Review: Tyranny Of King Washington - The Redemption

G'day folks!

WARNING! This review will feature some minor spoilers from the DLC trilogy, read at your own precaution! 

Over the last few months, many AC fans have been following the alternate story of Connor,

following in the footsteps of his mother's goal to bring down the now notorious and wicked King Washington who's mind and tenacity has been diluted by the power of the Apple Of Eden.
Once more, we see a short flashback of what had happened in the last DLC, quickly breezing through the last chapter. We find ourselves in an unfamiliar New York skyline and the people cowering in fear over what appears to be a cut-in-half pyramid and the earth of New York now a desert wasteland.
What was a massive change of pace was the game's opening of a naval battle, something that has yet to be featured in any AC3 DLC. Fighting off many enemies and smashing into boats as I stupidly did, Connor washes ashore to find Ben Franklin bent over a now dead Kanen'to:kon, which I will mention left me yelling at the screen in protest. (I will leave his death scene alone as it's quite powerful)
With that, Connor takes one last swig of the Tea Of The Red Willow and travels for the last time to the Sky World, to which he gains the strength of the Bear. While this ability can be used to decimate enemies in one massive thrash or destroy building structure around you, this ability definitely soaks up much of your health. While the Wolf ability does suck out little by little and the Eagle ability uses the least, two to five uses of the Bear ability will leave Connor running for health and it's not easy to regain it since this ability works best in the middle of battle.
The storyline ends the controversial telling very well, rapping everything off in a nice, neat little bow as the game ends on a high note, to which I won't divulge. With the final battle between Connor and the King finally reaching a climax, there isn't much left to mention of this DLC. Near much everything, from gameplay to sound effects are basically the same.
A fully fleshed out storyline over the entire trilogy of DLC, the animal abilities making the game much harder yet refreshing the stereotypical air inside the series and even a massive nod in the direction of the upcoming title in the AC series, I was impressed with the level of quality this DLC had as the main series comes to a close but hopefully, not the end of Connor just yet.

Overall DLC Rating: B

This DLC is out now for 640 MSP ($8)
