Though it fails to satisfyingly remaster the game's visuals, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered nevertheless brings the original game to the Xbox One with perfect performance and every feature that made it great in the first place.
Overall, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered can still hold up pretty well today, but whether or not you should it pick up depends on a few factors.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is a stellar remastering of one of the series most overlooked entries. Though it pales next to Origins, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered generous, content stuffed and budget priced effort still bears revisiting all the same.
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.

Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered takes the game beyond PC quality levels, making it without a doubt the best way to experience the game.
Shay-Shay's maritime tale is still worth experiencing if you have need for the Assassin's Creed brand of piracy. On-land though, it shows its outdated mechanics.
This is a pretty good remaster with some nice visual upgrades and it is being sold at a reasonable price, but unless you are a fan of the old school gameplay design of the series, it is best to stick with the new games. However, Rogue is still one of the better Assassin Creed games from the last generation.
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 is a decent port of the original, with a major upgrade to framerate, textures and resolution on this generation's consoles, but is outshined by the latest entry in the franchise. It's still a good opportunity for those that never played this episode to try it out, but will feel outdated for some after having played Assassin's Creed Origins.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered sits in a bit of an odd place. It's a good game on its own, but after the release of Assassin's Creed Origins and the major improvements it brought to the series, Shay Patrick Cormac's trek across the ocean feels outdated only four years after its original release. If you can stomach a return to the franchise's original formula, then the experience will be worth your while thanks to a compelling plot and excellent naval mechanics. But if you've grown tired of that recipe, Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered won't do anything to draw you back in.
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.
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.
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.

Rogue felt like a throwback when it was originally released alongside the next-gen Assassin's Creed Unity. This same feeling accompanies this remastered version. After the significant advancements made to the series by last year's Origins, Rogue second outing feels equally dated and mistimed. Ironically for the series, Rogue Remastered proves that going back in time isn't always fun.
Despite the good technical remaster, Assassin's Creed Rogue finds its definitive form out of time. It's hard to suggest to play such an old episode of the Ubisoft saga when you can play Origins, which just gives to Assassin's Creed a brand new life. However Rogue is a fair Black Flag spin-off, and if you are a fan of the saga and never had the chance to play the role of the betrayer of the Creed, it may be worth a run.

An adventure worthy of the Assassin's Creed faithful, particularly those seeking a down-to-earth story that fills in the backstory of the North American brotherhood.
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.
Technically well-valued open-world action, which shines with playful variety and intricate story.

One of the most interesting stories in the franchise, which stands afloat, technically speaking, in the current generation. It suffers in comparison with how much AC Origins improved the mechanics.
