Quality of life improvements to gameplay such as the ability to craft weapons you could once only purchase, and a revised mini-map that now shows enemy elevation and facing direction make stealth play more intuitive. It’s been over six years since I’ve played Assassin’s Creed III, and while I had forgotten bits and pieces much of the story came back to me as it unfolded on the screen, only this time it was in glorious 4K with all sorts of improvements, and not just visually. Bottom line you are getting dozens of hours of gameplay with this latest remastered title. They even included Assassin’s Creed Liberation Remastered the 4K remaster of the PC and console HD remake of the PlayStation Vita original. Ubisoft has packed in loads of bonus content including all the original DLC Benedict Arnold Missions, Hidden Secrets Pack, and Tyranny of King Washington all of which will add hours to your American Revolution experience. This remaster goes beyond technical improvements. It was around this time last year when they delivered the outstanding remastered version of Assassin’s Creed Rogue and now, freshly updated for new consoles and high-end PC’s supporting new lighting, enhanced character models, high resolution textures, improved visual effects, and support for 4K and HDR, welcome back to Assassin’s Creed III.

Remastering video games might seem like a cheap ploy for studios to cash in on existing franchises with minimal effort, but Ubisoft seems to have genuinely put in the effort when it comes to their Assassin’s Creed games.
