Jun 22, 2020While the story is amazing, ship combat gets boring after a few hours. Ship exploration has very little to actually find. On foot, the lack of challenge or varied gamelay hurts.

Jul 17, 2021I could write a million word essay on everything wrong with this game. However, I think i’ll save us both some time and just tell you everything good about this game. Cons: Everything Pros: It ends.

Aug 28, 2020Overall a very tedious experience.
I've played every other AC game bar Rogue, and I must say this is probably the worst Assassin's Creed game.
Is it a decent pirate game? Probably.
But for someone who is looking for an Assassin's Creed experience, I really didn't enjoy this one and quit it after around sequence 8. -

May 8, 2021Great game but not user friendly on Nintendo switch. Love it otherwise. It bugs out allot on switch in my experience

Feb 21, 2022By far one of the more fun AC titles. It's addictive and the world is lush and fun to explore. The sailing mechanics are super fun and there's something kind of special about sailing through the night while your crew sings a sea shanty. Edward is a great assassin; he's suave and cocky and actually pretty funny. His story is surprisingly heartfelt, and this is definitely a memorable AC story.

Sep 2, 2022A great game with masterpiece ship mechanics and an atmospheric open world to explore but a boring story and main missions.

Jun 21, 2020It starts out feeling like the ultimate pirate game with a great cast of characters, but falls to overly un-fun dark writing and frustrating missions. If Pirates of the Caribbean is %100 fun and adventure, Black Flag comes only to %25, after feeling like %90 early on.

Jan 2, 2015A great looking game with a story that pulls you in, unfortunately I had difficulty with the controls, when running through a town I would start climbing when I didn't want to. This game is really hard, I got stuck on a mission where I needed to catch someone running away and after several attempts gave up and haven't played it since

Jun 19, 2017Great AC. The last true great AC we have gotten. Edward is a fantastic character and the ship battles are better than ever. All wrapped along a interesting story that doesn't take you out of the animus too much.

Dec 10, 2016Classic Assasin's creed game, usually don't disappoint, and this one didn't do it either. The game has several fun and different modes you can do, and is a vast game there is potential to spend several hours just exploring and collecting things.

Jul 1, 2015Ok, maybe this game is not for fans of the serie because it adds just so little content to the saga. But if you can abstract from that, the game has a lot of effort, you have combat, stealth, graphics, open world, islands, sailing!! There is a lot to do in this game, a lot of cities to discover. This game is the best AC technically speaking.

May 15, 2018The exploration is fun along with the ship mechanics, but the Assassin's Creed stuff was just so repetitive and boring. Constant trailing missions and a messy story kind of ruined a lot of this game, which is a shame.
-
May 9, 2020Its a great adventure game with amazing water and boat interaction, the only thing I dislike is the constant needed upgrade to advance in the game.

Jul 25, 2017This game rules! Don't listen to these whiny player haters! Amazing graphics! Super fun game play! Put on some headphones and you're whisked away to the sunny carribean! This game is like a mini vacation. I only give it a 9 for the slightly wonky controls, otherwise it's one of the funnest titles on ps4! Ahoy matey!

Apr 20, 2014The PlayStation 4 version of the game is mechanically the same as the PlayStation 3 version, but the new engine is eye-poppingly awesome.

Jan 30, 2014Ubisoft significantly improved the multiplayer side of things. Also, story takes you places.
