    Combat is more or less the same as Assassin's Creed 3, except this time there's A LOT of sailing and battles out in the ocean. If you like shooting cannons and mortors while steering a ship, then you'll love it. At first, I found the sea battles to be tedious, but realized my ship was under leveled. Once I upgraded the necessary parts, the battles went much more smoothly. I personally don't enjoy steering a large ship, as I find it clunky in general, but with a story about Pirates, it can't be helped.

    The parkouring the series is known for is good, but there were some parts where I would jump to my death even though my camera was pointed towards a climbable ledge. These were far and few inbetween, so it wasn't too bad. Smoke bombs and darts can allow you to go about an area in many different ways. Though I did feel it was too easy to level pouch upgrades to the max, which in turn allowed you to cruise through pretty much any situation. You need animal skin to craft things, but all of it can be suprisingly bought in shops at an average price. This took away the need to hunt, which is a negative.

    - Narrative -
    The story and characters are probably my favorite part about Black Flag. Assassin's Creed stories have never disappointed me, and this one upped the bar. Edward was a very interesting character. He starts off as this greedy and selfish pirate, but slowly matures into a much more noble character through failures and loss. I love seeing characters grow through hardships. The comrades Edward meets were also very likable. They had their own interesting back story and personalities.

    Of course, there's the main story of Assassin's Creed, Abstergo. I thought Abstergo Entertainment was a cool way to continue the story of the modern day Assassins and Templars. The building is full of bonus content that unravels more mysteries about the story. It was mysterious and interesting.

    - Visuals & Sounds -
    The game overall looks good, though some climbing animations could be better. I'm taking experience from Uncharted, so I'm a bit spoiled. You'll hear your crew singing as you're sailing the ship, there's mysterious music playing while you're uncovering secrets in Abstergo Entertainment, so the music is overall good.

    - Replay value -
    There's paid DLC. Aside from that, you can only go back to complete side missions, and collectables.

    Thanks for reading.    … Expand

    This is one of the best games I've ever seen.
    You can explore the world and enjoy killing enemy's. I played AC 2 & 3 too but this one was better.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a game that both thrilled and frustrated me. Let me begin by discussing the technical issues encountered, which you should be aware of before purchasing the game on Steam.

    - Ubisoft Connect Compatibility: If you already own ACIVBF on Ubisoft Connect, avoid buying it on Steam or activating it on the same Ubisoft Account. Doing so may lead to having two    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a game that both thrilled and frustrated me. Let me begin by discussing the technical issues encountered, which you should be aware of before purchasing the game on Steam.

    - Ubisoft Connect Compatibility: If you already own ACIVBF on Ubisoft Connect, avoid buying it on Steam or activating it on the same Ubisoft Account. Doing so may lead to having two copies of the game on your Ubisoft Connect account, causing conflicts that prevent the original copy from connecting to online servers. Despite efforts to resolve this through customer support, the issue persisted for me.

    - Save File Incompatibility: ACIVBF save files are not transferable between Ubisoft Connect and Steam versions. If you have progress on one platform and plan to buy the game on another, be cautious, as the save file might be considered corrupted on the new platform.

    Ubisoft's customer support was unsatisfactory in resolving these problems, causing a frustrating experience lasting several months.

    Now, let's focus on the game itself, which truly is a masterpiece, appreciated for its naval combat and pirate theme. The standout aspect is Edward Kenway's character and his well-crafted narrative. With an engaging story, compelling supporting characters, memorable antagonists, and a stellar ending, the game shines in storytelling. Additionally, the gameplay is brilliant, combining both assassin and pirate elements seamlessly.

    Initially, I was disappointed with the abundance of ship gameplay, not aligning with the traditional Assassin's Creed style. However, it fits perfectly within the pirate theme and offers enjoyable naval combat even for those who aren't typically drawn to such gameplay. The assassin elements blend harmoniously with the pirate gameplay, especially in the way Edward becomes entangled in the conflict between the assassins and templars. Witnessing Edward's growth throughout the story is highly satisfying.

    Regarding the present-day storyline, the absence of Desmond and the altered gameplay was a letdown, but it eventually became engaging and intriguing on its own terms, even though it didn't match the level of Assassin's Creed III.

    One aspect that falls short in ACIVBF is the parkour, but I don't mean the system. The gameplay and animation is an upgrade from Assassin's Creed III, the animations being better in my opinion. The lack of expansive cities found in previous games diminishes the parkour experience. Despite my initial skepticism about ship-centric gameplay, I found it to be well-suited for this title and fun to play. But the lack fluid parkour most of the gameplay does take from the Assassin's Creed experience, but I don't think there was anything they could have done better. That's the era, that's the places where the story takes place.

    Combat, on the other hand, feels slightly downgraded compared to Assassin's Creed III, though other aspects like running and climbing show significant improvement.

    Regarding achievements, ACIVBF has an extensive list, but unfortunately, Steam doesn't implement them. This can be disappointing for completionists and achievement hunters. To view your achievements, you can check Ubisoft Connect, but even there, you can't share your achievements progress, only you can see it. To add to it, there's the lack of any in-game notifications for earning achievements.

    In conclusion, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is an exceptional game that seamlessly combines the pirate theme with assassin gameplay. With captivating narrative, outstanding characters, and exciting gameplay, making it a memorable and unique experience.    … Expand

    - геймлей, корабельные и абордажные бои по началу весьма интересны, да и в будущем не особо надоедают, а так же сносная прокачка 'Галки', да и кораблем просто приятно рулить от точки А до точки Б.
    - локации, от поселений до джунглей сносная проработка лвл.дизайна большинства лок.
    - сюжет, на удивление любопытен и почти всегда интересно, что будет с персонажами и как будут развиваться дальнейшие события.
    - персонажи, весьма колоритные и запоминающиеся.

    9ть 'зарытых сундуков' из 10ти.

    -----

    DLC: Freedom Cry
    Относительно сносное длс на 3 часа сюжетки и 3 часа шмона карты на 100%.

    Из минусов:
    - душноватый и сумбурный сюжет.

    Из плюсов:
    - новое оружие и примочки.
    - новые доп.активности.
    - есть пару эпичных и драйвовых моментов, которых не особо много в оригинале.

    7мь 'освобождений' из 10ти.

    -----

    DLC: Авелина
    Сюжетное дополнение с героиней Assassins Creed:Liberation из 3 миссий на минут 40, комфортно играется и не душит, но на столько короткое, что непонятно, зачем и для кого оно вообще было сделано?

    5ть 'спасений' из 10ти.    … Expand

    One of the best portrayals of pirates game. Even if the story and main character weren't the best, the gameplay was enjoyable enough to redeem them all.

    So, I don't like Assassin's Creed. Seriously, I don't like that historical and science fictionary hybrid. But Black Flag... It's a masterpiece... As a expert of the history of piracy, I can say that this game recreated pirate realism better than any other game. But, it's a pity that there are no such nations in the game as Netherlands and France(((

    Que jogo gostoso. Exploração, combate, personagens, variedade de atividades, tudo é legal. O jogo mais divertido da saga até então, e acho difícil que enquanto jogo de pirata ele irá ser superado tão cedo. Felizmente todo o potencial desperdiçado do assassin's creed III é aproveitado aqui.

O jogo mais divertido da saga até então, e acho difícil que enquanto jogo de pirata ele irá ser superado tão cedo. Felizmente todo o potencial desperdiçado do assassin's creed III é aproveitado aqui. As caçadas são recompensadoras, assim como toda a exploração. Certo, talvez explorar um local para pegar baús que rendem pouco dinheiro não seja lá muito recompensador, mas ainda é divertido explorar esse mapa gigante, principalmente porque a escalada é muito valorizada e a quantidade de coletáveis é satisfatória, não exagerada e não pequena demais. As batalhas navais são fantásticas, e o combate com o personagem, mesmo sendo bem fácil, é dinâmico e divertido, mas o foco mesmo desse combate fica para o stealth, pois agora temos dardos de sono, dardos ensandecidos, pistolas, uma faca de arremesso que você pode pegar e tem que usar com cuidado por só poder levar uma, bombas de fumaça, uma gama enorme de abordagens que se pode ter com um refinamento bem melhor que os dos outros jogos, pois tudo aqui funciona muito bem.
    Dinheiro finalmente faz diferença no jogo, pois você precisa melhorae seu navio, e isso dá uma sensação de recompensa nos combates navais. Explorar áreas submersas, uma das minhas partes preferidas, te dá plantas para melhorar o navio, o que une a divertida exploração subaquática com um sistema bem equilibrado de recompensa.
    Sinceramente, a história não é tão complexa ou elaborada, mas e carismática o bastante para ser muito imersiva. O final chega a ser emocionante, na dosagem certa para dar um sentimento de que tudo que jogamos teve propósito no fim.
    Todas as atividades secundárias são elogiáveis, desde saquear um armazém até pegar coletáveis como as canções. Os objetivos secundários são bem balanceados, não atrapalha sua jogatina como nos anteriores e é mais um extra para desafiad ou orientar o jogador.
    Um dos meus jogos preferidos da vida, sem dúvidas, e um dos que mais joguei e ainda assim me faltam palavras para expressar o quanto acho ele divertido. Foi o primeiro da saga em que não só desejei sinceramente fazer 100% de sincronização como também o único que me diverti tentando, não so por ser divertido explorar, mas por também liberar informações, documentos, vídeos, trechos do livro e várias outras coisas bônus para que gosta da saga. É uma obrigação para todo fã da saga jogar este jogo e uma recomendação muito boa para quem não curtia a saga até então.    … Expand

    This game was great in every way. The game's artistic graphics, textures and lighting, gameplay mechanisms, characterization, story and mission design were perfect and wonderful.

    One of the best things you do in AC3 was naval warfares. And this game is all about pirate things. Very fun to play.

    Solid game, only drawbacks were the too many tail quests and the side characters not being developed particularly deeply - they were still good but for a 10/10 they need to be as deep as the side companions in say Dragon Age: Origins.

    like rogue and ac3 it has an exotic setting and not a European setting as I prefer but otherwise it's a good game

    育碧最成功的海战模式，比后代的希腊海军游戏有意思多了，成功的一代，但是没琢磨明白，一个杀了刺客的海盗，最后竟然能修成正果。

    Ironically enough for a game which centers around the concept of genetic ancestry, however, it continually lets itself down by refusing to break away from its own tired and worn-out heritage,

    Fans that were bummed out by Assassin’s Creed III will most likely find Black Flag to be a welcoming return to what they love about the series, with a great story, amazingly crafted world and smart additions to the sailing that make it a refreshing part of the Assassin’s Creed formula.

    Makes up for the failings of AC3, delivering a fantastic, engaging open world experience. [Jan 2014, p.78]
