Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia Reviews
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is the best entry in this mini-series. The story is the most intriguing, and there are finally some new mechanics that add to the gameplay. The core of the game, however, is still unfortunately flawed. Enemies are hilariously stupid, chase/escape sequences require timing that is too precise for such a clunky control scheme, and checkpoints can be frustratingly sparse. While the stylized look and feel is a standout for this entry, ACCR doesn't do quite enough to its core to improve by much. If you've enjoyed your time with the Chronicles series, then let Russia serve as a nightcap: good as a finish to the evening, but too much of anything is liable to upset you.
Plainly put, ACC Russia is just not enjoyable on the whole.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia is a reasonably fun game that fans of the series should be able to enjoy.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia is probably the weaker game in the series so far and that's not to say that gameplay is flawed. Rather, the protagonist of Nikolai and the story is a little lacklustre but given the price, it's still an enjoyable experience on the PS4 that allows gamers to experience another part of the bigger Assassin's Creed mythology.
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia ist bis auf ein paar kleinere Schnitzer und Designschwächen immer noch der beste Ableger der Chronicles Trilogie. Vor allem das großartige Setting und die passende Ausrüstung überzeugen eigentlich durchgehend. Falls ihr zwischen einem der drei Ableger wählen müsst, solltet ihr auf jeden Fall bei Russia zuschlagen. Ansonsten gibt es die 3 Chronicles Ableger auch im Bundle erhältlich.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia continues the Chronicles series' tradition of stealth mediocrity, offering up a handful of uneventful 2D side-scrolling missions. As usual, the visuals are nice and the mechanics are solid, but assassinating people should never be this tedious.
While Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia isn't quite up there with the best adventures in the series, it's still the best release in the trilogy, thanks to its moody settings, its acceptable range of gameplay and its fun storytelling. You'll definitely have more fun with this one than you would the previous two games. Might as well finish up in style, right?
Some clever visuals and a modern setting can't stop the third Chronicles game from being the least successful, even if it's the most ambitious.
At this point you've seen the best this series has to offer and if you haven't, then I would suggest playing ACC China and leaving it at that. Unless you're a dedicated fan, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is not worth your time or money.
It's different, it's creative, it's stark, and I loved every second of it. I do hope that the trilogy has been enough of a commercial success that Climax can be recruited to build more of these, because I do love the modus operandi; taking more "obscure" periods of history and then using them to frame Assassin's Creed games that simply wouldn't happen otherwise is something that I think is very worthy.
While it tells a complex narrative and incorporates some fun new gameplay elements, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is held back by its inability to maintain static entertainment.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles comes to a dull end in Russia.
A lovely art style and occasional bouts of the fun that the past games had doesn't make up for Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia's many pitfalls.
