Haytham’s gaggle of evildoers are pretty fun to watch, all firmly in the moustache-twirling category of villainy after the opening of the game is done, but pleasingly certain that they are the good guys in all of this. The opening three sequences featuring Haytham Kenway is still an excellent twist, soured slightly by Haytham being a far more interesting and charismatic character than Connor himself. Again, the day one patch might have remedied some of these, but it’s hard to tell for the more infrequent issues.ĭespite the bugs, there is a lot to enjoy here. Sometimes in combat, the icons that alert you to an incoming attack don’t display for some reason without warning, often resulting in a sword to a body part, and some missions failed to explain mechanics that are almost completely unique to them adequately, result in trial and error desynchronisations. This last issue seems to have been remedied by a large day one patch, but the flickering snow remains. Similar glitches also show up in cities, but less frequently, with the worst being the rare sight of damage in stonework flickering on walls as two textures overlapping or doubled NPC spawns.
The frontier is also home to lots of visual glitches, such as snow flickering between its fresh and walked on states, which I experienced for hours at a time whilst exploring this area of the large map. Outside of AC3 Liberation, which thanks to its PS Vita origins is visually the lesser of the two, these blurry areas are usually found in the frontier, AC3’s wilderness that connects its cities and homestead together. Environments tend to look sharp and detailed, but there are a few areas where textures seem blurry.
At times it almost looks like a game from early in this current generation minus a few post processing effects, but within that it’s still inconsistent. Whichever way you lean on either game, Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered is unlikely to change your mind. Despite a more interesting main character, the same can be said for Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation, which is also included in the package. Whilst there are plenty who remember Connor’s adventure with fondness thanks to improved combat, pretty vistas and lots of involved side content, others found the slow pace of the story, the dreadful dullness of Connor himself as a character and some bugginess underwhelming. Assassin’s Creed 3 is remembered with mixed feelings.
