The Rebel Collection offers a fantastic adaptation of classic Assassin's Creed games, particularly Black Flag, with engaging open-world exploration and enjoyable ship combat.
The sea shanties and period music create an immersive experience that enhances gameplay, making it a joy to sail around and listen to the vast library of songs.
The graphics and performance on the Switch are impressive, especially in handheld mode, making it one of the best-looking games on the platform.

Assassin's Creed Rogue is not included on the cartridge and requires a download, which can be frustrating for players without reliable internet access.
Some players have reported clunky controls and unresponsive gameplay, detracting from the overall experience, especially during free-running and combat.
The game can feel repetitive over time, and the storyline lacks depth, leading to a less engaging experience compared to other open-world titles.

The gameplay combines traditional Assassin's Creed mechanics with ship combat, resulting in an engaging experience enhanced by impressive graphics and historical elements. While many players appreciate the seamless improvements over previous versions, some find the mechanics become repetitive and dull after extended playtime. Overall, it offers hours of enjoyable gameplay, particularly for fans of the series.
- “Traditional AC gameplay mixed with ship combat makes for a great combo.”
- “Don't get me wrong, the stories are excellent, but the gameplay is what I expect from an Assassin's Creed game built from what was learned from Assassin's Creed 3, and it is an excellent addition to your Switch library.”
- “The graphics are impressive and the gameplay is engaging.”
- “I find the game mechanics fairly dull after 10-20 hours in; by the time you finish the first game, the second seems dull.”

- “I find myself singing these songs as if they were on the radio.”

- “The optimization is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even during intense action sequences.”
- “I appreciate how well the game runs on lower-end hardware, making it accessible to a wider audience without sacrificing quality.”
