Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered Reviews
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.
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.

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’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.
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.
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.

If newcomers can look past some of the games dated flaws, there is a lot to still appreciate here.
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.

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 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.
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 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.
