   Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry is a stand-alone game that was originally a DLC addition for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
   
   Set between theAssassin's Creed Freedom Cry is a stand-alone game that was originally a DLC addition for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
   
   Set between the years of 1735 to 1737, you play as Adewale, a man who was born a slave but later found freedom as a pirate on Edward Kenway’s ship, the Jackdaw.
   
   Fast forward 15 years and Adewale is now a trained Assassin, shipwrecked in Saint-Domingue, off the coast of Haiti, with no weapons and no crew to help him, he has to find a ship in Port-au-Prince, and gather a brand-new crew, so he can free the slaves, and kill those who enslaved them.
   
   Although a short game at about 3-5 hours, considering this was a DLC addition, that is a fair amount of gameplay you get without having to purchase Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and enough to give you the taste of the main game, and perhaps help convince you to purchase that.
   
   The storyline in Freedom Cry is pretty good, as you would expect from any Assassins Creed game, lots of conspiracies to uncover, different gameplay modes including fighting enemies with a ship, the usual on land Assassins Creed activities, as well as deep dialog and cut scenes.
   
   I am a big Assassin's Creed fan, and I have most of the games, except Assassin's Creed IV, so when the cance came to get Freedom Cry I jumped at it, as to be brutally honest I still have a lot of other Assassin's Creed games to finish, so being able to play a 3 hour game was just about perfect.
   
   The Good
   Excellent Graphics that you come to expect from any Assassin's Creed game, the high quality of everything in this franchise is something that should be appreciated. The story on this game is great, and the gameplay itself is top notch.
   
   The Bad
   If you are a fan of the Assassin's Creed Franchise then there is no bad here.
   
   Overall
   Want a taste of the Assassin's Creed Franchise as a newcomer, then this is a perfect short introduction, experienced in the Franchise and want to play them all, then you cant miss this.
   
   I score Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry a strong 9/10… Expand

   Nice addition to the single player although locking you out of main sequences used to extended the game.

   This Game is not bad, but it has so many glitches, every time i kill an enemy his body glitches through the floor.
   This Game costs aroundThis Game is not bad, but it has so many glitches, every time i kill an enemy his body glitches through the floor.
   This Game costs around 20$ on the PlayStation Store which i say is fair it only took me 15 Hours to complete all the missions and an extra 5 Hours to explore and synchronize each island.
   All of the missions are easy but the part i hate the most is when the mission is locked that i have to free a specific number of slaves, sometimes it says 20, sometimes it says 400.
   But i wouldn't lie if i didn't enjoy freeing the slaves and stealing cargo from ship those are the only good thing from this game.
   i would recommend you buying this game, if you are one of those guys who play video games to get to the platinum trophy, will this is one of those games.
   I Hope you buy this game to get all of the trophies because that's the only good thing other than freeing slaves and stealing a ships cargo.… Expand

   I have not enjoyed this game whatsoever. About six years ago I stopped buying Assassin's Creed games as they were always repetitive andI have not enjoyed this game whatsoever. About six years ago I stopped buying Assassin's Creed games as they were always repetitive and uninteresting to me, but at least the last ones I played (Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood) had charm and a nice gameplay.
   
   In the case of this DLC/short game, which I would have probably never played if it had not been free for PSN Plus users, gameplay is simply awful: the controls are a constant struggle, both on land when playing as the assassin and, particularly, when on the ship. If they were going to offer such a boring and repetitive naval elements, they should have directly not included them; I would have preferred so.
   
   Regarding the storyline, I found it uninteresting as well (though I must recognize that slavery is a topic I am not particularly fond of). There are some slightly good moments, but the constant frustration because of gameplay and being stupidly detected ruin everything.
   
   I guess the other Assassin's Creed games are not this bad, they cannot be. I will not be the one checking it, anyway.… Expand
