lot of the scenarios that you will be placed in will feel familiar, and if you liked Black Flag you’ll hop into this game easily with very little learning time.

It has a lot of similar mechanics, right down to building your ship and crew. This is Assassin’s Creed: Rogue’s biggest strength. It takes place a short time afterward and features characters and locations we have seen before, as well as a whole host of new ones. But, oddly enough that’s not the “sequel” to Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.

Up until a few months ago, everyone was going crazy about Assassin’s Creed: Unity, the next-generation Assassin’s Creed which would take place during the French Revolution. That being said, Assassin’s Creed: Rogue is one of these games.
