To make your way through the cities, you can either run around on the ground like a chump or you can climb everything and jump from building to building and climb some more (until the game messes up and makes you jump away from a ledge you were holding to your death). Sneaking through crowds and bushes, climbing buildings and assassinating Templar’s…as well as soldiers that unwittingly work for the Templar’s. If you’ve played almost any of the Assassin’s Creed games, you know what you’re in for with AC3. Combined with Desmond in the modern day sections, there is less levity in this game and the series is often at its worst when it takes itself too seriously. It didn’t help that after doing away with the charming Ezio, who had grown and matured over three games, they replaced him with Connor who was back at step one, only more brooding. It feels like AC3 bears the burden of an already bloated franchise, along with having to wind up a story that went off the rails a game or two ago. Desmond’s story has already dragged out over four other games (at least), and over that time the overall story had gone from genuinely interesting to messy and ridiculous. Over the course of the game Conner will be doing his bit to overthrow the Templars, hunt wildlife, and help re-establish a homestead and build a small community.ĪC3 is not the most fondly-remembered entry in the series.
It takes some time to reach this point, after a lengthy hours-long prologue and moments returning to the world out of the Animus. After several games playing as Ezio through the Animus, this time Desmond takes control of Connor Kenway (or Ratonhnhaké꞉ton), a Native American during the American Revolution starting his journey to become an Assassin. Time is running out and the destruction of the earth is fast approaching, if Desmond and the small team of Assassins can’t find how to stop it. Does this remaster do enough to lift up one of the weakest entries in the series? I sure hope so.Īssassin’s Creed 3 is the final chapter to the Desmond story.
Strangely, it’s the third main game of the series and the fifth game of the Desmond arc, but we have to get our Assassins Creed where we can it so here we are. Short of that, Ubisoft has given us an Assassin’s Creed game to play and enjoy. If I could, I would have just submitted a 2000 word document repeating ‘Release the Assassin’s Creed: Ezio HD collection on Switch’ for this review.
