why I HATE assassins creed 3 Remastered on Switch

Hello, welcome back to a new video game

review. Today I'm going to be talking

about Assassin's Creed 3 Remastered on

Switch Lite. So I've been playing this

game for a few hours now and I can

honestly say it is the most boring game

I have ever played. Ah, there's so much I

hate about this game, I don't even know

where to be— to begin. So let's get the

good things out the way with first because

that won't take very long. So the good

things about the game is it looks pretty

good, and I like the time frame, you know,

the time setting, the period of time that

it's set in, back when America belonged to

the British. And you know, it really

should still belong to the British.

America was made by the British and then

stolen from the British from its

rebellious settlers who didn't like being

told what to do and then teamed up with

the bloody French Uh, to tag team the

British and steal America from us.

And as a fellow person of Britishness in

real life and in the game, because the

main character is also British, I thought,

wow, this is so cool, I get to be part of,

um, building America and

being part of colonizing it and getting to

see what it's like as a British person

back in the 1700s. But no, for these

stupid kids, why are they Get— well, get

lost, stupid idiots. Uh, what was

I saying? Oh yeah, so as someone who's

quite interested in the colonial era and

the creation of America, um, I was quite

interested in, in being part of creating

it. And unfortunately, all of the missions

so far involve attacking the

British. Look at all these soldiers

standing around. The only people you can

attack and kill in the game are the

British soldiers. Why? Why has every

single mission so far been to try and

sabotage the British Empire, the greatest

empire in the entire world? I want to be

part of it, you know. I don't want to be

attacking the British soldiers. Look how

cool they look marching around in their

red uniforms. I want to be one. And the

main character is like this really

high-class, posh-sounding British guy.

And you'd think, oh, he's, he's like a

loyal servant of the Empire. But then all

the missions so far— I don't even know

what the story is about— but all of the

missions so far all involved attacking the

British soldiers and the forts and

releasing prisoners and the natives. I

still don't know what the story is. A few

of the missions involved assassinating

some random guy and then freeing some

captives and then Dressing— disguising

yourself up as a British soldier and then

attacking the other British soldiers. I

don't see the point. Why am I attacking my

own people? As a fellow British person,

it just feels wrong. I don't want to be

attacking my own fellow British soldiers

and the British regulars. Look how cool

they look. Oh, he just pushed me, this

stupid idiot. And then look how stupid

the combat is. Okay, oh my God, there's a

whole army of them. Then you might be

thinking, oh, you're doomed now. No, the

combat is so easy and unchallenging, you

can literally take on 50 people and,

and not die. So Assassin's

Creed combat basically involves spamming

attack and attack whilst the enemies just

crowd around you. I just got shot by how

Yeah, the whole combat involves countering

them, waiting for that little red thing to

pop up. Watch. Wait, you'll do the timing

better. Let me concentrate.

Why isn't that— oh, it's because I'm

looking at the screen through the camera's

screen and it's kind of delayed, so I

won't be very good at the combat here like

I usually am. But the combat is just— it

doesn't feel fun, it doesn't feel

challenging, it's just like button

mashing. You can

do some pretty cool special moves, and

when you first play it, yeah, the combat

looks really cool. All the animations and

the finishing attacks look really great,

but there's no feeling of satisfaction

like in Chivalry 2 when you attack people

and you get a get a clean cleave and you

take off someone's legs and arms, that

feels really good. Look, I just wiped out

like a whole army all by myself.

They're so useless. They— I don't know why

the combat is so easy in this game, but it

just— it's not challenging, it's not fun,

it just looks cool. And unfortunately,

when you're playing a game, the game has

to be fun and challenging, not just look

cool. See, watch this. So that's 2 down

already, and then this

is really hard to time the counters when

I'm looking at it through the viewfinder.

See, they're so useless.

You can one-shot kill almost all of them,

and then that guy's like the officer who's

a bit more challenging.

And then the other good thing about the

combat is you can pick up any weapon.

Well, there's loads now, so you can pick

up anything they drop, like the muskets.

You can pick those up as well, but all the

weapons don't really feel any different.

It's just like a different skin of the

same thing. They all do the same thing

really. There's no different attributes,

like you'd expect the musket to be longer

range but slower, but then do more damage.

But it all just feels the same to me

personally. See how easy it is?

I just never felt— feel any kind of

challenge or satisfying feelings

with the combat system. It gets really

repetitive, so you're just mashing 2

buttons. There's no combos,

or there's no depth to it really.

You can just wipe them all out. And I

don't like attacking them, because like I

said before, I don't really want to be

sabotaging the Empire. I want to be

helping it and being a part of it. Why

can't we attack the French or someone

else? I don't know. Look, you can pick up

the muskets. So the other part of

Assassin's Creed games is you can climb up

buildings like this, and every single

Assassin's Creed game has always had this.

This was like the main unique selling

point of the Assassin's Creed series. I

remember when the first game came out,

everyone was so amazed with the parkour

and the counter block attack kind of

combat system which was pretty new at the

time. Things haven't really changed at all

since the first game. It's still pretty

much the same. You do parkour, you jump up

buildings, you go up to the really high

towers to get a view, then you jump off

into a pile of hay. The combat system

feels almost exactly the same. When I last

played Assassin's Creed, I was probably a

teenager, and it just doesn't feel like

anything's different. It's just a

different skin over the game. Instead of

it being in Jerusalem and the Crusade

times. Now it's in— what's it called— the

colonial times.

And, uh, yeah, the gameplay is kind of

boring because the parkour— the parkour

looks cool, but there's no challenge to it

at all. There's no skill involved in

climbing the buildings. You just hold the

trigger button and then you run into it,

and then he does it all automatically,

you know. He just chooses where to climb

onto, he chooses where to cling onto, he

automatically jumps from ledge to ledge.

You don't really have to do much, you just

push forwards on the thumbstick whilst

holding the shoulder button. And it's just

like everything in this game, it looks

cool, but it's just not challenging, it's

not fun, it doesn't feel good. And then,

um, what else do I not like about the

game? So it looks like a big open world,

And you'd think it would be like, oh,

it's like Red Dead Redemption or Kingdom

Come, but it really isn't. It has like an

illusion of being an open world game when

really there's not much to do in the city.

There's like a few minigames you can play

and then there's some quest givers, but

the city just feels really lifeless and

not believable. And nothing

sporadic or random ever happens.

The only fun thing to do to relieve

boredom is just randomly attack the guards

like this. Otherwise, there's nothing to

do. They're the only, only enemies you can

attack. And then even that gets

boring after a while.

And then there's also different mission

types where, well, one type

of mission that's quite common is you have

to trail a target person and then

eavesdrop, and then if you get too close

to him, then he detects you, and then

you've got to start the whole mission all

over again. It's really boring, it's

really frustrating. There's also other

missions where it's kind of like stealth,

so you've got to free captives without

getting noticed. You've got to sneak

around, and I failed that mission like 20

times because I kept getting detected by a

stupid guard when I could have just taken

out all the guards easily. I could have

just wiped out the whole camp. That would

have been easier than trying to sneak

around. And it just feels like there's

different kind of missions, but they all

just feel like little minigames that are

Yeah, luckily I only got this game for

70%. Discount, so I only paid like £11.

Imagine paying £40 for this. I mean, the

game looks good for a Switch game. It does

look nice, but the

story is so boring. I don't even know what

the story's about. It's like this weird

posh high-class upper guy, and then he's

got some kind of mission to do. I have no

idea what the story is. It just doesn't

make any sense. One minute you, you're

going to this place, and then you're

meeting this guy, and then you have to do

this and do that. I don't even know what

I'm doing. Doing or why I'm doing

it. So yeah, in conclusion,

I do not recommend this game. It is pretty

rubbish, very disappointing. I don't think

I'd ever buy an Assassin's Creed game ever

again because they're always the same.

They don't make any effort to change

things up. They just add like a few extra

gimmicks, different time period, and

that's it really. It's like same

Assassin's Creed game over and over, a

different skin on top of it. So this is

probably going to be my last ever

Assassin's Creed game because I just don't

really like the game franchise. But thanks

for listening to my review.
