Hey everyone 💫 Today I want to talk about a mission that stuck in my mind — “The Mole.” I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed Rogue for a while now, and I feel like I’m finally getting used to the controls. Believe me, it was a rough start. My boyfriend wouldn’t stop teasing me every time I pressed the wrong button or fell off a rooftop. But hey, progress is progress — now I actually look like I know what I’m doing!
There’s something really satisfying about the rhythm of this game once you stop fighting against it. It’s like dancing, but with hidden blades and fewer graceful moves. Shay feels heavier than other assassins I’ve seen before, but I like that — it makes every fight feel grounded, like there’s real weight behind each strike.
This mission starts with Shay and Liam working together again, and honestly, I’m beginning to love their dynamic. There’s this subtle friendship, like brothers who understand each other’s silences. Liam has this calm confidence, while Shay still feels torn between loyalty and doubt. Watching that tension grow makes the story so much more personal for me.
I remember reaching the part where we had to infiltrate and uncover the mole. Everything about that section felt tense and cold — the snow, the silence, the creeping suspicion in every corner. I caught myself slowing down just to enjoy the atmosphere, even when I was supposed to be focused on the mission. It’s strange, but Rogue makes you want to explore instead of rush. Every corner feels like it hides a secret, and maybe that’s what keeps me hooked.
Then came my favorite part — the ships. I swear, the moment I saw the ocean open up before me, I smiled like a kid. The waves, the wind, the creaking sound of the hull... it all felt so alive. I spent a while just sailing around, not even following the mission, just enjoying the sound of the sea. There’s a kind of peace in that, you know? It’s like the world stops for a second.
Of course, I couldn’t resist upgrading my ship a little. Nothing too crazy — just some basic improvements to the hull and cannons. But wow, what a difference! The first time I entered naval combat after that, I felt unstoppable. The explosions, the smoke, the chaos of ships clashing in the middle of the storm… it was brutal and beautiful at the same time.
There’s something almost poetic about the sea in Assassin’s Creed Rogue. It’s both freedom and danger — just like Shay himself. You can feel how the ocean becomes a mirror of his inner conflict. I didn’t expect to feel that kind of connection with a game like this, especially since I started playing it just to please my boyfriend (don’t tell him I said that). But here I am, genuinely loving every second of it.
I guess that’s what gaming is all about — finding beauty in unexpected places, even in a storm, even while you’re still learning which button does what.
So yeah, “The Mole” might not be the flashiest mission, but it’s the one that reminded me why I play games in the first place: for those quiet moments of discovery between the chaos. For the thrill of the unknown, and that tiny spark of pride when you finally get it right.
Until next time — I’ll keep sailing, learning, and probably falling overboard once or twice more. 🌊💀 See you, assassins!
