Assassin's Creed: Rogue
About the Game
Assassin's Creed: Rogue is the eighth main game in the historical series. It is the sequel to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag from the year before. It also acts as a prequel to Assassin's Creed III and the game's final mission is a prologue to Assassin's Creed: Unity , which was released simultaneously. Most of the gameplay and design is similar to the sandbox environment of Black Flag as the game combines exploration on land with ship-based naval exploration and battles.
Story & Setting
The protagonist is Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin recruit with a rebellious streak. As with previous games there are many collectibles and side quests.
Gameplay & Core Systems
He eventually becomes disgruntled with the order's tactics and becomes involved with the Templars as a feared Assassin Hunter, making it the first title in the series to control a Templar throughout the larger portion of the game. The familiar modern day sequences also return, this time playing as a new employee at Abstergo Entertainment who needs to explore Cormac's memories during a server crash. Swimming in icy water damages Cormac's health and there are no underwater missions like in Black Flag . There are also new weapons such as oil barrels that can be ignited. Puckle guns are introduced, ships can be rammed, and the Morrigan can be boarded by enemies during ship-to-ship combat.
Standout Features
- New York: The game's main locations are New York, the River Valley and the North Atlantic Ocean.
- The ice in the latter environment introduces new game mechanics, such as frozen cargo, icebergs used as cover and an ice-breaker ram to open up passages.
- Morrigan: His ship Morrigan is smaller and can be used to travel through rivers.
- Sea shanties return, with a mix of old and new ones.
- New weapons are air rifles and grenade launchers.
- Assassins: As many opponents are Assassins, they use familiar techniques against Cormac such as air attacks, hiding in bushes and blending in with crowds.
- Cormac: Gas is a new type of weapon and Cormac can avoid this by pulling a mask over his face.
- New animals to hunt include narwhals and polar bears.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Display support includes HDTV 720p, HDTV 1080i, HDTV 1080p, and HD Video Output. Audio support includes Dolby Digital and DTS.
