Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is free today from Ubisoft

Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is a 2D spinoff of the Assassin's Creed series with some "pleasingly hefty melee combat" and a heavy focus on stealth, similar to Mark of the Ninja but very good in its own right. We scored it 83/100 in our 2015 review, calling it a "refreshingly pared back" take on the series. And today, it is yours for the taking from Ubisoft.
