To be honest I didn't like this game very much. It was boring and linear. Too many quicktime button-mashing events, and the combat was basically just button-mashing with no strategy in any way. Even the previous Assassin's Creed games had a bit of strategy to the combat.
The only things I liked were the parkour and the naval battles. The multiplayer is good, but gets old quickly.
Also, don't expect a good story from this game at all. The storyline was horrible. It seemed like it was more about the American Revolution rather than being an Assassin. They just threw Connor into the battles of the Revolution and made some of the British Generals Templars. Pretty damn lazy in my opinion.
