Even though this is a side game similar to that of AC Liberation or the standalone Freedom Cry (Black Flag DLC) and is overshadowed by the bigger AC title of that year, being Unity, I hold Rogue as my favorite Assassin's Creed game of all time. Unlike many others who hold more favor towards the Ezio trilogy of games I personally prefer the colonial era games (granted I did start with AC3). I love the gameplay of this era and this game especially along with the vast amount of locations and means of travel, the start of true ship travel and the liberation and/or conquering of forts and towns throughout colonial America and the Caribbean.

Along with the gameplay I also love the story this game gives, though relatively shorter than normal AC releases. Shay Cormac's story between the Assassin Brotherhood and Templar Order is one that though keeping to the era feel does show a unique and enthralling perspective on the other side of the conflict and how various decisions made by both sides influence events of the later Assassins we play as. If you enjoyed AC3 & Black Flag and/or want to see a different genuine perspective from the side of the Templar's I highly recommend this game. I have 100% the remaster on Xbone, played the campaign multiple times on both Remastered and the original on Xbox 360 and now play it again on PC.
