    I bought this back in 2016, but it's still very good in 2020.

    Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag is the best Assassin's Creed game in the series, mainly because I like pirates. And this settings gives fresh air from the "normal" Assassin's Creed games.

    Buen juego de piratas, con protagonista carismatico y juego de assassin's creed bastante correcto

    I really loved Black Flag. I missed a good present storyline but it was fine how Ubisoft handled the special situation. The game itself was great. The protagonist, the story, the graphics, the setting, the ship and all its mechanics. I enjoyed that Black Flag really much even tho the assassin storyline began really late

    Bad... Very bad... I thibk this is the point when the storys in Assassin's Creed games begun to mean nothing. I know, maybe that's not the part of the game people look at when they plan an Assassin's Creed, but i think it's remarcable how this game makes it so bad. Also i remembered it to be funny, but lately i've played it again and i couldn't have been more wrong. The game it'sBad... Very bad...

    This is, by far, one of the best entries in the series. It feels fresh and different. And you know that feeling? Yeah, the one you have when playing AC2 and that was missing from AC3? It's back.

    é o melhor jogo dem questão de dublagem brasileira? não; é o melhor jogo em graficos no ps3? não, é a melhor historia do ps3? também não, mas o jogo é extremamente divertido e o kenway é muito interessante, embora os inimigos não sejam burros e as partes da abstergo sejam , vale a pena jogar

    This game was great I never got to play the next gen version of this game but its a solid assassin's creed game with a good setting and story but not the best game in my opinion but possibly the last good assassin's creed game , that could be controversial but I dont care

    I may say this is a really good game and i had my fun with it, but i think it isnt as good as people make it to be, some good things are the world, its huge and interesting to explore, some missions when you are underwater and enter a cave were there are enemies its preety fun, the way you kill with the gun its great, i have to say that the story is really good too, but here is the thing,I may say this is a really good game and i had my fun with it, but i think it isnt as good as people make it to be, some good things are the world, its huge and interesting to explore, some missions when you are underwater and enter a cave were there are enemies its preety fun, the way you kill with the gun its great, i have to say that the story is really good too, but here is the thing, the graphics dont look as good as AC3, it looks so yellow and just not as great, it doesnt feel like assassins creed in some way like the cities, they arent big enough to mess around, and most of the places are islands, the worst part of the game are the naval missions, if in AC3 were bad, at least there they were side missions, here they force them in your throat and they arent fun, some ships are way to hard and unfair, other bad thing is the gameplay, i love AC3 gameplay and this is somewhat the same gameplay... but they made a manner to make it worse, i dont know i just dont feel the same fun doing parkour or killing enemies like in the last games, the sound effects are awful, the way edward runs, the fighting its just not fun, and the missions in the last games were great and unique, here... all the missions are to damn similar and ununique, its just follow this guy without him noticing, kill him, now do this awful naval mission, and again and again and again. i dont like the word overrated but i think this describes the game well.… Expand

    The story is average at best, created in a true Ubisoft spirit. The graphics and the sound are good for an initial xbox 360 / PS3 title.

    Boring, repetitive and not difficult. It's a collecting game with tons of uninteresting dialogues.

    Bi improvement over Assassin's Creed 3, but runs horribly on the PS3. An almost unplayable framerate with the same old garbage Assassin's creed controls. Should have not been ported to the PS3.

    A beatiful sequel of Assassin's Creed 3 with a fantastic free roaming style....and a great setting of atmosphere and a beatiful story.Still worth it to play after a decade only one thing is bad the repetitive of combat system style P.S. (I Played both version of the game PS3/PS4 and XBOX360)

    Ship combat and exploration are the highlight in this entry. If not for some of the stealth missions and subsidiary game systems, this would be a masterpiece.

    All the distinguishing features of the series – the Templars, parkour and brutal assassinations – are here, but now they are not the core, they are just elements of the best pirate game ever, of a Red Dead Redemption at sea. [13/2013, p.52]

    Black Flag is a remarkably new take on the series, and I would go as far to say it’s the finest entry we’ve seen to date.

    With the new Assassin’s Creed we find ourselves in the Caribbean with a new main character called Edward Kenway. Black Flag focuses on the sea battles we saw in the third game and continues with this, with some new additions. Overall, you’ll be busy for a while – 40 hours, give or take – but the story isn’t that compelling.
