Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered Reviews
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.
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.
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 It's still a good opportunity for those that never played this episode to try it out, but will feel outdated for some after having played Assassin's Creed Origins.
Technically well-valued open-world action, which shines with playful variety and intricate story.

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.
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.
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.
It feels more creative and less constrained than the "major" Assassin's Creed titles (as did Liberation and Chronicles), and for that reason it's right up there with my favourite games in the entire franchise.
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.
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.
