Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is quite a departure from it's siblings due to its side-scrolling perspective. But apart from this change from the core gameplay of the franchise, it does little else.

Critic Reviews for Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China
'Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China' features a unique art style and fun level design, but the stealth-focused gameplay starts to wear thin after a while.
A stripped down stealth offering that reinvigorates Assassin's Creed by putting attention back on the sneaky stuff.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China does a lot of the hard stuff well, but can't convey the rush of being an assassin.
As a 2D interpretation of Assassin's Creed this works perfectly well, but the workmanlike design and bland atmosphere makes it hard to get excited about.
Though it sheds many of the series' best elements, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China has its own charm, and is worth a play for those in search of a simple stealth experience.
This spin-off starts strong, yet loses steam the further you progress
Chronicles: China is the smartest twist on the Assassin's Creed formula yet
It is the most sumptuous and stealth-focused Assassin's Creed yet, but Chronicles: China doesn't assemble its pieces into a gratifying whole.
