  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)

  ACC: Russia arrives devoid of any compelling characters, and repeatedly subjects you to tedious trial-and-error missions. There are moments when it truly shines, but those are quickly eclipsed by uneven mechanics, instant fail-states, and bland level design.

  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

  Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is a 2.5D side-scrolling puzzle platformer. While not altogether different from the other Assassin's Creed Chronicles games, it offers a different and unique challenge. The difficulty has been ramped up in this version to provide a bit more of a challenge, but not so much so that it'll take you longer than 5-7 hours to beat it. At the end of the story, I'm left with more questions than answers, but I'm told that this series is a companion series to the comic books which I have not read. You'll go through 10 memory sequences which will feel familiar if you've ever played a main series Assassin's Creed game, though these are much shorter, much less cinematic, and much more comic book-y. You'll play through a series of sequences in which you are scored based on your "style grade" and you'll earn bonuses for being extra stealthy, non-lethal, and make good use of your resources. Some of my favorite levels are the "chase and run" levels where you're racing the clock to reach the exit. Those were by far the most fun and interactive. The controls are a little unresponsive, but no more or less responsive than the previous two Assassin's Creed Chronicles games. All in all, I would reccommend playing Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia as a breather to the main AC series. While not the best game, this has inspired me to try out other 2.5D puzzle platformers and that's a good thing.

  I liked China, I somewhat liked India, but this... First of all: Why the hell the high scores needed to progress the character? Is like the devs wanted us to GOLD every segment and do a non lethal run + getting the secondary objectives + getting all collectibles, WHILE coping with pixel perfect jumps and perfect timing. Since the collectibles are not an essential part, plus, no hidden ending, there wasn't any for me to try and collect all like I did on China and India, I just wanted to stick to the gameplay and finish it as soon as possible. So, it was just for adding a "collect things" thing. Nice visuals, bad execution.

  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.
