🕹️Finished Campaign: Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered
With a rumored Black Flag remake, why not dive in some Assassin’s Creed? I’m a creature of habit, a gamer of culture.
But no, Rogue is not really underrated, contrary to what some Reddit post might suggest. Short campaign, small environment, economy is completely broken. Story, the selling point, is just fine, and while it’s nice to see Lisbon briefly featured (the earthquake one), there’s not very much to be remembered. Haytham Kenway has more protagonist energy than Shay in his own game!
But hey, at least you can go fishing! And have fun with some North Atlantic fishes! That’s something I assume.
The game suffers from the same issues as other AC games featuring America land. It’s just not that exciting exploring America at the 18th century, let alone doing parkour. Pretty sure you barely do any parkour in AC3.
Also Ubisoft changed the system for parkour at AC3 and well, I don’t like it. The good-old counter-attack combat system also leaves much to be desired.
The AC franchise had miserable reception during the 7th-8th gen transition, thus we have huge monolithic games like Valhalla. They have identity crisis problems. Yet, compared to Origins, Unity, Ezio trilogy and maybe Black Flag (which I’ll probably try out again), I’m more hesitant to praise Rogue.
