  I would recommend this game EXCEPT for the level design choices. The graphics are amazing, the controls are decent, and the story is great (especially if you've read the comics The Fall and The Chain and know a bit of Nikolai Orelov's story). The platforming and stealth combat are decent and fairly polished. The problem here is that some (if not most) scenarios are designed to be completed one way, and you are destined to see "Desychronized" a lot until you figure out the way the developers wanted you to beat that scenario. While this can be frustrating, it's overcomable...until you get to the chase sequences. The chase sequences are brutal, timed so tightly that you will repeat them over and over AND OVER again until you optimize your movements and can make it to the destination point. This is intensely frustrating and almost made me stop playing the game. I pushed through for the story, but I do not recommend this approach to anyone else. Go watch a let's play or just watch the cutscenes on YouTube unless you want a punishing platformer that is not very rewarding when you beat it. Oh, and there's no option to invert your Y axis on a controller during the 1st person sniper scenes. Climax Studios, please...

  The final game in Chronicles Trilogy was bit hard because of change of mechanics as this game is more unique than previous two parts and this felt like a bit of challenging game. The Protagonist also felt good, character development was good, story kept me interesting throughout the game and I enjoyed this game more than the previous ones. Do check this game out if you want to know what happened to [spoiler]Shay Cormac[/spoiler] because there is a secret ending that reveal something about him. [h1]9.5 out of 10 Highly Recommended [/h1]

  Amazing arts and excellent story. But if you are easily irratated by repeated gameplay of dying and retrying, just don't pick this. Listen to my advice or let this game become your repeating nightmare.

  I both loved and hated this game at different times. While there are some difficult timing based parts, overall I loved it. The grey and bleak backgrounds and the depressing music really set the tone of a man trying to protect the people he loves. The ending was good but was slightly ruined by the tank section right before.

  I love Assassin's Creed and to not talk about the "Assassin's Creed Chronicles" trilogy of games would be a shame. Last in the Chronicles is Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia. Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is really hard for me to like or hate. The game completely changes up everything you have done or learned in the past two games. The stealth is good and has been polished, the combat is great and also has been polished and the graphics are beautiful again. The game takes place in 1918 Russia, in the aftermath of the October Revolution. You play as an Assassin called "Nikolai Orelov" who has one last mission to complete before he retires to live with his family but things do not go as planned. There is one MAJOR downside.... you are forced to complete levels in a VERY SPECIFIC way or you will be "Desychronized" over and over again until you do it the way the devs intended it to be. The chase scenes..... i cant even talk about them.... i have PTSD from them. For this reason i sadly again, cannot recommend this game but instead i will recommend that you buy the comic book: Assassin's Creed: The Fall and the graphic novel sequel: The chain as they are worth it compared to the game which i rate personally (the game) 3/10 but the books 8/10. P.S if you bought and played all 3 (like me) and collected all the "hidden codes" for the "secret ending" Congrats! The secret ending mentions alot of names im sure you have heard of before - "Juhani Otso Berg", "laetitia England"and "Shay cormac" (The Assassin-turned-Templar). If you want to know this ending just watch it on YT to be honest and save yourself the trouble of buying the books or the games. (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOOKS)

  So far, looks awesome. Love the black-white addition. I need to play more to contract a detailed review, but if you didn't like the other two games of the series, don't bother buy this one. Same gameplay, same mechanics, same environment, different stories. Works fine for me, it is what I expected. For more, have a look at my review on India. There are also steam cards for this one. Completely satisfied! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=620251785

  Absolute garbage just like AC India and AC China. Again the developers have learned nothing from the previous two abominations that wrongly has taken Assassin's Creed for its name. You are forever destined to either see a desynchronized screen or you voluntarily hit the "Restart Checkpoint" because the game practically says you are too stupid to figure out how to get past obstacles the way the developers want you to. Why would you voluntarily hit the "Restart Checkpoint" button? Well because if you screw up a tiny little bit or if your timing is off by a microsecond you will never succeed, so why the hell waste that extra minute waiting for the inevitable desynchronization screen. Combat is absolute atrocious, nothing has been improved over the past two incarnations. They probably didn't even bother redoing the combat because arguable you shouldn't even get into a combat situation in the first place.

  Horrible controls really tarnish what could've been a fun game. It feels like you're struggling against the controls rather than using them to navigate the game.

  Just like the other AC Chronicles titles, a good setting was wasted on a sidescroller that might as well have been a mobile game.

  Nice Artwork but playing is NO fun at all. Long loading times ? check Penalties for killing and combat ? check Dastardly and viscous gameplay ? check Super precise playing requested. But the controls aren`t responsive ? check (sneaking over a dead body five times before being able to loot) (bumping into enemies you wanted to assassinate from the back makes you freeze until guard turns around and kills you. lol) It`s easier to jump to the chest of guards and backflip off than stabbing the mf ? check Upgrades are hard to get ? check (having to "learn" the levels and repeat checkpoints before moving on? check) Stupid enemy AI ? check (sneaking up on guards and pickpocket when two guards are facing each other) (assassinate a guard, pull him into a vent in front of another guard. He won`t look into the vents, just run left and right. facepalm) Menues, selection and options are not on par with good games? check Requires UPLAY? Check ! This game is garbage I don`t recommend to anyone
