Critic Reviews
- For series fans who missed it on the Vita, it’s a solid choice on consoles. Players looking for the full Assassin’s Creed experience will be better off with Black Flag, but anyone looking for a more streamlined, less daunting game will find a lot to like here.
Dave Payerle · Jan 31, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Instead, this somewhat-confusing adventure gets you to love it, and then leaves you yearning for more.
Alaina Yee · Jan 28, 2014 Reviewed on X360 - Liberation works best when it gives you a strict set of rules and a large area to infiltrate. Sneaking into a governor's mansion, or disrupting some voodoo ritual in the deepest darkest bayou, are lent bite by strict fail states - get spotted and it's game over. The result is a game with a healthy dose of tension.
PC Gamer · Jan 23, 2014 Reviewed on PCRead full review - Judging by the quality of the cutscenes, developer Ubisoft Sofia aspired to the latter but ended up with the former. The time and care it put into those cinematics is obvious, so it's disappointing that the gameplay and its bugs--issues that existed in the Vita version--didn't receive the same level of attention. I still recommend Assassin's Creed: Liberation for fans of the series, but it's hardly worth revisiting if you've completed the Vita version.
Miguel Concepcion · Jan 23, 2014 Reviewed onRead full review - Even with a one-year gap between them, there are enough similarities between Liberation and Black Flag to recommend the former. It’s certainly not the best game in the franchise though does open up yet another chapter in the Assassin’s Creed saga. Still, those who have become particularly attached to Black Flag may find it hard to hoist up their sails and touch down in New Orleans.
Jim Hargreaves · Jan 21, 2014 Reviewed onRead full review - A host of graphical improvements and some new missions can't hide the fact Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD needed to do more to bring the Vita game closer to the outstanding Black Flag. Ubisoft Sofia did what they could, but the resulting game is still an average, limited Assassin's Creed experience. If you haven't played it, try a demo. If you have, there's no reason to play it again.
Mike Williams · Jan 20, 2014 Reviewed on PS3 - Boasting a strong female heroine in Aveline, Assassin's Creed: Liberation is worth the asking price, but only just. The fragmented story was excusable on PS Vita, but on PS3, Assassin's Creed: Liberation's myriad cracks and flaws are glaring. Aveline may be a thinly-drawn character, but she's one that's deserving of so much more than this.
Richard Walker · Jan 20, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - For a multitude of reasons, Aveline is the kind of character I’d like to see more of in gaming, and watching her flounder through this game all over again hurt. I wanted to see her tale succeed, but Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD is just too lacking in too many areas to make it happen. There’s no one thing to point to as overtly broken; it simply dies by a thousand tiny cuts. Its craft is sloppy, its design remains shackled by ill-conceived new ideas, as well as the limitations of the platform it hails from.
Vince Ingenito · Jan 17, 2014 Reviewed onRead full review - Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD never escapes from the fact that it was once a portable game. The improved visuals, controller support and improved mission structure are nice to have, but they all have their drawbacks. Liberation HD can be fun, but it can’t reach the heights of Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation on the PS Vita. The fact that this was designed as a portable game ultimately is this version’s weakness and why the handheld version remains superior. all have their drawbacks
Kevin Dunsmore · Jan 16, 2014 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Assassin's Creed Liberation HD's smaller, less complex objectives feel unsurprisingly tailored to a handheld device, but that doesn't stop this from being a decent romp on the PS3 – especially if you snuck past the portable release. The original title's flaws still remain, however, and to top it off, Aveline's story is hampered by some worryingly poor technical performance. This killer's blades just aren't sharp enough to go toe-to-toe with her home console brethren.
