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

3. Fills in the Story-line

Strangely enough, the game feels like It needs to exist. It has a purpose beyond telling its story. Where the game fits In the Assassin’s Creed universe is incredibly important as it sits right at the crossroads for a lot of the games. Connected to Black Flag, Unity and Assassin’s Creed 3, the game brings them all together and ties them all off, finishing what needs finishing and adding a new appreciation to all the games.

Providing the backstory to characters like Achilles and giving his seclusion in the Assassin’s Creed 3 a whole lot of depth, alongside building on Haytham’s story, revealing details about what he did in the break of Assassin’s Creed 3. Rogue makes that game a whole much better because of some of the details it reveals. And while it can’t fix Connor’s monotone character it makes the game feel a lot deeper.

Not only does it do all that, but it fixes one of the major flaws with Unity and adds context and depth to the beginning of that game. Arno’s father’s death Is somewhat forgotten about and is never really paid off, but with the end of Rogue and the big reveal it is given a whole lot of context and makes Unity better for it.

For a game to single-handedly make two of the weakest titles in the series that little bit better, it deserves a little recognition.
