Chronicles: Russia will feature the Russian assassin Nikolai Orelov in 1918, during the aftermath of the October Revolution. Orelov wants to leave with his family, but is required to perform one last mission for the Assassin Order: infiltrate the house where the Tsar's family is being held by the Bolsheviks, and steal an artifact that has been fought over by Assassins and Templars for centuries.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyFeb 20164.5/5 starsIt's different, it's creative, it's stark, and I loved every second of it. I do hope that the trilogy has been enough of a commercial success that Climax can be recruited to build more of these, because I do love the modus operandi; taking more "obscure" periods of history and then using them to frame Assassin's Creed games that simply wouldn't happen otherwise is something that I think is very worthy.

GameCrateRobert WorkmanFeb 20167.5/10While Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia isn't quite up there with the best adventures in the series, it's still the best release in the trilogy, thanks to its moody settings, its acceptable range of gameplay and its fun storytelling. You'll definitely have more fun with this one than you would the previous two games. Might as well finish up in style, right?

EGMRay CarsilloFeb 20167.5/10Shortcomings that haunt the entire series remain here, but more gameplay choices and a compelling narrative make Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia the strongest of the three Chronicles titles.

TheSixthAxisJim HargreavesFeb 20163/10When an Assassin's Creed game has you swearing under your breath more than Super Meat Boy or Dark Souls, you know that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong. Where difficulty can be used to make a game more addictive or rewarding, here it manages to sap every ounce of fun out of the experience. Factor in the copious amount of idle waiting the stealth genre entails and what you have is a frustrating game that besmirches one of the industry's biggest franchises.

Metro GameCentralFeb 20164/10Some clever visuals and a modern setting can't stop the third Chronicles game from being the least successful, even if it's the most ambitious.
