As Connor, a son of a Native American woman and a British soldier, born into the Mohawk, you will eventually cross paths with the Assassins in your search for righteousness.
The game seems to discourage rooftop jumping and parkour, the difficulty is really low. Soldiers just stare at you as you rip apart their buddies, you'd think they would be trained to use their guns.
The side missions are godawful boring. Rooftop assassinations, brawls, swordfighting, shooting, and using bows, everything feels clunky.
Even the parts that are supposed to excel like the big battles, are so restricted. You have to do them in a very particular way, so no running around freely and killing soldiers like the trailers made it seem.
Storyline is nothing to boast about. It's really sad to see such a great series find a new low. The developers took all the American historical events they could and sheohorned Collin into it so that he is the real hero. It feels so contrived. He even was right there at the signing of the national declaration of independence. A rather small yet important event... I mean Collin does not have to be directly involved with every part of the American Revolution, he can witness some of it but you don't need to come up with lame reasons for him to be the leading man for all of it.
The good parts of the game are the naval battles and the multiplayer. If you don't care about either than give this a miss.
