    Even though the main character was annoying, the game endeared itself to me with its overall successful gameplay and story. Main villain of the story was also well written.

    Assassin's Creed III offers an intricate and captivating universe, building upon the legacy of its predecessors while introducing new elements to the series.

    Firstly, it's worth noting that there is a remastered version, Assassin's Creed III Remastered, which includes this game along with Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD. While I prefer the original due to the fact that the remastered    Assassin's Creed III offers an intricate and captivating universe, building upon the legacy of its predecessors while introducing new elements to the series.

    Firstly, it's worth noting that there is a remastered version, Assassin's Creed III Remastered, which includes this game along with Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD. While I prefer the original due to the fact that the remastered butchered the characters faces, I recommend playing the remaster due to certain content today only being available to play on it. Other than the bad faces, the remastered is the definitive way to play the game.

    The certain content today only available in the remastered is the singleplayer DLCs. Ubisoft has removed the access to them for everybody, although they are already bought and already owned singleplayer content, together with taking down the multiplayer servers. This move has been a significant blow to the gaming community. Despite owning the DLCs, players are now unable to play the content, creating a sense of frustration and disappointment. While it is understanding to take the multiplayer servers down after a while, already owned singleplayer DLCs should not be possible to be taken away from you. Ubisoft's actions set a concerning precedent and raise questions about the company's commitment to preserving the gaming experiences of its dedicated audience.

    The game stands as a notable improvement over its predecessors, with its enhanced graphics and fluid parkour and movement mechanics. The combat system is a true standout, offering an amazing and immersive experience that sets a new benchmark for the series. Additionally, the present-time storyline is captivating, providing a rewarding continuation of Desmond's journey and hard work.

    While some may find it different rather than worse, the transition from the beloved Ezio trilogy to a new setting and protagonist can take some adjustment. However, Assassin's Creed III's narrative offers its own unique charm and moments of greatness. Notably, the game skillfully delves into the conflicts between the Templars and Assassins, leading players to ponder which faction holds the higher moral ground. The introduction of compelling characters, including one remarkable individual, enriches the overall storytelling.

    Connor, the protagonist, carries a different persona compared to Ezio, displaying more naivety yet an unwavering dedication to doing what's right for all people, not just his own. His resolute and heroic nature, combined with his stoic demeanor, adds depth and relatability to his character.

    In terms of drawbacks, the parkour mechanics, while more fluid and visually impressive, may seem overly simplified compared to its predecessors, missing some of the strategic complexities. The crafting system, while an interesting addition, suffers from a cumbersome and unintuitive user interface, making it somewhat of a pain to navigate.

    Combat emerges as a highlight in Assassin's Creed III, surpassing its predecessors with stunning animations and brutal yet satisfying gameplay. The introduction of naval combat adds an enjoyable variety to the gameplay experience without becoming overused.

    Regrettably, the game's multiplayer component is no longer accessible due to the shutdown of servers, which may disappoint fans who enjoyed that aspect.

    In terms of achievements, while Assassin's Creed III offers an extensive list, it lacks proper implementation on Steam, hindering players' ability to showcase their accomplishments. Ubisoft Connect also lacks a comprehensive achievement display feature, and even lacks notifications of unlocking the achievements, further limiting the visibility of players' achievements. The achievements are only available to been seen by yourself on the Ubisoft Connect.

    In conclusion, despite a few shortcomings, Assassin's Creed III is a compelling and worthwhile addition to the series. It is a game that deserves recognition for its significant improvements over its predecessors, its exceptional combat mechanics, and the way it brings history to life. Whether you are a longtime fan of the franchise or a newcomer, Assassin's Creed III offers an unforgettable adventure that is definitely worth exploring.    … Expand

You begin the game as Haytham, who is one of the series' most memorable characters. I understood the essence of perspective from him because he was such a brilliant character. The game adds a slew of modern elements that are polished off later in the series and therefore don't shine as brightly in this installment. There are naval missions, homestead missions, hunting wildlife, crafting weapons and taking down forts, etc. The map is divided into cities such as New York and Boston, as well as forests. The game's protagonist is Connor, a Native American who had his life torn apart leading him to seek vengeance against those responsible. He is not as charismatic as Ezio, however, he exudes a commanding presence. The plot takes place over many years and depicts forests and cities shrouded with heavy snow, misty mornings, and brightly blooming summer, all of which affect how the environment and people react. Free running with parkour feels fresh. The game introduces climbing trees and jumping on the branches like a monkey is a beautiful addition to the game. The game introduces acrobatic combat with some gruesome kill animation. Once you've finished the campaign, watch this video that wasn't included in the game and this video to understand the turmoil the character went through, which helps make the character more memorable.… Expand

They could instead have led the player towards the naval missions, the Homestead missions, delivery, hunting, assassination, almanac collecting, sight-seeing and the rest of the various things you can do in this game, a game where you can feel, if not the passion, but the effort that has been put into it to make it as believable as possible.

    The game has amazing graphics though it's bugged, amazing writing and characters though the first bit is too far stretched and Connor is misunderstood by players who didn't stick around; in short, after going through AC 1, II, Brotherhood, Revelations, and now III, I must say Assassin's Creed III is my favorite game in the series, something I would not have imagined myself saying back in 2015.

Игра на свою голову взяла хоть и один из самых интересных отрезков в плане истории но по совместительтсву, самый скучный сеттинг геймплейном плане, бегать по колониальным городам Америки тех времён удручающее зрелище, а обилие стражников на крышах всячески мешает свободно путешествовать по городу, все здания одинаковы и на память не запоминаются ни одного архитектурного сооружения. Сама боевая система в игре хоть и красивая, но не требует от тебя никакого хоть минимального усердия, даже в прошлых частях нужно было во время тех же серийных убийств соблюдать тайминги но в третей части серии сама боевая система - это только пища для глаз.
    А теперь перейдём к плюсам, а в игре их достаточно, к ним я хочу отнести анимации и графику, Ubisoft изрядно постарались чтобы в их игру стало приятней играть, игра технически разительно преобразилась в лучшую сторону от своих старших сестёр, физика снега, плавные ползание по геометрии наглядно показывает наглядный прогресс в техническом плане, как и должно быть, а сами катсцены стали более кинематографичными, что хорошо повлияло на погружение в сюжет.
    Сюжет игры разворачивается во время войны за независимость США и колонизации земель индейцев ещё тогда свободного Фронтира, сюжет нам расскажет о подлости человека, которые даже под самыми хорошими побуждениями скрывают свои эгоистинчые и аморальные цели - это касается и дружественных на первый взгляд союзников протагониста, так и его врагов тамплиеров, что дарит неплохой шарм самой истории. Главный герой не типичен, нетипичность его заключается в том, что персонаж его цели и размышления далеки от современного человека и даже кажутся глупыми но по большей части он как раз этим и цепляет, обычно в поп культуре, персонажи из других эпох мыслят как современные люди, но протагонист имеет тот характер который наделила его та среда в которой он вырос, человек живший всю жизнь в резервации отправляется в словно другой мир,из-за чего у самого персонажа в течении сюжета проявляются метаморфозы в характере за которыми интересно наблюдать. На мой взгляд лучший сюжет в серии. Второстепенные задания тоже немного порадовали, помимо всеми нами "любимого" собирательства, в игре есть контент связанных как с просто охотой, так и раскрытием загадочных происшествий и если с первыми на счёт интересности можно поспорить, то на счёт миссий в Поместье Дэвенпорт для меня - это лучший контент в открытом мире и по увлекательности равный сюжетной компании.
    В целом крепкая игра в плане сюжета и контента но довольно не впечатляющая геймплейно.    … Expand

    After Revolutions comes a full-fledged new part, this time with the number III. It is no longer a subtitle, but a proper sequel, which, although not full of players, brings several changes.

It is no longer a subtitle, but a proper sequel, which, although not full of players, brings several changes. The main one is the new engine, thanks to which the game is sent to prominence by a graphic designer from 2012. I really experienced the biggest graphic shock of all AC parts here. At first glance, the game just looks a lot better. The environment has also undergone a change. In Revolutions, I quite complained about the locations of Istanbul, but I can't say a word here. I was absolutely captivated by the magic of the then Boston, and although in my opinion it does not surpass Italy from Assassin's Creed II, I am more than satisfied. The control, which a lot of players complained about, also underwent a change. I'm not on either side here. I liked control both in Ezio's trilogy and here. Unfortunately, the main character also had to undergo a change. We can only remember Ezia, and this time we get into the hands of the Indian Connor, who received a lot of negative criticism. I quite liked Conor while playing and yes, it was one of the worse assassins, but I didn't mind. What pleasantly surprised me about the game was the story. It can be seen that, unlike Revolutions, Ubisoft focused primarily on III, because in my opinion it is perhaps one of the best stories in the series. It is generally different from what we are used to and I believe that a lot of people will hate it and some will love it. The biggest change is probably that we play for two characters. For a Templar named Haytham Kenway, the father of the main protagonist Connor Kenway. Personally, I'm very happy for this change, because I love watching the story from the perspective of both characters. In addition to the time of the Assassins, we will also get the classic opportunity to play in the present, and this time it is the last time we will play for Desmond. Unfortunately, missions with him are rather a nuisance. There are some good ones, but perhaps the worst thing about the whole game is the passages, where you get unnamed items, which you then have to place in the given place at present. The game won't even show you where and I personally couldn't find these parts. Whether or not you have to do this in the game to move the story or not. I liked the missions with Desmond itself, but the parts where I ran like crazy around the cave and looking for a place to put the object were really poison. Luckily there are only 3, if I remember correctly, so you have it pretty quickly behind you and then hurry back to Anim and back to the assassins. There is the main entertainment in the form of a story, which came to my mind that the authors bet more than ever before in the series. It has its pros and cons. Fans of the story can complete the main missions right in advance and thus only go through the main story, but lovers of side missions and various things to collect, such as me, will not find much here. The game is more or less constantly moving forward and the secondary content rarely comes, although in the later phase of the game we will see some, even great news in the form of ship battles, which are not as great as in the later Black Flag, but here you are the developers could touch and test them in some way so that they could improve them for the next part. To sum it all up. Assassin's Creed III is a great title with a perfect story, in addition to the new graphic jacket that suits the game. The game was also very successful in changing the environment. I would almost forget to mention the hunt, which was really great and I really enjoyed hunting individual animals. From the same jumping and climbing it is a pleasant relaxation. The only things the game lags behind are the secondary content and the slightly worse main protagonist. Great game for me, which I recommend.… Expand

    Oh heck. This game had some real fun stuff and some crap that COULD have been fun. Seriously, why are there tailing missions? Ubisoft, get a clue! And the cannon minigames? What? Also, the ship was too tricky. AND WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. But the combat and most of the story missions were fun.

    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]
