Unlike say, Dishonored, where you are left to your own devices to achieve your goals, AA3 always suggests what you should do. The problem with Assassin's Creed 3 is essentially hand-holding. Controlling your boat is simple, but great fun, and amazing to watch. A new area of combat is naval battles, and they are spectacular. Like previous games, Assassin's Creed 3 has some jaw dropping vistas and really succeeds in bringing its historical setting to life.Ĭombat is what you will expect from Assassin's Creed, and although there are new weapons to try out, it can be as repetitive as ever. The atmosphere in Assassin's Creed 3 is beautfully captured by the excellent graphics in all the locations. While that might sound a little Forrest Gump, it does make Assassin's Creed 3 genuinely fascinating, as feeling a part of these historical moments is a great feeling.
