Pointedly where PS4 Pro owners are concerned, and quite unlike 2016’s Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection, the bump up to native 4K resolution actually works to the benefit of Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered.

With a much higher resolution, improved textures, denser crowds and better draw distances than even the original PC version at max detail settings, Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remaster does a stellar job in managing to not look its age. When it comes to the visual improvements that Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered brings to the table, it’s not unreasonable to say that Ubisoft have done themselves proud here.

Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered brings back Black Flag’s balance of ship based warfare and traditional series stab-jump gameplay. Simply put, the thrill of unleashing cannon fire on an enemy ship, ramming your vessel into theirs or just boarding an opposing boat and battling their crew among a hail of screams, gunfire and explosions is an enduring thrill to say the least. It’s not all a step backwards however, as Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered also deeply emulates the ship-to-ship warfare management which arguably helped to make Black Flag as critically and commercially successful as it was. The creakiness of that old template extends to both the combat and the series much vaunted parkour platforming too, as the fights that Cormac often gets himself into can mostly be easily resolved by a skill-free counter system which though cinematic, takes the challenge out of battles, while on the other side of the coin, the platforming mechanics are such that accidental leaps to your death can occur far too often. As such, the obvious and extensive copy and paste from Black Flag is likely to frustrate those don’t want to look back to the series less refined and busywork stuffed days.īy following the old-style template that the series embraced from Assassin’s Creed II onward, Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered liberally crams the map with a ton of icons and so much stuff to collect that the game can often feel like a collect-a-thon more than the epic action adventure that it strives to be.

Instead, Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered feels and plays just like Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag which released back in 2013, and a year prior to the original release of Assassin’s Creed Rogue. By that, I mean all of the shiny new, Witcher-esque open-world mechanics and Dark Souls style combat system that were introduced in last year’s superlative Assassin’s Creed Origins are nowhere to be found here.

Unmistakably then, this is ‘old-school’ Assassin’s Creed.

Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered holds up in 4K on PS4 Pro. With the events chronicled in Assassin’s Creed Rogue taking place years after those depicted in the swashbuckling, pirate flavoured Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, it should come as no surprise that this game also borrows heavily from the gameplay systems of its predecessor. As swaggering Irish Assassin Shay Patrick Cormac, a new recruit to the Order of Assassins, Cormac soon finds himself disillusioned at the zealotry of some members in the Order and begins to question just how ‘good’ the Order actually is. If you weren’t around in 2014 for whatever reason, Assassin’s Creed Rogue actually tells an intriguing tale within the confines of Ubisoft’s storied, time-travelling franchise.
