Assassin’s Creed III
Best: The World: Assassin’s Creed III has its list of flaws, and we will get to a big one in a moment, but its cities and forests aren’t on that list. Unlike previous games in the series, ACIII’s wilderness actually felt like a living world, with animals to hunt and more organic-looking trees and cliffs to climb. And the cities, while not as big as some of the previous urban locations, were jam-packed with detail and felt more alive thanks to having more NPCs bustling around.
Worst: The Start: A lot of people never got to the good parts of Assassin’s Creed III mainly because it takes forever to get through the opening chapters and overly long tutorials. Yes, the very start of the game is cool and pulls off one of my favorite twists in the franchise, but the rest of the beginning is a slog that feels like it could have been condensed into something more enjoyable.
