Nice game, good story and solid technology

We play Shay Patrick Cormac, a young, aspiring assassins in the North American Brotherhood. He serves under the Master Achilles, exactly the one who has trained in AC 3 Connor. But AC Rogue begins a few decades earlier, Connor is not even born. The British and French colonies on the North American continent are close to the Seven Years War and Achilles sends Shay and his best friend Liam on the hunt for a manuscript and an artifact that will lead them to a Pieces of Eden. But then something happens that deeply shocked Shays loyalty to the assassins and finally drives him into the arms of the Templars ...

AC Rogue feels a bit like a mix of Black Flag and AC 3: The scenes are almost all found in the far north of America. We sail the river valley and the North Atlantic to high into the eternal ice - which gives a very nice background with blowing snow and glittering cold. The gameplay is nearly 1: 1 Black Flag. Just over half the game is spent on his boat, dedicated to the joyful piracy, shoots forts in Klump to expand their own spheres of influence or discover the numerous small settlements along the coasts. The ship handling feels towards the Black Flag in even a bit better and more dynamic on, it's definitely a lot of fun. In addition, there are a few cities, the biggest of them New York, and a few exotic trip in completely different fields.
Shay is a hero pronounced succeeded his loyalty change for the Templars is due to understand by the good and dynamic story. One can empathize with the character and the game so has its moments, especially when he begins to make his former friends hunting. As you hold as a player after a stunning sequence ever held, because one has the feeling that it would not be appropriate now emotionally, just carry on with the next standard hunting-and-collection task :)

Technically the game is pure relaxation. I installed it on the DVD, to dispense with the proposed update (since I did not feel like hours long download delays) through the whole process and in offline mode, without there being a single trailer or otherwise any technical problem. That's the way it has to be. Like all Ubisoft games AC Rogue is wedded to a Ubisoft account when installing. On the hardware side, it behaves very humane - it runs smoothly even on older systems and looks good.

I have entertained at the 40 hours of play - the main story fills about one third of them, the rest goes for the numerous optional activities, exploring the very large world, sea battles, etc. on it. If you want to meet all collection quests (which are always rewarded in the end each with a special armor), you can probably still sometimes loosely hanging around double the time in River Valley and the North Atlantic.

If there is something there for nölen, then perhaps that contemporary strand of the story, the play again in the premises of Abstergo Industries, is not to exceed in irrelevance. But well, the sequences can tear down in 10 minutes each, and then you're back in Shays clear span of those history. Also I would have found it nice if you could have the potential for conflict arising from Shays Templar membership, even more used - because you could make a good an outstanding story.
But as I said, these are small Nölereien. Actually I enjoyed it a lot of fun to slip into Shay Patrick Cormac Templar skin.
Therefore, I forgive also 5 star for a good, round and round satisfying game that comes along without any frustrating moments.
