    Excellent port of a good game. I played some AC3 back when it first released, but I never completed the game. I have always wished for a true console experience AC on the go and Ubisoft has finally delivered. Playing in handheld mode this game runs like magic.

Playing in handheld mode this game runs like magic. I get lost in the journey and forget I am playing on a mobile gaming device at times. Frame rates have been solid for me (as solid as you can expect an AC game to be). I literally cant believe how good this game looks and runs. Yes, the graphics are remastered as well, it's obvious lighting effects are better, character models are improved, along with environments (especially in cut-scenes). Of course the game does not look as good as the PS4 or Xbox One, but still it holds it's ground. If you are looking for the best mobile version of AC, this is it. This is the console experience on a handheld, man I love this generation. I highly reccomend this game to AC fans and to handheld players, I have not played in docked mode, but Im sure it will look just fine. I plan on picking up ACIV when it releases next month!(I have yet to play it for the first time!!!) Looking forward to all the AC goodness they give us on Switch. I give it a 10 because I believe the game deserves a Meta-user score of at least 8, considering the quality of the port. I would give the game itself an 8.… Expand

    The game's running smooth and looks great in TV and handheld mode - no performance issues so far.
    It's a great game, really nice and challenging story but after playing the Witcher 3 on the Switch i can't give 10 points. It was my first Assassin's Creed game and i don't regret the purchase.

    As of the latest patch, this runs perfectly well and looks very nice, especially in handheld mode. I'm having a great time revisiting this game. Looks comparable to the original with some slight improvements. Amazing to play this huge game on a portable system. If you like the game and want a portable version, I can strongly recommend.

    This is NOT a remastered game, at least graphically. However, when playing in handheld, this is just not an issue at all and does not impact gameplay. I'm not sure why they didn't port Black Flag or 2 instead, but nevertheless this is definitely worth it if you haven't played the game before.

    This is a great game ...in fact phenomenal. It’s one of my favorites. There’s so many haters out there..shame on you.

    Dont know why so much negativity this looks great especially in handheld mode. These reviews are plain harsh and then we complain when they stop porting games. We sit here and give these nintendo side scroller 1987 graphic games a 9/10 I'm confused. This game has its problems like any other but does not deserve this low of a rating.

Imagine how disheartened I was to come online and see all the poor reviews (much like every other switch port recently). Do you guys really expect it to keep up with the big consoles? You are basically screaming to developers, “don’t even try open world games on the switch”. As a developer myself, it’s obvious love went into this port, and to be received this way, I can tell you, I would NEVER publish a triple A port on this platform as the user base is never satisfied. Better off sticking to 2D platformers and casual games.

    All that said, this is a great port (not without issues), and for something this engaging on the go, you won’t find better anywhere else. I suggest you enjoy it too because publishers are about done throwing games this vast at the system because they always go entirely un appreciated.    … Expand

    I really don't get all the hate this game is getting. It runs just fine, and I haven't seen any glaring issues. I am not going to compare it to other platforms, as that seems irrelevant to me. I am enjoying the game, it's fun to play, has great music and graphics.

    I had lots of fun playing this. Of course that was back then when I had low standards for graphics, but still. I didn't play Liberation, though. The naval combat was fun, and the historical background was impressive. The ending was absolutely abysmal, sadly. The DLC was better than the main game, with an interesting plot and alternate time line. The new mechanics of fighting with spiritsI had lots of fun playing this.

    If you have been a fan of the Assassin's Creed saga for a long time, you will surely have fun playing Assassin's Creed III Remastered and seeing the improvements that have been implemented. If you are not, the beginning of this adventure will not seem enjoyable, but I would say that it is worth it.

    Assassin's Creed III gave you the chance to enjoy some simple yet fun Assassin's Creed action, in a vast, Colonial-era Boston - and now you can carry all that on your backpack. It wasn't perfect, sure, but the same can be said for the rest of the earlier entries as well. The real disappointment here comes from its new, remastered iteration, which doesn't really upgrade things as much as it should - at least when it comes to the Switch, which is the worst of the available versions.

    This is definitely a version to avoid unless you absolutely need portable play over everything. The cutbacks across the board are more than what I saw in Dark Souls Remastered on Switch and it has worse audio issues and glitches. The fact remains that Assassin’s Creed III itself hasn’t aged brilliantly compared to other games in the franchise like Black Flag that was on the Wii U and would’ve been a better game to play on the go with a Switch port.
