This is the fifth instalment of the Assassin’s Creed series which is a sequel to 2011’s Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.

The Story:

So after the very confusing events from the previous game, it begins with us being introduced to a new character that helps Desmond and the gang to continue the battle Between the Assassins and Templars. But as we all know from previous games this is not their main objective. In order to find a way to avert the 2012 ‘apocalypse’, Desmond must find an object lost somewhere in America that will allow him to open a temple door that holds a ‘key’ (according to ‘The Ones That Came Before’) to stop the upcoming doom. To find the object Desmond must relive the memories of his half-English, half-Mohawk ancestor, Ratonhnhaké:ton – also known as Connor which was later given to him so he could hide his true Native-American nationality from others. Connor’s time era is set in the 18th century – before, during and after the American Revolution – from 1753 to 1783. This is the final chapter of Desmond Miles’ story which holds many shocking twists. Thankfully this game explains pretty much all the questions we had in the previous games including a truth of an old particular member of Desmond’s gang. Personally I loved this story as there are so many intriguing moments in both Connor’s and Desmond’s story. Every video gamer thought that this was going to be the last Assassin’s Creed game but we were all wrong…

The Game Play:

So with a new ancestor and a new time period, it was no surprise that the development and look of this game would be different. Not only does it all look refreshing but we have new inventive weapons we can wield including a tomahawk, a rope dart and a bow and arrow as well as the old favourite hidden blade. You can choose between a variety of swords, guns, costumes and much, much more. You get to build up a community town by recruiting certain people and by buying hunting and industrial goods. By hunting I mean you can actual hunt animals for their skins such as rabbits, deer, bears and many other creatures big and small. The charter movements have also been improved with new skills and techniques for BOTH Connor and Desmond (yes, you get to play missions with Desmond for the first time). Another complete first time game experience which I was really looking forward to was the fact that you could play missions and side missions that involve sea battles where you can actually take control of a ship. I wish they had a free roaming feature for this as I could spend hours doing it. But as a positive you could replay the missions if you really wanted to.

With so many new game play features this is without a doubt the best Assassin’s Creed game play I have seen from the franchise.

The Graphics:

Once again the creators of the franchise did not fail to disappoint this time around. New advanced techniques have been used to enhance graphic quality. Considering how big each map location is, it is an unbelievably astonishing mixture of 360 degree detail as far as the eye can see.

The Music:

To be honest I was not sure how this was going to turn out as for the past 3 years we have been used to the same genre of music mainly including the theme music but personally I was very surprised when I found myself absolutely loving the soundtrack which in my opinion produced one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard.

Assassin’s Creed III – Trouble in Town

So all in all this has been an astonishing improvement from the last game. The Creators of Assassin’s Creed have thankfully redeemed themselves of the mess they made with the previous game. So much so that I honestly think this is the Best Assassin’s Creed Game to date I have ever played and is up there with my top 5 ultimate favourite games of all time. That is why I have given this game… 9/10
