I've blasted my way through Assassin's Creed II, Brotherhood and Revelations and loved all three of them.

I'm now onto Assassin's Creed III and kind of hate it, not least because they make the Kanien'kehá:ka/Mohawk character run around in deep snow without snowshoes, which is absolutely asinine as a concept, since snowshoes were developed by basically all snowy climate Turtle Island and Inuit peoples for some time before the FN character's part of the game takes place (1783).

The controls are also horrible; a major downgrade from the Ezio trilogy IMO. I don't see why they changed the controls from release to release, especially for the versions they ported to Switch which were done in quite quick succession (though so were the original games, really).

This one is also mostly just a series of cutscenes and pointless tasks so far and I'm pretty far into it already.

It has started to get better in sequence six because it's more independent missions. I am working through the missions and chests in the frontier and have learned you can PET ANIMALS and that has increased my enjoyment of the game substantially.

I also don't understand why medicine was such a key part of the Ezio games - you could take it in battle and recover - and in III there's (apparently) no medicine?

@casseagull 100% with you. Loved the Ezio games, couldn't finish AC3, wasn't at all interested in IV

(AC: Odyssey was fun, and AC: Valhalla's only real fault was it was too big, if you can believe it!)
