It's a decent game...
Assassin's Creed Liberation should've been more than a PS Vita AC game. Story-wise, I'll spoil a bit of stuff: I think the idea of this being the first Abstergo Entertainment game was awesome, with all the censorship they included to try to change the way people view Templars, yet probably because of the small budget it comes off as written in a silly way at times, with the changes being cartoonish and absurd. Still really dig the concept and it's not a bad execution with the hacker showing you the truth. Aveline sucks as a character, though. In a saga driven by its protagonists like AC, she's a bland, one dimensional and stereotyped protagonist, basically a worse Adewale from Freedom Cry, AC IV's "basically a DLC" spinoff.
Gameplay wise I think this game saves up the lack of a more in depth combat/Parkour with the social stealth system. I'm sad they haven't used it in so long, changing your identity with the Assassin/Slave/Elon Musk personas was really immersive, they all had their own roles and notoriety systems and they never felt underdeveloped. Also liked the difference of scenery in which the game takes place, adding some variety to it despite its short runtime... Still, the combat is copied from AC III and unlike AC IV there were 0 changes to it... Parkour is very bare bones stuff.
Assassin's Creed Liberation is a victim of Ubisoft's decisions, but despite that I still recommend playing it at least once. It's such a simple game I think anyone can get on it and manage to 100% it.
