    Ubisoft goes the extra mile with "The Tyranny of King Washington", and brings us a DLC with personality. The virtues we could see in Assassin's Creed III are maintained and added to those "The Tyranny" possesses, offering a new gameplay within a setting that is both original and appealing.

    What episode one of the Tyranny storyline allows then is something which brings that which worked before, scales back that which failed and starts a fresh story more immediate than the main one became towards the end. It’s over as quickly as it started and leaves you wanting more - both for the immediate quenching of the tale to hand but also as an opening into the possible futures.

    Players of the third Assassin's Creed will find an interesting extra in this downloadable content.
  4. Every episode Connor gains a new power and the first one you'll get your hands on is the power of the wolf. With this power Connor can become invisible or summon a pack of wolves. This means that you will be doing a lot of eavesdropping missions, which are not very entertaining. [March 2013, p.92]

  1. It is so frustrating when they have sooooo many cool things in a game from mechanics to just fun things to do and still make a crappy game! I almost wonder if the people who design these games play video games themselves! I tried very hard to like this game but it just sucks plain and simple!!! Expand
  2. They could have done soo much more with the game, really so so much more, but nooo.
    they had to make you play an expansion with even LESS opt
    ions than AC3 vanilla, less ways of doing the missions but yes, with te same enemies and Crappy AI, and worse pathfinding issues. Expand
