The android companion app was a great addition enabling you to play at other times, but unfortunately the fleet building was too easy to build up large amounts of cash so detracted the point from alot of other aspects so dock some points for that....and the combat is simplistic does get a bit boring. Still great just randomly slaughtering loads of red coats in similar vein to GTA. all in all great fun though… Expand

The story is disappointing but the visuals and gameplay are most definitely not. It’s when you’re not completing main objectives when this game shines brightest. Get into epic naval battles and plunder the ships to upgrade the Jackdaw, jumping on and off your ship any time you want. Take out camps of enemy soldiers with a variety of weapons and tools. Hunt animals such as jaguars, monkeys, and crocodiles or harpoon sharks and whales. Search for sunken treasure. There’s plenty of fun to be had!… Expand

    The year is 1715. Pirates rule the waters of the Caribbean and have established a lawless Republic. Among these outlaws is a lethal young captain named Edward Kenway. His notorious exploits earn the respect of legends like Blackbeard, but draw him into an ancient war that may destroy everything the pirates have built for themselves.

    Best Assassins Creed to date. Although the sea adventures are somewhat drawn out and overdone the overall gameplay is excellent. The Next-Gen Engine also creates a stunning world to play in. The only other thing that holds this game back is the mediocre AI intelligence, other than that it is a captivating must play title

    The best Assassin's Creed game made so far. I find the annualized titles in general to disappoint more than impress, but this game added some great things to make the game much more playable and enjoyable.

    Pirate assassin. Enough said. The pirate parts of the games with the boat and island hopping is a mechanic I love and reminds me a lot of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

    Largest map I have played in an Assassin's Creed game by far, and that allowed for a lot of exploration in your shiny new boat!

    On the negative side, you do have to remember this is yet another Assassin's Creed game. the gameplay is repeated as usual, but I like the smooth combat and movement a lot. This is the Assassin's Creed to bring back a story worth playing through.

    In closing, if you only wanted to play one AC game, I would highly recommend this one. Glad Ubisoft finally made something a little new, and hope they continue the trend!

And there is ton to be had as you are allowed to fully explore the map once you progress through the story, use classical pirate-era equipment like flintlocks and scimitars, even deck out and customize your own ship and recruit a crew. You will be fighting many superpowers, secret organization and other pirates on your journey only group you are not allowed to kill are civilians and domestic animals which to me seems like a wasted opportunity; I get that AC doesn't want to be like GTA but what's the harm done if we could stab that annoying character that keeps getting in our way besides if civilians were allowed to be harmed it would have made the experience more rewarding.… Expand

Le système de chasse, la customisation de bateaux, la navigation fluide sur terre et sur mer( à l'exception de quelques sauts ratés d'un navire a l'autre), les visées automatiques et j'en oublie plusieurs!... font en sorte que le jeu se diversifie d'une situation à l'autre.

    Côté graphique l'on peut ressentir un peu que ce jeu est à la base pour la ps3. Ca n'équivaut pas les jeux plus récent que l'on voit sur le marché et ca n'arrive pas à la cheville du port de skyrim sur ps4 où plusieurs éléments graphiques ont été remplacé/modifié. Cela dit, ca n'enlève rien à la qualité du jeu. Il reste tout de même impressionnant lorsque l'on se trouve en hauteur.

    Les points les plus faibles selon moi sont l'histoire, la répétition des décors d'une île à l'autre et la monotonie du personnage principale.
    L'histoire n'amène rien de nouveau dans la série des assassins j'ai eu du mal à faire le lien entre les épisodes précédents. Je ne veux pas spolier alors je n'en dit pas plus.
    Pour ce qui est des décors, je trouve que contrairement au épisode précédent les différentes locations se ressembles toutes. Il n'y a pas de "wow" lorsque l'on arrive sur une nouvelle île où bien une nouvelle ville. TOUT se ressemble.
    Le personnage principal est plutôt inintéressant... sont histoire n'est pas très embalente et son préambule laisse à désirer. Rien à voir avec Ezio ou même Connor des épisodes 2 et 3.

    Pour terminer, je crois que ce jeux mérite un 9/10 sur ps3 du à son impressionnante qualité autant graphique que gameplay. Cependant cette review est pour ps4. -1 pour le port un peu paresseux sur la current gen.
    Pour mon opinion personnel, je crois que Ubisoft tien une solide mécanique de gameplay et qu'il devrait exploiter plus le monde des pirates en dehors de l'univers des assassins. J'attends avec impatience un jeu comme celui ci sans les assassins.    … 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. This is one hell of a game, and a must have for any assassin's creed fan.… Expand

    “Assassin's creed 4” is one of the best assassins creed game so far. The gameplay is amazing, the graphics are great, and the storyline is one you want to play over and over. Starting of as a pirate named Edward Kenway you come to see what you truly want in life and to wake up and find out you were in the animus, a machine that shows you what you ancestors did and saw in there life time.

    The setting is early 1800s in the bahamas. The weird thing about the game is it talks more about being a pirate than an assassin, which the name of the game is called assassins creed. There is a lot of sneaking around in the game as well as taking down enemy ships. You go on a path of finding the observatory in the simulation to find it in the real world.

    The story line makes more sense when you play from the first game, but it is still fun to play without all that. So overall I give it a 5/5 star rating, The age group i recommend it to would be 12 years and up. It can be scary to younger gamers.

    So over all it is a great game, but it might not suit some people. And I’m not saying if you have a child this is the greatest game ever for them. But if you are older and like action adventure, and love a good story you should try “assassins creed 4 black flag”. This is my favorite game out of the series to play and i feel like anyone can like it to.    … Expand

With the exception of leaps of faith, pretty much every element here from AC has lead me to realize how much I dislike the franchise. Boring tailing missions, annoying sneaking missions, stupid chase sequences that have 0 flexibility…and don’t even get me started on eavesdropping…hell technically a huge part of the game is about a mcguffin that lets you eavesdrop on anyone…and the MODERN day parts are so bad and boring it reminds me of when they force you to play as Mary Jane in Spiderman ps4…Assassins Creed has always been worse because of its modern day elements and the animus. The series would have been far better without all that because it pulls you out of the moment and makes it far harder to get invested in your character and time period. Seeing all the stupid blue loading lines and even the interface breaks the illusion, or 4th wall if you will, that im a swashbuckling pirate…

    Why do I give the game an 8? Because I love pirates. I enjoy sailing and upgrading my ship. Again, it’s the fact that I loved all these elements so much that I realized how much I actually now hate AC. I enjoyed the first one as it was a new idea, and AC2 as well…but Ubisoft has no idea how to make a fun game…they just throw the same 4 missions around the map 30 times and call it a day. They have no concept of what fun is. I bought this game to be a pirate, but once you get to the island you are searching for the game pivots from a pirates tale to more insufferable ac bs.

    Ubisofts response is to then make skull and bones…a game where you can’t even board enemy ships to sword fight…no wonder its been in development for 10 years. At this point ive lost all faith in Ubisoft, and I won’t be taking a leap of faith with them again. They cant make fun games, and seem to enjoy writing ridiculous stories so they can blow smoke up their buts. My advice? Skip the cut scenes and mute the tv when it gets to the modern day crap. Hidden in here is a good pirate game, its unfortunate its tarnished by AC.

    P.s AC3 I think is contender for the worst big franchise triple A game of all time. Ubisoft, just let go and take a leap of faith on something else.    … Expand

I know it's "essential" to the story - but couldn't the series just offer up the games now without the whole Animus part now? I mean, the series is well established and I just don't see how that part adds anything to the game. I'm sure hard core fans will disagree....anyhow ACBF is amazing - it feels much more open and free so I'm going to give the franchise another shot.

But in the next couple dozen hours of my experience, I actually came out not only surprised, but deeply impressed by the well crafted story-line, main and supporting characters, and even villains. And while the ship mechanic had been used on the third game, Ubisoft definitely improved and worked hard to make it the best part of the game; Edward's Ship (The Jackdaw) feels like another character, and with the amount of time you spend on it, it doesn't end up boring or repetitive. Also the number of activities you can do in the game is very impressive and varied, and it allows you to not get too tired of them in the time playing the game. Also on the good side, the excellent score by Brian Tyler, that really makes you get into the pirate theme, and I have played it outside the game the second most of a pirate music outside the First Pirates of the Caribbean Movie. On the bad side, the main combat mechanics of the game, while fun and good in whole, are not very improved from previous games and the new gadgets, while cool, do not change to much in the aspect of how you played from previous games. Also other stuff carried from previous games not improved like some glitches while climbing and the like, and the sometimes hilariously dumb AI, especially in covert missions. But all in all, a great experience that lefts me wanting to see more of the pirates Assassin's and really gets me in the mood and the characters, and probably the best Assassin's game outside the Assassin's Creed II. So great job Ubisoft, although from what I hear from Unity, it seems you couldn't continue the streak, but we'll have to see. Definitely recommended even if you haven't played previous games, especially if you like pirates. Final Verdict: 8.9… Expand

Σε αυτές τις γραμμές θα ρίξουμε μια σύντομη ματιά στον οπτικοακουστικό, και γενικότερα, τεχνικό τομέα του νέου Assassin's Creed.

    Ο λόγος που δε θα ασχοληθούμε με τα του παιχνιδιού, είναι γιατί ως παιχνίδι το Black Flag του PS4 δε διαφέρει σε τίποτα από τις εκδόσεις των Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U και PC. Για να είμαστε πιο ακριβείς, οι PS3 και PS4 εκδόσεις του τίτλου έχουν αποκλειστικό περιεχόμενο, που αφορά στις τρεις επιπλέον αποστολές της Aveline de Grandpré, που γνωρίσαμε στο Assassin's Creed III: Liberation. Δεν είναι όμως προνόμιο της PS4 έκδοσης, γι' αυτό και δε θα δώσουμε περισσότερο βάρος σε αυτές.

    Εκεί, όμως, που υπάρχει φρέσκο περιεχόμενο, είναι στον τεχνικό τομέα. Καταρχάς, η ανάλυση είναι σαφέστατα βελτιωμένη. Αν και το ελαφρύ aliasing συνεχίζει να υφίσταται, κυρίως στα μοντέλα του φόντου, η εικόνα είναι καθαρή και κρυστάλλινη. Το frame rate είναι επίσης βελτιωμένο, που μπορεί να μην πιάνει τα 60 καρέ ανά δευτερόλεπτο, αλλά συνολικά κρατιέται ομαλό και σε ψηλά επίπεδα.

    Το polygon count έχει αυξηθεί δραματικά, τα textures των μοντέλων και των αντικειμένων είναι ευκρινέστερα και αισθητά πιο όμορφα, ενώ και τα particle effects (φωτιά, καπνοί, ομίχλη κ.α.) εμφανίζονται αρκετά πιο ρεαλιστικά. Σημαντική βελτίωση έχει υποστεί και η μηχανή φυσικής. Πλέον τα φυτά αλληλεπιδρούν με τον κεντρικό πρωταγωνιστή, την ώρα που τα νεκρά σώματα των αντιπάλων, καθώς και τα όπλα που αφήνουν πίσω τους, υπακούουν με περισσότερη ευλάβεια στους νόμους του Νεύτωνα. Επιπροσθέτως, χάρμα οφθαλμών είναι τα βελτιωμένα κύματα και η θάλασσα γενικότερα, ενώ το draw distance έχει αυξηθεί και αυτό κατά πολύ.

    Δεν είναι όμως μόνο τα γραφικά βελτιωμένα, αλλά και ο ήχος. Δοκιμάζοντας τον τίτλο στο PS3 και αμέσως μετά σε DTS 5.1 στο PS4, η αλλαγή που παρατηρήσαμε στα ηχητικά εφέ και στην ποιότητα του surround ήχου γενικότερα, είναι κάτι παραπάνω από εμφανής.    … Expand

Side missions are interesting cause every contract has a back story(with some exceptions to, there are worthless missions), it's not exactly grind to win.

    The downside is the repetitiveness and some time consuming not worth your time side missions or contracts. The point is to make money fast. Other than those I recommend the game to all the sand game lovers.    … Expand

    Nice game. The combat is nice but could be better, the ship combat is very nice, makes you feel like a true pirate. The story is kinda weak, the time passes too fast, and Edward never actually becomes an assassin. The graphics are kinda bad for a 2014 game. Still, nice game overhall.

With an interesting twist to the modern day playable character, it's a great entry into the series and by far the best pirate game around!

Black Flag is an outstanding game that works more as a pirate game rather than an Assassin’s Creed game, however there are enough elements of Assassin’s Creed that it does not feel too foreign from the franchise. The main character Edward is one of the best in the series and his journey from selfish pirate to unselfish Assassin willing to take on his role as a father is a fantastic one that also has its slow moments. Although it is unfortunate that the moments directly involved with the Assassin Brotherhood feel like the games weakest moments the game feels more about Edwards journey about accepting the role of Assassin rather than showing his journey as one.

However, the Caribbean has to be one of the most compelling and beautiful open worlds ever created, and coupled with a brilliantly rewarding and deep naval combat system, you can still pour dozens of hours into it happily. The story is for the first and apparently last time in the franchise, devoid of the usual Assassin's Creed lore and instead focuses on characters, redemption arcs and explores them deeply, aided with excellent acting.… Expand

    Melhor Assassin's Creed sem ser Assassin's Creed! Simulador de pirata e história foda.

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    What stands out in this game is the naval combat and exploration component which took advantage of the large scale open world. The story, combat, and par core (movement) were the weakest parts of the game. Just like previous iterations of the series the par core is hard control. It’s way too often your character will go a different direction or jump down which you weren’t trying to do or trying to do the exact opposite. Story missions were full of tail missions, eavesdropping missions, and are repetitive.    … Expand

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag doesn't continue the story very much. However, the focus on sea battles is a fine addition.

    ASSASSIN'S CREED BLACK FLAG IT'S THE BEST PIRATES GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED
    when u talking ABT an open world and your own ship and crew and go for raiding another ships man just take my money aside from the multiplayer that doesn't have any link to the main idea of the game

    I gave the game 10/10

    This game is trying to be uncharted and sea dog but it makes it even better. The plot in the Assassin's Creed series is finally more darker then it used to be. I liked it even more then the second part.

    This was the Assassin's Creed game to pull me into the series. The amount of things you can do it fun and exciting. The free running controls can be unfavorable at times but overall the shine outweighs the flaws.

    Dieses Spiel wird ewig einen Platz in meinem Herzen haben. Nicht nur das Gameplay hat es mir sehr angetan, auch die Story, die große Welt und die Nebenmissionen fand ich sehr unterhaltsam. Leider war der Multiplayermodus in meinen Augen nicht spielbar, da mit dort der Content nicht gefallen hat.

    Honestly, probably the peak of the Assassin's Creed franchise. The combat is fun, though super easy. The ship battles are a great addition though. They're much more difficult than the hand to hand combat. The world is cool, exploring is cool, you really do feel like a pirate at times. Finding treasure is awesome af.

    Cons
    - the modern day stuff is a joke
    - the villains in this game have zero presence

    ACIV: Black Flag is a unique entry to the series. So unique that it has non AC fans liking this game as it is to this day, the best pirate game we have ever gotten.

    Large part of this is the fact that Edward is not in fact an assassin for the majority of this game. So instead of an order trained killer donning the robes, a privateer serving under the British crown drives this game forward. Not out of a sense of heroism, justice or revenge, but pure and unchecked greed.

    Edward is a highlight for this game, as he is one of the few protagonists this series has, that goes through a complete narrative arc. From a greedy pirate, to a broken man, to somebody who decides he has more than money at stake in this, to an eventually good man and a solid father. One of the few stories that are firmly piloted by the active protagonist rather than the villain.

    The ship combat in this game feels amazing. The fact that there are no loading screens from your first spotting of a ship you want to plunder, through the fight and boarding process to the eventual takeover of the ship feels incredibly fluid. With each new upgrade, the fights get more and more fun as you unlock more options to subdue even the strongest ships.

    When it comes to the atmosphere, the simple act of sailing and listening to your crew singing sea shanties will have you in trance over how great this game is even in its quiet moments.

    One of the greatest entries in the series, and the only one I would put up there alongside with the Ezio trilogy for how much I love it.    … Expand

    Black Flag dał mi nowe spojrzenie na serie Assassin's Creed. Przewybornie napisany bohater, który przemierza morza i oceany na swojej Kawce z liczną załogą to coś, czego jeszcze nie było. Gigantyczna mapa pozwala nam na wiele godzin zabawy, co jak dla mnie jest okej. Najbardziej podobała mi się Havana. Nie muszę chyba wspominać o klimacie jakiego możemy doświadczyć. Mocna zmiana.

    Best pirate game ever made. Too many following missions, but the sailing and the exploration and the upgrades and the stealth and the swashbuckling... it's just damn good.

    The PlayStation 4 version of the game is mechanically the same as the PlayStation 3 version, but the new engine is eye-poppingly awesome.
