  For all the fresh ideas and narrative puzzles introduced in the first episode, to end the series on such a low point is massively disappointing. As an individual episode, The Redemption is a more enjoyable effort than The Betrayal, and it comes close to the excitement of The Infamy. But it also makes the series as a whole less compelling. Those keen to absorb absolutely everything the Assassin's Creed III universe has to offer will find a few enjoyable moments in The Tyranny of King Washington, but it's ultimately an empty experience.

  In fact, despite my enjoyment of the final chapter it's probably best to just wait until a proper Game of the Year Edition hits and play the side story that way. Ubisoft had major potential with King Washington, and sadly, there were a few missteps that prevent me from recommending the package as a whole. If you've already picked up the first two parts and are on the fence about Redemption though, it's probably a good idea to just bite.

  The Tyranny of King Washington is made to the highest standards, but also overpriced for what it is. Though the new powers refresh and reshape Assassin’s Creed III’s gameplay, most of the locations and missions here are overly reminiscent of what we’ve seen time and time again in the main campaign, and only towards the end does the story really come into its own. It would be a much easier recommendation at half the price.

  It seems a long time ago that Ubisoft first spoke of this DLC season, but something I was told back then aptly sums the mini-series up. The Tyranny of King Washington is very much for fans. If you dip into Assassin's infrequently you will likely question the worth of this self-contained side-story. But for those keen to experience every nook and cranny of the Creedverse, Tyranny offers an enjoyable and different experience - if not an essential one.

  6.5

  Nulla di male in teoria, ma ormai non ci si diverte più come un tempo, la longevità è poca cosa per un DLC da 10 euro (dalle due alle tre ore contando anche le molte cut-scene) e il finale, con Washington in versione boss, non ha un gran mordente e offre un livello di sfida decisamente basso. La sufficienza è comunque meritata grazie alle battaglie navali, ad alcune missioni avvincenti e alle dimensioni della mappa, ma non aspettatevi un terzo capitolo col botto finale o una conclusione particolarmente appassionante.

  6.0

  Se avete apprezzato i capitoli precedenti della trilogia probabilmente non rimpiangerete l'acquisto del tassello mancante, anche se il finale potrebbe lasciarvi un po' d'amaro in bocca. Se, al contrario, avete aspettato l'uscita dell'intero pacchetto prima di decidere se acquistarlo o meno, sappiate che La Tirannia di Re Washington si è rivelata nel complesso un'esperienza al di sotto delle aspettative sul fronte puramente narrativo.
