    Assassin’s Creed III Remastered on the Nintendo Switch is impressive. It’s refined stealth tools and tactics mixed with additional gameplay design upgrades makes this a must-have for any AC fan dying to play something on the Switch that is guaranteed to occupy them for a long period of time.

    Assassin's Creed 3 is playfully still a good action adventure game that I can recommend to anyone who has not played it yet. Some gameplay elements and features may not be up-to-date anymore, but you'll get a satisfying and comprehensive package by today's standards.

    If you are looking for a stealth game of any sort, or are considering getting into Assassin’s Creed, this game is a must buy. Despite the few issues like unnoticeable graphical improvements and a slow beginning, Assassin’s Creed III Remastered features solid gameplay and a story underneath its surface that more than quantifies the investment. The sheer amount of things to do will lead to you investing hundreds of hours into this game.

    Assassin's Creed III Remastered on the Nintendo Switch is an adaptation that's not without its problems, especially when it comes to hit detection, framerate and unsolved bugs and technical issues. Despite all that, the combat and gameplay are enjoyable and competent and the game's shortcomings act more like nuisances to an experience that needs some polishing.

    Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered is a tricky one. The term ‘remastered’ feels a little disingenuous compared to the other consoles. Yet at the same time, the game at least in handheld runs as well as it did on last gen consoles. If you want to play Assassin’s Creed how it used to be on a handheld, you can’t go wrong with AC3, as long as you can accept it as it was a generation ago. If you didn’t like AC3 the first time then this time around likely won’t change your mind. If you haven’t played the earlier entries in the series, this would be the weirdest place to start.

    Both Assassin's Creed III and Liberation are titles worth investing time into. They contain tons of content that’s fun, and the time setting makes for some interesting scenarios, but the technical issues for this Switch port aren’t worth the trade off for being able to play on the go. These issues aren’t bad enough that the Remastered editions on the Switch are an unplayable mess, but it’s still a mess regardless.

    If you absolutely feel the need to relive Desmond’s disappointing conclusion, do so on other platforms. At least the letdown looks a bit nicer there.

    Dont know why so much negativity this looks great especially in handheld mode. These reviews are plain harsh and then we complain when theyDont 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. Stop bashing great games before they discontinue and stop pushing out physical copies. Saints row was just as gorgeous and not to mention the content you get with AC3. Better than super mario odyssey in my opinion… Expand

It’s one of my favorites. There’s so many haters out there..shame on you. This game has an open world beautiful replicas of NY city and Boston in the 18 century , that is admirable to say the least. The story is well presented and the combat is endless and intense. True there are minor glitches and bla bla bla. It’s MInor compared to the epic experience. Next time give some love to this phenomenal franchise. AC3 rules!… Expand

    The game mostly runs rather smooth, but the experience is pulled down by a huge number of glitches that in part even affect the gameplayThe game mostly runs rather smooth, but the experience is pulled down by a huge number of glitches that in part even affect the gameplay negatively. In addition to that the interactions don't connect very well, especially when the hair of a character hang into his neck in a cutscene, which looks weird. The AI is as stupid as possible. If you during a fight just stop moving it is possible that all the enemies just stand around and look at you. At least the platforming is mostly fine but not demanding at all for being such a big part of the game. Better play a Mario game for that. You won't encounter most of the glitches that I encountered if you just stick to playing the story and ignore this rather big open world. Most of the things you can do there are just boring and don't pay of at all and the story and world don't connect at all. If you came for a game that makes this better play Breath of the Wild where climbing is far better or The Witcher 3 and if you came for the pretty good story you're better of playing the original, because that version runs better and looks better. This "remastered" version is a downgrade in performance shouldn't have been made. It's not bad but mediocre. That's why it 5/10 from me. You're better of not buying this.… Expand

    Okay. There is nothing too much to say about this game, it's basically a ctrl+c and ctrl+v from the Xbox 360 and PS3. I would say maybe theOkay.
