Similarly, fights are liable to descend into a flurry of button-tapping counters which see Shay dragged wildly across the screen. It doesn't happen all of the time but frequently enough to break the fantasy of being a skilled and stealthy killer. And every time I got back on my ship I accidentally kneed one of my loyal crew members in the face. Free running here feels haphazard – you’ll accidentally jump at right-angles to your intended destination or plunge into water when land is within reach.

Rogue’s mechanical and structural shortcomings are only intensified if you played Origins, which did so much to advance the series in terms of combat and movement, mission pacing and variety. While the visuals have improved, little else has. Cast aside by those he once called brothers, Shay sets out on a mission to wipe out all who turned against him, to ultimately become the most feared Assassin. In terms of visuals alone, this could easily be a new release. If I hadn't already played Rogue four years ago, I'd be surprised to learn it originally came out on last-gen consoles. While most locations still feel underwhelming once you step on land, there's no shortage of beauty to be found at sea. Rogue running in 4K on an Xbox one X looks impressive.

That said, the setting definitely benefits the most in this new version. New York and some of the more extreme Arctic locations add a little bit of flavour, but let's be honest it's not as exciting as sliding down a pyramid. I realise I may incite the anger of fans of the Seven Years' War (sorry), but pottering around the frigid Atlantic ocean and its coastal towns and forts make for a pretty dreary ten or so hours. Cormac's tale is consistently intriguing, packed with ambiguity and betrayal, but there's no hiding the fact it's set in a pretty dull period of history.
