Is the latest installment in the Assassian Creed series more of the same? Find out in our review.
The gameplay in Assassin’s Creed 3 is actually more of the same, which is both good and bad. The aqueous combat from the previous games return accompanied by even more brutal combats and sadistic kill animations. While it is fun to feel like an unstoppable killing machine, being able to counter any attack with the push of one button lowers the difficulty significantly. New weapons such as the tomahawk or the Gamestop exclusive Sawtooth Sword provide varying kill animations yet no unique strategy is needed to wield them. Combat is fun, but a bit more challenge would have been welcomed, especially for the fifth game in the series. Luckily, the story of Assassin’s Creed 3 will keep you enthralled.
