Assassin’s Creed III
The Assassin’s Creed series has always had a fascinating way of interjecting its narrative into known history. Thanks to its Animus, players can explore real-life locations and meet historically famous people, all with a little fantastical twist.
Assassin’s Creed III is one of the more interesting bits of alternative history the series has provided though, as it is set in the United States for the first time, during the 18th century. Getting to explore old-time versions of New York and Boston, as well as interact with realistic renditions of Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, and even George Washington is certainly something few thought they’d be able to do in a video game.
If nothing else, simply purchase the game to witness a small dose of what life was like back during the foundation of the United States.
