8 Ways Assassin’s Creed Rogue Is The Best In The Series

5. A Great Story

A lot of the Assassin’s Creed stories have been paper thin and are often structured poorly. Handled carelessly and heavily based on literary writing tropes, stories like Unity’s were so predictable. Following the same narrative arc and character development as each other, they don’t feel unique enough and ultimately fall flat.

Rogue however had all the pieces to tell a new and fresh story... and it did. One of the Templars. By having a whole new avenue and angle to pursue, the developers could tell an intriguing and engaging story that had weight and drive behind it. Instead of relying on the tropes the series had built over time, they took an entirely new angle and portrayed the Assassin’s as the bad guys, giving the Templars a new light.

By having a new character motivation and switching up the whole dynamic of the game, the story and the events in it were so much more enjoyable. The twists and turns were portrayed perfectly and the emotional pay off at the end was executed brilliantly. In a series that is struggling narratively, Rogue excelled as a diamond in the rough.

It even did something with the modern day storyline which is more than can be said about a lot of the games.
