Critic Reviews
Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a welcome addition on PC
Assassin’s Creed Rogue doesn’t bring anything new (other than IR tracking) to the PC port, nor was it designed to. Instead it brings forward the fantastic ideas of Black Flag with a solid veneer that’ll run on practically any hardware. Come for the decent graphical bump and rock solid 60+ framerate, but stay for the naval gameplay we all fell in love with.
85%Black Flag II – Assassin's Creed Rogue review
Assassin's Creed Rogue doesn't do anything particularly innovative or different, but it builds on the fantastic ideas Black Flag brought to the table and adds a bit of its own flair. It's a shame it's been relegated to last-gen hardware though--here's hoping it'll get a chance to stretch out its legs.

Assassin's Creed Rogue is really meant for the fans of the series who are invested in the Assassin’s Creed universe. The game knows this and wears it on its sleeve. If you weren't a fan of Black Flag, there unfortunately isn't much here to help change your mind. Newcomers are better off coming back to Rogue once they've caught up on the story so far, as it expects you to know certain characters and plotlines going into it. The game may use one too many assets from the previous title and its lack of online features put the product's longevity into question, but that doesn't take away from the fun of naval combat or fighting the deadly Assassins. Assassin's Creed Rogue isn't the cash grab many assumed it would be, and ultimately is an enjoyable experience and fitting end to the Kenway trilogy.
