The first time I was attacked with an air assassination made me smile. They can attack from cover and from crowds, and use different hiding tactics to avoid brawls.
Hunting them - and being hunted by them - plays out similarly to the cat-and-mouse multiplayer from previous games. The gameplay opportunities it offers are different - instead of a string of identical guards to plow through, Shay’s Assassin enemies use many of the tricks that I’ve been learning through the years. It also answers some of the questions left over from previous games, such as what happened to Adéwalé.

It is probably the best narrative of an 'Assassin’s Creed' since 'Assassin’s Creed II', which is very refreshing because the story quality of the series has declined in the last few years.
However, the story that unfolds around Shay made me understand his decisions, even sympathize with some of them. I felt guilty even before playing 'Rogue', knowing from the promotional material that Shay would eventually betray the Brotherhood and become not just a Templar, but a Templar whose sole duty is to murder Assassins. Because some of his enemies are Assassins, Shay has a gas mask to protect against poisonous fumes. In hand-to-hand combat Shay uses a single sword paired with a main gauche, which can be upgraded. There is also a grenade launcher that replaces the thrown grenades of previous games. It can load different types of ammunition, even a firecracker round to distract enemies. This includes an air rifle that serves as an updated blowgun. He runs, climbs, and hides as expected, although he does have access to a few new weapons and gadgets. Shay could be an Irish-voiced palette swap of Ratonhnhaké:ton or Edward Kenway for all intents and purpose. 'Rogue' plays much like both ' Assassin’s Creed III' and the last-gen version of 'Black Flag'. The lead character of 'Rogue' is Shay Cormac, a former Assassin who takes up arms against his brothers and joins the Templars. Until now, players have only taken control of Templars briefly. Like the Assassins, the Templars were a very public edifice during the Crusades, but unlike the Assassins, became a powerful Illuminati organization that desires world domination. For anyone new to the series, the titular Assassins claim to be the saviors of human freedom in an ancient struggle against the Knights Templar. 'Assassin’s Creed: Rogue' checks off a few boxes for Ubisoft: giving players a last-gen option this year, closing up the North American saga of 'Assassin’s Creed', and allowing players to experience a Templar game.
