Assassin's Creed 3 in comparison to a majority to all the other entries into the franchise is more than likely the most dear and near to my heart.
The game in it's self marks the end of the Desmond Saga and the beginning of the Colonial Era for Assassin's Creed and what a ride it is. The game has two protagonists: Haytham and Connor Kenway. Both serve their role in the story in different ways and are both fleshed out to their entirety. Haytham, the man who is the stepping stone for the game for creating the "villain group" of the game (a common thing with all AC games). What's different is that it isn't that these people are already established but rather we see their recruitment, something we don't normally see in most media and a very ballsy choice to even do. It works to its advantage to spoiler alert the reveal of Haytham being the Templar Grandmaster to be set in the Americas.
When we switch to Connor for the remainder of the game, the friendly faces we saw as Haytham are turned to the villains of the game, but the feelings we have towards them isn't from a side of disgust or resentment, it's rather we change the perspectives. What they're doing is good in hindsight but bad on the other, and that's whats the most common concept throughout the game: What is right and what is wrong?
Connor often is often thrown around as a "Boring" character but if we think about it, he's more confused the more he learns of the assassin's as well as templars. He's stuck in the middle, the freedom of of the people, and the sanctity of government. The writing for this game was complex for it's time and always looking back at it, I find myself more entranced every time.
By the time you reach the end of the game, Connor kills his father, he's become a mess. Almost everyone he's trusted has left him, his father- figure, Achilles is dead, all that's left is to kill Charles Lee, the "Bad Guy." He's done by far the worst things to Connor, create tensions between him and Washington, the mistrust between Connor and his Tribe, and worst of all, the burning of his home and cause of death to Connor's mother. Lee orchestrated a majority of disasters to occur in Connor's life. At the final chapter in the game, we witness Charles Lee go through the worst, the loss of his comrades, his power in government being rid of, the hope of the people.
The final moments between him and Connor at the bar in the middle of nowhere is by far the BEST moment in the game. Both men lost it all, wounded, and decide to share a drink. Two men of opposite sides of the same coin.
Peak and Kino.
Combat in the Colonial Trilogy is peak so there's that.
