The Assassin's Creed series has been polarizing over the years. People have both criticized and lauded the automatic free running system, the counter-based combat mechanic, and the sci-fi/historical setting.

In case you're wondering, yes, the Assassin's Creed series is still about a bartender in 2012 saving the world from imminent destruction by reliving the exploits of his ancestors at the behest of cybergods.

Assassin's Creed III is a fantastic game that's marred only by a glacial few opening hours, a surfeit of history and exposition, and the odd glitch. That aside, ACIII is a triumph and the perfect way to say hello to Connor.
