It's another year, and it's "Assassin's Creed". "Assassin's Creed: The Heroes" in London is the first time the series adopts a dual-leading design, but can this innovation sweep the decline of the series? Before playing the game, let's see what foreign media said.
Gamespot—9/10
The awkward operation and disappointing final battle cannot conceal the charm of Assassin's Creed: The Hero. This work marks the series' successful return and presents us with a beautiful story to experience with our heart and soul. - Alexa Ray Corriea
Polygon—8.5/10
Assassin's Creed: The Hero is a successful work: it swept away all the problems accumulated in the series over the past eight years, and it has some breakthroughs as a sequel, combining the game with history, which is impressive. Of course, this game is not without shortcomings. It does not solve all the problems of the series. However, I don’t think any game can do this. This game took the first step towards the bright future a few years after the series was born. - Phil Kollar
IGN—8.2/10
Assassin's Creed: The Hero is the most interesting series I have ever played since Black Flag, and I think this game is more fun. However, its ending is a bit unsatisfactory. There are many possibilities for the Victorian setting, but the production team did not carefully consider these possibilities. - Daniel Krupa
VedioGamer—5/10
When the AI performance in the game is normal and the game runs smoothly, this game is still very good. However, due to the various problems of Assassin's Creed: The Heroes themselves, it is impossible to enjoy the fun of the game. Whether it is the frustration brought by the game mechanism or the inexplicable bugs, it is constantly weakening the good experience of the game. Perhaps the Victorian high restoration (of course you can't get anywhere in the game) can make you forget the flaws of the game for the time being. But after you calm down and play for a while, you will find that just like its predecessors, this game is still a boring game in a gorgeous coat. - Burns
Eurogamer—Recommended
The Hero has impressive characters and plots, and it also makes efforts on how to regain the fun of the series. Fortunately, London in this work and the sense of freedom it brings have been fully conveyed. - Tom Phillips
Xbox Achievements—80/100
Assassin's Creed: The Heroes perfectly created a Victorian time for us, and the game also has interesting stories and gameplay. London has never been more fascinating. - Richard Walker
GamesRadar—4/5
This work combines the series with the story of the new assassin through double narratives. "The Hero" not only tries to present us with a wonderful story, but also provides us with the best settings in the series. While it is not perfect, The Owls’s reappearance of London, portrayal of characters, and improvements to stealth and combat systems make us feel like the Assassin’s Creed series is heading in the right direction. - Louise Blain
