SummaryThe year is 1715. Pirates rule the waters of the Caribbean and have established a lawless Republic. Among these outlaws is a lethal young captain named Edward Kenway. His notorious exploits earn the respect of legends like Blackbeard, but draw him into an ancient war that may destroy everything the pirates have built for themselves.

The Escapist
While Black Flag feels very much like an Assassin's Creed game, its gameplay reminds me more of Sid Meier's Pirates! wrought in glorious 3D. As in that classic game, you are free to sail wherever your heart desires, and be as dastardly or as benign as you like. Embodying Edward Kenway and living through his adventures on the seas, while also experiencing his struggle with Assassins and Templars alike, is pure escapist delight.

All the distinguishing features of the series – the Templars, parkour and brutal assassinations – are here, but now they are not the core, they are just elements of the best pirate game ever, of a Red Dead Redemption at sea. [13/2013, p.52]

One of the best experience I've been through so far,Edward wasn't assassin,he was a normal person that seeked glory, wealth and plunders After he had achieved his goals, Edward realized that he lost everything to acclaim it Edward decided to change his future and so on Black flag doesn't tell you go kill some templars Black flag tells you that all people make mistakes,but not all of them fix what they've done.

The best pirate game ever made and the best Assasin's Creed game ever. The gameplay is addictive and the story is one of the best in the series! Legendary!!!

It has taken the gameplay of the previous games, refined it, and combined it with a huge open world that is packed with enough content to literally last for days. If you have ever wanted a proper pirate game, this is as good as it gets.

We didn't like going out of the animus, the mission structure gets repetitive real fast and the framerate isn't always as solid as it should be. Nevertheless, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag offers a great and varied experience, mostly thanks to the expertly designed world you get to explore.

The seafaring aspect of Black Flag is where much of the fun lies, but things feel a little too familiar every time Kenway sets foot on land. Climb buildings, collect items, infiltrate fortresses, assassinate targets. If you've grown weary of this formula, you'll count the minutes until you're back out at sea, plundering ships, harpooning sharks and diving for sunken treasure.

Pirate fans will merrily pick this up and discover a solid purchase, but the rest might want to hold out in hopes of something different from next year’s iteration.

Amazing !! Easily the best assassins creed and the remake cleaned up everything and expanded everything is a way more thoughtful way than is normal for them. It plays like a true top tier rpg and the graphics and unbelievable. First RPG since eldin ring that I get really excited to play and enjoy the whole time.
