UBISOFT ASSASSINS CREED III REMASTERED

I got to play Assassin's Creed 3 before it released the first time around. I wasn’t a critic back then, but I did have a friend who worked at Blockbuster. She knew what a huge fan of the series I was, so I got to rent a copy of the game before it officially released. I was so excited to play the game early, and was so disappointed when I did. But now, seven years on, I’m ready to try and again and see what remastering the least popular game in the franchise actually means.

Assassin's Creed 3, in the right light, looked like a diamond-in-the-rough. The twist at the beginning of the game with Haytham was remarkably effective, but playing as him was boring. The chance to freerun across the wild frontier sounded exciting but the urban areas were completely uninteresting. When the remaster was announced, I had hoped that some of these faults might have been removed or polished before release. They were not.
