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.
