Assassin’s Creed III Remastered remains one of the more curious releases in the franchise, largely because the original game never really needed a remaster. Assassin’s Creed III already held up reasonably well for its age, both mechanically and visually, and while it certainly had pacing issues, its ambition and scope were never in doubt. The remastered edition doesn’t radically improve that foundation, and in some areas it arguably introduces new problems rather than fixing old ones. One thing that still stands out — and arguably works better than people give it credit for — is how much time the game spends with Haytham Kenway before Connor even properly enters the picture. You play a significant portion of the opening hours as Haytham, and honestly, for many players he ends up being the more compelling character. He’s charismatic, articulate, morally ambiguous, and far more interesting to listen to than Connor’s stoic seriousness. That extended introduction isn’t wasted time; it sets the political and ideological groundwork of the story, and when the perspective finally shifts, it’s difficult not to feel that Haytham was — and perhaps still is — the standout character of the entire narrative. Connor himself isn’t a bad protagonist, but he suffers from contrast. Coming after Haytham, his bluntness and emotional restraint can feel flat, even if it makes sense for the character and the world he inhabits. The American Revolutionary setting is still one of the franchise’s more ambitious backdrops, and the game deserves credit for portraying the conflict as messy and morally complex rather than heroic and clean. Unfortunately, the remaster undermines that tone slightly. The updated facial models look too polished — almost pristine — which clashes badly with what should be a dirty, desperate, war-torn era. This is the Civil War period of the colonies, yet characters often look like they’ve just stepped out of a modern lighting studio rather than a battlefield or frontier settlement. Visually, the remaster is a mixed success. Environmental upgrades do help forests, snow effects, and wilderness traversal feel richer, and the frontier areas remain one of the game’s strongest features. Naval combat — still a highlight — benefits the most from the visual polish, with better water effects and atmosphere that hint at what Black Flag would later perfect. However, the game also brings along a fair number of bugs and technical issues. Frame rate drops can occur in dense areas, texture pop-in is still noticeable, NPC animations occasionally glitch or clip, and some mission scripting issues remain stubbornly intact. Audio desynchronisation during cutscenes and the occasional quest trigger failing to fire properly can pull you out of the experience, especially in moments meant to feel dramatic. Is Assassin’s Creed III Remastered the best Assassin’s Creed? No — that honour still belongs to tighter, more refined entries like Brotherhood, Black Flag and Unity. Is it the worst? No, and apologies in advance, but that particular distinction still belongs to Syndicate and Odyssey, both of which suffer from excessive bloat, repetition, and weaker narrative focus. Assassin’s Creed III, for all its faults, still feels purposeful. It wants to say something about history, ideology, and revolution, even if it sometimes stumbles in execution. Included with the remaster is Assassin’s Creed Liberation, which is a welcome addition and arguably improves the overall value of the package. Liberation is a smaller, more contained experience, originally designed for handheld play, and it shows — but not always negatively. Its story is more focused, and Aveline is a refreshing protagonist with a strong identity of her own. The persona system is an interesting mechanic that encourages different playstyles, though it can feel underdeveloped and occasionally restrictive. Like AC III, Liberation suffers from some technical roughness and dated design, but as a bonus inclusion it’s a solid, worthwhile experience rather than filler. Ultimately, Assassin’s Creed III Remastered is a game worth revisiting, but not one that fully justifies its own existence. It preserves an ambitious, flawed, and often underrated chapter of the series, but it doesn’t meaningfully refine it in all the ways it should have. The cleaner visuals sometimes clash with the harsh historical tone, and the lingering bugs are disappointing given the opportunity a remaster presents. If you’re returning for nostalgia, for Haytham’s excellent opening arc, for the frontier exploration, or for the naval combat, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. Just don’t expect a definitive or transformative upgrade — this is still Assassin’s Creed III, warts and all, with a fresh coat of paint that doesn’t always match the world underneath.

The Story of Connor and the Burden of Legacy Assassin's Creed III remains one of the series' most narratively ambitious entries. While its gameplay can feel dated and its pacing uneven, its true legacy is built on two powerful storytelling pillars that elevate it beyond its flaws. First, and most famously, is its brilliant narrative twist: the game's opening act where you play not as an Assassin, but as the eloquent and charismatic Templar, Haytham Kenway. This masterstroke immediately shatters the series' simplistic moral binary, framing the conflict in compelling shades of grey and providing profound context for the entire journey of his son, Connor. Secondly, and just as importantly, is the understated beauty of the Homestead missions. Far more than a simple base-building mechanic, the Homestead is the emotional core of the game. It's a personal story where you help a diverse cast of settlers build a community from the ground up. These quiet, character-driven missions allow Connor to be more than just a weapon; they show him as a leader, a friend, and a man building a found family. It's here that his character finds its deepest resonance and heart. https://youtu.be/bjZpB8HKBe8 https://youtu.be/_hq-3_Rb-DQ https://youtu.be/bZKpzmOmANs

People who review this remaster negatively have VERY selective memory. I tried to play the original PS3 version and the performance was absolutely unbearable. The game never even hits 30fps, it feels you get maybe 15fps on average. The graphics have the nearest possible LOD making objects and NPCs disappear and reappear right in front of you. You get insane amounts of stutter in busy areas, even though the rendering resolution is lower than 720p. Yes, they didn't remaster the textures, opting instead for some kind of blurry processing which gives everything a very smooth, reflective surface. BUT IT RUNS WAY BETTER! You're getting 60-120fps, better shadows and lighting effects, better draw distances, revamped controls with free aim etc. And with the Ubisoft Connect app finally being on the verge of usability, this a great option for people who want to replay the AC series. Don't listen to the rose-tinted-glasses wearing haters.

Revisiting AC 3 after its initial release on PS3, i am awaiting an experience similar of the one i had back then. And for the most part it was. The story is alright ( except the Desmond story, which in my opinion is wasted ), the protagonist is alright, the music is very beautiful, all the new features, for the time it was released, are making it easier to be involved more with everything the world of the game has to provide. Everything i remembered was there, everything worked as they used to, but the game is not smooth anymore. Glitches everywhere, bugs that you get to see in massive RPGs are frequent and the voice over during the dialogues is most of the times out of sync. Quite ironic, since the game suggests to try full synchronization of the sequences. Is it worth it in 2025? Yes, but only if you havent played it before and because this version includes AC Liberation too, which it may have a weaker story and it is much more simple in every aspect, but it gains more on being far smoother its gameplay and overall experience ( btw, quite an enjoyable game itself - highly recommended ). Played both AC 3 and AC Liberation on the Steam Deck, they run alright, but they have a long startup time.

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.
