MY REVIEW • 23.3 HOURS PLAYED
Assassin's Creed® III
What I liked
I liked the historical setting and being able to explore cities and wilderness during the American Revolution. Connor also has a different personality and fighting style from Ezio.
What I didn't like
The beginning takes too long to really get going, and some missions can feel restrictive. There were also parts where I wanted more freedom instead of having to complete an objective in one specific way.
Story
Connor's story connects directly with the American Revolution, and I liked seeing historical events and characters mixed into the Assassin's Creed story.
Combat & Gameplay
Combat can be fun when you're fighting several enemies, and Connor's tomahawk gives his fighting style a different feel from the previous games.
Exploration & Open World
Having cities, wilderness and the Homestead gives the game more environmental variety. I especially liked having larger natural areas instead of spending the entire game inside cities.
Final Thoughts
A good Assassin's Creed game with an interesting historical setting, but the slow beginning and some restrictive missions kept me from enjoying it as much as my favorite games in the series.
