Greetings from Lithuania.
First time i played "Assassin's Creed III" (2012) was upon its release in 2012. I did not finish it then because my PC broke, and i did not return the game after getting a new one. This time i played the game in 2019 on my PS4 - a remastered version. Boy oh boy did this game aged poorly. I didn't really liked it that much in 2012, and i surely did not in 2019. Why?
The game has an epic story if you ask me, or more like an epic idea of a story. It has good graphics and parkour is good. Those are the best things about this game, because everything else here is a mess. I literally forced myself this time to finish its story. The DLC's were uninspiring and not interesting. The game features mechanics like crafting but in a highly convoluted and over complicated way. I literally finished a game without crafting a single item. Why bother doing it if you literally do not requite anything to finish a story. Why bother with all the side stuff if it leads it to nothing. The very next game "Black Flag" nailed it by giving played a reason and reword for exploration, but there was not such thing in part 3.
Overall, i do like the series, played all games i liked them all except for art 3 which isn't bad but a poor game, and atrociously bad "Liberation". This game is as boring and uninspiring as it can be.
