Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered Reviews
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.
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Creed Origins and the major improvements it brought to the series, Shay Patrick Cormac's trek across the ocean feels outdated only four years after its original release.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.
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 It's still a good opportunity for those that never played this episode to try it out, but will feel outdated for some after having played Assassin's Creed Origins.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 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.

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.
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 On-land though, it shows its outdated mechanics.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered takes the game beyond PC quality levels, making it without a doubt the best way to experience the game.
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 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.
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.
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.
There are many advantages for anyone to try Assassin's Creed Rogue's good looks, exciting story or a desire to return to classic series games. Although the game is not more beautiful than Black Flag or larger than Origins, it offers a range of tasks that are best in string and naval battles and countless personalization options, making it a major choice for anyone who has never had a chance to try it before.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
