Around these parts, we love HD upgrades \u2013 at least when the upgrade has been done right. In this case, fifteen missions for $20 seems like a reasonable price for fans of the series. Ubisoft claims to have improved each mission, so even those who played the Vita version may want to check this out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AZYSetCHyCo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here are some nice comparison shots of the versions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_22_Comparison_1389213056.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59589 aligncenter\" alt=\"AC Liberation Comparison\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_22_Comparison_1389213056.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_22_Comparison_1389213056.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_22_Comparison_1389213056-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_22_Comparison_1389213056-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_23_Comparison_1389213059.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59591 aligncenter\" alt=\"AC Liberation Comparison\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_23_Comparison_1389213059.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_23_Comparison_1389213059.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_23_Comparison_1389213059-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_23_Comparison_1389213059-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_24_Comparison_1389213059.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59592 aligncenter\" alt=\"AC Liberation Comparison\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_24_Comparison_1389213059.jpg\" width=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_24_Comparison_1389213059.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_24_Comparison_1389213059-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/ACL-HD_SC_SP_24_Comparison_1389213059-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Broken Age Act One (PC)<\/h5>\n<p>Right now, &#8216;Broken Age&#8217; is either poised to be a great crowd-funding success or a travesty.
