![]() Unfortunately, the execution left something to be desired. Worse still, the disappointment was compounded by the fact that Assassin’s Creed III started you off by playing as the deliciously slick Templar agent Haytham Kenway before switching over to Conor for the rest of the game. Though his Native American background was interesting, Conor himself sadly was not and roundly disappointed players with his overly stoic nature and one-dimensional writing. While the breathtaking sweep and spectacle afforded by the improved visuals and evocative Revolutionary War setting proved compelling, Assassin’s Creed III’s protagonist sadly proved anything but. Though the shift to a new engine and the Revolutionary War were welcome, the presence of Conor as Assassin’s Creed III’s main protagonist was not. Set in 18th century New York City and Boston and boasting a shiny new engine *and* a Native American protagonist, Assassin’s Creed III looked like the reboot that the series needed – well, on paper anyway. Though a glossy and ultimately decent enough end to the trilogy, Assassin’s Creed Revelations simply felt like the developers had ran out of ideas as the game failed to be implement any new features to meaningfully separate it from its predecessors – a shame given the creative toy-box of possibilities that this entry in the series held. The final part of the Ezio trilogy, Assassin’s Creed Revelations whisked our now aging hero off to 16th century Constantinople and bringing his tale to a close in the process.īy bringing little new to the table, Assassin’s Creed Revelations wasn’t quite the closer to the Ezio trilogy that we hoped. Like Assassin’s Creed III before it, Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation is also set to undergo extensive remastering when it is released on PS4 sometime early next year. ![]() If anything, Liberation is perhaps more fondly remembered as providing Sony’s beloved PS Vita handheld with an Assassin’s Creed experience that was as close to full-fat as it was ever going to get. Though technically impressive in its PS Vita debut, Assassin’s Creed Liberation didn’t do quite enough to allow it to stand shoulder to shoulder with the series core offerings.Ī streamlined take on the traditional Assassin’s Creed formula, Liberation offered little that was truly new to the franchise outside of its bold choice of main protagonist. Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation (PS3, PS Vita, PS4)Ī series first, Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation broke the mold by allowing players to step into the boots of Aveline, an Assassin who must undo the influence of the Templars in her home of 18th century New Orleans. Nonetheless, while the very first Assassin’s Creed was arguably one of the lesser entries in the franchise, it’s crusades-era setting is still one that deserves a series return.ġ1. Repetitive mission design, an overly convoluted plot and face numbing amounts of busywork all added up to an effort that was decidedly less than the sum of its shiny parts. However, it wasn’t long before cracks began to appear in Assassin’s Creed seemingly impeccable facade. All the same, there is still a great deal of creative mileage left in its Crusades Era setting. ![]() Where it all began – future titles would build upon the basic foundations of the first Assassin’s Creed with aplomb. An opulent and frequently breathtaking hybrid of open world adventure, stealth, parkour and a story that rather vigorously humped the leg of Dan Brown, it’s fair to say that many were taken with the game that started it all nearly 11 years ago. When Assassin’s Creed made its debut back in November 2007, there wasn’t anything quite like it on the market. A shame really, as we still believe that a decent 2D take on the Assassin’s Creed series can be achieved – however Assassin’s Creed Chronicles just isn’t it sadly.
