    Being originally a PSV game, it's better than I expected. Worth an 8. And I've decided to be generous to give a more positive score to the game which gave me some pleasure playing it. Though short and unchallenging, it's not monotonous.

    This game is very similar to AC3, but graphics seems worse, the battle system is too primitive, moreover Liberation HD has more annoying bugs than AC3. The idea to wear different costumes which changes the gameplay is pretty well, but of course, in the game it doesn't work, so gameplay is still sucks and doesn't matter in general which one you wear.

    The worst park of the game are story and characters, no doubt. It's so foolish and illogical, that only way to continue playing is to ignore all that rubbish. I suppose, that characters from Quake 3 have much more in common with real people, than characters from Liberation.

    The good part of the game is the gameplay of missions, which are better, than in AC4, and you won't be forced to play the same missions again and again, but there are no great or fresh ideas, too. I also like the sound, the actors are pretty well, but the dialogues are similar to the story, very bad...

    Unfortunately, i didn't play the Vita version and hoped to have at least some fresh gameplay with female alter-ego, but almost every aspects of the game are quite bad.    … Expand

    Horribly optimized for PC. Can play AC4 just fine, which is a far more graphics intensive game, but this game runs like garbage.

    The storyline is kinda interesting, not as great as running around as Ezio or Cap'n Kenway, but it's ok.

    One of the best Assassin's ever. It is all You know but more. Nice way of using costumes, and economic system works fine for the first time. Plot is also nice, nothing new but still good. I was afraid of this conversion but it has only minor bugs nad glitches. And the biggest plus for this part is main character. I wish there will be more female assassins.

    Sure AC series had already become sort of CoD and that's extremely annoying by itself. Making basically the same game or even TWO per year while maintaining all the problems that were present in the very first game doesn't help it. People are simply tired of that.

    But I'll try to be impartial. By itself, AC: Liberation is a good game. Easily worth of 8, but I gave it one more because some of the ratings here (0?) doesn't make sense, sorry. It is true successor to the very first (and in my opinion - the best) AC game with Altair. First AC game in a long time I finished at 100%, while done every side quest, opened the whole map and even gather SEVERAL collections.
    It has good pace and normal length. AC became very boring with the same mechanics again and again, so keeping clever length is important, otherwise people get demotivated to play and finish even the main plot, not talking about side-quests and all.
    And of course we can't get away from comparing this to another title of the series - AC: Black Flag. Personally, I liked AC: Liberation more and I really believe it's a better game. Technically, AC: Black Flag can't even compete. It's a crying shame what Ubi did with optimization and polish. AC: Liberation is a complete opposite of that - runs smoothly while maintaining pretty beautiful graphics. And controls, CONTROLS. AC: Black Flag was simply frustrating. Making character jump from the 1 meter fence was a real challenge. And I didn't have a single issue with AC: Liberation controls. Why there is such a difference is beyond me. Another thing is plot. Both are lacking. But at least AC: Liberation has a main character that is appealing and with strong motivation. Edward just a money whore without ANY reasonable motivation that would make him sympathetic. Gameplay. AC: Black Flag has sea battles and that is ALL the game has. The missions on the islands are all the same and goddamn awful. On the other hand, AC: Liberation has missions that actually differ from one another. And that is even true speaking about side-quests. Also, it has some interesting additional locations. The combat in AC: Liberation has some variety at last - in all other titles I actually finished all the games by defend+left click SPAM. This game forced me to use tools (something all other games meant to do but failed) - pistols (in close combat, I mean), smoke bombs, whip, multi-killing-combos. And of course, it had BLOOD, plenty of it. The censorship in AC: Black Flag is laughable at best.
    All in all, Ubi tried to make additional port to make some more money. But suddenly it ended up being a better game than their main title.    … Expand

    The story is quite boring, pointless and the gameplay is too sexist to be enjoyable. It's like a bump in the success road of other engaging stories inside the assassin's creed brand.

    A lesser AC title, but awesome for a portable title. Much closer to the "big" AC games.
    The remake is one of the best, almost all textures changed. They don't do that on other HD remakes.
    If you don't look closely, you won't notice that it's not a full AC title.

    For 20euros it's quite a deal, even if it is a smaller game.

If you want a female protagonist to have that "epic" feel (which is really hard to generate) like Ezio or Connor or Altair you need to present the character animation as such... it is hard to get into the groove of the game with the protagonist looking like a stick figure weighing no more than 50kg...and portraying her as a hardcore assassin/killer with a touch of "model". It doesn't fit well with the game (at least for me), All that was needed was a bit more mass and height...

    Having just finished Black Flag I was a little worried by early reviews, but I feel the Critics are too harsh. This was an enjoyable game to play. It is shorter than the most of the others but there is still plenty to do. Similar to AC Revelations in length. But when you consider the price point what can you really expect.

    Pros: Enjoyable. Get to see another part of the AC story.    Having just finished Black Flag I was a little worried by early reviews, but I feel the Critics are too harsh.

What he keeps forgetting is that ITS A BLOODY REMAKE. Its not supposed to do anything different except fix the bugs and improve the visuals which this game did. I will admit, the vita version was no very good. But this game has improved on it in so many ways. The vita version had hundreds of bugs and glitches from broken trophies to even one broken mission I encountered. In this game, they were no where to found. The ONLY glitch that they hadn't taken out(which really annoys me for some reason) is the butter knife glitch where Aveline looks like shes holding a butter knife the wrong way when she does double counters with her machete. Everything else is fine. While the story has plot holes, their mission wasn't to add more to the main story! And they even helped out the player by reminding them what was going on from time to time in an un-interruptive way. There are literally 2-3 tailing missions. And you don't get detected right away, they give you a good amount of time (at least 20 seconds) to hide. The missions in this game have a good pace to them but there are some plot holes that leave you wondering. The combat system is the same as AC3 and AC4 except the sound doesn't glitch off all the time like in the latter. It has all new amazing sword moves as well, only the machete moves are copied from connor. This game has also brought back stealth, which is the strength of the AC series.

    The slave and lady personas have also been improved as they have new mechanics that help you blend in plain sight. I think they should have implemented them more in your efforts of releasing slaves (lady pays for their release, slave sneaks in and releases them, assassin fights slavers etc..) but there are moments in the game when you do this!

    The checkpoints are also spread out in a moderate way as well. They aren't great, but they definitely aren't horrible. I honestly think it deserves at least an 8.5 for:
    +Amazing protagonist
    +improved combat
    +Improved graphics
    +Improved mechanics for the personas
    +improved tailing
    +A variety of new soldiers from the vita version that provide more of a challenge when fighting
    +Sound is VERY much improved
    -no new ways to use personas to liberate slaves besides hiding in plain sight
    -some boring side missions
    -Graphics aren't up to par with AC4, though they are on par with AC3
    -plot holes
    -Some bad voice acting

    This is one of those games that comes along every so often that is difficult to give a numeric score to. I'm giving it an 8, because I enjoyed playing it, but there is a strong possibility that this game is not for you, so please read the review before deciding.

I'm giving it an 8, because I enjoyed playing it, but there is a strong possibility that this game is not for you, so please read the review before deciding.

    First off, the reason that this game is difficult to give a numeric score is that it is a HD remake of a game for the Playstation Vita. I didn't play the original on the Vita, so I can't say how this one does or doesn't stack up to it. So those of you who are expecting this game to be in the same league as the recently released Black Flag, you're going to need to temper your expectations. This is not that game. Fortunately, it also doesn't cost as much as that game would, either, so there is that.

    Liberation originally launched as a companion game to Assassin's Creed III, and the HD remake feels like it - it plays rather similarly, and, like AC III, represents kind of an awkward growing phase in the series. Like AC III, it tries out a lot of new ideas, some of which work, some of which don't, and some of which probably could work with some more polish, but don't yet.

    The biggest example of an idea which could have used a little more polish was the "persona system", a gameplay mechanic in which Aveline switches between three different modes of play, each with different strengths and weaknesses. When using the Lady persona, Aveline can blend into crowds easily and use a unique charm mechanic to bypass guards, but cannot make use of her freerunning skills due to her heavy and restrictive clothing. When using the Slave persona, Aveline can also blend easily, and can remain inconspicuous in restricted areas by pretending to be a worker. She can still freerun in this mode, but she is weaker both offensively and defensively than the third persona, the Assassin. The Assassin is of course the most well-armed and armored persona, but also the one that guards most easily notice. Overall, I think the idea of having different gameplay modes for different personas has potential as a mechanic, but the execution here is flawed, and it is especially noticeable if you're a veteran of previous AC games. While I appreciate having unique mechanics for each persona, each persona also has some portion of the core Assassin's Creed functionality stripped away from them, so instead of making us feel like we have three different powerful toolsets to solve our problems, the persona system usually just makes me end up feeling like I have three different Assassins who are all crippled in slightly different ways. Good idea, poor execution. I know a lot of people wanted to see this changed in the HD version, but I understand that the mechanics for it are so deeply embedded that it would be hard to do that without basically recreating the game from scratch, and that's a bit too much to ask for a port. I just hope they learn from their experience if they decide to use this system again.

    That gripe aside, the rest of the game is pretty decent. The graphics are obviously not up to Black Flag standards, but they're pretty good for a remastered handheld game. They're somewhere in the Brotherhood/Revelations neighborhood if run on comparable settings. The combat system is largely the same as the one from AC III, and it works fairly well here. The story isn't one of the best in the AC canon, but it is far from the worst, either, and the lack of intrusion by an annoying "future timeline" character is a big, big plus in my book. The game's environments are fairly small in comparison to some of the previous games, but remember, this is a port of a handheld game, and if viewed in that light, they're not bad at all. Similarly, this game is shorter than a traditional AC game. It normally takes me about 20 hours to run through a main series game to my satisfaction, but this one only took me about 12.

    Finally, for those of you out there who are completionists, AC Liberation HD does include the extra missions that were previously only available when connecting the Vita version of Liberation to AC III on the PS3. However, they need to be unlocked through Uplay, and are not available by default.

    So, all in all -

    Pros:
    - Full-featured AC game
    - Decent graphics for what it is
    - Good storyline
    - Intrusion of stupid future storyline kept to a minimum
    - Tries lots of new ideas
    - Cheap

    Cons:
    - Some new mechanics aren't prefect
    - Is a port of a handheld game, and despite all the polish, still shows it
    - Kind of short

    All in all, if you're a fan of the AC series for reasons not related to it having the flashiest graphics at the time of release, give this game a try. At the very least, pick it up during the next Steam sale.    … Expand

    Assassin’s Creed Liberation is a full-fledged Assassin’s Creed game
    But at the same time is probably the most video gamey game in the series
    This is the first time since Assassins Creed 3 where I didn’t rely on the story alone to drag me through to the end
    This game was in development at the same time as assassins creed 3 so this hd remake reminds you of the great things assassins creed has lost over the past 3 years
    Combat is swift and satisfying, nearly identical to that of Assassins creed 3
    Missions are actually fun, greatly varied, and mix in environmental stealth, social stealth, and combat beautifully.
    I really wasn’t expecting such fleshed out missions.
    There are of course a handful of cinematic style missions like Assassins Creed 3 introduced, but still there are great infiltration and social stealth AC2 style missions and tons of ac 1 style assassination missions to an extent.
    I say to an extent because while every assassination mission is built up, this was originally a hand held game, the missions are still pretty linear, but nowhere near as linear as black flag for example felt.
    Liberation tries to add a new mechanic to social stealth with its personas system
    You switch back and forth between assassin who’s notoriety rises the quickest, but has the most weapons at its disposal, slave persona that allows you to blend into workers and slave areas and a lady persona who’s notoriety increases much more slowly and allows you to bribe and charm guards to take them away from post
    Each persona also has their own set of side missions such as contracts and investigations and their own collectibles.
    Collectibles do unlock clothing items, but these items don’t do anything but look nice.
    It would’ve been cool if they actually added perks.
    You can also buy clothing and weapons, and you can use a trade system to buy and sell goods for profit to ensure you always have enough cash for what you need.
    Where I did however find disappointment is in the story and locations.
    There are 3 main locations in liberations and sadly these locations are very small
    As an original handheld game, understandably cities aren’t really the star of the show, if you’re buying liberation, you’re buying it more so for its story which honestly isn’t really that great
    The story is mildly interesting from an outside perspective, but nothing that leaves you craving more, the story content seems very filler in terms of pertaining to the AC universe
    Theres always atleast one thing that happens in an Assassins Creed game that makes me stop and think,
    I unfortunately didn’t experience this in my time with Liberation.
    And despite the smaller maps, newer additions such as fast travel not being here is massively annoying.
    While this may not be the greatest Assassin’s Creed game, this is still a great overall game that features many aspects that the games are now missing and introduce some features that you might recognize from a certain pirate game.
    If you’re a fan of the series, Assassins Creed Liberation is definitely worth your time to play through

    For what it is

    Lackluster, hard to follow story that jumps around too much. Persona system is interesting, but falls flat when you are forced to adopt one persona 90% of the time.

    Also, buggy as hell with some of the worst climbing controls and detection of the series.

    AC Liberation is a port made of PS Vita for the consoles and PC. It is visible that the game is a size, and a lot of the evil done.

    Gameplay: The game has the same gameplay as its predecessor, AC 3, continues with the same climbing problems, jumping in the moments and direction that the player does not want. The battles are repetitive, exhausting, with the same movements as Connor, of AC 3, causing the main character to lose his combat personality. An implementation in the gameplay that I liked the idea enough, but was poorly implemented, was the fact that the character has 3 types of disguises, one for each occasion.

    Note: 5/10

    Graphics: I do not know if it was due to the size, but the game, which was to maintain the same graphic quality of AC 3, can not provide that. On the loading screen, the graphics are gorgeous, however when the game starts the quality of everything drops. One problem that irritated me a lot was the fact that the game was constantly stalled, regardless of what was happening on the screen, confirming that the game is not optimized for the PC.

    Note: 5/10

    History: VERY LOW! The central idea is excellent, the fact that the main character is a black woman fighting for the freedom of the slaves is too much! But it's only 5 minutes from the first kinematics and 10 minutes from the last one to understand the game. The only point that saves the narrative is the plot twist that occurs at the end and [spoiler] that Aveline meets Connor in the story, working together on a mission.

    Note: 7/10

    Music: Interesting soundtrack, varies in each scenario frequented using the characteristics of them. However, due to the few scenarios available, the soundtrack is becoming repetitive and nauseating.

    Note: 7/10

    Final Note: 6/10

    Summary: For that fan of the AC saga who wants to fully understand every detail of the game, it's worth it; but for those who only want a title to play, pass well.    … Expand

    There is another title available called Assassin's Creed III: Remastered, which is a compilation of this game and Assassin's Creed III, as its title says: remastered. Before you read forward I want you to know that I prefer that one over this one, for a number of reasons, and I suggest you play that one instead. There is literally no reason why I would rather play the original.

    The one    There is another title available called Assassin's Creed III: Remastered, which is a compilation of this game and Assassin's Creed III, as its title says: remastered. Before you read forward I want you to know that I prefer that one over this one, for a number of reasons, and I suggest you play that one instead. There is literally no reason why I would rather play the original.

    The one DLC this game had, available for free through the Ubisoft Connect software: "A Different Point of View" is no longer playable because Ubisoft has removed the servers behind the DLC. Funny how one can lose access to singleplayer content for a singleplayer game because the developer decides to take some servers down. Shameful and disrespectful to the playerbase, even though the DLC was free.

    Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD is a remaster-port of the original PS Vita game, and it draws parallels with Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines in terms of being shorter and serving as an expansion of the existing storyline. The game's transition from handheld to PC has been handled decently, though it falls short when compared to other AC titles available on PC.

    One of the standout aspects of the game is its protagonist, Aveline de Grandpré, who is the series' first playable female character. Her likable voice, appearance, and well-developed personality make her a great lead. However, the supporting characters don't match her level of depth, with only a couple of them being genuinely interesting. The overall story is above mediocre, enough to maintain interest but lacking the same intrigue as some other AC games.

    The gameplay and graphics are downgraded compared to Assassin's Creed III, and there are noticeable glitches throughout the playthrough, making the experience less smooth than desired. One unique gameplay feature is the "persona" mechanic, allowing players to dress as an assassin, lady, or slave. While this idea holds potential, its implementation falls short as players are often forced into specific personas for missions. Nonetheless, it remains an interesting addition to the game.

    Another new gameplay element is the "chain-kill" feature, which lets players press a button to select up to four enemies for Aveline to eliminate automatically. Unfortunately, this feature feels out of place, lacking any logical context or purpose and making combat less engaging.

    The game takes place in two main maps, with New Orleans being a satisfactory, familiar AC setting, and Bayou being the weakest location in the series so far, causing frustration being hard hard to parkour or run on this map. On top of it, the canoe in Bayou has tanky controls, adding to the annoyance of navigating the area.

    All in all, Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD is the most forgettable title in the series for PC. While it can slightly enhance the Assassin's Creed III experience, it does not significantly impact the overall storyline. Nevertheless, playing as Aveline is enjoyable, and she deserves a proper standalone game.

    One disappointing aspect is the list of achievements, which is not implemented on Steam. This omission robs players of the satisfaction of showcasing their accomplishments, as achievements can only be viewed on Ubisoft Connect, which lacks a feature to share them with others. One can only see my achievements progress as screenshots[imgur.com], on Backloggery[www.backloggery.com], and written by myself on my Steam profile) Additionally, in-game notifications for unlocking achievements are also missing, making the achievement system feel incomplete.

    In conclusion, Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD has its moments but remains an average addition to the series. The game's strong points lie in its protagonist, Aveline, and the persona mechanic, but it falls short in comparison to other PC versions of the franchise. Despite its flaws, the game can offer a worthwhile experience to fans of the series, even though it may not leave a lasting impression.    … Expand

Ao que parece, isto é um porte de um jogo de psvita. Dito isso, é compreensível que algumas coisas sejam mais limitadas em comparação à franquia, em específico o Assassin's Creed III, que serviu de molde para este.

    Apesar disso, os maiores defeitos aqui nem de longe são limitações técnicas de console. A história é qualquer coisa, e para uma história pouco criativa não se tem desculpa. Aveline é uma personagem vazia, sem graça e sem qualidade traço de individualidade que nos faça simpatizar com ela. Chega ao ponto de que acho que até Connor é mais carismático, mesmo ele sendo uma porta. Falando nele, se você ouviu que ele aparece aqui, mentiram para você. Temos 2 minutos do modelo dele aparecendo em tela, mas a participação dele é 0, se nós tivesse não faria menir diferença, você nem interage com ele de verdade.

    Acompanhamos Aveline matando pessoas aleatórias que nem mesmo ela sabe quem são, quais são seus objetivos ou o que essa pessoa faz. É absurdo que ela escuta o nome de alguém e vai na intenção de matar, simples e diretamente. A impressão que tenho é que o jogo não tinha espaço para missões onde você escutava conversas ou investigava, mas mão parece ser isso, já que todas as missões seguem a mesma regra: cena, vá lá e mate 4 ininigos porque o jogo não suporta 5 em tela, cena, depois volte para tal lugar ver mais cena.

    A maioria dos diálogos são vazios e sem propósito, os personagens não se sustentam, e falando no jogo parecer não ter tamanho, os mapas são pequenos e toscos. Certo, tamanho tudo bem, mas você vai para lá e para cá com uma personagem lenta sem qualquer ponto de viagem rápida e sem vontade nenhuma de escalar as estruturas. O único lugar que valoriza a escalada é o pântano, e ele é terrível. Há canoas para atravessar a água, mas o controle é ruim e ele é lento, e não entendo por que o jogo não simplesmente tem um level design que deixa o jogador seguir o tempo todo pelas árvores.

    Há muitas mecânicas desperdiçadas, como as 3 personalidades, que por si so é uma ideia criativa e inovadora, mas inútil. A princípio parece que teremos opções, como invadir um lugar se misturando aos servos, indo pela porta da frente como dama ou pelos telhados como assassina, mas não, simplesmente não existe opções e se ela trocadse de roupas automaticamente o máximo que iria acontecer é poupar o jogador de algumas idas ao local para mudar a personalidade. É uma mecânica totalmente desperdiçada. Há coletáveis que so se consegue com uma personalidade, mas, novamente, para quê? São inúteis, assim como pegar baús, comprar itens no contrabandista ou sincronizar em panoramas.

    Mecanicamente também há muitas falhas. O jogo não suporta muitos inimigos em tela, então se você se afastar e voltar ao local, os inimigos simplesmente brotam na sua cara. O dardo de histeria muitas vezes faz um inimigo matar outro, mas muitas vezes faz ele te ver até sem te ter no campo de visão. De que serve uma arma stealth se ela pode simplesmente estragar seu stealth? Eu me deparei com algo que me deixou irritado. A dama não escala, e vi algo secundário que era exclusivo dela em cima de uma varanda sem escada, então era impossível de alcançar. Porte ou não, isso é inadimissivel.

    Correndo risco de parecer preconceituoso, também não acho coerente algumas questões históricas. No auge da escravidão, em um jogo que retrata a luta contra isso, a protagonista, uma mulher negra, simplesmente é encantadora e pode seduzir os homens. Sou só eu que acha isso incoerente? O jogo não deveria mostrar o peso que era ser um negro nessa época? "Liberation" é um título que não se justifica, depois de algumas missões a questão da escravidão para de der relevante e serve so como plano de fundo para Aveline agir de maneira ignorante e sem sentido enquanto claramente esta cega e sendo manipulada.

    E nem temos vilão aqui. Há um plot da abstergo e tals, uma ideia até legal, mas novamente uma coisa má utilizada que só torna a história mais confusa.

    Por fim, e algo que poucas vezes me incomoda, há a trilha sonora. A música do pântano é animada e alegre, como se fosse de um desenho animado de comédia, e muitas vezes as outras músicas são desconexas demais com o jogo, matando a imersão.

    É um jogo meia boca que tem até algumas ideias, mas que não as aproveita. A história é rasa, a protagonista e vazia e qualquer qualidade de inovação é contrariada pelos péssimos usos que o jogo dá. Não é um jogo feito com carinho e cuidado, e nem parece que quem criou isto conhece o carisma da saga.

    Ah, e ele é muito mal otimizado.    … Expand
