    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 3 falls among the weaker entries in the series for me. While the new gameplay brought some fun, the story failed to capture my interest. I also didn't connect with Connor, the protagonist.

    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

    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. The story is a little bland, with a good degree of ethnicity based woke pandering and lots of dull, busy work missions , like find the mysterious woman....yawn. The single biggest flaw however is the combat interface which can only be described as janky. Combat sequences areI played the remastered version of this game.

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

    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.

    Игра приносит новую арку с потомками рода ассасина пирата и заканчивает историю Дезмонда. Сюжет вроде по началу и кажется любопытным с небольшим "ВОТ ЭТО ПОВОРОТом", но в итоге выливается в максимальную пресноту. Зато игра дает новые фишечки, которые не плохо освежают геймплей после серии игр с Эцио. А так в целом тот же бездушный конвейерный ассасин.

    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]
