IGN – 52%<\/a><\/h3>\nFor a multitude of reasons, Aveline is the kind of character I\u2019d like to see more of in gaming, and watching her flounder through this game all over again hurt. I wanted to see her tale succeed, but Assassin\u2019s Creed Liberation HD is just too lacking in too many areas to make it happen. There\u2019s no one thing to point to as overtly broken; it simply dies by a thousand tiny cuts. Its craft is sloppy, its design remains shackled by ill-conceived new ideas, as well as the limitations of the platform it hails from. It\u2019s the definitive version of a game that had very little going for it in the first place.<\/p>\n
NowGamer – 65%<\/a><\/h3>\nA good attempt at bringing a handheld game to a home console, although one let down by the same problems that affected the original. Not a bad game, but one with untapped potential. If you’ve played the original Vita version, there’s no reason for you to take the plunge again. If you’ve not played the original, only the most diehard of Assassin’s Creed fans are going to find something of value.<\/p>\n

Official Xbox Magazine – 60%<\/a><\/h3>\nOn a hand-held, you’d think “well done chaps, this is a good boiled-down version which keeps the core of the game intact”. But on a console, and so soon after Black Flag, it feels like an over-long chunk of watery DLC.<\/p>\n
VideoGamer – 60%<\/a><\/h3>\nWith its most obvious original appeal \u2013 ‘real’ Ass Creed on a handheld \u2013 gone, Liberation’s appeal is diminished. While it does have some interesting ideas, which the main series itself would benefit from trying to integrate, this is the same old Creed, with the same old problems.<\/p>\n
