More than ten years have passed since Assassin’s Creed 3 hit the shelves, continuing the saga from three acclaimed games starring the beloved Ezio Auditore da Firenze. This installment transports players to the era of the American Revolution, introducing a more reserved protagonist, quite unlike the charming Ezio of older chapters. Initially, many fans viewed AC3 as a misstep in the series. However, revisiting the game with fresh eyes and the benefit of hindsight reveals that its world design and narrative stand out, arguably making it one of the best entries in the franchise. If you’re eyeing a cost-effective gaming experience instead of the newer Assassin’s Creed Shadows, now’s the perfect time because AC3 is available at a significant discount.
Assassin’s Creed 3 breaks away from the European cityscapes of its predecessors, inviting gamers into the sprawling forests, waterways, and sparsely populated settlements of North America. This new setting means players will spend as much time navigating through tree branches as they do scaling tall towers. One of the game’s most innovative offerings is the inclusion of naval battles, which freshened up the AC formula dramatically.
Beyond just a shift in setting, Assassin’s Creed 3 excels in its detailed portrayal of its historical period. The birth of the United States is depicted through the eyes of a protagonist with a unique heritage—half Mohawk, half British—whose personal journey mirrors the chaotic times of the Revolution. While the modern-day storyline is just as dull as previous ones in the series, and the game suffers from typical Assassin’s Creed issues like repetitive gameplay and unnecessary padding, those who can overlook these flaws will find much to appreciate.
At the moment, Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered is available at a whopping 75% discount, reducing the price to a mere $9.99 USD or £8.49. It’s a deal on Steam that’s hard to resist.
