Assassin's Creed III

The game is set in Colonial America, before, during and after the American Revolution from 1753 to 1783. The main protagonist for this game is Ratonhnhaké:ton (Connor), a member of the Mohawk tribe. He is only introduced after a substantial portion of the game as it first follows Desmond Miles' storyline. The game also introduces hunting and trapping animals in the wilderness to sell their skin, building the settlement Davenport Homestead, and naval campaigns on the Eastern seaboard.

Next to the main storyline, there are various optional missions and tasks that can be found by exploring the environment. The fighting system uses melee and ranged weapons with various actions to disarm, attack, parry, fire and assassinate based on the equipped weapon. Counter attacks are new and shown in slow motion to make room to strike. There is also a three-tier notoriety system where becoming incognito involves running away and hiding.

Building the settlement Davenport Homestead is another part of the game, allowing the player to build facilities that can be used to craft items, form a local economy, and progress visually with new people working and buildings appearing. The game also contains three historical board games that can be played on the ship, in the cities or the Homestead: Bowls, Morris and Fanorona.
