Assassin’s Creed: 5 Must-Plays & 5 That Suck

10. Sucks: Rogue

We start with some controversy, and who doesn't enjoy a little controversy, right?

Assassin's Creed Rogue was the second release from Ubisoft within 2014. While it arguably was a stellar performance, it was also found wanting in a multitude of key areas.

With enjoyable game play and graphics that were equally tasteful, it was its story that left a lot to be desired. A slog throughout, the switch in focus to having the player hunt down other assassins as opposed to the familiar goal of eliminating Templars was testing.

Some nice additions appeared, such as the rifle - and there were some minor tweaks to the parkour to offer a few fun extras, but not much else leaves us clamouring to return any time soon.

Attempts at innovation in gaming tend to be greeted with a mixed opinions, but this wasn't a change that was met well with fans. Essentially an elaborate expansion pack for Black Flag, it's fair to say that this classes more of a "you won't miss much if you don't play this title" entry to the series.

A pleasant outing in parts, Rogue was a glorified extra that wasn't required by the fandom that year, and one that could have warranted a stronger effort expanding its world before release.
