Liberation HD also has two other things going for it: a simple but satisfying plot, and a protagonist you can actually root for. It keeps all the modern day framework stuff to a minimum, takes a lighter approach, and has a similar focus on ancient Mayan ruins and conflicts with a predominantly Spanish ruling class. Yet, coming to it fresh from Assassin’s Creed 4, Liberation HD seems like a stepping stone between ACIII and its pirate-themed sequel. The Vita original was released to tie-in with Assassin’s Creed III, with the same colonial American setting and roughly the same period – and even a guest appearance from a well-known member of the cast. The good news with Liberation HD is that it’s mostly a case of the former. Others merely expose the limitations of the original, proving that on a big console with a big screen it just can’t cut the mustard. Some, give the game the extra space it needs to shine, removing hardware constraints and improving the action in a range of subtle ways.
Now, whether they’re reworking an old console game or making a handheld game available on other platforms, these HD remakes tend to go down in one of two ways. Assassin’s Creed: Liberation HD sees 2012’s PlayStation Vita game remade for PC and last-gen consoles, with a few adjustments to the gameplay and some fairly serious graphical enhancements.
