The "Tyranny of King Washington: The Redemption" DLC for Assassin's Creed III, like the other DLCs and multiplayer, is no longer playable, which is an unfortunate decision by Ubisoft that has left players unable to access content they have already purchased. This move is disappointing and has made me obviously no longer recommend buying the DLC. While I initially recommended this DLC, it now has changed due to its unavailability.

The content of "The Redemption" makes me wonder what it could have been if it were somehow tied to the main storyline, perhaps serving as an epilogue to Connor's journey or providing a different perspective akin to what was offered in Revelations. Any meaningful expansion of the main narrative would have been welcome. However, instead of that, the DLC offered only brief glimpses of the real story through unengaging segments set in an uninspiring isekai-like world, coupled with enjoyable superpower-driven gameplay.

As a result, my overall experience with "The Redemption" was mixed. The gameplay itself was entertaining, thanks to the exciting superpowers, but the lack of a compelling story that connected to the main narrative left me feeling detached and uninvested. It ultimately felt like a missed opportunity to further expand and enrich the Assassin's Creed III storyline.

In conclusion, while "Tyranny of King Washington: The Redemption" initially showed promise with its intriguing premise and enjoyable gameplay, the absence of meaningful ties to the main story significantly impacted my appreciation of the DLC. Considering that Ubisoft has restricted access to the DLC, I regretfully cannot recommend it. The inability to play content that I have already paid for only adds to the disappointment surrounding this DLC.
