    What a nonsense! Ubisoft shouldn't port this piece of...bad game to PC. I thought Black Flag became the worst game in the series, but developers surprise me again.

    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. I'll give it a few points for that, but the overall quality of the port on many PCs, mine included, is just horrible. If you want to get the game, this    Horribly optimized for PC.

    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.

    To put it simply, this game did not feel like assassins creed... First off, the game play felt rough and the graphics could have been made smoother. Second, The story was okay but lacked depth ( I won't say how because it might spoil it for some who are actually going to buy this... game). Third, and this is just my opinion...

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...

But my first time in the Bayou stopped my gaming in its tracks. This game hard crashed while I was doing simple things and while I was doing story missions. So much so that I had to restart each time. It became numerous enough that I gave up trying to play it on the PC. It’s simple, this is a broken PC port that Ubisoft couldn’t care less about. Do not buy this on PC, and while I was about to fully play this on PS3, I wouldn’t recommend it there either. This is just a bad game, made cheaply, with a bad story. It loses its fun pretty quick and becomes a slog to finish. Stick with Assassin’s Creed 1, 2, Brotherhood, and Rogue.… Expand

    Primeiramente algumas considerações. 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.

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

    Even a low budget Assassin’s Creed is more enjoyable than most AAA games. There’s not much to do besides the main story and you can deal with Liberation in less than 7 hours, but it will be time well spent. [03/2014, p.56]
