positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thankfully, Russia is the final entry in the weak and frustrating Assassin’s Creed Chronicles trilogy, proving once again that there’s no need to play any of the games When I [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/dreamylotus/recommended/354380/]reviewed Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, the first game in the trilogy, I called it “aggressively mediocre”, full of “missed opportunities” and offering “way too limited options in order to feel actually rewarding”. I then went on to play and [url=…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is the 3rd game in the Assassin's Creed Chronicles series, a side-scrolling platformer. While previous installments featured weapons like daggers and chakrams tailored to each setting, this installment introduces new equipment such as rifles and mechanical wrenches, as well as sniper points, providing a fresh feel not seen in previous Assassin's Creed games. Cutscenes and stages are mostly composed of rigid straight lines and black and red colors, reminiscent of the intense atmosphere…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some of the timed events are not well calibrated costing too many times of repeated unnecessary attempts that's a little too much for normal difficulty. This game needs more rigorous pre-sale testing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →of the chronicles games, this is by far the worst. i highly recommend china and india, they are fantastic. but, this game's level design is both bad and difficult. you'll likely end up playing it if you want to play the entire series, but just be ready for an awful experience.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you love frustration, poor level design, unfair obstacles, and trial and error runs until you just so happen to get lucky, then this game is for you! You sadist.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WHEN I BUY A GAME ON STEAM! STEAM I DONT WANT TO USE UPLAY TO PLAY MY GAME, IT EVEN DOESNT WORK ♥♥♥♥ OFF ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just like the other entries into the Chronicles era of Assassin's Creed, Russia is nothing but a bland and relatively unimaginative side-scroller/platformer game with the same reskinned mechanics as the last two games. Not really worth the time it takes to download it, and certainly not worth any of your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool historical setting and lore for the Assassin's/Templar war wasted on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Mark of the Ninja clone that Ubisoft couldn't even balance. Timed segments, for THE THIRD TIME IN A ROW suck ♥♥♥♥. Chase sequences with precise platforming a third time continue to suck ♥♥♥♥. I'm sure if Climax had more time and balance passes they could've made this trilogy tolerable, but the LittleBigPlanet-esque plane format for 2.5D simply doesn't work. At least they showed that a "modern" Assassin's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice graphics and nice story writing but if you die to many times because of how hard it is all i can say is skill issue
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s unfortunate because the story and setting are really good. However, my experience was tainted because of the hellacious difficulty. I’m walking through the stage, a guard suddenly turns and blasts me with his rifle. I’m sneaking through a station. I’m supposed to blend in and not get caught. After 50 retries I realize I am supposed to use “Helix Powers” to hide myself and run past the enemy. I’m fighting other assassins but I can’t kill them or alert them. I push a button to hide…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is better than Chronicles: India for sure. It still has all the same problems as ACC India, but at least the gadgets, the story, the art direction, and the variety of gameplay elevates it way above ACC India (which is the worst game of the 3). The game has some really fun moments, with the sniping moments being particularly interesting. The big problem with these games are that they are just so unfair and unforgiving with even the smallest mistake, it spoils the fun half the time.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The most challenging of the Chronicles series, the most infuriating, but also the most varied and fun if you liked the past iterations. Don’t expect anything revolutionary though, pun intended. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3527036098
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I actually enjoyed this game, despite the reviews saying otherwise, not sure why but I just found it really fun and a generally interesting game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game felt like a chore. The difficulty levels spike too much. I have played the other two ACC games, and knew not to expect some superb story or character. Gameplay is what I enjoyed about the other two games, but the gameplay of this one was not fun. Only completing the game because leaving a game, especially this short, in between is against my character.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Found the sequences to be more frustrating than fun, I really like the 2.5D game design, but wish it was a bit more forgiving during some sequences.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Amazing game the best 2.5D assassins creed game in my opinion
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Too oversimplified, from gameplay to story.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the Assassin's Creed Chronicles games with the whole Assassin's Creed games bundle. Don't know what i was expecting from these games. Maybe a good and fun side scrolling game? This ain't it chief. The controls are so awful and slugish i just had to stop. It's kinda sad since i started playing all the Assassin's Creed games in order of release date. Guess i'm not going to count these as actual games and just think of them as mobile games ported to pc, because that's what they feel like and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Best Game in the Trilogy Yet Horrendously Frustrating Pros: Story takes place in the civil war era of Soviet Russia, just after the revolution. Orelov is a much better character than the previous protagonists. Visually and thematically, it is a great game. I would really like to see a major title based in this setting. When compared to China and India, they improved the story and gameplay rather significantly, where the bar wasn’t really high to begin with. The addition of the winch…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy replaying the same stupid level 50 times because you pressed the button 1ms earlier or later, then that is the game for you (I hate those devs)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →📅 Date Completed: May 26, 2023 🏆 C-Tier Game TL;DR: I disagree with the Steam reviews that have this as the weakest of the three games in the AC Chronicles trilogy. I think this has a slightly better story, more varied missions, and combat improvements. Still very much a stealth-focused game but has the most gameplay depth of the three. 🎮 Gameplay & Mechanics This is an improvement over both ACC China and ACC India in nearly every way. The addition of guns adds more variety to combat,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was definitely the weakest of the AC Chronicles Trilogy. I really enjoyed the story and thought it was the best of the three but those game mechanics man... This game was significantly more difficult than past installments and not in a fun way. So much trial and error, especially if you were trying to get gold medals in each section. The game also felt combative to the player immediately breaking the rule that it just taught you. If you were in a section where you had to patiently…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A boring, tedious, frustrating, and insanely difficult game that's barely worth the price of the sale. I tried to hard to like this game because I was excited to know more about Daniel Cross's ancestor, Nikolai Orelov, but I was just left agitated and annoyed. By the third mission I had completely given up caring about the score of my mission and just started doing whatever I needed to just get these annoying missions out of the way. That train level should be used as an example in level design…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Many of the reviews I have seen for this game seem reasonable: it does rely mostly on trial and error, the controls can be unreliable at times, and the story reminds us of The Last of Us. I don't mind playing lighter games like this every once in a while. Don't pay full price for this. I would say wait for a good sale and then have fun. It is decently enjoyable and that is why we play games anyway.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia I love how this game looks. The art style is clearly inspired by Soviet political posters, and honestly, it works REALLY well. The characters, atmosphere and overall visual style are probably the strongest parts of the game. Unfortunately... The game itself is a nightmare. Art style and atmosphere Visually, Russia is probably my favorite of the Chronicles games. The Soviet inspired art style fits the setting perfectly. Everything has this cold,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A 2D Assassin stealth game. The story seems okay, but I never finished it, because the controls drove me away. Movement feels incomprehensible and using items is clunky enough to ruin tense stealth moments. That alone made me stop playing. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, including Assassin's Creed fans.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very bad design, annoying and boring. Unnecessary
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia offers a noticeably different interpretation of the Assassin’s Creed formula, transforming the familiar combination of stealth, assassination, historical fiction, and parkour into a tightly structured 2.5D action-stealth adventure. Developed by Climax Studios in collaboration with Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft, the game focuses less on freely exploring a historical city and more on navigating carefully designed environments where positioning,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ubisoft balanced this game with their ♥♥♥♥♥ and balls, how the ♥♥♥♥ was this even approved
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It`s FULL OF ♥♥♥♥! Controlls are VERY BAD made, you die from a SINGLE ♥♥♥♥♥♥` shot instead of having a health bar or some lives above your head and SO MUCH MORE. Do NOT buy this game ! it pisses you off, it gives you cancer and it can ruin your whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥` day after you thought you had a good one. This game is pretty old I get that, but I had to write this.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia : 30/100 This game has so many scripted missions you won't be feeling like you are the who's in control! So many Missions are scripted and not just the missions but in-mission activities are too scripted! I've no idea what the developer had in mind while making this game but it's unbearable and unplayable for me! I somehow finished it but not proud a single bit. This game made me furious and now I really can't play any video game 'cause I've fed up! This game…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With two engaging heroes, a solid story and some great new gadgets and mechanics. Its difficulty and some tiresomely rigid insta-fail level designs. I didnt enjoy this one as much as i enjoyed china. This one was fun if you havent touched the chronicles series but if you have you may find this one kinda bad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First playthrough review time. Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia concludes the trilogy with the 2.5D stealth action gameplay from the previous titles and adds some gunplay for variety. The levels are short and linear, and they require precise movement and timing to complete. Compared to the main Assassin's Creed games, the experience remains focused and structured, with a few new gameplay features to set it apart from the first two entries. The game alternates between two characters, each…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another crummy AC chronicles
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game stressed me a lot. I play AC for relaxation. But these series are hard, if you die you start from the checkpoint again, you are not almighty as in other AC series. Actually you are weak. Play only if you like to make suffer youself. I hope there is special place on hell for developers of this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's ok. I like the art style. I sort of wish there was a middle review option. Not a bad game but nothing to write home about
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is definitely the game that destroyed this trilogy, I looked forward to it so much, great setting, nice noir feeling but... The difficulty of this game is so high at times without any logic, a lot of trial and error and in the end you manage to dodge those lights on the bridge by luck after 50 trials. Whoever designed that part...mate I hope you never get to make the big decisions in game design ever again. This is the game that could have been but it isn't... I definitely do not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →absoutly awesome game everyone should play
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a weird entry into the Assassin's Creed franchise. I understand that these games were ported from another platform but there are some really basic controller/settings issues that I wasn't able to resolve just to play the game. Once I did sort through the technical issues I found an interesting concept for a game but something I just don't think fits with Assassin's Creed. There are legitimately some really interesting stealth/sneak missions in this game but it is constantly riddled…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The third game of the sad Chronicles trilogy. I didn't enjoy the previous two games much. They both had very bad input recognization. And they both had simply 'horrible' controls. It was also almost impossible to rebind them. Did they fix these issues with Rusia? Well, no. Of course they didn't fix them, It's the same. The previous two at least have great visuals. Russia looks unique too, but not that much. In comparison to the India, It's a step down. The story also just feels a bit less…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I REALLY hoped that I would enjoy at least one of the Chronicles titles...but alas, to no avail as this fails quite miserably as well. It actually started off quite promisingly. What Ubisoft mucked up in terms of story in the previous two (especially India) they did quite well here. this was the first story in Chronicles I felt invested in. The MC's motivations as a family man and a father's overprotectiveness work well to explain his motivations, the posession by shao Jun provided a nice…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Originally though it would be a good one, despite the inferior graphics. But there are way too many places in the game where you have to do, not split second, but split tenth of a second actions, or you die. You will find yourself failing and repeating again and again, and you will curse so much (I did) ... Out of the 3 chronicles games, India is the best, China is ok, and this one avoid.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Stay away from this piece of ♥♥♥♥. This game sucks ♥♥♥♥ and the developers should be ashamed to let this one slip through the cracks and release in this state.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not recommended, very pixelated, non sense game, nothing to do with asssain creed old. definitely not a recommandation try to avoid
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've now beaten the Chronicles Trilogy, and for me this one gets second place just because I really disliked India, the story is pretty interesting, specially with the Russian revolution happening in the background, with a couple historical figures appearing, but also is a lot shorter than China or India and even rushed as well, I actually liked the sniping sections but they were definitely a device to move the story quickly, the dual protagonists are cool though, the story while not…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The other chronicles games relied on game mechanics introduced as you played through the game, this relies on simply huge numbers of failures before you can find all the hidden game mechanics that are never talked about. Huge parts of it are not the stealth assassin creed you may be looking for. The stages that simply run, jump at the right times are the worst, I have to jump at the right time while the character and platform are obscured by an explosion! Great game play mechanic. We got…
