- Assassin's Creed 3 is often ranked pretty low in people's list of Assassin's Creed games, and has been since its release in 2012. 11 years later, does it still deserve this reputation, or does the game stand stronger when judged by it's own merits?

Assassin's Creed III is a 2012 action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and Microsoft Windows. It is the fifth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and a direct sequel to 2011's Assassin's Creed: Revelations. The game was released worldwide for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, beginning in North America on October 30, 2012, with a Wii U and Microsoft Windows release in November 2012. A remastered version of the game was released in 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
The plot is set in a fictional history of real-world events and follows the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and features series protagonist Desmond Miles who, with the aid of a machine known as the Animus, relives the memories of his ancestors to find a way to avert the 2012 apocalypse. The story is set in the 18th century, before, during and after the American Revolution from 1754 to 1783, and follows Desmond's half-English, half-Mohawk ancestor, Ratonhnhaké:ton, also known as Connor, as he fights the Templars' attempts to gain control in the colonies.
Assassin's Creed III is set in an open world and presented from the third-person perspective with a primary focus on using Desmond and Connor's combat and stealth abilities to eliminate targets and explore the environment. Connor is able to freely explore 18th-century Boston, New York City, and the American frontier to complete side missions away from the primary storyline. The game also features a multiplayer component, allowing players to compete online to complete solo and team-based objectives including assassinations and evading pursuers. Ubisoft developed a new game engine, Anvil Next, for the game.[6]
The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised it for its gameplay, narrative, setting, and ambitious scale, while criticism was directed at the unevenly developed gameplay mechanics, mission design, and pacing. It was a commercial success, selling more than 12 million copies worldwide. Its sequel, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, was released in October 2013, and follows Ratonhnhaké:ton's grandfather - Edward Kenway - a pirate and Assassin operating in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy.[7]
Assassin's Creed III is a third-person action-adventure title set in an open world in which the player uses a combination of stealth, parkour, and combat to complete various missions. The player takes the role of three characters during the course of the game. The main character is Desmond Miles, a 21st-century Assassin, working to uncover the secrets of a mysterious Precursor Vault that will protect the Earth from an upcoming solar flare on December 21, 2012. To uncover the secrets, Desmond uses the Animus to live out memories of two of his ancestors which the player controls during these sequences, both set at the time of the American Revolutionary War. The first, briefly played at the start of the game, is Haytham Kenway, a British Templar who seeks the location of the Vault.
There’s also a clue about Lucy in brotherhood hinting to her Templar roots. If you leave the animus in brotherhood at some point in the game, someone might recall the full detail. But you can find Lucy outside contemplating and if you turn on eagle vision there’s a red path of footprints leading to her spot. And there is no other identical trail like it in monteriggeoni bc I looked everywhere with EV on so there was a clue built into the game it was just cleverly hidden. I only pushed eagle vision bc I was looking for secrets and stumbled on it
One of the reasons i love AC3 is because we as Connor aren't in the right, not completely at least, the fact we are in the wrong and Connor is blinded by vengeance is something i appreciate, because usually Main Characters are always or almost always in the right unless it's to learn a lesson, meanwhile Connor despite wanting to do the right thing is often in the wrong wich i like ALOT.
I had some fun with the kenway saga. I started by playing the Vinland sage in valhalla, the entirety of black flag, ac3 to the end of your playtime as haytham, ac rogue to just before the final Paris mission, the rest of ac3, then the final Paris mission. It’s stupid but that’s why I think Edward is ascended from Eivor because the entire kenway saga wouldn’t have happened in the first place had he not found the glowing orb and gave it to the natives. It started with eivor.
First, on the subject of Lucy, the voice actress was asking too much money for continuing playing Lucy and Ubisoft decided to kill her off instead of replacing the voice actress. It wasn’t just a cloifhanger for the sake of having a cliffhanger.
Adore this game. GIVE ME LEE!!!😊
This IS actually the BEST game and you just didn't get it because you're British 😂
For the trading, I was just farming bear pelts and selling nothing but that. They sell for a ton of money and I like to buy everything just because.
I still like AC3 a lot more than I like Unity. The voice acting was cheesy (especially for Connor Kenway's character) and the accents were a bit mixed up. But the gameplay is solid and there are plenty of immersive side activities after beating the main game (in contrast to the side activities in Unity which felt like boring chores).
They killed Lucy because the VA quit and they were just too lazy to just recast her.
Thanks!
Loved the Brexit message in Haytham's rooftop speech to Connor ... did nobody else notice lol

Great review. I won’t lie, it kind of made me want to stop playing Assassin’s Creed. I didn’t play the King George Washington DLC, but I am going to try it out before I head to Liberation. Which of course after I play some LEGO games first lol
I never got the bonus costumes. I also can’t access the unity club thing because they shut all the servers down.
You actually can send your recruits on missions across North America
Best game in the series.
Connor is an ass. He's also meant to an ass. The writer did a bunch of interviews on this. Connor is blinded by vengeance to the point rationality is eclipsed. The writer said he wanted to explore what killing hundreds of people would do to the way you related to people. It is meant to be a tragedy, but it was also meant to be the first part. His redemption arc was meant to come after, but never did.
And they decided to end it with that boring snorefest.
