Rather than one large Caribbean map, the sailing section of the game is now split between the River Valley (a part of New York that looks strangely like a retextured Caribbean) and the North Atlantic up by Halifax (which also looks strangely similar to the Caribbean, albeit with snow and icebergs). On the other hand, it plays like Black Flag: sail your ship around, listen to pirate shanties, discover little coastal towns, dig for treasure, beat people up in bars, blow up other ships. I figured Id look at the map to see where it lives and try to track it down. He just got screwed by playing B-side to Unity this year. I just don’t buy it, and that’s a shame because I think in a full-fledged game Cormac could be that important.

There’s a guy working for Abstergo Industries in the modern-day part of the game who continually tells you that Shay Cormac is “the most important Assassin to ever live” or something along those lines, but at the end of the day…why? Because he killed some other Assassins? Assassin’s Creed Rogue lets players take on one of two roles: Abstergo Renown or Shay Patrick. Created exclusively for next-generation consoles, it features an all-new hero, new gameplay mechanics, and HD graphics. I’m left with the impression that Rogue is the most ambitious Assassin’s Creed story-in terms of character, in terms of information on the two factions, in terms of First Civilization lore-but it just never clicks. Assassins Creed Rogue is the ninth game in the world-renowned Assassins Creed series.
