Desmond has been through quite a bit. He has lived the life of Altaïr and found out about the Templars and the golden apples. He then lived as Ezio whom fights to avenge his family, but learns of the greater battle for the world. He gains control of Apple of Eden, uses it to avoid the Templars, and then hides it beneath the Colosseum in Rome. He then learns of a temple that can save humanity in New England. He is one man that has experienced two other lives, and now must experience a third. He must see how Connor (or Ratonhnhaké:ton) lived and fought in order to find the key to access the one thing that can save humanity. And from here I will talk about the story, and only the story of Assassin's Creed III. There will be some spoilers to the game, but the spoilers will more focus on Desmond's part of the game and not really Connors. Not that I can really spoil how the American Revolution ended. None the less, you have been warned.

Keeping a game series going can be difficult. You have to keep the core game intact while adding new elements that change how some things are done. You have to turn the world on its head without placing the player in an unfamiliar environment. It is a very fine line that must be walked when adding a new entry, and seeing how Assassin's Creed is now on it's sixth game, they are going to have to work for that something new. Were Pirate's that something new that they needed to keep it fresh and interesting? That is what I am hoping to detail in the review.
