[Análisis] Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection for Nintendo Switch – iGamesNews.com

Nintendo Switch continues to receive with new open arms ports of Assassin's Creed that Wii U already saw on its day. A few months ago we had Assassin's Creed III Remastered, which included the title Liberation, unpublished to date on Nintendo consoles. On this occasion we will return to the Caribbean seas in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and for the first time we will approach the Seven Years' War in its direct sequel, Assassin's Creed: Rogue, in a pack that has all the DLCs for a single player that were released in his day, and, of course, with a complete dubbing to the Spanish.

Expired Entertainment

We are talking about two games that were born in the years 2013 and 2014 in which the pass of the time. In general they have good packaging, but the animations of the characters and animals are the ones that have worsened as well as some of their mechanical.

As news in these versions we have the implementation of: motion control -Very useful when shooting with guns or cannons-, of the touch controls – ideal for navigating maps and menus- and the HD vibration, although the latter is poorly inspired – how appropriate it would have been to be able to feel the resistance of the waves when sailing and not only when receiving cannon shots or crossing the ice!

Where it mostly stands out in the artistic section The Rebel Collection is in the journeys enlivened with salomas and cetaceans to those who harpoon or icebergs to destroy by those seas that contemplate all the shades of greens and blues that you can dream of. And when we set foot on the ground, the realistic constructions in its warm cities and the nights of auroras and full moon also stand out. But the naval battles are not entirely accurate, the Parkour Although it is dynamic and well designed, it is not completely versatile by allowing you to climb only through areas that have been designed for that purpose, and for some reason the evil being who decides to add levels of diving In the games it is also present on this occasion. However, within its limitations, we can find some truly thrilling and skillfully constructed scenes.

As usual, I miss the possibility of save game in any circumstance, although the game is overwritten on the same file regularly since its gameplay is organized following a series of short duration missions Perfect for playing on laptop. In each of them we will find different mechanics and ways of dealing with situations: between stealth, escorts and persecutions, mini-games are also interspersed to improve resources and some puzzles. Unfortunately, despite the great world that was built for both stories, the marked objectives at all times and dependence on the mini-map prevent enjoying some adventures with capital letters

since they invite you to go from a point A to a point B without stopping to think, adding to it that the "varied" missions end up being done repetitive. But, as I say, they are titles of five years ago and the industry has evolved since then to offer gre ater and better possibilities of interaction although the saga still remains anchored in that linearity that characterizes it .

Reality as a savior of fiction

The protagonists of The Rebel Collection do not overflow charisma and their mobiles do not just arouse interest, but thanks to them we can know superficially the background of other characters that end up rounding the plot, touching topics such as slavery or the presence of the woman in the world of piracy, counting as always with a nice cast of historical figures recognized. On the other hand, the present frames they continue to flirt rightly with the concept of meta-videogame, although its references to previous deliveries can move it away from the public, it is not close to the saga. And to complete the narrative, every time a new location or element is discovered, a huge amount of information historical – or extension of the lore – to the database It serves as a complement to a saga that has always stood out for its good documentation. It may not be the most attractive way to deal with it … but it will always be better than swallowing a story book of 4th of ESO … And this time many of the definitions are full of humor.

He DLC more remarkable is the additional story, Scream of Freedom, from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, which recovers Hazel, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III Liberation. But we can also download a free sleeve and one novel of the pirates' title – yes, they are in English and they are uncomfortable to read both on television and in portable mode. Finally it has a Gallery of images with illustrations and a couple of trailers.
