History YMMV / AssassinsCreedChronicles

* CriticalResearchFailure: The English voice actors' pronunciation of Chinese names leaves much to be desired. Apparently nobody coached them on [[UsefulNotes/WhyMaoChangedHisName pinyin pronunciation rules.]]

* DarthWiki/MostAnnoyingSound: Some of the {{Mook}} [[WelcomeToCorneria dialogue]] in between missions gets very grating. Quickly. The voice actors' acting doesn't really help- if only because it just repeats in ''every single mission!''

'''Guard 1''': Keep your wits about you.\\
'''Guard 2''': And you yours, you're meant to be watching my back.
-->'''Guard 1''': I'll watch yours, just make sure you're watching mine.

** In general, many feel that the Chronicles trilogy's 2D approach is missing the point of the entire series, i.e. the cool locations and monuments, famous events to participate and witness, and the architecture to climb and parkour around, all of which work better in 3D environments than the game's 2D. The settings of the three games in particular are regarded by many to be ideal for a full major release rather than 2D platform titles.

* CompleteMonster: [[SoftSpokenSadist Zhang Yong]] serves as the BigBad of the [[ArcVillain ''China'' installment]] and proves to be this subseries's [[EvilOldFolks most evil character]]. Serving as the leader of the Eight Tigers, a powerful organization within the [[KnightTemplar Templar Order]] that controls the Chinese Imperial Court; he had gotten this position by assassinating the Zhengde Emperor and [[FrameUp framing]] its previous leader, Liu Jin, for the deed, condemning him to a [[CruelAndUnusualDeath slow and painful execution]] dubbed "DeathOfAThousandCuts" [[note]]Also called "Ling Chi" in Chinese [[/note]] lasting for two days straight. Assuming control of the Eight Tigers, Zhang Yong [[TheChessmaster proceeds]] to [[TheManBehindTheMan manipulate]] the newly-appointed Jiajing Emperor to [[ThePurge eradicate the entire Assassin Brotherhood in China]], with only [[PlayerCharacter Shao Jun]] and her mentor escaping the onslaught. When they return, Zhang Yong decides [[BadBoss to leave the other members of the Eight Tigers at their mercy]] while proceeding to burn a harbor and then the Forbidden City, casually killing innocents along the way, all because Shao Jun just happens to be at those areas; he later kills her mentor himself. When Shao Jun manages to survive all those attempts and chases Zhang Yong down to TheGreatWall, the latter decides to allow [[BarbarianTribe The Mongolians]] to destroy the wall and [[RapePillageAndBurn invade China]], reasoning that should the country fall, at least he won't be to blame for its destruction.

** The Koh-I-Noor diamond in ''Brahman'' was a MineralMcGuffin that hosted Durga and is cursed to torment any male wielder of the object. In the game the diamond is merely a general object with none of its powers and deeper mythology developed further in the game.

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Critics have noted that the gameplay is clearly attempting to ape ''VideoGame/MarkOfTheNinja'', with many deducting points for it

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Many people feel that Shao Jun's story and the overall setting and locations should have been a full 3D game and feel that Ubisoft wasted it on a side-game.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus of the ''Chronicles'' spin-offs. They're seen as perfectly competent, if not wholly original, stealth games.

* InformedWrongness [=/=] ConceptsAreCheap: The game keeps stating that Shao Jun's vengeance will consume her and Shao Jun [[spoiler:blames her quest for revenge for her Mentor's death. Except at no time during the game did Shao Jun ever violate the creed or compromise her mission for personal vengeance, her master dies independently of any action she took, indeed she was performing a mission given to her by her Shifu, and yet she keeps blaming herself unfairly. Stating vengeance is bad without showing how the character is blindsided by it is a failing of this game]].
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Critics have noted that the gameplay is too much like VideoGame/MarkOfTheNinja and does not really fit in with the franchise on the whole.
* SoOkayItsAverage: The general consensus of Chronicles, atleast the China portion that's out now. Time will tell if the other entries will improve upon it.

* BestLevelEver: The OutrunTheFireball scenario that is ''China'''s Sequence 5. Jun runs through the burning Macau port, dropping the stealth of previous chapters to take down loads of enemies with the player's newly acquired Slide Assassinate and Jump Assassinate abilities in a spectacular escape sequence.
