It doesn't matter if you've already played Assassin's Creed or not, but you're sure you know this series. This brand is already iconic and Ubisoft is a spin. It is of a high quality, but for some titles with a killer, there is a bit of "material fatigue" and that they are already purposeful and intended to be the "donkey shake", from which most dollars fall out. And the hunger for money can also feel from the remastered version of Assassin's Creed III.
AC III is still an impressive game, it is without debate and bringing it to new platforms was actually not a bad idea. However, Ubisoft relies too much on players today to satisfy what the original version offered in 2012. Just edit the graphics a bit, add a few effects, paste some DLC, and you're done. But is it really enough? If you no longer have a 3 in the gaming library, or want to have it on the current generation of consoles, there would be a reason to buy. However, if you are expecting some significant improvements and adjustments for your money, you should put them back in your wallet. Indeed, AC III is still an impressive game ... but this is not the best remaster.
As for the amount of content, you certainly can't complain. In the package you will find a basic game that will take you to the 18th century, the period of colonization of America. Meet Connor the killer, survive with him sections of his childhood and youth while earning a distinctive hooded outfit worn by legitimate secret order members. You will have missions in Boston and New York, as well as naval battles on your own ship. But before that, you get to know Connor's parents - a British father and an Indian mother. And we must not forget Desmond, who is from the present, but thanks to modern technologies and artifacts in the Animus simulation can transfer to the past and convey the experiences of his predecessors - killers. At the same time, along with other collaborators, he reveals new facts and contexts that relate to the order of the ancient Templar enemies.
Even basic content will provide many hours of fun, but in the main menu of the game you will not miss the story expansion of Tyranny of King Washington from alternative reality. It contains three episodes of a fairly bashful story and they are all unlocked right away so you can play any of them immediately. And this is not the only DLC packaged. Benedict Arnold and Hidden Secret Pack missions are also part of the game to give you a complete single player experience.
And there's Assassin's Creed: Liberation Remastered. It runs alone, mapping the paths of the charming Aveline that will take it from New Orleans to the marshes and ancient Mayan ruins. Aveline fights slavery, which corresponds to its origins, but she was lucky to get into a higher society. For infiltration it uses a disguise maid, which is inconspicuous especially when carrying objects. In a lady's clothing, she can charm with her charm or bribe guards. But the killer costume lands the most and in this role comfortably crawls on the roofs and trees and liquidates the enemies, for example, with a blowpipe with poison darts.
And now to what has actually changed and beautified. First of all, it is, of course, graphics, and here was expected to be a major rework to make it look best on the current iron. PCs and consoles will not sweat very much when playing the remastered version, it runs briskly and we have not encountered any major bugs. On a computer, it is conveniently played with the mouse and keyboard, all with just a few standard keys. Most of the activities are handled practically, but for example, when you are attacked by wolves, the "passport" is quite cumbersome with them. .
Parkour, which inherently belongs to this series, is intuitive and comfortable. Movement combined with a single key, possibly accompanied by a jump, is quickly adopted by players. Jumping from one roof to another, climbing ledges, but also branches and rocks, is brisk and you can learn not only from Indians, but also monkeys. In general, the game seeks to bring Assassin's Creed games closer to its newer user interface, economy and stealth features.
But back to the graphics. Obviously, the creators worked on it, but some components were neglected. So you can now start the game in 4K resolution, but if you have an ultrawide monitor, you won't be happy to block the ability to change the aspect ratio. Simply, the game will not allow you to use the 21: 9 setting. But this can be achieved through unofficial fixes. Ubisoft itself has not yet tried to solve this problem with a patch. In the case of an upgraded version of an older game where graphical enhancements play an important role, it's really annoying. Furthermore, it is a pity that the authors did not play with some textures and did not modify certain details, for example young Connor's curly hair is like a fist on the eye and looks like a shabby straw. But among us, in general, when looking into the face of a young Connor is rather unsympathetic (and even Desmond is not very charismatic), fortunately, as a mature killer looks much better.
And then there are cut-out scenes. For some, you can see that they go straight into the game and they don't look worst. But most of the time, they are embedded scenes of obviously lower quality, with much less detail. And since the game is overcrowded with cut-scenes, the player feels often looking at less-quality nipples. The fps limit of approximately 60 frames per second may also be more difficult. So, on the one hand, high resolution, new lighting and some added effects, but on the other hand limitations of settings and insufficient adjustments to selected components.
Assassin's Creed III Remastered has multiple pros and cons. Plus, rich content with a DLC collection creates a full and still impressive solo mode experience. Further slightly improved some drives and controls, to some extent graphics. However, adjusting the game parameters is only partial and more could be done with the visual - not as attractive and precise as it could be. For players who haven't tasted these adventures with Connor or Aveline before, it's a very good choice. For the knowledgeable and experienced dilemma. The three did not move significantly forward qualitatively, and if you have the original game with DLC, you won't find any major adjustments in the remaster for which you should buy it.
