"Black Flag takes a sharp left turn from the series' traditional progression, but the ways in which it diverges are what make it one of the most purely entertaining games in the franchise."

Fun on the high seas

I knew it would take me some time to get through AC4, and it did. There were times when I wanted to stop playing, not because the game is difficult, but because it got real tedious in the middle. I've… Read more

The Best Assassin's Creed is Still An Assassin's Creed

Black Flag opens with the pirate protagonist washed ashore, shipwrecked on a gorgeous and lovingly detailed Caribbean island. It's an inviting escapist fantasy location with enough incidental detail t… Read more

Skull and Crossbones

The annual release model is an understandably maligned approach to sculpting game franchises, but it’s odd that Assassin’s Creed in particular became one of those big AAA games we expect to see a new… Read more

The best Assassin Creed game I have every played.

This game is awesome.The locations that is featured in this game is also awesome.Mind blowing Graphics.With stunning story line.The Naval part of the game is a real break through.There is a lot of int… Read more

Not even pirates can reinvigorate the Assassin's Creed franchise. Maybe try ninjas next?

I'm in an unusual position here, reviewing a game that was regarded highly at the time but presently sits between two iterations in the long-running and long-in-the-tooth Assassin's Creed franchise th… Read more

Super Repetitive

I love open world games and this game could have been so much more, but instead you get a game that could have been much shorter. You end up repeating same things over and over and over. A bunch of Fe… Read more

While the series' dated mechanics are still wearing thin, the injection of more naval combat is incredibly enjoyable

Hands up if you’ve grown tired of the Assassin’s Creed franchise over the past few years. There’s probably a lot of you. After progressive sequels in the shape of Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood ,… Read more

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Review (PC).

Having been a long time Assassin's Creed fan, even I have to admit that Assassin's Creed 3 took the wind out of my sails. There was a part of me at peace with the fact that the franchise was past it's… Read more

Video Review for Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag from Ubisoft improves upon many of the mechanics of 3 while not addressing much of the series' overall narrative. While the gameplay is some of the best in the series, t… Read more

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Review (Multiplayer)

As much as I love Assassin’s Creed , I haven’t dabbled in the multiplayer until Black Flag. It may or may not have something to do with the hunt for my first Platinum trophy. That being said, I know t… Read more

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Review

I applaud any video game that reaches franchise status. It’s a difficult task in today’s video game market to create something fresh and turn a profit (ask Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios about this) at t… Read more

Assassins Creed lacks in some foot missions a has great division of land and sea sequences, yet is overall, fun as hell.

Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag is a game where pirating and assassin...ing?? blend perfectly. So it all starts with the lowly Edward Kenway possibly struggling as an alcoholic of sorts, tho there is no… Read more

Best Assassin's Creed Yet!

I have played majority of the Assassin's Creed games and DLC and this one has surpassed all of my expectations. As of this point in time I have not beaten the game but am 70% complete with all mission… Read more

A pirate's life isn't focused quite right for me

I'm not a big fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise. I only played 2 previously, and while I had some good times, I didn't finish it and obviously didn't play anything between then and now. So, if you… Read more

Assassins Creed of the Caribbean ft Captain Edward Sparrow

Assassins Creed IV is a much better game than III in almost every way, but is still far from perfect. Many parts of the game feel like a huge reaction to the criticism of the last game. A few examples… Read more

Every scrap of duck on the wind!

One of the first videogames I ever played was about pirates. It starred a (not at all) fearless, insult-sword-fighting, unlucky scoundrel named Guybrush Threepwood whose only dream was to become a not… Read more

Assassin's Creed IV - Great Single Player, Terrible Multiplayer

This is the first Assassin's Creed game I have ever bought and boy oh boy was I pleasantly surprised by it. It's clear to me that Ubisoft does not want to let it's golden IP run dry like other game se… Read more

Best AC game yet.

For me, the AC series have always been a pretty mediocre series at best (3 stars at the best), but I do tend to come back to it each year when its on sale during black friday. Comfort food you'd call… Read more

A Pirate's Life for Me!

First, I just want to say that I've played to completion all of the Assassin's Creed games, except Revelations , and by the end of each one I was completing it simply out of sheer will. They were most… Read more

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag review

It’s funny how it goes, sometimes. I’ve been pretty down on the state of AAA games for a while. Aside from a handful of great titles earlier in the year, the release schedule has been pretty bleak lat… Read more

A delightful return to form from a lagging series

In a mere seven years, there have been six Assassin’s Creed games. Though there are sports titles and multiplayer shooters that have held similar release schedules over the generation, it is a feat la… Read more

Quite possibly the best Assassin's Creed game yet made.

Pirates are awesome, and don’t let anybody tell you differently. From movies to books and now to video games, pirates will forever be that representation of a free spirit taking their own lives and ma… Read more

A Pirate's life is kind of repetitive

By the time I reached the end of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, I felt exhausted and relieved. I was so happy to see the credits, to finally complete the story. Not because I expected some grand end… Read more
