Assassin's Creed III Remastered Reviews
Lackluster enhancements do little to improve an already polarizing adventure
Assassin's Creed III gave you the chance to enjoy some simple yet fun Assassin's Creed action, in a vast, Colonial-era Boston - and now you can carry all that on your backpack. It wasn't perfect, sure, but the same can be said for the rest of the earlier entries as well. The real disappointment here comes from its new, remastered iteration, which doesn't really upgrade things as much as it should - at least when it comes to the Switch, which is the worst of the available versions.
Assassin’s Creed III on Switch is easily the weakest 'Remastered' version of the game that’s been released thus far.
The Assassin's Creed 3 Remaster improved the graphics and very little else. There is a reason this game is one of the least popular in the series history and without anything done to address its previous faults, its age makes it even more unpalatable.
Both Assassin's Creed III and Liberation are titles worth investing time into. They contain tons of content that's fun, and the time setting makes for some interesting scenarios, but the technical issues for this Switch port aren't worth the trade off for being able to play on the go. These issues aren't bad enough that the Remastered editions on the Switch are an unplayable mess, but it's still a mess regardless.
If you have played the Wii U version of the game, save yourself some money and go back and play that, the experience and look will still be the same as you would get on the Switch.
This remaster doesn't bring much in terms of new content, and visual changes that are headlined aren't done as well as they should be. In that regard, it still holds up as a great Assassin's Creed game that is worthy of any fan's money.
For better or worse, Assassin's Creed III Remastered introduces the polarising Connor Kenway to current gen consoles. Aside from some impressive graphical reworking, it is in many ways a simple port: bugs and issues with the original remain largely the same outside of some much-appreciated quality of life improvements and a handful of minor tweaks. Those who enjoyed the original, as well as Assassin's Creed fans who haven't yet played it, will likely appreciate this remaster for what it is, as long as nothing revolutionary is expected of it.
Despite a beautiful lick of paint, and some much-needed gameplay improvements, Assassin's Creed III Remastered still suffers from the same issues that dogged the original back in 2012.
Efforts have been made modernise Assassin's Creed III, however they're little more than superficial. Still, this is the best option for those looking to experience Connor's journey.
Assassin's Creed III Remastered is an adaptation that has its ups and downs. If the overall gameplay mechanics are good and enjoyable and the combat feels right to the player, the game also has several elements that need improvement, such as its hit detection system and framerate. While the overall experience is positive, the game needs polishing to be up to the series' name.

Overall, Assassin's Creed III Remastered is a bunch of fun and worth picking up thanks to the variety of content, but it is not without its issues.
Assassin's Creed III Remastered is a simple port of the old game. Graphic improvements are very modest at best. Given the lack of significant unique additions to the formula, this adaptation can be recommended only to the most loyal fans.

Even a high-quality remaster such as this can't hide the fact that Assassin's Creed III is too much a product of its time and has little to offer modern gaming.
Assassin's Creed III remastered contains a lot of content and you will definitely enjoy playing it. Still it still feels like a game which was released years ago. Not a must have, rather a nice to have.

There is no appropriate word to describe Assassin's Creed 3 than (contradictory). As the fifth version of the series offers the many advantages and innovations required for any special series after a great recession was the version of Revelations, which was a replica of the previous version, but the better graphics not enough to save it as much as the game lies in the same traps of boredom

In a way, Assassin’s Creed III: Remastered is only for individuals who have never played Assassin’s Creed III. If you already own an original copy of the game, there is no need to sit through an experience featuring a rather jarring and plastic-faced Haytham Kenway.
In the end, Assassins Creed 3 is one of the best remakes of this generation, and although changing gameplay mechanics in a remake is not something usual, Ubisoft's decision to take this risk pays off.

Assassin's Creed III Remastered is a collection of the series' black sheep, and it shows in the awkward pacing and quest design, but the new graphical enhancements and gameplay improvements, in addition to the interesting story and the killer Tyranny of King Washington makes it a worthwhile entry to those who want more Assassin's Creed.

The Remaster doesn't differ much from the original version unless we speak about the visuals, if you haven't played this game especially the Tyranny of King Washington DLC then you may enjoy it, although if you went through it before you won't find anything to come back to with the remaster.
