10. North Atlantic and the French and Indian War – Assassin’s Creed Rogue
Assassin’s Creed Rogue takes place directly after Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and tells the story of Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin-turned-Templar. Most of the game is set in the North-Eastern U.S. as well as the Atlantic ocean, during the height of the French and Indian War. Shay manages to be a fairly interesting character, and he does play a pretty significant role in the series, but Rogue doesn’t make full use of its setting.
Most of your objectives involve Shay’s seeking of revenge for himself, rather than playing into the overall Assassin and Templar war. The French and Indian war also feels like more of an afterthought, rather than something that plays into the plot. It was a nice change of pace to see this section of the world, but Rogue felt a bit too much like the games we’d already seen in the series.
