    This game is broken. It was ambitious project at the time but it seems dev teams didn't have time to polish it.

    As a video game its fun, a good story but the main missions arguably don't have enough gameplay in between cutscenes. The homestead side missions and the fort liberation missions are fun but other than that most of the side content is tedious. Despite what some people say the controls re absolutely fine, they are the same as black flag and rogue. Playing this game also reminded me how much parkour is missing from the current games. And once you beat the campaign you automatically unlock loads of cool cheats. Unlike some of the previous assassins creed games, the modern day missions are actually really fun and are arguably better than many of the main historical missions as they have a better balance between cutscene and gameplay, with a good amount of gameplay between each cutscene. This game is definitely alot of fun and the fully optional naval missions are also great.

    This game is also great value as it comes with all dlc and the full game assassins creed liberation. Liberation was originally for the psvita, and it shows. It is clearly not of the same quality as the main game, but its basically free so hard to complain.

    In terms of the remaster, its very standard. Now runs is 4k on a ps4 pro, and has full HDR support. I played it on a pro and had frequent frame rate dips whenever I was running through trees. It seemed to go as low as 12 fps on horseback and running through trees, and this was on a pro and it is effectively a ps3 game. Not ideal. the most noticeable changes from the original are that the resolution is 4k, and that the colours are much nicer now. Granted there is a lot of yellow and blue, but its way better than the gray the original loved so much. There are also some nice quality of life improvements, such as the hud and weapon menus being much improved, you can now whistle whenever so stealth is now vaguely possible, as well as free aim and double assassinations from low profile to make life easier. Overall it is a good game in a solid remaster, despite some frame rate issues, and if you are a fan of the series and haven't played this one, i would definitely recommend it. However if you have not played assassins creed before, this isn't a good jumping on point, and if you have played this game before, there is little playing it again in this, as it isn't exactly revolutionary.    … Expand

    If you treat Assassin 's Creed 3 as a game, it 's generally not bad, but still one of the weak parts on the row with Revelation and Syndicate, if you only talk about the quality of a remaster - it 's mediocre and terrible in some places.

Assassin 's Creed 3 itself was very important to the series because she spent 2 years topping up on the spot and telling Ezio 's story. There was a truly open world here, not a separate city. And the gameplay became more diverse, and also the mesh is chosen very successful. But the main character Connor turned out to be completely faceless and not memorable. There are elements that have succeeded, such as tasks to improve the Estate or maritime tasks. And there are one-of-a-kind painful tasks where you only need to listen to conversations. And the ending is mediocre, there is no connection that Desmond 's story is over. The game was not bad in 2012, but now its remaster causes only frustration and boredom. You can 't do remasters like that.… Expand

    Game was playable but boring and lackluster. Open world felt dead and the characters were generic. I was excited for the North American setting of this game but was disappointed. Found myself just waiting for the game to end. Do not recommend.

    I’m not sure why Ubisoft thought that this remaster was a good idea. Although it’s remastered in 4K HDR it is no longer a pretty game.

    Das war es? Ein altes AC mit kaum besserer Grafik und dafür 40€??
    Außer das die Texturen schöner aussehen und die Beleuchtung überzeugt ist nicht viel verbessert worden. Das kann jeder mit Grafik Mods deutlich besser.

    This version is a complete trash
    There are so many problems. for example: Definite sound, problems in game physics and problems of optimality...
    The game is only colored from blue to yellow
    It's not a remaster, it's a scam
    This game is not worth 40$
    According to Ubisoft's new policies, the company is trying to scam users instead of providing services.

    I think many of the reviews out there are just too biased by the last errors by Ubisoft. This remaster is alright, specially if you're playing in 4K HDR and have taken the time to adjust your TV and HDR settings properly. The only area that needs improvement for sure are some of the faces, specially early game, but it improves as the game moves on.

Otherwise it'd be a remake. I must say I'm halfway through the campaign, and it holds up alright, so I'm giving it the same score I gave the original, because beside all that, it's the weakest AC game, and the protagonist is bland as hell, but I went in knowing that. I think people are used to remasters from pretty new games, and are judging it based on unfair standards. And most of the 0's are just review bombing, as it's the new trend here.… Expand

In addition to that, we finally get more than just a resolution upgrade (as was the case with for example AC:Rogue) in the form of significantly better lighting, reflections and draw distance. Even gameplay was overhauled in very minor, but useful ways, most importantly the horrendous weapon select from the old base game was overhauled and there is a bunch of other stuff as well.
    Now, this is a Remaster very true to the original and if you didn't like that one, ACIII Remastered won't change that. However, if you liked the game as much as I did, it is a great package to get the game on current consoles with overhauls that were needed to make it as playable nowadays as it was back then.
    On the other hand, it is still somewhat buggy in a few areas and the mostly stellar new lighting makes visible some more ugly parts from the old game that were more hidden back then (most notably the faces in some cutscenes).

    AC III marked a turning point for the AC franchise in 2012. For better or worse. Looking back, I now see it as a successful blend of some of the older virtues the Assassin's Creed games had and that are now lost in the newer titles, and some of the improvements that have been made since them.    … Expand

    Seeing this game coming out now kind of makes me sad.

    The saga is now very different, they clearly don't care about the Desmond universe anymore. AC is now a game series with well designed environments but plain and forgettable stories.
    So I can't recommend playing this game to newcomers, or fans from the latest AC entries. If you're a bit older and you liked "the other AC games", you have already played this one for sure.    … Expand

    I don't understand all of the hate for this game. I played it for the first time over the last few weeks and really enjoyed my time with it. Conner isn't a bad character - the story is pretty good. The thing that I really enjoyed was the setting. I thought that alone carried the game compared to some of the other AC games.

    1. Graphical glitches. Apart from your standard phasing-out textures, I routinely experience models phasing through the ground or through each other, interrupted actions sometimes finish their animations despite what is happening in the "reality" of the game is different, and other things like HUD interference from quests different from the quest I am currently on.
    2. it also contains tons of gameplay glitches that marres the overall experience and makes your character look like kind of a goof, such as randomly missing ledges and not being able to move at times despite nothing blocking the way. These bugs are extremely common, with only mere minutes of gameplay separating them.
    3. The demands of some of the optional side quests with relation to the bugginess of the game. Let me make this clear: I have no problem with extremely demanding challenges. However, it is one thing if you fail because you were not "gud" enough, but it is an entirely different story when your success or failure is completely non-deterministic due to the inherent flaws with the game's engine. It is really disheartening to see all your hard work undone because the game decided to change the rules with an unfair glitch such as a guard randomly stopping in his tracks, preventing you from moving, or if you are required to perform a scripted assassination, except the game bugs out and does not allow you to assassinate them. Many times I would have to restart the memory before the game-breaking bug would go away. Couple that with some truly sadistic optional goals (which would have been fine if the game was not a glitchy mess), and you truly have a recipe for pure rage fuel.

    All in all. I truly enjoyed my experience. I just wish the did a better job at polishing the amazing array of bugs that come out of nowhere and really mess up with the experience of an otherwise wonderful game.    … Expand

    For better or worse, Assassin's Creed III Remastered introduces the polarising Connor Kenway to current generation consoles. Aside from some impressive graphical reworking, it is in many ways a simple port: bugs and issues with the original remain largely the same outside of some much-appreciated quality of life improvements and a handful of minor tweaks. Those who enjoyed the original, as well as Assassin's Creed fans who haven't yet played it, will likely appreciate this remaster for what it is, as long as nothing revolutionary is expected of it.

    Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered is a collection that comes packed with a heap of visual improvements and gameplay tweaks, yet maintains all the things that divided players back with the original release. There are still problems around, but it is a collection that transforms the experience to the modern-day standards and keeps us reminiscing the days when the series had much more promise.

    Assassin's Creed III Remastered is a mixed bag. It's repetitive combat and lackluster visuals, strung through with a few bright spots of naval combat and exploration, and unique displays of combat. Narratively, the game is as weak as they come. There's no mystery. Just an obligatory plot to finish the fight between the Assassins and Templars. Not to mention the mumbo jumbo with the First Civilization. The game is frustrating and not worth another look.
