Liberation tries quite hard and it's an amibitous attempt to recreate a full-fledged Assassin's Creed experience on a handheld, but it falls a bit flat. Part of this is down to its three main world areas being either dull or finicky to explore, and the lack of engaging content outside of the main story doesn't help either. Aveline is an intriguing protagonist as she exists in a powerful liminal space, existing as an Assassin but one who struggles with her mentor, a member of the nouveau riche in a society that wants to ostracize her for her race, and as a free woman when every other black person she meets is enslaved, but the story doesn't make effective use of this and prefers to focus on a tepid iteration of the usual Templars v Assassins conflict.
