    This game is absolutely terrible. STUPID BORING missions, boring story, boring main character, worst Assassins Creed and one of the worst games EVER.

You go through the main campaign, and the game pushes you from memory to memory, at times teleporting you to the next mission area. 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.

    Play the game, stick around.    … Expand

    The story is good, it is from a time we thought the saga would have a deserving end, but nowadays Ubisoft doesn't wanna end the story of its favorite cash cow, even if the story feels bad. So in AC III both the present and past stories were good.

    The combat is just as badass as the MC assassins skills, in a nutshell, if you press the right button at the right time (and the window is large as hell) you are a God, you can dodge every attack, dodge even bullets, counter every attack and kill every guard with a press of a button, you can do that so much that literally, piles of corpse accumulate over the ground if the guards call reinforcements in the streets. It is really a trivial combat system but I can't deny it is fun    … Expand

    One of the least enjoyable experiences I've had in games. This third game felt like it improved nothing to the previous additions and instead felt uninspired and tedious.

    Played on PC and thoroughly enjoyed. Great story line that advances the Desmond story further. Also fantastic graphics and recreation of early Boston and New York. The free roaming feature of the franchise is also continued to good effect, and with the added bonus of developing your homestead and now naval missions as well.

    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!

    Now finally a new character, a new story and a complete different setting. That is positive but in comparison to AC and AC2 this game is still worse and could have been way better.

    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.

    AC III was dark with some uncomfortable moments due to the metaphorically negative aura present in the game. The areas to explore were very densely packed and became a frustration because there were constantly obstacles. Trees, rocks, rivers whatever it was there, it was not balanced.
    Story development was mediocre and the protagonist was nowhere near Ezio as a personality.

    One of the few positives to come out of this game was the mechanics that later greatly served the development of AC IV.    … Expand

    The only thing that I gave 4/10 is because the game is AC.

    Story and combat takes a downside turn and main character is just boring. Combat is arguably the best in series for its time. Main villain is the best thing that came out of this game . Ship sequences are new additions to series.

    This wasn't a bad game, but it doesn't live up to AC2, and nobody should buy it expecting that. The main character is pretty bland throughout the game, along with much of the story, and while some of the combat can be fun, it can get old. The main detriment to this game is probably the pacing of it. It's very hard to persevere when it takes many hours to even get to the actual story.

    My absolute favourite of Assassin's Creed games. Playing as Haytham is a refreshing breath of fresh air, Connor is a deep character, and the historical aspect of it make the game one of my best gaming experiences. Lovely ending of Desmond's story.

    NOW you might think the buggy, glitchy **** through the game is primarily lowering my score, but that is not so, neither is the stoic and borderline monotonous voice performance from Connor aka (Ratonhnhaké:ton).

    The half assed story and well as the campaign progression is my major problem with this game.
    Starting off with a decently interesting Haytham, we literally come to a glacial crawl from the second memory upto the sixth after which we are given proper open world control with full weapon options.
    After 4 DRAGGING/wasted memory sequences; instead of using these sequences to develop more interesting plots, the aforementioned drag combines with an abrupt rush for Connor's Campaign to climax precisely just when the story gets interesting.

    The only positive is the fantastic ship combat which was such a blast with every new ship mission, it would have been much more interesting to have a good part of the main campaign revolve around more significant naval missions rather than the extensive side mission treatment that it was given.

    There were many positives, not that the game was completely trash, but sadly coupled with a weak story execution, countless annoying bugs and glitches, an understandably stoic, stern, yet sadly one note Connor drop the score significantly for me.

    Looking forward to Black Flag play-through since I really enjoyed the naval combat.    … Expand

    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.

    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]
