Blaming his Brotherhood for the events – and the trailers explain this, so it's not necessarily a spoiler – he falls out of favor with the assassins and becomes their number one target. It's this race that leads Cormac, initially a young recruit climbing the ranks as an assassin is wont to do, to the forefront of the conflict.Īfter Cormac lands in Lisbon in search of an ancient temple, things go awry, and the region suffers a disaster that can only be described as cataclysmic. The game dutifully introduces players to a world where templars and assassins race to locate important artifacts that lead the way to ancient temples containing Pieces of Eden, the franchise's favorite MacGuffin. Rogue follows the exploits of Shay Patrick Cormac, who begins the game as a loyal member of the 18th century Colonial Assassins brotherhood, until a horrific event causes him to rethink his allegiance. If you can accept rampant copy-and-paste in another full priced entry, you'll more than likely enjoy what Assassin's Creed Rogue has to offer. Assassin's Creed Rogue is essentially a clone of Black Flag's setting and systems. This was done to illustrate a point: If you're looking to Rogue to bring something fresh to the table, keep pillaging elsewhere. If the opening of this review sounds mostly familiar, it's because it was mostly copied from our review of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
Here are just some of the things you can do in Assassin's Creed Rogue: climb a tower, hunt a whale, hide in a haystack, steer a ship in a storm, stick a sword through a man's eye socket, air-assassinate a fox, fight off a boarding party.
