Assassin's Creed: Liberation
Assassin's Creed: Liberation is the franchise's first foray into the mobile gaming arena. I had high hopes for this game but to be honest it's not very good. I really liked that you play as a black woman because most games don't feature minorities prominently. However, the gameplay itself seemed really forced and clunky, and had some very poor design decisions (such as half the game being in a swamp). Additionally, there are tons and tons of glitches, many of which required completely restarting the mission. It's an ambitious goal to have an Assassin's Creed game on a handheld, but I think ultimately too many corner's were cut. Hopefully Ubisoft get a good team to give it another go and give them enough time to pay attention to details.
