    This is the best AC game I have played so far. Sure there are some bugs and glitches but the story and game play makes up for those. The plot and storyline is awesome, the new combat system blew me away even if most of the controls has changed.

    To sum it all up its a game you won't regret playing.

    Assassin's Creed 3 explores many of colonial America's greatest historical moments. But like previous games in the series, what makes it special, is that it digs deeper than simple recreation.

But like previous games in the series, what makes it special, is that it digs deeper than simple recreation. It explores themes that resonate outside of the historical context. As Connor, the Native American star of the game, you hear the convincing words of the many assumed represent the wrong side of morality and must wonder, are the concepts of good and bad so absolute after all. Connor's dilemma is one of the past. In the present day series constant Desmond Miles plays his own role in history. His portions are even more flushed out than before, allowing him to exercise his assassin skills. The game draws parallel between his story and Connor's, and by the end forces you to consider an unpleasant truth about the nature of humanity. It takes time to reach that conclusion or indeed to see Assassin's Creed 3 at its best. The opening hours are unexpectedly slow. You discover that this is a different kind of Assassin's Creed. It's no less joyous once the stops are pooled out, but the game takes it's time to establish tone and back-story before it lets you loose. But, put an overall context, you will grow to appreciate that the game took it's time to establish its characters and to drop an early narrative surprise. Just what is different in Assassin's Creed 3? Well the parkour has changed for starters. The control scheme is simpler but allows Connor to bound from tree to tree just as brilliantly as he can scale walls and leap across roofs. It takes some time to get accustomed to the rhythm of tree jumping, which can be rather unpredictable. There are those slow moments to slow you down. You might not be positioned quite right or you can accidently leap into a leaf pile below. But when things come together it's a joy to soar through the forest canopy. You'll do some such sweeping around you're homestead. The homestead is about building. Building a village, building a future and building relationships. By performing related missions, you befriend crafts people, gatherers and more. All of whom might find a place on the homestead. In turn, they can craft items that you sell via caravan for profit. Meanwhile you watch you're passive land grow into a village of its own. The homestead focused facets are optional yet worth investigating. Out in the frontier, you can supplement you're store house by trapping or attacking wild animals and skinning them. There is rarely a pressing reason to go hunting but there's something enjoyably bizarre about perching on a tree branch and then assassinating a bunny rabbit from above. Hunting is more of a toy for tinkering with, then a fully developed mechanic unless, you grow deeply invested in the homestead's economy. The cities of Boston and New York are home to most of the action. Even outside of story missions there's plenty to do in the cities. Almost all of it wonderful. Ben Franklin's missing Almanac pages float in the skies giving you a reason to take the rooftops and prance about. Liberation missions have you rescuing town folks from British soldiers, among other tasks. Frontiersman tell tall tales and you follow their leads towards UFO's and Sasquatch. Such exploits put you in direct contact with guards and soldiers and combat has been tweaked. You counter by pressing the proper button when the indicator appears over an enemy's head and you no longer have to manage the lock-on mechanic. Battles are fluid and bloody, as Connor chops, slashes and summersaults about. Though as always, you can accuse combat of being especially difficult. There are chances to go stealthy too and Connor crouches automatically in tall grass and can even press against corners and peak around. There are some stealth inconsistencies though as well as some parkour troubles, especially when climbing cliffs. But the inconsistencies run deeper than these little inconveniences. There are minor glitches like animals running places against rocks. Bigger ones too like a creature clipping into a wall so you can't finish the mission. There's an error of sloppiness here that was kept a minimum in previous installments. Assassin's Creed 3's ambition offsets these issues to a great degree however. The expanses are vast and the atmosphere is palpable. In place of the golden aura of previous games is a more muted look in keeping with its muddy trails and rust combs. The presentation shines when Connor goes to sea as well. Side missions have you getting behind the helm of a ship and facing the tumultuous ocean. Sailing is fun and often tense and the visual details are marvelous. Capturing the controlled chaos of an eager crew hard at work. In the most exciting battles, ship positioning is key to success and you sometimes get to even get to board the ships you ram and battle with their crews. It's great stuff. The multiplayer first introduced in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood makes a return and with it the rising tensions and brutal release of assassinating other players while simultaneously avoiding the watchful eyes of your opponents. There are a number of modes which to exercise your skill but in most cases, the goal is to blend into the crowds and avoid your assassins even as you seek your own target. There's great satisfaction in pulling off a silent kill, though last satisfaction in perusing the game's progression system. You can purchase new skills and perks using in-game currency or you can use real money to do it. Given the huge array of gameplay and cosmetic upgrades it comes across as an uncomfortable cash grab. This scrappy sequel isn't content to rely on past accolades. It takes narrative chances, thematically meshing the past and the present so that each story is stronger for it. More importantly Assassin's Creed 3 embraces the adventurous spirit of American colonists and their quest for independence.… Expand

    I can't give the game a perfect 10, as it doesn't have any new features or missions as the other versions but I can say that Assassin's Creed III is simply beautiful on the PC.

Surprisingly, the game never dropped below a solid 60fps even when I had all the graphics maxed out. There are still some glitches, but I noticed no game-breaking ones---the worst glitches were people randomly appearing or guards randomly falling, and these were very rare.

    The load times now take from about a minute long (the Wii U version) to anywhere from three seconds to ten seconds max on the PC version. There's still just as much content as the other versions and it's just as engaging. It seems you'll never run out of things to do. From debunking myths like the Headless Horseman to exploring the maze-like underground sections of the towns to completing your hunting map by finding every animal in a certain area, this game is simply astounding in the amount of content it offers.

    I wish I could give this game a 10, but as it's not a remake, you'd have to check out my Wii U review for details on my gripes. But this is easily the best version of Assassin's Creed III along with its sequel Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.    … Expand

Assassin's Creed 3 was my first entry to the series and a mighty fine addition to anyones PC or console collection. A timeless classic even in 2019 with the Remaster being released now is the perfect time for any new AC up and comer. AC3 in my opinion is still the best Assassin's Creed in the entire franchise, from the amazing graphics engine, the beautiful foliage, the winter parts, the MUSIC, my lord the music is straight up mesmorizing and beautiful i found myself humming to the music from time to time. Some people didn't like Conors storyline but i loved it and I plan on playing the remaster here this weekend because who doesn't like fresh graphics, and a mesmerizing tale to be told more than once. I bought AC3 back on PS3 back in 2012 and though it was gorgeous, then i played it on pc in 2014 but ended up switching accounts over the years so now is the perfect time to get back into it. This will be my 3rd playthrough i believe and can't wait to get into it. AC3 is an amazing gem that you should not forget to play. The battle scenes are amazing, the sounds, the characters, the time setting. No other AC title has come close to matching AC3's great beautifully told story.

    Amazing Story
    Sound

    Graphical Upgrade in remastered although faces look a little weird here and there

    Cons
    The remastered edition faces, my only real gripe with the remastered edition is the faces, i feel the faces were downgraded in some form or another in the remastered version.

    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.

    Although it almost reshaped the whole Assassin's Creed series, with it's new game-play and feel. If offered content that was pretty repetitive, if the story was stripped down. Also lacked the charismatic main character. So overall, it was a good and fun game, but definitely had it's obvious faults. Multiplayer was huge in this title, and very polished!

    Assassin's Creed III introduced a lot to the table with hunting, boat sailing and better stealth mechanics. The city areas sometimes feel a bit empty as climbing from roof to roof is more tedious to do now. The gameplay and story were excellent. Connor felt a bit boring sometimes but Haytham was amazing to play.

    I really liked the game. I especially liked the hunt, and because of this, my passing game was very long. The plot is very interesting, and the ending is sad, but no less cool. I think the series should have ended on this game, because then the game began to roll. I used to be a fan of the series, but after the release of Odyssey I was very disappointed, and now I don’t hope for anything.

    I don't know why people hate it. It had a very interesting storyline with very different Characters inside and offers to play the American Revolution. Characters were exciting, the main character has a good story and his father also had. Maybe graphics were average for time but not bad, it was well for release time. Sounds were epic. And it was fun. Not needlessly long.

    Como grande diferença temos a adição do sistema de caça, que só foi realmente bem explorado no Black Flag. Fora isso o jogo segue os mesmos padrões de qualidade de antes, um bom enredo, bom gráficos e boa jogabilidade.

    El final de la historia de Desmond. Este juego cambio radicalmente la esencia de Assassin's Creed, con la adición de un nuevo motor gráfico, nuevas mecánicas de gameplay y una nueva aventura caracterizada en la revolución estadounidense. Sigue habiendo hechos basados en sucesos históricos como la aparición de personajes fundamentales de la época.

    This game differs quite a bit from the Assassin's Creed 2 trilogy with respect to the combat system, which I don't mind but make sense if old AC players dislike the new system. I myself like the story though, with the in vain effort of Ratonhnhaké:ton (not Connor) for his tribe really gave me chills.

    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. 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.

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.

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

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

    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

    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]
