Apr 12, 2013good character, good story, amazing gameplay these are the thing AC2 did right and AC3 did wrong Connor is the most bland character in the history of videogaming, hell pacman was a more interesting character. I don't hate the AC series but if this is the track bioware stick to I'm not buying black flag. Oh and thank god I can climb trees wanted that for ages!(Nope!)

May 18, 2013Sloppy controls, the game will drive you insane when you try to do the stealth missions, you'll have to do them over and over again only because of the game errors. I do not recommend this game.

Jun 7, 2013Assassin's creed 3 is not the perfect sequel AC fans have been waiting for, Dose it live up to the hype? No. It has lackluster side missions except the naval missions), a convoluted story overall, and some game play hiccups. What it dos have is some solid voice acting, and fun combat.
-
Aug 12, 2013a well done open world game with very immersive environments and a good not great story although Connor the main character is a little boring, but overall, the game is full of exploration and cool missions.
-
Sep 15, 2013Connor was assassin. His character sucked. The ending was sick but other than that, all of the characters sucked except for Charlie. Haymitch and everyone was awful.

Aug 10, 2013This was my first AC game and i loved it to bits. It's huge, great graphics, lots to see, lots to do, lots of reliability, i just had so much fun with it. I've played through it twice so far and will deffo play through again sometime. My only problem with it was the story line was weak in places and i didn't like the modern day sections and the whole animus thing.

Oct 27, 2013after a very disapointing game(assassin's creed revelations)there wans't how make a worst game,the story of assassin's creed 3 can be good but the rest of the game isnt so good.
-
Nov 24, 2013ok,i really put a 9 but this game is so hate for idiots
the negative reviews on this game are sick and tiring
are you stupids? what de you want? another ezio s game?
do you think ubisoft is like activision? assassins creed 3 has a good story,a good gameplay and a good soundtrack. it had excelent graphics and its very fun to play it -
Jul 14, 2014Assassin's Creed III is the not the bad game it has been worked up to be. The story is actually quite good, and Connor is an interesting character. My only issue is that the gameplay does not feel as fluid, and is full of glitches.

May 27, 2014Very good gameplay and graphics. A lot of things changed since the first ACs, but it's still one of my favorites. Walking with Connor through the woods, covered in snow, the naval battles, the tomahawk (haha), all of this make an unique scenario for the Colonial United States.

Jun 27, 2014I am big fan of the saga, but it game I thought very weak, few hours of gameplay, worst story just graphic is crazy this very beautiful.
The person is very weak too. -
Jul 15, 2014The only reason I gave it as high as a 4 and not a flat 0 is because of how much I love using the tomahawk. And Haytham Kenway. Connor is just so hard to like.

Nov 15, 2014One of my favorite Creed games, many dislike it for its story line, i'll admit it is very linear compared to AC2 but the gameplay of this game is great! There are many new items and weapons for you to use and new hunting features! Don't overlook this entry in the AC franchise

May 16, 2016This is the first Assassin's Creed game I played and I would say it was pretty good overall. I have heard other people saying they hate this game, and I personally can't understand why. There are some issues with it, such as the combat system, and jumping from object to object, but it is a great game overall.

Jul 16, 2015It starts really well with Haytham and a surprise in the plot. But Connor... just runs behind the rest of main characters of the saga. Not as bad a AC:Brotherhood but worse than the rest.
-
Oct 20, 2015Huge step back from the previous games. Really dropped the ball with the revolutionary war, which could have been way better. No memorable city landmarks or things to climb. Just really not a good assassin's creed race.

Nov 24, 2020TL;DR spoiler-free Review.
The main character is weak. Gameplay is good. The story has bad pacing.
Overall: 81 -
May 24, 2020This game has some redeeming qualities about it but suffers from the same issues of its predisposes in its clunky game play, boring story telling, slow pacing and lack of interesting or meaningful things to do outside the main story. At the end of the day it left me rather underwhelmed with the whole experience.

Dec 16, 2021I honestly never really enjoyed the linearity of Assassin's Creed, so many trailing missions, clunky controls and frustrating gameplay mechanics. In the end, it's a decent game that tries it's best to be a stealth focused game, and it does succeed in some areas.
-
Jul 1, 2020I'm torn between good and mediocre. Connor is the absolute worst protagonist in the series, but Haytham is a brilliant one. The new controls are worse than the old ones. But what saves the game is the sailing
-
May 5, 2020Só não to dando 10 por causa das parte que tem que controlar o barco, deus amado que coisa chata que é gameplay de barco. De resto um dos melhores ac da série e com certeza é o que tem as melhores finalizações.
-
Jul 30, 2020With all its ups and downs the assassin's creed series is a must-play. All games are enjoyable even though generic some times. A great inspiration for a history lover.

Jun 4, 2020man this game i didnt enjoy it that much the first playthrough but after that i knew what i was in for and smooth sailin after that beat the game like 3 times maybe. still need to get it on pc to see those ultra graph

Jun 26, 2020Que jogo sensacional, é uma delicia de jogar! Quase brilhou nos meus olhos, não há como não gostar desse jogo.
-
Jun 21, 2020Had a blast with this game. First and last hours can be a bit of a chore but once you get into the thick of things as Connor is when the game hits its stride.

Sep 28, 2020Assassin's Creed III is a average game. AC3 is a open world game set in America during the american revolution. The main story is good and bad the side missions and activities are great the gameplay is a upgrade from Assassin's Creed Revelations.
-
Jan 27, 2021It's a shame that this game has a gameplay so fluid and pleasant (for me, the best so far), but the history it's a complete mess. Seems like ubisoft ran out with the closure, making no sense at all the relationship with Connor and Haytham... The killings were so vague and the Acquiles increases nothing to the plot... It's really a shame to see the history ruin the awesome gameplay.
-
Oct 1, 2021The game is buggy and it has many glitches. Some of them are really annoying. The main caracter is well designed and maybe my favourite protagonist in the franchise yet. If you are a fan give it a try but be forgiving about the bugs, nonsense AI behaviour, and strange detection system.

Aug 17, 2021For me AC3 just didn't do it. The story was alright and the protagonist Connor felt very bland. The one really good thing about this game was the introduction of Haytham Kenway as the antagonist.

Jun 14, 2022Good combat system, the story doesn't make the player feel is playing every time something different because of the similar mission there are.
-
Jul 17, 2022Good game with great atmosphere. Better than new Assassins creed games. (2022)
-
Jul 27, 2022excellent story without a doubt, but there's always a catch, this problem is pretty serious even, because the game is the most convoluted of the entire franchise, that's why it's so meh, like that, but otherwise it's **** good.

Apr 7, 2023A breath of fresh air the series needed, for better or for worse. The new physics feel smoother, the visuals are better, the combat is snappier etc. The game doesn't really do that good of a job at explaining it's mechanics to the player, which led me to not like it that much on my first playthrough, but knowing how everything worked at the start made my second playthrough way more enjoyable.
-
Jun 9, 2023Bland and forgettable sequel. It experimented with interesting things but few of them work. Settled locations lack verticality and new forest locations not enough to make up for it. Story is meandering and characters do not stand out. Intro bait and switch is very interesting but it goes on way too long, and the homestead has promise but isn't worth the rest of the game

Jul 21, 2023A disappointing entry in a franchise that was starting to come in to it's own. While characters in AC 1 and 2 sprout up in future entries and even get sequels, the original characters from AC3 are forgotten and with good reason.

Dec 5, 2012At least the petty indignities of the multiplayer are optional and situated around gameplay that's solid and unique, if frustratingly stagnant. In the single-player campaign, however, it's impossible to escape the ham-fisted manipulations of the Assassin's Creed III development team.
-
Dec 2, 2012Assassin's Creed III is a pretty damn fine game. It loses none of what makes the series fun with the translation to another time and continent, and creates a whole new set of experiences which define the franchise. The biggest issue, if there is one, are the small technical issues, but these niggling technical issues only seem worse because everything else is such a great experience.
-
X-ONE Magazine UKDec 1, 2012Like any game of such scope, not every part of it is perfect. Yet, taken as a whole, there is very little that can compete with its wonderful, lavish, historical playground. [Issue#91, p.22]
