Jul 8, 2026I regard Resynced with the exact same sentiments as Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Resynced goes beyond the scope of a traditional remaster and adjusts the content of Black Flag to make improvements to the experience (what you’d expect for a remake). But the downside to these fixes is that it highlights problems that weren’t fixed or, even worse, new problems that didn’t even exist in the original game. Resynced is a half-step toward something truly fantastic. If you play it, you will see the strengths of Black Flag. You will see why the original game was the de facto pirate video game for years. But you will also find a remake that doesn’t manage to take the crown from the very game that it’s remaking.

Jul 14, 2026Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a superb tribute to one of Ubisoft's best titles in this franchise. The visual enhancements and the revamped ground combat more than justify going back on the adventure, even for those who know the original one inside out. You’ll have to put up with some occasionally persistent stiffness in movement and technical optimisation issues that require a little patience (even if Ubisoft has got us used to far worse). But as soon as the sails fill and the crew raise their voices towards the horizon, the magic happens all over again. The King of the Seas is back.
