   This is a standalone DLC for AC Black Flag. The story revolves around Adewale and his quest to free his people from slavery. The blunderbussThis is a standalone DLC for AC Black Flag. The story revolves around Adewale and his quest to free his people from slavery. The blunderbuss is a great gun and blowing away enemies is great fun. The sword is replaced by a machete which makes the kill animation brutal. The game is very short and after you complete the campaign, it gets repetitive and there is not much to do but seeing Adewale become an assassin feels great.… Expand

   Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's DLC, "Freedom Cry," shines primarily due to its fantastic protagonist, Adéwalé. He is a truly remarkableAssassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's DLC, "Freedom Cry," shines primarily due to its fantastic protagonist, Adéwalé. He is a truly remarkable character, adding depth and substance to the expansion. The known assassin gameplay from AC4 is present, obviously, since it is just an expansion, but incorporates some new animations for Adéwalé's. What I personally liked is the lack of ship gameplay. It wouldn't fit this expansion.
   
   While the DLC excels in its protagonist and gameplay, other aspects of "Freedom Cry" may not leave a lasting impression. The story may feel somewhat forgettable, lacking the impact and depth seen in other entries of the series.
   
   In conclusion, "Freedom Cry" is a great addition to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, thanks to its exceptional protagonist and well-integrated gameplay. Adéwalé's character alone makes the DLC worth experiencing, as it brings a unique perspective to the world of pirates and assassins. However, other elements of the DLC, including the story, may not leave a lasting impact. Nevertheless, for fans of the series and those who enjoyed AC4, "Freedom Cry" delivers a rewarding and enjoyable experience.… Expand

   I played the standalone and for the price you get a decent but short Assassin's Creed adventure. The story and character are a bit moreI played the standalone and for the price you get a decent but short Assassin's Creed adventure. The story and character are a bit more interesting compared to Black Flag and 3. All the original gameplay elements are still there for better or worse. The stealth is still mostly broken and the combat is way too easy. But at the end of the day i still had a good time exploring the environment and following the story.… Expand

   Pros:
   - OK story for a DLC - No fuss and useless collectibles - Graphics, and ship system 99% equal to Black Flag Cons: -freedom cry
   Pros:
   - OK story for a DLC
   - No fuss and useless collectibles
   - Graphics, and ship system 99% equal to Black Flag
   
   Cons:
   - FPS drop with the same settings as Black Flag
   - Desync or even absence of sound effects in several cases of battle.
   - poor ending
   
   For a DLC that comes with the package it is quite ok, but in my opinion it is not worth buying separately or on sale.

   I can't get into the story. It just doesn't seem interesting.
   Even the basic concepts of the game seem fundamentally retarded. When attackingI can't get into the story. It just doesn't seem interesting.
   Even the basic concepts of the game seem fundamentally retarded. When attacking a plantation, the slave masters start killing their own slaves. This does not make sense. Can you imagine a farmer shooting his own horses or his own cattle when his farm is attacked? Historically speaking, the most dangerous jobs were not given to slaves. A slave is an investment, so the slave owner wants a broken or dead slave as much as they want a broken and dead horse. Dangerous jobs would be given to regular employees because nobody really cares if employees die or get injured. The game comes across as ridiculous historical revisionism. Yes I'm aware that Assassin's Creed games are not supposed to be historically accurate, but this just seems really odd.… Expand

   overall its a good dlc, but it isnt as good as the base game and lacks features that the main game had. the game doesnt feel as open as theoverall its a good dlc, but it isnt as good as the base game and lacks features that the main game had. the game doesnt feel as open as the main game. i get that the this is a dlc but the world doesnt feel as engageing and interesting as the main game. the dlc lacks features like secret maps, crafting and few more. this lack of features makes it feel not as good as the main game. there are less locations and they feel pretty bland. in the main game every location felt unique but in freedom cry the islands are bland and feel the same. the exploration is also not as fun and there arent a lot of collectibles. aside from these shortcomings, the game is pretty similar to the main game, which is great. fighting animations are great, and the new machete and gun are awesome. the new story could be much better, but its still good. the games cutscenes are great, and there were really sad and good story moments in them. dialogue is good, making for pretty epic conversations and speeches. the narrative is much more serious than in the main game, and its nice to see such a huge developer make a game on the slavery subject, which isnt explored enough in video games. the music is great and feels appropriate. the dlc is a bit buggy, but nothing major.
   overall its a good dlc. on the one hand, it feels like ac4, but it gives you a bit of a different narrative, which sets it apart. by taking some features away it does loose some of the greatness that the main game has. i get its a dlc but i think the features should have been here, in a smaller scale, and locations should have been more varied.
   if you liked ac4 you will like this dlc, its great… Expand
