The game is a drastic departure from previous Assassin’s Creed titles, taking place in North America amidst the American Revolution. Set in New England between 1753 and 1783, players take on the role of Connor, a half-English, half-Mohawk warrior who finds himself torn between two worlds. Amidst the turmoil, Connor joins the Assassins and finds himself drawn to the revolutionary cause.

Give it time and Assassin’s Creed III may prove itself the best experience this year. With the game’s mix of a hugely interactive open world, a compelling setting, and a finely tuned combat system, I’m eager to return to delve even further into the Animus. Combining the best of the franchise so far, Assassin’s Creed III doesn’t disappoint long-time fans who’ve been with the series while also making it easy enough to jump in for the kill.

Admittedly, after a few spin-offs of Ezio’s adventure, Assassin’s Creed as a franchise grew stale to me. The prospect of the new more familiar locale, a new Assassin, and a new engine promised the evolution I was seeking. Ubisoft has delivered in spades. Assassin’s Creed III takes everything that worked well in previous titles, sprinkled in a touch of Red Dead Redemption, tweaked the combat to be as smooth as Batman: Arkham City, borrowed the cinematic and character development of Uncharted 2, and polished it all off to be one of, if not the very best, game of 2012. It will be remembered fondly as one of the crowning achievements of this console generation, and offers a window to what next-generation titles may be capable of in scale, story, and wealth of content.

Even with all of these tweaks and additions, there is one feature that I love more than the rest—the naval combat. The first time I took command of a ship, I felt both intimidated and exasperated with how massive it felt. You can literally feel how big the ship is while commanding her around the waters of the world. Add the simplistic but effective way you’ll wage war in your ship, and I think I want a downloadable game to relive all of the famous naval battles of the past utilizing the already established mechanics of this game.

Assassin’s Creed III is unavoidably, inescapably epic. Lingering technical issues that have affected the franchise since the beginning are clear, and the multiplayer really isn’t anything too special. Beyond that, if you step back and see this game for what it is, if you cast a wandering eye on an unparalleled landscape (in terms of sheer detail and historical accuracy), if you walk down the colonial streets, fly through the snow-laden branches of trees, or fend off a horde of foes, you will feel the thrill of what is correctly labeled a masterpiece. Not all masterpieces are technically perfect. Some simply thrive on a extraordinary vision.

Assassin’s Creed III is the culmination of a story and gameplay model that’s taken five years to polish. While not perfect, it makes a convincing case for the freedom and storytelling potential inherent to games over other mediums. An overwhelming experience in its own right, Assassin’s Creed III is the crown jewel on an already excellent series, and it sets the mind reeling about the potential for where the story goes from here.

Certainly we have a few bugs to contend with, but there is so much content in this title, so much to explore and experience, that it transcends anything I’d have to say about it. Freerunning has taken on new life with Connor’s ability to flit through the trees, and the new weapons hem nicely into the freedom and wealth of options of the series. While Assassin’s Creed III is likely the last of the series we’ll see on this generation of consoles, it embodies everything we’ve come to expect from Ubisoft’s incredible games. I can personally guarantee it’ll see the top of many “Game of the Year†lists, perhaps even our own – Assassin’s Creed III is a masterpiece.

Colonial America is an absolute dream for a setting. Cities like Boston and New York are filled to the brim with European influences while the frontier land is largely dominated by native tribes. Ubisoft did a solid job casting voice actors to fill the variety of main characters and general citizens. The English sound English, the French sound French, and the natives, well, that may be the one area that misses the mark. At times that natives sound either overly stereotypical, or overly simplistic. Some of the early levels that show young natives do a good job of introducing players to the wilderness and stress the importance natives place on harmony for all living things. Back in the cities, it’s a rough place for anyone, especially .

All of which is distressingly damning, and sadly there’s more to come. The game opens with a twist that we shan’t spoil here, and in terms of story setup and establishing cast members and motivation it works well. But it also takes one of the series’ ongoing flaws – ponderous extended tutorials – to a farcical extent. The game has 12 sequences in total, and only at number six do you truly feel able to explore the game as you’d like. Even then certain side-missions and activities are barely explained or introduced, meaning that you end up having to cram these into the period towards the game’s end – at which point it seems incongruous to do so as the narrative is reaching its conclusion.
