Ubisoft is even turning the design into its own game, Skull & Bones. You’ll often find fans and critics of the series rank Black Flag as one of the best entries in the franchise. Many gamers love Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and its ship combat. None of its features stand out as breakout successes, but some of them are special. For Assassin’s Creed III, it’s an ambitious hodgepodge of a lot of ideas.Ībove: Moments like this make Assassin’s Creed III worth playing. When you think of those games, you think of those features. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag steered its course to highlight naval combat. Brotherhood had its successful focus on a single open-world city. Assassin’s Creed II stood out thanks to the likable character of Ezio. I can kind of understand where he’s coming from. As Kotaku’s Kirk Hamilton put it at the time, “ nothing really works all that well.” But nothing stands out as a standout success. Along with all the new features, it’s a big game. Assassin’s Creed III had multiple cities, a wilderness separating them, and the homestead. The previous games, Brotherhood and Revelations, focused on a single city. This wealth of features would become a point of criticism with many that felt Assassin’s Creed III stretched itself too thin. It revamped the series’ combat and traversal mechanics and added new features, such as hunting, naval combat, and the development of a homestead town. I was ecstatic when Ubisoft chose it as the setting for Assassin’s Creed III.īeyond the setting, Assassin’s Creed III is an ambitious game. I had the American Revolution at the top of my list. Some would say Feudal Japan (they’re still waiting), others wanted Ancient Egypt (last year’s Assassin’s Creed: Origins made that wish come true). When Assassin’s Creed II made it clear that the series would explore multiple eras in history, fans began proclaiming their dream setting. I also just really like all of those fancy coats. And the events of their time, a war for independence against the greatest power in the world and then the attempt to start a democratic government, propelled them to greatness. But the characters that dominated this era - Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, and more - have rich, strong personalities. He is also a historical actor and will take up the persona of Jefferson, portraying the founding father while discussing the events of his time and trying to give his perspective on our era.Īs an American, I have an inherit interest in the founding of the country. I listen to a podcast called The Thomas Jefferson Hour, which humanities scholar Clay S. It focuses on pivotal moments, like the Aaron Burr-Alexander Hamilton duel and President George Washington’s farewell address. I’m reading Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation by historian Joseph Ellis.
The American Revolution is my favorite era in history.
