Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection - Nintendo Switch

Love this game! And it’s definitely got everything from the previous versions. I wanted to give it 5 stars because I’m having waaaaay too much fun pirating on-the-go. But annoyingly the controls are a little clunky at times but this could just be a technical issue on switch. Either way, if you’re like me and enjoy more serious titles on the Switch. It’s a must!.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this port vs the PS4 version...Ubisoft did a good job carefully considering the compromises to get Black Flag running well on the Switch. Granted this is a first-gen PS4 game (ported from PS3/360) vs a late-game Switch title, so it really shouldn't be too much of a surprise. There is some detail pop-in at short draw distances, and the PS4 version runs at a noticeably higher frame rate (on the Pro), they're really only noticeable if you compare them side-by-side. The character models and textures look about the same, and all the spoken dialogue and shanties are present as well. My only disappointment is that Rogue isn't included on the Switch cart and it has to be downloaded...I really wish this practice would stop.

The mechanics of this game are easier than other "hard core" games that I have tried. I am not a seasoned gamer and have never played an Assassins Creed game before (I mainly like to play standard nintendo games like Smash and Animal Crossing). This was pretty easy to pick up (even though I am not particularly good at it) and the story is interesting. Definitely worth giving it a try, especially on sale. It is a first person perspective game, so it can cause motion sickness if you play it for too long and aren't used to playing video games a lot. Also, Black Flag is on the physical copy, but Rouge has to be downloaded (no additional fee, but you should make sure you have the storage space if you want to play that version).

If you love assassin's creed series, then this is the game for you. What great is that you can play this on the go! I love playing this game when I rest on my bed. No need to turn on the tv. What else is that I wanted a more mature game on the switch. There are so many game for kids age, I wish they made more of these type of games for the switch. I want to see ninja gaiden, tomb raider shadow, Madden 21, tekken, soul calibur, and other mature games on the switch please!

So far I’ve only played the Black Flag game since Rogue requires you to download the full game from the eshop. As far as the Black Flag game, it has a healthy dose of both ship and land action. My only issue so far is the difficulty with shooting and taking down other ships. Other then that, the graphics on the Nintendo Switch are good but not great on my 4K TV, but it’s still a fun game and worth trying.

For Assassin's Creed fan, this is a must have on a Switch. Black Flag is the best in the series (IMO at least) and Rogue is the same theme. Sooo, pirate time for the assassin nation. You'll not regret it. The quality of the port is great too,

It’s Black Flag and Rogue on the go! It’s great in your hands just as much as on a tv screen. At its price too, these two games are a steal. Great value.

If you want a review of the game there are many out there already, as ACIV and Rogue are well established as 2 of the best entries of the entire series. This review pertains to the quality of the port itself, which is impressive. The frame rate is rocksolid and the resolution is sharp. Full 720p handheld, dynamic 900p-1080p docked. Bonus download included- HQ pictures, videos, manga, Blackbeard’s journal... this game is chock-full of content. If every game ported to Switch was this good we wouldn’t have any problems. And as much as I do love playing The Witcher 3 portably, AC Rebel Collection really reminds you how much a sharp resolution and stable framerate can positively impact your experience. 5 stars.
