The verdict
A story-rich American Revolution entry with brutal combat and naval battles, but the remaster has ugly faces and lighting, many bugs and a very slow start. Skip it if you want a polished remaster.
Great for
Series fans who want Connor's story, Desmond's conclusion, naval battles and the American Revolution setting
Main risk
The remaster looks worse than the original and is buggy, with a slow prologue and tedious 100% goals
What players love
Brutal, satisfying combat
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews
“The combat is fast, brutal, and incredibly satisfying, making Connor feel like one of the strongest Assassins in the series.”
