It also means a return to the old way of doing things that have changed a lot in the series’ most recent outing, specifically in regard to combat and missions. If you played Black Flag for the piracy, it’s alive and well in Rogue, even if Ubisoft seem to have left the best part of ACIV behind since Rogue’s release.

Obviously, this sea is full of ships for you to plunder so you can gather materials to upgrade your own ship. There is a lot of sea to cover, from North America to the frozen Pacific, complete with new challenges such as icebergs and freezing water to contend with. Rogue is designed in the same way as Black Flag, complete with all the piracy and swashbuckling that entails. The sea might be a good few paces behind Sea of Thieves, but it’s still just as imposing when things start to get dangerous. Barring some aliasing, the ships still look impressively detailed, every plank of wood distinct and every cannon shiny. Much, if not most of the game is spent looking at your ship and crew as you sail about shooting other ships and boarding them, and the character models and ships themselves look pretty great. It’s clear from the occasional stretched-looking ground texture and lack of current gen sheen that Rogue is a game for older hardware, but it has an ace up its sleeve.

It has been updated to full 1080p on PS4 and Xbox One, 4K on the Pro and One X, but is locked at 30 frames per second on all of these. Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered is a welcome chance for those who, like me, missed the opportunity to see Shay’s fall from grace, even though it does feel like it might be a little late after last year’s Origins.Īs it is a remaster of a last gen game, you shouldn’t be going into the game expecting current gen graphics. It was a shame, as it meant that I never got to experience the Assassin, Shay Patrick Cormac defecting to the Templars, in what sounded like a more even-handed telling of the clash between the two orders. When Assassin’s Creed Rogue originally release on PS3 and X360 in 2014, I had already moved onto the Playstation 4 and people were focussed on the hysterically broken Assassin’s Creed Unity.
