Assassin's Creed 3
Assassin's Creed 3 is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It was released on October 30, 2012, for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The game is set in the 18th century during the American Revolution and follows the story of Connor, a Native American assassin who fights against the Templar Order.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Assassin's Creed 3 is similar to that of previous games in the series. The player controls Connor, who is able to climb and run across buildings and trees, as well as use a variety of weapons, including tomahawks, pistols, and bows. The game also features naval combat, allowing the player to control a warship and engage in battles with other ships on the open sea.
One of the new features in Assassin's Creed 3 is the introduction of hunting and crafting. Connor is able to hunt animals, skin them for resources, and use those resources to craft new weapons and upgrades. The game also features a new combat system, with a focus on dual-wielding weapons and countering attacks.
Story
The game's story follows Connor, who is half-English and half-Mohawk, as he becomes an assassin and fights against the Templar Order in America. Throughout the game, Connor interacts with historical figures such as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, and participates in events such as the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The story also involves a present-day plotline, in which the player controls Desmond, who is reliving memories of Connor through a device called the Animus. The present-day plotline concludes the overarching story of the series that began with the first Assassin's Creed game.

Assassin's Creed 3 received generally positive reviews from critics. The game's setting and story were praised, as well as the new combat system and naval battles. However, the game was criticized for its large number of glitches and bugs, as well as its slow pacing in the early hours of gameplay.
