    Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a feast for the eyes on PC, with the updated Anvil engine from Assassin’s Creed Shadows doing some heavy lifting with the overhauled visuals. Everything from the physics of water crashing against docks and boats to the inclement weather is among the best to grace a video game. Raytraced lighting with global illumination helps the world appear more vibrant than ever. This is a densely populated world, with points of interest separated only by the open sea rather than by separate screens. The biggest change that players will appreciate is the ability to sail up to an island, disembark, and head straight into a settlement like Havana without running into a loading screen.
