Kinda unique, you play as Shay Patrick Cormac, a former Assassin turned Templar, you explore the icy waters of the North Atlantic and North America. The game’s story is darker and more focused on the Templar side of the conflict, offering a fresh twist on the usual Assassin's Creed narrative. If you enjoyed Black Flag, Rogue is definitely worth to try.

I think this might be my third favorite Assassin's Creed game, it's a shame it wasn't given a full development cycle, it provides a unique experience that many wanted to have after the Haytham section in Assassin's Creed III. Coming from the perspective of an Assassin turned Templar was always a narrative I wanted to see, and I think that it succeeds in spite of its flaws. The Assassins are laughably incompetent, and even downright evil in this game, which sets up Assassin's Creed III well, highlighting their failures, but it's a bit superficial, almost like cartoon bad guys, kind of like Cesare in Brotherhood. I'd chalk this up to the rushed development, as the Templar characters are fleshed out and interesting. This game's primary strength is the perfection of the "Colonial Era" Assassin's Creed format, it improves upon the weaknesses of III and IV, and has lots of QOL changes. The game's biggest weakness is the short length which doesn't allow for proper characterization and development on account of having to fit so much into a game so quickly, but it ties Assassin's Creed 3, 4, Freedom Cry, and even Liberation together very nicely, and leads up into Unity naturally, props to the story team for managing to connect everything in a way that doesn't feel forced. The game does have an abundance of side content, albeit it's quite repetitive it's there for those who enjoy it like myself. On a final note, the return to the North American frontier is something I adore, it's my favorite setting in the whole series, and made me feel the joy of exploring I felt in AC3 with beautiful landscapes and comfy colonies, even if an overwhelmingly amount of assets are reused, which is acceptable considering the development cycle of this game. Oh yeah, and Shay looks absolutely awesome.
