    Plusem tej gry jest na pewno to, że otrzymaliśmy coś nowego, nowa postać oraz dosyć świeża Ameryka. Koncept Asasyna polującego na zwierzęta, ubranego w strój ukrytego z akcentami łowcy plemienia nawet przypadł mi do gustu. Wątek fabularny dość interesujący.

    I like it but towards the end of the game it felt like it overstayed its welcome and lost interest in the story

    I liked the story more than the combat. The combat is ok but it's kind of eh. But this was the first AC game I ever played. Don't have much to say. It's an ok game.

    Largo, y a ratos aburrido. La historia no estaba tan mal pero el personaje era un muermo y el rendimiento paupérrimo. La PS3 ya no tiraba con tanto.

    Boring gameplay that is too easy, parkour mechanics that don't require you to use your brain and a decent story with a disappointing ending. İf it wasn't for Haytham Kenway this game would be insufferable and soulless.

    Better than everyone says, a good ending for the Desmond era. Many problems but it had its good moments too.

    El Juego en si es un relleno para terminar con la historia de Desmond Miles.

    En pleno 2021 ha envegecido un poco mal, hay mecanicas en el personaje que no funcionan como se esperan, las animaciones de los npc no estan bien o presentan fallos. El script principal de acciones en los movimientos es lo que mas genera aspereza en vez de experiencia de juego, desmotivante por momentos y    El Juego en si es un relleno para terminar con la historia de Desmond Miles.

    El script principal de acciones en los movimientos es lo que mas genera aspereza en vez de experiencia de juego, desmotivante por momentos y genera rage.

    A pesar que el score lo lleva a cargo Lorne Balfe que en si coincide con los tiempos en la era colonial americana el hecho es que lore principal no deja mucho a la imaginación, no genera el hype esperado por la saga y que en sus anteriores ediciones como en el caso de Assassins Creed 2 lograba.

    Por otro lado el personaje principal no aporta mucho en personalidad a la historia mas que ser el eje principal de llevar.

    Sin duda alguna Ubisoft hizo un relleno de juego no muy limpio dejando mucho que desear.    … Expand

    - You need to go to internet frequently while playng this game, game skips a lot of explanation how to do some important stuff like create convoy , defend convoy ..etc.
    - You need to wait for creadits for 20 mins after which you will play epilogue...    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed III is the first American AC game starring a Native American and it was not so good that I expected to be. The graphical fidelity and improved gameplay mechanics are an upgrade to the AC franchise, but the story and main character not so much. And it can be pretty boring as you finish the game and the DLCs are not great either. So much for Connor's revenge story turned into ashes.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you ask, what is the best part of this game, ill answer it like this: Haytham Kenway.

    Modern day is really good. Its best modern day part of the series. We are playing first 2 sequence as Haytham, then we play with Connor. And Haytham's sequences is finishing with great suprise (best of the AC universe)

    But, you cant develop Connor to much. Health is not rising, you dont need new weapons. So you dont need money to. So i never make trades. Combat is meh, parkour system thinks players are idiot.

    Sea battles are great stuff. Characters average. Even though Ubisoft tries to convey the emotions in Connor, Connor's face is always dull. Only Haytham is a great character. Ubisoft successfully drew a thin line between Assassins and Templars for first time with Haytham Kenway.    … Expand

    This is when the Ubisoft Assassin's Creed formula became so stale that even the setting of the American Revolution can't save the player from the boredom this title entails. It is competent, but with a rather "been there done that better" feeling about it.

    I just beat this game on PS3 and I enjoyed the story overall. The ending wasn't great but I still think the story is the strength of this game. It does start out slow. But it felt like a good TV show or long movie. I liked Conner as a character. I also liked playing as his father at the begining of the game.

I also liked playing as his father at the begining of the game. It added more weight to his character and to the story overall. The gameplay did not age well. Using R1 for running and climbing wasnt a good idea.. I hate how you can only climb some things in spots. I'm so happy they changed that now. Also the combat is just counter and attack for the most part... I hated the missions where you had to run on a track pretty much and follow someone and if you didnt keep up you would get desynchronized.. Same thing with the stealth. Desynchronized, desynchronized, desynchronized. Only time you should ever get desynchronized is when you die. I felt like I was playing a Dark Souls game in a couple missions.. Might as well replace "Desynchronized" with "You Died" because it felt like it.. Sequence 10 was bad when on that one path chasing that guy. It took me like 10 attempts to do it. Overall story is 8/10 and gameplay 4/10.. The real world stuff was good other than the bad ending.… Expand

    This is my least favorite of the series. Uninteresting story and boring protagonist. It's too bad because the setting and time period almost make the game worth playing.

    Story and protagonist: Boring, frustrating and even lazy considering this is the 5th game in the series. Connor is downright childish and unlikable as a character, and spits on the legacy of Ezio just by wearing that hood.
    Graphics: Pretty darn good actually. A big step up from previous entries. However somehow hands and some animations actually look worse.
    Technical: This game is pretty much where it all started to go downhill for Ubisoft Q&A. There were multiple bugs, some even game breaking like the giant bear mission.
    Gameplay: Fighting looks darn cool and ferocious, but the game still seems to suffer from clumsy climbing mechanics and odd actions when simple walking over simple objects.

    In Summary, this game seemed to do the bare minimum when it comes to delivering an conclusion to years of AC games. It has enough shining moments to prevent it from being a failure, but it hangs by a thread. I rate this an average game, which earns it a 6/10.    … Expand

    The game is very glitchy (floating NPCs, missions that can't be completed...) even after the last official patch. The game itself isn't too far from the previous AC episodes and the ONLY breath of fresh air comes from the sea battles/sections. The secondary quests are more or less "go there and press a button", almost every single one of them.

    A clunky entry in the AC series, back to blander less interesting main character with combat being passed by other games and some dull missions. Great naval combat and an interesting world setting don't make up for the flaws.

    While it was great to have an AC game take place in revolutionary America and from a Native American viewpoint the obscene amount of side tasks and club tasks needed to get 100% and platinum was ridiculous. The Wolfpack mode on MP was a great deal of fun until you mastered it and then it also became a repetitive grind quest.

Δε γίνεται όλοι να ικανοποιηθούν από μία ιστορία που ξεκίνησε με μυστήριο και καταλήγει μάλλον πάλι σε μυστήριο. Θεωρητικά δίνονται περιθώρια να συνεχιστεί σαν Saga από τη Ubisoft, και μακάρι να γίνει κάτι τέτοιο, αλλά σίγουρα δε μπορεί να ορθοποδήσει με τη μέχρι τώρα διαχείριση. Η σειρά κουράστηκε και αυτό είναι φυσικό. Και είναι πολύ, πάρα πολύ δύσκολο, σε μία σειρά που έχει δώσει σχεδόν τα πάντα στο gameplay που προσέφερε, να δώσει κανείς το φιλί της ζωής και την ανάσα της φρεσκάδας, όσο σκληρά και αν δουλέψει.

    Κάποια πράγματα είναι πλέον κουρασμένα, είτε είναι ο Ezio που πηδάει από ταράτσα σε ταράτσα, είτε είναι ο Connor που πηδάει από δέντρο σε δέντρο. Οι δημιουργοί προσπάθησαν να δώσουν πολλά νέα στοιχεία και να φρεσκάρουν τα υπάρχοντα. Με εξαίρεση, όμως, τις ναυμαχίες με το Aquila, όλα τα υπόλοιπα παραπέμπουν σε φτωχές εκδοχές μηχανισμών, που μεγαλούργησαν στα προηγούμενα Assassin’s Creed και περισσότερο θυμίζουν ένα υπερτροφικό expansion, παρά ένα αυτόνομο και φρέσκο τρίτο μέρος. Παράλληλα, η μυθολογία της σειράς, με μία αγκωνιά, κάθισε στην άκρη του πάγκου προκειμένου να εξυπηρετηθούν οι αγαπημένοι του προπονητή και να αποδοθεί ο George Washington και το Boston Tea Party μέσα στο παιχνίδι.    … Expand

    Not as good as II, but still a great sequel. The game has the same fighting mechanics, and has tons of collectibles and stuff to do. The game is enjoyable, and if you enjoy the serie you wont get dissapointed.

    The Assassin’s Creed formula of fighting and parkour is starting to get old, even with the ability to climb trees now. Maybe it’s the repetitiveness of the series, or maybe it’s just less interesting to toss crates of tea into the harbour than to hunt and kill corrupt bishops.

    This review is getting long-winded so let's wrap it up. Assassin's Creed III is the biggest and most ambitious Assassin's Creed title yet, but a few missteps leaves it short of being the series' best. In spite of my excessive nitpicking, Assassin's Creed III is great game and a must-have for any Assassin's fan.

    A great continuation of the Assassin's Creed series because of the strong visuals, gameplay and story. Though it must be said that the story gets somewhat boring towards the end, which leaves a sour taste.
