What players say

88% of 26,777 reviews are positive · 77% of 177 in the last 30 days

Players praise Rome’s open world, the combat and parkour, and the system for recruiting, training, and summoning assassins. The dominant complaint is Ubisoft Connect: players report repeated password prompts, account or server errors, and being unable to launch the single-player game.
