Сюжет здесь довольно банальный, не интересный. Короче он никакой, просто скучный, никак не цепляет. Персонажи тоже не вызывают никаких эмоций, кроме как скуку. Герои кажутся картонными, не ощущается живыми.

В открытом мире у нас есть куча посредственных активностей. Это разного рода собирательства, точки обзора и лавки, которые надо покупать.
Геймплейно игра похожа на Assassin’s Creed 3. Есть нововведение – личины Авелины. Личины три: личина рабыни, личина ассассина и личина госпожи. В личине рабыни легко сливаться с себе подобными, устраивать драки, да и стража не захочет с такими иметь дело. Личина госпожи позволяет проходить в охраняемые зоны, очаровывая или подкупая стражу. Костюм госпожи не позволяет Авелине паркурить и в нем можно носить только Скрытые клинки и дымовые шашки, костюм рабыни позволяет паркурить, но арсенал оружия тоже не полный. Пару новых видов вооружения – дротики с ядом, зонтик и кнут.

Из плюсов можно отметить красивый мир, ну это у Ubisoft всегда получалось хорошо.

Итог
Не советую эту игру никому. Эта часть серии просто очень плохой проходняк. Здесь ужасно скучный сюжет, картонные, не запоминающиеся персонажи. Здесь интересно только нововведение с личинами, первое время интересна эта механика, когда дают возможность это делать.
42/100

Aveline's story is done a disservice by the poorly done concept of Abstergo hiding the truth from you, and it doesn't help that the writing seems hastily done as well. Citizen E doesn't fix it either, as the ending is jarring whether you kill all of them or not.

Furthermore, the remaster of this game (even with AC3R) doesn't really improve a significant margin over the original release on the Vita. The improvements are mostly graphically and framerate-wise, and the game is still locked at a weird 80fps, and the graphics are okay-ish. The gameplay is still affected by the technical limitations of the Vita and is not really improved that much.

Regardless, some of the moments this game has are fairly okay, the Bayou is relatively well crafted and the setting is believable enough. As always, the more Uncharted-esque parts are pretty fun to go through, and the Connor cameo is cool, but seems to just be a way to connect this to AC3.

All around, just mediocre. Could've been good, ended up being a huge letdown for an interesting character.

Liberation is a neat spin-off of Assassin's Creed 3. It is smaller in scale and with the HD version, you can still feel that it was originally a PS Vita game. The story feels pretty rushed but again with the setting set in the 18th century like AC III and AC Black Flag it is still interesting. New Orleans is small but neatly designed. The Bayou is cool with all the traversing on and between trees. There is even a small section set in Chichén Itzá where the game feels like an Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider game. You even get a whip on which you can swing. If you want more Assassin's Creed you should give it a try but you can feel that it was not intended to be a full game and more like a smaller addition to the main games. It is still better than Unity though.

+Beautiful and varied locations
+Fun concept with the "censored" story that you need to hack through, and I enjoyed the story overall.
+Despite not being the most interesting character, I really like the representation that Aveline brings.
+A small game that doesn't have one million side things. There are collectibles and side missions, but they felt more optional than the other games, which I find refreshing
+Persona system is interesting, even though it isn't implemented in the best way.

-No fast travel within locations. Even though both New Orleans and the bayou are fairly small, it would have helped the game flow at bit better at times.
-Some (a lot of?) people will find the "smallness" I mentioned as being refreshing to be a deterrent.

Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I have barely heard anything about it, and while I hesitate to call it a hidden gem, it is definitely a hidden... piece of precious metal? Yeah.

An okay entry to the series. The main city of New Orleans is pretty small and not very interesting and the bayou is a pain in the butt to navigate. The canoes were great idea in concept but the use of them wasn't fun and I spent most of my time just swimming since the canoe would randomly get stuck in places on the water. It's a pretty short game with an unsurprising twist but the personas were a cool idea and I wish they had more places to change into them as well as more incentive to use them aside from the Assassin one which I spent 90% of the time as. No fast travel was also a pain especially, again, in the bayou.

Oof...

AC Liberation is a spin off that was ported from a handheld to consoles. Now I won’t be as hash as I want to be on this game but Liberation kinda sucks.

Gameplay wise it plays like 3 for the most part and follows a very forgettable story and cast of characters. Aveline is an assassin in colonial New Orleans, and you follow her story. There honestly isn't much to say about this game so I'm not going to give this game a full review like I usually do, let’s be honest you are here for AC3 not this game. This game has a new feature of changing personas (like she's batman or something) where she goes into changing rooms and can switch between her dressy civilian outfit, slave outfit, and Assassin outfit. Aside for when I'm prompted to, I hardly used this system at all, it just makes sense to use the assassin one most of the time because it’s the best one. This game had a bunch of weird collectibles and unlockables I didn't understand and the money system in this game is super unbalanced. There is a naval trading system in this game, and I think you are expected to get money and stuff you need from that, but I just didn't get it and found it boring, the maps in this game suck too, especially the Bayou map and the story is crazy predictable with a predictable twist. There is no modern-day story, but you see different versions of cutscenes cuz this game plays into the Black Flag idea Ubstergo are selling these stories as video games... anyways yeah so there's that. The highlight of this game is only available on the ps3 version that has a Connor Kenway AI Co-op partner Follow you around for the mission. Which doesn't happen until almost the very end of the game and wasn't super worth it. Overall, not an amazing AC game and if you really wanna enjoy or play this one I suggest spending a little extra and just buying the AC3 remaster that comes with a better version of this game that includes the Conner mission.
5/10

Overall a mediocre game with a lot of interesting ideas that were sadly executed poorly and hastily. I think the Citizen E cutscenes weren't different enough from the regular ones and overall the main plot ended up feeling rushed and confusing at times as to what it was trying to achieve. Gameplay was overall basic and while the stealth AI wasn't as annoyingly broken as it was in 3, the game overall still didn't offer much to make it stand out in any way. The personas mechanic is pretty interesting, but I think that using the assassin persona whenever you can was better as the other two felt like dumbing yourself down with worse arsenals or freerunning for the sake of easier stealth (which doesn't matter as much cus stealth is pretty easy as an assassin anyways). It very much feels like a filler type of spinoff that publishers throw in while people wait for the next big title. You can skip it if you want. I gotta say tho, the game's most interesting parts were the Tomb Raider-esque segments and I think the gameplay was a lot more interesting and unique during those parts. They are probably the most memorable segments in the whole game for me.

The HD visuals can't hide the game's shortcomings, unfortunately. Aveline herself is pretty likable, but the game's story really suffers from being peculiarly disjointed. I'm not sure how best to convey this, but you know how movie tie-in games in the 2000s used to have little disjointed clips of the movie inserted in places, and it felt disjointed and misguided? The whole Liberation story feels like that. To some extent this is lampshaded with an "Abstergo is selectively editing what you see" frame story, I know. But even if you take the time to unlock all of the Citizen E side content, the story is just poorly told, and it's hard to get invested, or get swept away by the big moments.

As for the gameplay, it's mostly fine. The persona system isn't great but is thematically interesting and mostly doesn't get in the way (the game's scenarios are generally pretty good at matching your persona's skillset to the current area and required objectives). The bayou is pretty fun, and I think is generally more successful than AC3's frontier (it helps that it's flatter and less ambitious terrain).

I definitely think it's the weakest of the games frequently considered mainline AC titles.
