If you’ve played any of the Assassin’s Creed games then you know what to expect from The Rebel Collection. So, while Rogue isn’t amazing, it’s rather generous of them to throw it in. If Ubisoft had just released Black Flag on its own, that would have been enough. You get these two games and the Black Flag DLC Freedom Cry in this collection, so if you wanted a big bundle of Assassin’s Creed on your Switch, I’d say this is more than likely to satisfy you.

It’s fine, and if you feel the need for more Assassin action after you’re done with Black Flag, then Rogue will certainly quench your thirst for bloodshed. However, Rogue, for the most part, feels like Ubisoft made a cheap and dirty pseudo-sequel to Black Flag meant for the last generation of consoles (which at the time meant Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3). We get to see things from the Templar point of view, and there are some interesting developments. You play as a new Assassin named Shay Cormac, who over the course of the story becomes more involved with the Templars.

The other game, Assassin’s Creed Rogue, is pretty much just a bonus game packed in with Black Flag. Now, the Aminus is a glorified VR helmet, and you’re essentially a game developer digging through Assassin memories for what you think is new material for future titles, but is really intel for the Templars. It’s also the game that introduces the Abstergo Entertainment storyline, where Desmond Miles is long dead after the events of Assassin’s Creed III and his plot is mostly thrown in the trash. He attempts to exploit the Templars for his own personal gain, but soon finds himself getting in way too deep within a massive, centuries-old conflict. Black Flag’s story involves an opportunistic pirate named Edward Kenway who stumbles across the whole Assassins and Templars feud by random chance. Both of the games included in The Rebel Collection are pirate-focused affairs with lots of ship battles and plundering.
