Connor lacks Ezio's swagger but his homestead, forest hunts and naval battles make ACIII a hugely ambitious entry. The pacing stumbles in places, the writing surprises elsewhere, and the finale lands as one of the series' most memorable.

Assassin's Creed III (Xbox 360) price, value & rarity
Assassin's Creed III, an entry set during the American Revolution that renews the engine and settings of Ubisoft's saga, a big commercial success of the cycle's end. Very widespread and issued in many regional and disc variants, its collector interest is modest, value resting on set completeness rather than scarcity. An accessible piece for an Assassin's Creed set on the console.
Is Assassin's Creed III still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2012 on Xbox 360, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed III dares a fresh setting in Revolutionary America with a hero, Connor, less flamboyant than Ezio but sincere. The splendid naval battles and the hunts through living forests leave a lasting mark. The homestead to develop and the sheer scale of the environments reflect real ambition. The pacing stalls in a long opening and some mechanics scatter. But the finale stands among the series' strongest. For fans of historical action adventure willing to look past its flaws, this entry keeps some genuinely fine moments.
