TECHNICAL INFORMATION

GAME ENGINE

Assassin's Creed III was developed on the Anvil engine, a game engine created by Ubisoft Montreal, a subsidiary of publisher Ubisoft. "Anvil" is a commercial proprietary cross-platform game engine designed for use on the personal computer (Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X) and on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii game consoles. First used in the game Assassin's Creed.

Assassin's Creed III Remastered for Nintendo Switch has been simplified quite a lot and is closer to the original version of the game.

CONTROL

The control settings are standard, as for other consoles.

There is not much variety in control settings.

SETTINGS

And there are no graphics settings in the game, only changing the brightness is available.

Well, then let’s see how the game differs from the PC version.

MODES COMPARISON between Nintendo Switch and PC

Now let's compare it with the PC version of the project. The “maximum” settings of the PC version and console were taken as the basis. 

As we can see, the graphics for the Nintendo Switch are more close to the original than to the remaster of the PC version of the game.

COMPARISON OF TV AND PORTABLE MODE

As we can see, when switching to portable mode, the quality is only slightly inferior to the TV version.

OVERALL GAMING IMPRESSION

Assassin's Creed III Remastered plays quite cheerfully on the portable, giving a new feeling to the Assassin's Creed series.

Sometimes the game crashes when switching from TV mode to portable mode. It is also unclear how to install Russian voice acting - the language pack itself was additionally installed, but there are no settings for switching the language in the game...

GAME PROCESS

Well, below are 20 minutes of play on the console itself:

Disadvantages:

- price is the same as all games for Switch

Advantages:

- the first full-fledged Assassin's Creed on a portable device!
