Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered Reviews
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.
Assassin's Creed Rogue was tones of fun and I personally am glad it got the remaster so that I had the chance to play it on current gen consoles. It was a nice chance to get to see Shay story in the whole series as well as a nice twist to play as a Templar.
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's remaster has kind of missed the boat. It's a good game with a good story, but its contributions to the franchise's overall story have been since forgotten. If you've missed the game back when it released because Assassin's Creed Unity came out on the same day, you might want to consider going back, though.

If newcomers can look past some of the games dated flaws, there is a lot to still appreciate here.
Ubisoft has managed to fill the gap for Assassin's Creed fans who have not played Rogue by remastering it. But although the game's story has its upsides, the graphics are not quite on par with the current market demand and its standards but as a whole package, Assassin's Creed Rogue is just valuable enough to be worth the try.

Rogue is a title that released at a terrible time and on consoles that a lot of people had already put in storage. It is nice to see this game get a second chance. It is a great entry in the series, and one that takes the story in places it had never gone. Mix it with the addictive sailing of Black Flag and I definitely recommend it to fans of the series. Don't sleep on this title. It is definitely worth checking out.
Assassin’s Creed: Rogue’s initial release on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 was significantly overshadowed by the simultaneous release of Assassin’s Creed: Unity as naturally, the greater part of players turned to the game released on next gen consoles (at the time). That said, many never embarked upon Shay’s journey, including myself making the remastering of this title a divine opportunity to fill in some blanks for presumably, a vast portion of Assassin’s Creed players.
Four years have passed since the release of Assassin's Creed Rogue for the last-gen-consoles. Back then a lot of people missed out on this game due to the near simultaneous release of AC Unity. With AC Rogue: Remastered these people now get their chance to relive the adventures of the Assassin-turned-Templer Shay Cormack during the Seven Year War. With 4K-support and sharper graphics the game looks better than ever, even though you can't ignore the age. The fighting system and the animations just feel old and if you have had enough of the old Assassin's Creed formula you should skip this remaster. Likewise, if you already have played the original. If you can overlook these points, you will have a jolly good time.

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.

It’s my favourite Assassin’s Creed of the last-generation and it’s now very close to the best one of this generation too.
In this Remastered version of Rogue, although not much of the activities have changed and yes, in some parts, it looks exactly as how it did — but the game now runs smoothly to adapt to its wide environment. The visuals are more beautiful and stunning without the large amounts of bugs that had made the game only tolerable in the past.
If you want to play Assassin's Creed Rogue again with improved graphics on your new console, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is the game you are looking for.

It might be unfair to judge a four year-old game by today's standards, but after experiencing the deep open world of Origins, it's hard to go back.
Ubisoft have done a fantastic job of bringing another instalment in the series back to our consoles. However, the short single player campaign and relatively empty game world that pales in comparison to other entries in the series hampers the progression of one the series' most interesting characters.
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.
Rogue could have been an essential game in the franchise, if only for the story and the rare chance to see inside the world of the Templars. Instead, we barely get any story development except for cameos and knowing references to other games. The missions are tedious and the lack of interesting locations is a step back from previous entries. Rogue might have scraped a three out of five if I’d reviewed it back in 2014, but in 2018 it doesn’t even deserve that.
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.
It's exciting to re-board the Morrigan and step into the boots of Shay Cormac. The ground combat may feel the effect of age, but the naval combat remains a highlight of the series. While a lot of people may have chased Unity onto the new generation of hardware, missing Rogue in the process, now they can enjoy the crowning jewel of the Americas Trilogy at 4K, which looks better than ever.
