Indeed, it's the headline act here – 2014's excellent Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – that's the star of the show in every way. However, any concerns we may have had have been roundly dismissed in short order as this is a mostly fantastic port – especially in the case of Black Flag – that manages to squeeze an absolutely massive amount of rum-soaked high-seas hijinks onto Nintendo's portable console in an impressively smooth fashion and with nary a bug in sight. We may be forgiven then, perhaps, for having not been overly optimistic about this pirate-flavoured Rebel Collection which brings together Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag – arguably the very pinnacle of the "classic" Assassin's Creed games pre- Origins and Odyssey – and Assassin's Creed Rogue, the PS3/Xbox 360 title which is pretty much Black Flag 2 in all but name.


It's been patched since – and plays a considerably better game for it – but upon release, it was pretty much a buggy, blurry shambles with a stuttering framerate and a pretty big disappointment for Assassin's Creed fans. Back in May this year, we reviewed Assassin's Creed III Remastered for Switch and didn't have a great deal good to say about it.
