Game Informer gives "Assassin's Creed: Rogue" an 8.25 out of 10:
"For players trying to figure out which game to tackle first when two Assassin's Creed games release on the same day this year, the answer is to start here. Shay's story closes a number of story loops left behind on the American front of the Templar/Assassin conflict, and offers a crucial first step into the new European theater of war. Rogue proves why it's time for the franchise to chart some new territory, but leaves no doubt about why we fell in love in the first place."
CheatCC gives "Assassin's Creed: Rogue" a 4.1 out of 5:
"So far I have to say that Assassin's Creed: Rogue is a lot of fun. It's not really hugely new or innovative. Frankly it feels like Assassin's Creed: Black Flag all over again. However, Black Flag was an OK game so that isn't necessarily a bad thing. We will have to see how it eventually stacks up against Unity, but as the "booby prize" so to speak, the consolation effort for people who are still stuck in the last generation, Rogue is still a solid and interesting game. It may feel a bit dated, but for some of us it almost feels nostalgic. I'm frankly happy to be sailing on the high seas one more time, before docking on the shores of the next console generation."
Metacritic users scores average a 7.3 out of 10:
"One of the most refined Assassins Creed games I have played. Does not feel like a lesser game in any way and it is actually really satisfying to play it. It feels like when you get a bargain deal and realize that you got something that is actually much better than that other expensive thing you thought of buying. It is a win for sure," one user who rated the game a 10 wrote.
