Okay, let's begin with some basic stuff. You can only say that you think this game is good or bad. You can also compare it to China, but that's all. You cannot compare it to other Assassin's Creed games, like Unity. It's a different type of game, 2.5D, so there is no meanful comparison to first person ACs.

Now, if you liked China, you'll definitely like this one (unless you only like female assassins). I can see improvement to many areas: artwork is even more outstanding, graphics look better as well as the colours, cities feel more alive and the whole environment gives more options and space to discover. There is also a map. In addition, you can now change control buttons (huge problem with China). As for the rest, story is good, creativity is needed, movement in depth looks amazing.

Let's now pass to the things they did not improve (and maybe there is no reason to). Gameplay is much about the same. I had found China ridiculously difficult, having a hard time once I had to battle. Same thing here. Controls may be editable now, but the amount of enemies coming when the alarm starts, their high reaction speed, in combination with the extremely low level of life you are given, makes it a nightmare to win a battle (even in normal) and averts you from starting it (even by accident). But, maybe that's the point. Because now you can take advantage of all these assassins' skills that have been forgotten since Altair and Ezio. Hidding, eagle vision, smokes, whistling, stealth kills and many more. That's what this game exhorts you to do. And I believe they have done a great job on that. Movement is smooth and gives many potentials. Of course there are certain things to get fixed, but we have to understand that these two ACs require a different approach and much more patience, counterbalancing the shorter content.

Overall, Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: India offers a pretty enjoyable experience at a very low price. The game is very well developed and gives an interesting perspective to the AC family. So, use the tools you have been given, climb some walls, save valuable items and people, hide at any possible place, kill without getting spotted, and avoid combat by any cost. Have fun!
