Assassin's Creed: Rogue

I purchased the English Audio/Chinese Subtitle Edition of Hogwarts Legacy for PS4, and we have been having an awesome time with the game in both languages. HL is lot better than most licensed games, Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding world are gorgeous, characters and clothing are beautiful, voice acting and music is top notch, and standard RPG elements such as character creation, unlocking abilities, gear customization, and levelling are all are well implemented. Would have liked a greater focus on companions, relationships, romance, school life, but can't really complain as they chose to make this more of a standard single player adventure. Note that quidditch is not here and is intended to be released separately,

I don’t usually do reviews on games based on shows because they’re generally regarded as bad or not what fans want etc. this however is just a bad game and if an iconic franchise growing this is absolutely horrible way to stray into the gaming world. Not only did it have almost 0 advertisements gamemill the same company who did the Gi Joe game was Given this title. So you can draw parallels really quickly from bad environments incredibly unstable frame rates and inconsistent dialog. Starting the game I was met with an absolutely bland environment and a sign by the mayor that was blurry in big bold blurry font. No this wasn’t part of the games intentions. I also felt incredibly clunky controlling a very agile fast character. I like that they added real Voice actors lines in the game that’s a plus and I absolutely love that they chose to make this game but I’m just blown away that a $10 game can be sold for $50/$60

An underrated gem in this long running franchise, Assassin's Creed Rogue is sure to be one hell of a good time for new comers and old fans alike! The game continues in the present day after the events of Black Flag where new unnamned protagonist who works for Abstergo is looking into the memories of a former Irish Assassin named Shay Cormac during his time in the French and Indian War. Our unnamed protagonist then comes across a hidden memory that then corrupts servers in Abstergo, leaving the building under lockdown. But, luckily that's just the icing on this sweet and bloody cake. We now go into why we come to the Assassin's Creed games in the first place; the assassins and templar feuds in these historically important timelines. We go back to Shay Cormac who is currently working for the Brotherhood of Assassins. His story starts with him learning from the best of best practicing stealth, hunting, and shooting skills. He then goes on a few missions but goes into another that leads to unfavorable results. He attempts to retrieve an important artifact but upon touching it, it triggers a giant Earthquake around the whole city killing innocent lives in the process. He then confronts his mentors and grand mentor about this horrible event and is unfortunate to realize that they still intend to find the remaining pieces. So Shay forms and executes a plan to prevent his brothers of the creed on finding the remaining pieces by stealing and escaping with the manuscript. Not without a little parting gift. That is if you count a bullet as a parting gift, This then brands Shay as a traitor to the Creed. The game then brings you up to when Shay gets rescued and repays his saviors' kindness by getting rid of a local gang that have been harming the area, which these gangs happen to be consisting of assassins, and then begin your new life as a Templar. The game heavily borrows from the elements of Naval battles, looting ships, and upgrading your own from Black Flag but then borrows the hunting of Norther colonial animals from the Assassin's Creed 3. Which makes sense since the game takes years prior to the revolutionary war and certain characters also make a return in this game but younger then when we last saw them. The game is so addicting with the possibilities different types of assassinations, the introduction to a air sniper dart that contains different effects and even grenades that can affect more than one enemy, unlike the sniper dart gun I mentioned just now. What also sets the game apart and personally makes it to me as the best is due to the inclusion of adding the new enemies which are your former brethren, the assassins. The things you do usually in the previous games, they do to. Air assassinations? Check. Hide in plain sight? Check. Hide in special areas to keep them conceived? Check. And when you get stabbed, it does a tremendous amount of damage. You also have to deal with those who love smoke bombs like you too. Of course, they are also difficult to catch due to the insane parkour skills like yours too. Plus, taking down gang leaders are the hardest for they may contain all of those qualities and then some. It isn't for those who just want to perform easy stealth kills. The good news is that your eagle vision acts as a compass to help point out where potential stalkers, the assassins that hide, lurk. Plus you also have creepy heavy breathing that gets louder as you get closer to a stalker. So thank god you can rely on those and counter would be stabbings. The game also adds more with very cold areas involving icebergs, freezing water that can actually make you freeze to death by taking bits of health away, and other goodies. You can also craft upgrades for yourself in terms of carrying more ammo, health upgrades, and more with the help of a combination of animal skins you have with you from kills or when you go to a general store. You can also craft and buy certain outfits or earn others from doing certain special missions. The game i fueled with content, great and memorable characters, and a new look into what the other side is like. It's like looking into the perspective of the Sith from Star Wars except Shay is intact while Vader is uh. Not so much in more ways than one. The game is definitely an underrated gem that actually makes you question why something like this, that is so polished, more historically accurate, and has great dialogue, got pushed to the 7th gen systems and a mess like Assassin's Creed Unity got the green light to be released

Arguably the best AC, don't believe me, try it for yourself, if I can turn back time, I'd rather play this one for my PS4 rather than that boring AC Syndicate.

Let's hope they make a better AC this year, since they skipped last year for a better AC game, fingers crossed.

This game came out almost at similar timing as unity with less expectations and zero hype. but it delivers more than what i have expected and still a worthwhile purchase.
