    Controls on PC are stupid, trading missions in a hub is overcomplicated, missions with your friends in the village are super boring, few sequences in a modern days were bugged, horse is behaving very strangely with that boost, that lasts 2 seconds, but you cannot press it one more time already after, and the sound of that horse, when you cannot press boost is super exasperating.

Feathers are stupid collectibles, all woods locations are the same, as cities themselves. Points of interest on a map don't show themselves if you're in a different region, the remastered version made the game look even worse, the main protagonist is stupid as f**k, naval missions are being played like under the crack, or smth, and overall this is the worst game in series (yes, I played them all, except mirage, ofc), and the worse game I've ever played (over 100 titles).

    I played the remastered version of this game. Whilst the updated graphics are alright the overall gameplay is not.

Combat sequences are unsatisfying and really comes down to clicking the mouse and hoping for a good outcome. A few weird bugs along the way do nothing to dispel the overall feeling of "meh".

    All in all, one of the least enjoyable and for my money, poorly designed games in the series.    … Expand

    I have played some AC games way back in the day on PS3. This is a free drop from Ubisoft Connect. The fundimental flaw of all AC games is that I am playing a game within a game.

    A fun game with an okay story, however it fails to live up to the Ezio trilogy in all aspects, therefore viewed as a disappointment among many players. Combat is clunky, story is okay but rather stop-start and the three-hour prologue was the high point.

    Finally finished this **** game after 10 years (preordered the deluxe version back in the day). First of all, a great idea from Ubisoft that makes users lose access to the DLC after shutting down the server.

Such an anti-consumer decision, but after all these years it is hardly any surprise from Ubisoft. As for the game itself, this was where this franchise went downhill. It is a mess full of bugs, typical ubi stuff. Gameplay-wise, rather than an assassin, it feels more like playing as a berserker, it is just easier to fight groups of enemies and start kill streaks. The story and characters are meh, nothing memorable. Back in the day ubisoft was my favorite game company. But I guess nothing stays forever.… Expand

    Worst AC game and possibly ones of the worst AAA games of all time. It takes you 8 hours until you can play as actual main character and before you reach that, you have to do mindless, extremely difficult and boring missions. Locations look boring and lifeless and empty. Even when you finally reach to main character, there's hardly anything to do in this game.

    The whole story primarily focuses on: The American Revolution, and dumb **** assassinations which you'll never even put note in your mind and won't even motivates you to kill the others.

    The story is boring. It's the same, chase-and-kill a Templar, You just kill each member of Haytham's members, uncover their true meaning, and like i said, it won't motivates you to kill the others.    The whole story primarily focuses on: The American Revolution, and dumb **** assassinations which you'll never even put note in your mind and won't even motivates you to kill the others.

    The story is boring.
    It's the same, chase-and-kill a Templar, You just kill each member of Haytham's members, uncover their true meaning, and like i said, it won't motivates you to kill the others. Because that's the same thing on what happens on every AC game ever. It's predictable. "Oh, I am dying, I only joined the Templars because we want to do something better in the world." It makes Rogue a better game, because you actually be the opposite, and uncover what's the true meaning of the Assassins, are they also doing the same, or they are not doing the same or instead are they liberating or defeating?

    And literally, The most boring part of the whole entire game is tailing missions: go and follow this random dude in New York because he counter-feit a random storeowner. The tailing missions have no point, because suddenly they tell you something about Charles Lee. How does the man even represent Charles Lee? I would love to see Connor killing the guy and seeing a Templar Cross on the body, or seeing a glimpse of the Templar Cross, then that gives me a reason why i should tail him.

    Let me tell you, visual presentations are amazing, they are great. The game mechanics are horrible.
    Because whenever i press D, to go and jump to that wall or roof, Connor just jumps out of the building, There was this one time that I had to speedrun a certain mission to light up a tower, then just jumping out of the building from where I was suppose to.

    AI, they are annoying.
    They have expert precision, because when you're in airborne, the bullet would hit you and you fall down, then face 15 commanders, and then you're dead in under 10 seconds.

    The combat is still the same.
    Ubisoft didn't do anything stylish in the normal attacks, (although they did let you break defense a enemy and kill him after doing that 2 times.) and gave the most basic finishing move that a 3 year old could do. Counter-attacks are the only stylish finishing move, especially what they did in double counter-attack mechanic, It has a great visual presentation.

    The game has potential, and yet Ubisoft didn't do anything innovative in the game or ground-breaking. It's the same game, just like COD.    … Expand

    Assassin’s Creed III proves to be, despite its promises, a rather indecisive game. It comes with so many strong elements, that it could have been the best Assassin’s Creed ever, but it fails to harmonically balance those elements. [January 2013]

    What, no French revolution? For Europeans, birth of the United States is not really very interesting time nor environment. And after Ezio (or Haytham Kenway), Connor is bland, irritating protagonist. Game is also full of chores that add very little to the experience. [Jan 2013]
