Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China
A 2.5D stealth-action spinoff where you play as Shao Jun, a Chinese assassin trained by Ezio, in 16th-century Ming China. Stripped-down mechanics and a short runtime make it a lean side entry for AC fans.
GamerScout Verdict
A compact stealth jaunt for AC diehards willing to accept a stripped-down experience in exchange for a 5-hour commitment.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China
I went in expecting another bloated Assassin's Creed experience and found something refreshingly compact instead. Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China ditches the open-world formula entirely, pivoting to a 2.5D perspective with linear level design that channels classic stealth games more than the mainline series. You control Shao Jun as she works her way through Ming China, using shadow mechanics, assassination chains, and parkour moves on a fixed plane. It's all very deliberate and methodical - if you want to ghost a level, the tools are there, but alarms are punishing. The catch: this isn't a deep experience. The campaign runs maybe 4-5 hours, combat encounters feel rigid compared to proper stealth alternatives, and the fixed camera angle occasionally makes navigation clunky. But if you're a diehard AC lore nerd or just want a bite-sized stealth game that respects your time, it delivers exactly what it promises. It's not trying to be Dishonored or Splinter Cell, and that honesty is refreshing.
