    Story might be getting a low priority in The Tyranny of King Washington, but at least The Betrayal lets you transform into invisible animals to better hunt your prey. At the very least, it makes Assassin’s Creed 3 fresh again.

    And it's not like Tyranny has intrigue to spare. The very promising core idea here—George Washington as king and maniac—hasn't really spawned any amazing storytelling or clever historical twists. Oddly enough, we've seen very little of King Washington himself, though presumably he'll be the boss of Episode 3.

    Even if the final chapter justifies the journey, this leg of it is sadly lifeless. [June 2013, p.97]

This unfortunate move has left players unable to experience the DLC, even if they had previously purchased it, which is undoubtedly frustrating and disappointing.

    As for the DLC itself, I was not particularly fond of it, as was the case with its predecessor. I encountered various game-breaking bugs and glitches during my playthrough of this second episode, something that I hadn't experienced in the original game. Additionally, I found the optional objectives to be significantly more challenging than in the main game, because of the bugs, making it a frustrating experience at times.

    The storyline presented in this second episode was, unfortunately, more average than its predecessor. While the gameplay benefited from the inclusion of superpowers, as seen in the first episode, the narrative felt disconnected from the main story. It appeared as if Connor's character had transformed and no longer questioned the events unfolding in this alternate reality, leaving us with a narrative that felt like filler content rather than a meaningful addition to the overarching plot.

    Moreover, the lack of a strong connection to the main storyline and the limited moments of reveal from the actual story left me feeling indifferent towards the events in this DLC. As a result, the content became less engaging and less meaningful to me as a player.

    In conclusion, while "Tyranny of King Washington: The Betrayal" initially held promise with its inclusion of superpowers and unique premise, my experience with the DLC was overshadowed by game-breaking issues and a narrative that felt disconnected from the core Assassin's Creed plot. With Ubisoft's decision to restrict access to the DLC, I can no longer recommend it, and the lack of accessibility only adds to the disappointment surrounding this content.    … Full Review »

It takes place in an illusion where Washington has taken the mantle of the king and has become a tyrant. He holds the Apple of Eden and bends every other persons mind to do his bidding. The pyramid and the huge ships in the middle of New York is a great addition to the map. Connor gets some superpowers which help him call animals for help instead of Assassin which I liked. The NPC don't remember anything from the past and their take and interaction with Connor feels real. Its a good DLC, worth your time.… Full Review »
