    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]

However, I still do have some problems with this DLC. Not too much content, bullsh*t story, easy achievments (on the XBOX) etc. The easily best thing about this DLC is the reward cutscene for collecting the memory fragments, something like The Truth in ACII. If you have the Freedom edition and you have read the Washington diary, you will have understood the logic behind this DLC (better than no logic at all, right?). Expand

It's definitely worth the price, and I'd even go ahead to say that it's better than the main campaign. You're given 3 animal powers total, 1 each episode, and it blends in really well with the gameplay, and level design. Get this! Expand

    The "Tyranny of King Washington: The Betrayal" DLC for Assassin's Creed III, like the other DLCs, is no longer playable due to Ubisoft'sThe "Tyranny of King Washington: The Betrayal" DLC for Assassin's Creed III, like the other DLCs, is no longer playable due to Ubisoft's decision to restrict access to the content. 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.
