Ubisoft and developer Climax have this well and they use huge dark and dark shades to accentuate

And then it's time for the third and final Assassin's Creed Chronicles game. The Assassin's going this time to the always gorgeous Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. Read our Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia review.

About a year ago appeared Assassin's Creed Chroncles India. The game was well received and ushered in the first part of the trilogy as today in the shops. Also, the second part of the Chronicles series, namely, China, was an entertaining game. Can Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia repeat that trick?

cool setting
Let's start with the setting of the game. Not surprisingly, we are this time in Russia. Nikolai Orelov wants to retire, but must complete one mission to save the assassin of the plans of the templars. It's 1918, St. Petersburg just after the Russian Revolution, a dark and historically very important time in the history of mankind.

Ubisoft and developer Climax have this well and they use huge dark and dark shades to accentuate this period. The look of the game is far from cheerful, especially when compared to the two roof racks going Chronicles games. But that is not something negative, it just fits perfectly with the look of the game. The setting is simply put down properly.

Furthermore, it is still noteworthy to say that Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia the 'youngest' Assassin's Creed so far. No Assassin's Creed is based on events closer to the time in which we now live. It is interesting to see if the story of next Assassin's Creed Share this play in. An Assassin's Creed in the 20th century is in fact something that many fans ask.

Again, two characters
Ubisoft throws it clearly a different approach in the coming years. 2.5D games and maybe not Assassin's Creed in 2016 are good examples. Ubisoft yet (fortunately) also remains clinging to strong elements of previous titles in the now long-running franchise. Like Assassin's Creed Syndicate is there namely multiple playable characters.

Chronicles Russia focuses most on Nikolai, but he is not the only Assassin in St. Petersburg. A lady with the simple name Anastasia Nikolaevna also belongs to the select group of Russian Assassin's. Both have other qualities, like Jacob and Evie in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. The change is very welcome and ensures diversity. Nikolai is stronger and slower, where Anastasia is faster.

New weapons, new way to play
Now all three games Chronicles aspire, we can conclude that all three games are quite different. Not only in terms of setting, but also in terms of weapons you use. Chronicles in Russia you have for example the so-called spear rope. You use include to pull things off the wall. This creates some new gameplay elements.

But a relatively modern time also requires relatively modern weapons. Therefore Nikolai often will grab his gun and enemies will also do so. The core of the game is to be seen and to sneak past everywhere, but fights are sometimes unavoidable. Then it really does not fit so well in the Assassin's Creed series to shoot. Assassin's use swords and knives, no sniper rifles.

Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia is basically a 2.5D platformer and platformers hear a healthy dose of frustration. However, if there is another attached a time element, this frustration factor is increased greatly. The required precision and the related number of times you need to do the missions again, maybe take care of a little too high frustration.

Which also provides high frustration, the combat system. It is intended that sneaks up, is not seen and most importantly does not enter into battle with enemies. If you do that, you're in one shot or killed and you can start again. It is therefore not possible to run out all guns blazing in a group of three guards and they slaughter. Although the fact that creep condition is very nice central, this could again cause tremendous irritation.

One trilogy, one story
The story in the Chronicle three games are following each other out. It is not necessarily required to have played all the parts before you start to Russia, but it is recommended. In the story are indeed several times events of the previous two parts raised. It is better and more fun for the story when you know where it ringing.

You can choose to buy the entire trilogy at once, or you can choose to buy the parts separately. In the first case you lose between 25 and 30 euros. In the second case you've lost 10 per share and you pay so still 30 euros. But Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia it worth it?

Frustratiebom, but sometimes something different
The setting in Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia is intact and put down perfect. In addition, it is also playable by multiple characters a very nice addition. The relatively modern time of 1918, however, also brings some problems with it. Modern weapons make sure fights are not really possible. Therefore, the main aim in Chronicles Russia to steal and not to fight.

This is firstly to a different style of play than we're used to, but then it occasionally enormous frustration op.Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia supplies is a very good game in a nice setting, but is definitely not for everyone. Someone who wants a traditional AC with brutal action, is in the wrong. Are you open to a sneak some time different and tasty, then Russia Chronicles your game for you.
