    If you like the Assassin's Creed franchise, you're gonna like this game. In my personal book, this is where the franchise peaked.

It is relieving to play a character that often does not take the philosophical aspects of the story as serious as he ought (or as serious as you do), and who evolves from an actual terrible human being, who betrays the trust of those who mean little to him, and sometimes those who mean a lot to him, into a person we can sorta get behind. Also, probably the best ending I have seen in my life (in stark contrast to the joke of an ending that is AC Syndicate)… Expand

    Awesome combat, i mean REAL awesome. Edward Kenway is a rocking protagonist to play as, i love the way he moves! Boat fights are massive, and upgrading the Jackdaw and Edward is really important.

    My favourite part of the game was definitely Havana. Very fun part of the game, scouting the map collecting all collectables and assassination galore!

Still not perfect but really not much more to wish, I heard it is very good but it exceeded my expectations. However one thing to mention is that the performance on 99,99% of PCs will be absolutely awful. I was running it on GTX 1080 in SLI so I had no issues, but once I tried with single card, performance is really not good, and add to this idiotic double buffered v-sync that locks your FPS to 30 if you cannot maintain stable 60. And without V-sync it is a tearing disaster. The game is not less demanding than the newest and the most demanding games of 2016. I don't know how it would go if I played it on average setup, probably not so good, but if you play without performance issues then the game is absolutely wonderful.… Expand

There are tons of side quests to distract you from the main quest, such as the assassination contracts, which are really fun to complete. The jumping and climbing mechanics are executed perfectly, i've never had any problems while climbing buildings. The wii u version has a map on the gamepad, which allows you to see where you are going without having to pause the game, a really useful touch.

    I don’t quite know what to think about Assassin’s Creed® IV Black Flag™. The pirate parts and the open-world collect-a-thon are great, the story is nice, but movement and hand-to-hand combat is severely lacking when one is used to Arkham City levels of perfection.

    Not a big Assassins Creed fan but I loved AC IV Black Flag!

    Pros:
    - Pirates, ships and naval battles!
    - Caribbean landscapes! :)
    - Silly characters and better AI compared to AC III
    - Is waaaay better than III and AC Unity :P
    - Simple but fun multiplayer.

    Cons:
    - Lack of story and sidequest.
    - Still not a good port for non SLI GTX 700's (If you have PS4 buy that version!)

    Great expirience of playing as a "pirate-assassin". Sea battles and the setting was charming, as for me. Customizing your ship and Edward's equipment is interested. But shipping on the opposite side of the map for some skin for your bullet bag is too tiring, as for me. But I cannot say the same about boarding ships. I also loved the songs which your team singing during the sea travels.Great expirience of playing as a "pirate-assassin". Sea battles and the setting was charming, as for me.

    Note: 7/10

    Gameplay: Same as always. Same gameplay as Assassin's Creed III, but with a slight worsening, yes, it gets worse. On the other hand, Ubisoft was a little more careful about bugs in the game, something hard to find in that game, but still, but nothing that would hinder a game immersion.

    Note: 8/10

    Graphics: There has been considerable graphical evolution since Assassin's Creed III. Water, rain, such as textures; all very beautiful. It is worth admiring the sunset as you cruise the Caribbean at the Gralha.

    Note: 9/10

    Final Note: 8/10

    Summary: It is a game that you are in under $ 10.00 and worth every penny. It has good graphics, story and gameplay, later of a time, began to repeat the story and extremely short.    … Expand

    This game is for me on par with the AC Revelations game. It is a 9,5 which rounds up to a 10.

    It took the mechanics of AC III, used them well and also provided a very exotic setting, freedom of exploration and memorable story development and cinematics. And energetic music too.

    Is is a great long-lasting taste when looking back at this game.

    Assassin's Creed 3 had many problems, but they did not concern the sea battles: Ubisoft accidentally embodied almost all the dreams of the authors of the domestic "Corsairs", only with the proper luster and scope. The problem is that in the plot campaign to become the captain of the ship it was necessary literally on one and a half missions, but Black Flag is devoted to pirates entirely.Assassin's Creed 3 had many problems, but they did not concern the sea battles: Ubisoft accidentally embodied almost all the dreams of the authors of the domestic "Corsairs", only with the proper luster and scope. The problem is that in the plot campaign to become the captain of the ship it was necessary literally on one and a half missions, but Black Flag is devoted to pirates entirely. The series for the first time rolled back along the time line: the barman Desmond Miles, being in the amazing device "Animus", traveled from the Middle Ages to the American War of Independence, but now the events moved half a century ago, when the Caribbean terrorized bukaniry.
    The new hero, thus, became the ancestor of the central characters of Assassin's Creed 3: Edward Kenway - the father of Kheitem Keneway and Grandfather Connor Kenway. And he's a pirate: after serving as a privateer during the recent wars between the metropolitan countries, he surrendered to the sea brigands, which, by the way, upset his wife, quite agreeing to poor farm life. In parallel, the old enemies of the Assassins and the Templars act in the colonies, and Edward accidentally gets involved in their affairs. All these adventures these days are parsed and recorded by the employee of the corporation "Abstergo", which seems to be going to make a family film from the material obtained. Edward - officially not seemingly an assassin, but he acts just like all the members of the brotherhood: he also fights, as he climbs on the roofs and hides in the bushes. All key mechanics of Assassin's Creed have not really been updated since the first part, and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag in this sense does not change anything. All battles, as well as six years ago, are won by counterattacks, any high constructions are subdued by one button, and everything can still be hidden in the grass, knee-high. The enemies have not become smarter, there are practically no new weapons and techniques, and all land tasks are a collection of primitive instructions from previous issues: catch up, run away, follow and overhear the conversation. Land on Black Flag has absolutely nothing to do. Even the most trifling naval battle - a large-scale show
    But, fortunately, you need to go down there only on key plot matters, all the rest of the time you can spend in the open sea. After a couple of hours of play you get your own ship (Edward will call it "Jackdaw") and you can immediately go to rob and kill. The sensations are tremendous: they are trembling with the helm, you are tactilely aware of the gigantic size and power of your brig, every wave and every breath of the wind. Even the most trivial battle is a large-scale show: the vessels are spinning, aiming at each other, exchanging a series of volleys, everything is burning, smokes and explodes. In this context, even outdated mechanics work in a new way: long-bored fights and parkour for the time being carried away again, when you take on board a stranger ship, jump between the masts and fence with the enemy captain. Going to the open sea, you never know exactly what awaits you. You can run into other pirates, you can get into a storm, you can loot a single schooner or track down victims larger, you can buy a diving bell and dive underwater, you can search for treasure or storm fortified forts. Extraction goes for upgrades: if you do not increase the firepower of the Galki, you can easily drown at the first meeting with a small enemy flotilla. Finally, you need to remember the team. After particularly loud clashes, almost half of all sailors may die, and they will have to recruit new ones: rescuing captured gangsters from shootings and gallows, hiring drunkards in taverns, luring captives on their sides or picking random drowning aboard. If the first and third parts of Assassin's Creed claimed a kind of pseudo-historical production, then Assassin's Creed 4, like Assassin's Creed 2 - is rather a motley themed show from a casino in Las Vegas. Everyone walks in bright clothes, big hats are decorated with funny feathers, the killers wear complex systems of belts and belts to take a dozen pistols at once, and if a black beard appears in the frame (and he is by no means the only historical figure , which you will meet), then it will look like it would look in a cartoon. But this is exactly what you expect from the game about treasures, rum, seas and jungles. Black Flag - a game for those who love filibusters rather a sample of "Pirates of the Caribbean"    … Expand

Never getting to finish an enemy because your character highlights another character before you can finish the one you have disabled? What about ship fights and not being able to see when enemies are about to attack so you can't counter. Or when you finish a memory and only than do you see the optional objectives and you get an 80% sync so you basically replay every memory at least twice. The memory where you have to kill the captain from the rope swing I will probably never get 100% sync even after trying 20 times. Visiting old friends optional objective is completely insane this will be my fourth time replaying that memory. And the countless times the counter attack doesn't work even though your pounding the key through your keyboard. I will most likely have to replace my keyboard. This game has been nothing but a huge frustrating stress. I haven't been able to enjoy this game at all just determined to finish.

It was JUST a pirate game with some forced long ass cutscenes in the middle to somehow link the game to the franchise. It's an alright game overall but very little to link it to the franchise.

    GAMEPLAY
    Il combat system risulta praticamente identico al capitolo precedente della saga, sempre molto intuitivo e rapido, e che quindi rende estremamente facile sterminare orde di nemici con pochi click. Purtroppo qualche volta, in situazioni un po' strette, come ad esempio nelle conquiste di navi, Edward non rimane in guardia e si prende quindi i colpi in arrivo direttamente senza possibilità di difesa. A mio avviso rimane comunque divertente.
    Le missioni non proprio variegate, le cose da fare alla fine sono sempre le stesse; inoltre ho trovato particolarmente frustranti le missioni di pedinamento, che impongono di fare alcune cose precise e macchinose per essere superate.

    GRAFICA
    La grafica è discreta e ci sta per l'anno in cui è stato prodotto il gioco. Non manca però qualche glitchettino ogni tanto. Il peggiore tra tutti indubbiamente quello per cui, non avendo la nebbia volumetrica attivata, si vedono solo i punti da conquistare dei forti navali muoversi, mentre tutto il resto della scena rimane invariato.

    NARRAZIONE
    La narrazione parte in modo abbastanza lineare e con una storia piuttosto banale e scontata. Tuttavia non manca più avanti qualche colpo di scena e qualche personaggio dalla caratterizzazione molto gradita.
    Ho trovato particolarmente interessanti e significative le fasi finali, che non si sbilanciano nell'esaltazione della vita da pirata ma quasi anzi la analizzano sotto una luce critica ed universalizzante.

    Indubbiamente uno dei giochi più graditi della saga, e penso che valga la pena provarlo per capirne il perché!    … Expand

    Definitely in top3 AC games, boat battles are 10/10, great design and feeling. Main hero is a bit out of the main templar/assassins story but maybe this made it better.

    Well ain't this game dressed up well in some nice graphics? Yea that's why it gets 1 point: For graphics! The game starts with the main character following someone, the next quests will be you tailing/following and it's best RUNNING after someone.

    This game is quite good to play even in 2021. Pretty serviceable graphics, tight combat, and amazing set pieces. Black Flag has its epic moments however they are burried under hours of boredom like Chasing/Trailing Missions and this game has alot of them . The Naval Combat is just pure epicness and the Ship-to-Ship combat really Added to the excitement .

    To me Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is ultimate Assassin's Creed experience. Specially for a game that came out in 2013, it had insane amount of good content, huge map, interesting story and one of the best video game soundtracks ever.

    Podobnie mało realizmu gdy próbuję postacią podpłynąć do statku wroga. Wyświetla się znaczek że ktoś ze statku ma do mnie strzelać mimo że nikt na statku jeszcze nie wie o mojej obecności. Nawet gdy podczas próby podpłynięcia schowam się nagle za skałą aby uniknąć trafienia to i tak dostaje mimo tego że to nawet niemożliwe. Wrogi statek jest w stanie wykryć małego płynącego gracza w wodzie a nie potrafi wykryć mojego dużego statku bo nie znajduję się na jakimś żółtym jebanym polu. Mała postać jest lepiej widoczna niż ogromny statek. Plus kurwa za realizm. Nawet jak jakimś cudem uda mi się podpłynąć moją postacią i zabić całą załogę, to i tak jeśli wrócę na swój statek to załoga przeciwnika nagle się odradza i normalnie jest walka. A jeśli chodzi jeszcze o zlecenia zabójstwa to często jest tak że muszę szukać celu na całej wyspie. Jak mnie zobaczy to zaczyna uciekać biegając po całej wyspie. Wystarczy że stracę go z oczu i już dostaje komunikat o tym że cel uciekł. Nie mógł uciec przecież statkiem bo żaden akurat nie był przycumowany przy wyspie więc jedynie mógł się schować na owej wyspie i musiałbym go szukać na całym jej obszarze, co i tak bym musiał robić nawet gdyby mnie nie wykrył.
    Często jest też tak że w momencie kiedy wcisnę przycisk odpowiadający za poruszanie się np. w prawo i do tego Shift to i tak bohater postanawia wspinać się na przeszkodę przed nim mimo tego że nie kliknąłem klawisza odpowiadającego za taką czynność.
    Przeciwnicy są tak głupi że nie wiedzą gdzie jestem nawet jeśli na ich oczach wejdę do krzaków.
    Jeśli zabiję kogoś będąc w krzakach, tym samym odpali się animacja w której mój bohater chowa ciało do krzaków to potem jeśli wróg nie wejdzie do krzaków to nie zobaczy ciała. Jeżeli jednak postanowię zabić kogoś nie będąc w żadnej kryjówce tylko normalnie stojąc a następnie wrzucę jego ciało do krzaków aby go nie znaleźli, to przeciwnicy i tak zobaczą ciało z jakiś 20 m nawet po ciemku w nocy.    … Expand

    - Gameplay -
    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
