A trip to India you may or may not forget...

Great platforming l Stunning backgrounds l Value for money

Dull story and characters l Repetitive level design l Clunky combat

Though it doesn't stand up to the franchise's grander releases, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia is a fun and thoughtful stealth experience, easily the best to bear the Chronicles name.

Well-paced; satisfying stealth; A decent variety of tools and environments keep the experience fresh and engaging; A story that does more than set up the next stabbing; and a genuinely surprising twist

Getting punished for daring to fight; Timed missions that are needlessly nitpicky; All upgrades being tied to exceptional performance

Bold and distinct art style; Fluid gameplay

Muted color scheme wears thin fast; Clumsy story; Generic enemies and obstacles

Gorgeous 2.5D graphics; plenty of check points for inevitable failures

Some of the levels are frustrating and even timed
