   Black Flag is best AC game ever made.
   AC 3 was huge fail, but somehow Ubisoft managed to learn from it's mistakes and delivered timeless masterpiece.

   Same old Assassin's Creed with a lot of sailing and ship battles.

   - Gameplay -
   Combat is more or less the same as Assassin's Creed 3, except this time there's A LOT of sailing and battles out in the ocean. If you like shooting cannons and mortors while steering a ship, then you'll love it. At first, I found the sea battles to be tedious, but realized my ship was under leveled. Once I upgraded the necessary parts, the battles went much more smoothly. I personally don't enjoy steering a large ship, as I find it clunky in general, but with a story about Pirates, it can't be helped.
   
   The parkouring the series is known for is good, but there were some parts where I would jump to my death even though my camera was pointed towards a climbable ledge. These were far and few inbetween, so it wasn't too bad. Smoke bombs and darts can allow you to go about an area in many different ways. Though I did feel it was too easy to level pouch upgrades to the max, which in turn allowed you to cruise through pretty much any situation. You need animal skin to craft things, but all of it can be suprisingly bought in shops at an average price. This took away the need to hunt, which is a negative.
   
   - Narrative -
   The story and characters are probably my favorite part about Black Flag. Assassin's Creed stories have never disappointed me, and this one upped the bar. Edward was a very interesting character. He starts off as this greedy and selfish pirate, but slowly matures into a much more noble character through failures and loss. I love seeing characters grow through hardships. The comrades Edward meets were also very likable. They had their own interesting back story and personalities.
   
   Of course, there's the main story of Assassin's Creed, Abstergo. I thought Abstergo Entertainment was a cool way to continue the story of the modern day Assassins and Templars. The building is full of bonus content that unravels more mysteries about the story. It was mysterious and interesting.
   
   - Visuals & Sounds -
   The game overall looks good, though some climbing animations could be better. I'm taking experience from Uncharted, so I'm a bit spoiled. You'll hear your crew singing as you're sailing the ship, there's mysterious music playing while you're uncovering secrets in Abstergo Entertainment, so the music is overall good.
   
   - Replay value -
   There's paid DLC. Aside from that, you can only go back to complete side missions, and collectables.
   
   Thanks for reading.… Expand

   Great sailing and swashbuckling adventure. Very fun concept of upgrading the ship/mobile base. mediocre Assassin's Creed.

   It gives you sea sickness after playing... you just can`t figure out if you are throwing up because of the stupid game or because of the factIt gives you sea sickness after playing... you just can`t figure out if you are throwing up because of the stupid game or because of the fact that everything keeps moving after you close the game.
   
   Since AC2, all those games are getting worse! Only bought it because it was almost free in Humble Bundle. Well. If you are looking for a good game, try something else.… Expand
