    This first episode leaves you with a feeling of “That’s it?”

    Without a narrative that really drives the episode forward, The Infamy doesn’t feel like a real meaningful addition to Assassin’s Creed 3. It does hint that The Tyranny of King Washington will be a solid add-on as we move further into it, but this introduction mostly leaves the player confused and waiting.

  2. OK Is 8 and everybody who thinks different doesn't know anything about AC The DLC is very interesting and only bad thing is that is short! But if you like AC saga you must play Expand
  3. I admit I had a serious amount of doubts about this whole Tyranny of King Washington thing, but when you play all of the 'real memory artifacts' stuff, you'll get it and probably love it. The only thing that I didn't like were the animal powers that make the game too easy, but in order for the game to be less easy, they put in annoying stuff like dogs. The price is good, however I would have enjoyed something more story centered. Expand

    Besides being ridiculously overpriced and way too short the story of the DLC is nonsense. It establishes an alternative what would have been future about George Washington. Could be alright but not if the main character is the only person who remembers both story lines and is therefore most of the time confused. The level design is pretty poor. For example: You "earn" your special animal power by chasing after wolfs in the animus universe (just plain white level with sighting distance almost zero). Feels like the creators didn't care at all about the atmosphere.
    I also experienced that some cut scenes make references to a former dlc (Key West).
    I own the season pass and I can already tell that the second part is not one bit better. A shame in respect to the huge potential of a story crossover with Connors father Haytham Kenway from the AC3 main story.
