  If there's one nice thing to say about Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia, it's how lovely the game's art style is. Fashioned after old Russian propaganda posters, the whole game has this striking grey, red, and yellow look. It makes Chronicles: Russia stand out extremely well from similar games. I only wish I could say the same about the boring voice acting or the totally forgettable soundtrack as well. It seems a shame that Assassin's Creed games have made such memorable themes but Chronicles: Russia never really tries.

  Newcomers may still find fleeting joy in one of the games for being a bite sized portion of Prince of Persia-style journeys through an exotic land. But the idea of sticking around for seconds or thirds has been proven to be a fool’s errand, and that single portion turning out to be Russia would give a lackluster impression of the rest. Chronicles ends not with a bang or a whimper, but a shrug.

  If you’ve enjoyed your time with the Chronicles series, then let Russia serve as a nightcap: good as a finish to the evening, but too much of anything is liable to upset you.

  Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Russia is a reasonably fun game that fans of the series should be able to enjoy.

  6.0

  The game’s steep learning curve and trial and error style gameplay aren’t for everyone. The overuse of guns is also questionable as some elements (particularly the sniping parts) lend to losing the feel of a traditional Assassin’s Creed game. This spin-off series has had its high and low points, Assassin’s Creed Russia is decidedly on the low end.

  7.5

  Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia is the best game this offshoot series has offered up thus far. Sadly, it still falls short in ways that have plagued the series from the get-go. However, if you’ve come this far with Chronicles, at least things end better than they began, with a compelling narrative, great gameplay variety, and ingenious uses of stealth that will reward those players who have stuck around.
