Assassin's Creed 3, especially the remaster, remains a controversial title in the AC series. The remaster, though now patched, is beautiful in terms of world lighting, color and scenery, yet adding a modern lighting system to a game from 2012 and models of that time's quality makes those models (especially the faces) look waxy and plain ugly sometimes. It has gotten better and luckily there are ReShade mods to counteract the flaws. The game itself is also victim of flaws: Gone is the captivating, fast-paced narrative style of the Ezio Collection, gone is the charming protagonist Ezio, the breathtaking and exciting settings and historical references and personalities. AC3 starts slowly, opting for an excruciating exposition of both antagonists and protagonist. Any interesting side content is not talked about, as they appear as random blips of the map that do not attract the player to pursue them at all. AC3 tries to free itself from the clear black-white dichotomy of Assassins and Templars of the previous games, yet they fall short on any justification of the Assassins. The Templars are introduced as good-willed anti-monarchists, seeking to take control away from the crown and away from the will of the people, believing that they themselves know best whats best for the country; a view that's arguably reasonable. After the introduction of Connor, they are again flanderized, appearing as the moustache twirling A'holes they were before in the series. Only when you kill them do they offer their philosophical depth again, at the expense of Connor however, as he, despite being trained in Philosophy and Logic by Achilles, is unable to reciprocate any intellect of his enemies. He insists on "Freedom is good and you are bad!" and even when confronted by the innocence of Charles Lee in the murder of his mother, he insists on his antagonism. This approach - portraying the conflict as morally grey by making the Assassins seem like pure naive idiots - is also followed in AC Rogue. Rogue at least had the excuse of being Templar Propaganda canonically. To its defense, AC3 offers the best combat in the Kenway Saga (as is personally my favorite as well). Connor is excellently portrayed as the menacing tank that he is and despite other people's critiques, the combat is far deeper than simply parrying and clearing off entire armies in one kill-chain. Higher-rank enemies require different approaches to combat, some being immune to kill-chains and being able to block Connor's every attempt at offense. This is good. The side content, if one somehow DOES gain the motivation to pursue it, is arguably one of the best AC side content of the AC era at its time. The peg-leg missions are masterful displays of the feeling of being an Assassin. They are cinematic, exciting and proof of the developer's attention to detail. The take place in new and beautiful locations and each mission is different. The homestead missions are not exciting. They are more therapeutic, you take care of the Homestead and it's inhabitants, almost like an Animal Crossing title. How they're golden however is by how Connor acts in them. I personally enjoyed Connors personality in the main missions. Sure, he is a naive idiot, but I do not take him to be one-dimensional. His stoicism makes sense for his character and it is unfair to critique him simply for not being Ezio. In the homestead missions, you see Connor being warm, amicable, empathetic and - get this - LAUGHING. It makes the Homestead missions worth it because seeing this side of Connor is nothing short of a reward. In my recommendation, AC3 is flawed in many ways. Expect the game to take it's time. It will not jump straight into action and offer you a charismatic protagonist along the way. It's a long, dragging story. However I think it pays off. You see Connor growing up and maturing. You do, however, NEED to do some side missions as well. It is sad that so much character development is hidden in missions many would never think of doing. But if you want the most enjoyment out of the game and finish the story with a feeling of gladness to have played it, do the side content. The game is much more exciting and infinitely less stale and boring if you take a break once in a while to check out the other stories this Odyssey of a story has to offer.

If you received AC3 for free through AC Odyssey’s Season Pass you will need to load up Odyssey first to the menu before you are able to play AC3 without the notification of using an Activation Code as seen in negative reviews. Assassin’s Creed 3 is a frustrating experience from its introduction all the way to the end. It’s a rollercoaster of loving and hating it. Faces and character models are probably the most noticeable issue with the remaster. They look like clay or plastic with weird eyes, in the case of Desmond everything is wrong. The models & faces also get worse when the remasters lighting gets overblown with everything being too bright or way too dark, although MINOR adjustments can be made in the settings. Gameplay wise the Parkour system is something. It’s hold one button to do everything and when it works, IT WORKS but there were so many times where it just didn’t work. Connor would jump onto the smallest objects, jump to the wrong parkour point, go where I’m not directing, jump to a latch point, fail to climb, Jump to his death instead of doing a leap of faith (mostly seen in the frontier sync points) and more. I found Parkour somewhat disappointing in certain areas compared to prior titles such as the frontier with its tree parkour having limited paths and while there is some variety it’s not enough for the time you spend there. As for city areas, rooftop traversal was not to the quality of Florence, Venice or Constantinople. P.S: Haytham can’t climb trees. It's not a bug. Combat took a while to get used to with its timing, combo & counter system that requires a little more thought than the mindless variations seen in the Ezio trilogy but once you get used to knowing which enemies can break your combo flow/how they react to a few attacks, AC3’s combat feels fluid and reflective of Connor. He is an angry warrior and it reflects in every way when it comes to his brutality and aggressive treatment of enemies with his weapons. It’s a sight to behold and satisfying to initiate. That being said it can also be frustrating due to the harsh notoriety system that at the highest level will have AI spawning constantly and endlessly until you try to escape and reach notoriety reducing mechanics. Stealth absolutely sucks its better to just fight. It doesn’t work and when it’s needed it’s a pain in the ass. Enemy AI detection is on steroids (this doesn’t help with aforementioned) with them spotting you near instantly and even if you break vision & hide, they will track you down through walls BUT DO NOTHING but stare until you actually appear in their line of sight thus initiating a fight. If a unit is on a roof and spots you but you hide behind a building they will stare at you through the building for a hefty duration before returning to their initial position. It’s insane and it’s not fun. Fast Travel does exist but outside of the frontier it will require exploration from the player to unlock further fast travel points in the cities via the underground system. Within the underground you’ll have to traverse tunnels via running & platforming while holding a lantern to find puzzle doors. These puzzles upon completion will open & unlock a fast travel point in the over world. Excess Fast Travel is not available just for the sake of it and while I can appreciate the unique experience and unlock method, it can get annoying at times to unlock something that can reduce tedium. Frontier fast travel points are tied to shops or forts and THAT IS VERY FRUSTRATING. Hunting is available in the frontier with a variation of animals (bears, deer, elk, rabbits etc.) and is introduced during the story. It has side challenges linked to it so you can find yourself climbing through the trees (aforementioned issues aside) hunting from above if you're a completionist. The same applies for naval combat although limited to mission selection unlike black flag/rogue open world. Naval combat is GREAT! It should be noted that Connor’s upgrades and the economy are tied to hunting & the homestead but the game doesn’t tell you about the upgrade system, so unless you google it out of curiosity after playing the previous games, you will probably end the game having sold your pelts and items for cash rather than crafting extra bag space, unique items etc. Assassin recruits return in AC3 and while having a basic tutorial it does not elaborate by exploring the rank up/dispatch system, so google that if you can. Unlike past entries recruits are no longer overpowered, they can be useful but you’ll need to upgrade them through the dispatch system and they can't be used in the frontier. Regarding the story. I just have to sigh. It does Connor dirty in a lot of ways. From the get go, Connor is undermined by Haytham who has charm and swagger that rivals Ezio and you spend a hefty amount of time with him prior to your first experience with Connor, I believe it’s 3-4 sequences and there’s 12 total in the game. Throughout that time Ubisoft did a great job at making you invested in his character & goals, so when it swaps you to Connor and puts you in a child sequence without access to the open world, it becomes jarring and puts Connor on the back foot. It doesn’t help that it takes a while for Connor to grow up and even then due to weird decisions that basically split his personality between Main Story & Side missions, Connor becomes a generic rage filled vengeance seeking child with little variation and the words CHARLES LEE. It also takes longer for you to connect and get invested because of this switch. Connor also suffers due to a few time skips so that we can get to historical moments. He basically plays a big role in each moment and while they are awesome set pieces, we miss out on conversations etc. & personal events between characters that are crucial or important to Connor, only for them to be mentioned & referenced later in dialogue in a way that makes you question when that even occurred or how a character knew that information outside implication. As I mentioned before, the big issue with AC3's Main story is that for some reason they split Connor by putting all of his charm, care, interest and depth into optional missions rather than showing an ounce of it in THE MAIN STORY, it leaves you with a negative view on Connor because he never really changes or shows any significant depth to himself outside of being angry & naive. This split also affects the main story because if one doesn’t play those optional Homestead missions (YOU SHOULD) any threat has no significance to the player because they don’t have a connection to those around the homestead or Connor's care for those people outside of Achilles. Homestead missions provide so much to Connor that it’s a shame a lot of people will miss them. That being said Connor has his moments throughout the story with his anger & frustration about the treatment of his people and land, the stellar interactions he has with Haytham & Achilles (moreso in the homestead) & the interactions he had with the Templars during the corridor sequences. These moments were a blast to experience with especially Haytham but they were very short in regards to the overall experience and weren’t enough to showcase Connor on his own. On that note, the speeches and conversations between Haytham & Connor about the Templars methods were brilliant, perfectly acted and just fucking great. The Templars overall in AC3 were fascinating, there was ambiguity, they weren’t just bad guys for the sake of bad guys/pieces of Eden, they had causes they had reasons separate from each other. At the end of the day Assassin’s Creed 3 is frustrating. Whether you will enjoy it or not I cannot say because there’s a lot to love and a lot to hate about the game and experiences will vary. It’s worth at least giving the game a try but of course it’s best to pick up on sale if you’re doing so.

A great remaster. However, the original for its time, was an amazing game. Heading back into it after putting a number of hours into it, I found the game very bland by today's standards and will not be completing it. The bulk of the game is collectables, as per the Ubisoft way with AC games & FC games. Still worth a play if you haven't played the AC franchise, hence the positive, but I won't be returning to this game. Way too many feathers to collect!

If you enjoyed learning about the American Revolution either in school or your own personal time you'll be right at home with AC3. From the Boston tea party and the battles of Concord and Lexington through to Benedict Arnold's Betrayal and Bunker Hill. Ubisoft did an excellent job mixing factual history in with Connors heroics. I understand a majority of hardcore AC fans don't like to claim this game as it was a lousy conclusion for Desmond's story. To be honest, I didn't give a Sh!t about the whole Animus/21st century side of the story. I viewed it as a distraction from the main game, but I suppose each to their own.
