Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered Reviews
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is a fun game which would entertain you good if you haven't played it before. Story is well-written and there are lots of new information about the war between Assassins and Templars but some missions are quite repetitive.

Despite a promising narrative and established gameplay structure, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered fails to innovate from its predecessor or meaningfully improve upon its original release.
Assassin's Creed Rogue is an often-overlooked entry in the series. It's a fun compilation of all prior releases, and it has a cool story and strong characters. Its remastered version, however, doesn't add anything significant and falls flat since it doesn't offer any improvements to Shay Cormac's Assassin/Templar story.
As a jumping in point, it would be difficult to recommend Assassin's Creed Rogue. However, as a product in and of itself, it is a cohesive experience with hidden levels of depth and progression possibilities, backed by exceptional presentation values and fun fighting and seafaring mechanics. Completionists looking for an irresistible challenge and franchise fans who missed out the first time around will find a lot to love here.
I can't help but shake the feeling that Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered exists solely to drive home how badly the series needed to be torn down and rebuilt. The interesting story and fantastic ship combat still make for a good entry, but boring land combat and awkward parkour bring it down.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is a strange paradox. It's a "link" chapter, that concludes the concepts born on previous gen consoles, but on the other hand it actually says something new about the series and its background. There are lot of recycled ideas, but here they reach the better compromise between engagement, free-roaming, plot and optional tasks. The remaster also does not give specific changes except from the stabilized frame-rate, so if you are not collectors you will not be so incentivate to rebuy it. If you have discovered the series from Black Flag and Unity, consider giving it a possibility.

A vital entry for fans who missed out the first time, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered boasts an excellent story and beautifully upgraded 4K visuals, but feels extremely dated next to Origins.
Seeing Assassins presented as the enemy casts the game in a much different light and humanises the Templars at the same time.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is a modest remaster but a good one. While some other options would've been appreciated to prioritise frame rate over resolution, the game itself still stands up four years on. It's missing some of the bells and whistles that games like Origins have since introduced, but its unique premise and concept means it's an experience most Assassin's Creed fans shouldn't miss.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is a much needed comeback of an outstanding Assassin's Creed entry. An original idea for a story, well-known mechanics from Black Flag and tons of activities to complete – it's truly a full package.

Overall, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is entertaining if you never played the game before. It's a little on the short side though as most people should be able to complete it in around 7 hours. If you played the game before, there's not much on offer here as the gameplay is exactly the same and the graphics aren't really a huge improvement.
Assassin’s Creed Rogue is a very unnecessary remaster because it doesn’t improve the core game in any way. There are some minor tweaks in the graphics department, but it looks just like any other next-gen port of an older game.

Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered gives players a chance to play an important game in the series' ongoing narrative, and this re-release looks (and plays) better than ever.
However, if you're a more casual fan of the series then this is only the fourth-best Assassin's Creed on current-gen hardware, and there are other, stronger open-world games around if you just want more of this kind of thing. It's great to see Rogue return looking so good, but it seems destined to remain a side-story, not a classic chapter in the saga.
Technically well-valued open-world action, which shines with playful variety and intricate story.

When Assassin's Creed Rogue originally released, there was a feeling among fans that the series was in need of reinvention. The gameplay frustrations had been present long enough and it was time for something new.
But even after all my criticisms with the game, the ending was both surprising and fitting. I won't spoil it, but what I will say is that it reminded me of why I love this franchise so dearly and I would be lying if I said that I didn't get a little emotional. It doesn't stop there though, as Assassin's Creed Rogue is full of small surprises for long-time fans that are better left explored. If anything can be taken from the release of Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered, it is that the series has come a long way in a short period of time. Unfortunately, Assassin's Creed Rogue is on the wrong side of that timeline.
A remastering that brings us everything that the game had originally but with a much superior artistic quality, especially on Xbox One X.

Focusing only on graphics, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is an acceptable remaster of a game featuring mechanics that already felt dated four years ago. After the release of the excellent Assassin's Creed Origins and other modern open world games, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered's combat, stealth and overall design feel even worse than they did before, and Ubisoft missed the chance to address some of them with the remaster. Despite these issues, however, the game is one of the few entries in the series that manages to capture a feel of adventure, making it a worthy play for those who love stories where the main character raises from nothing to become the most important man in the world.
