Hands up if you've grown tired of the Assassin's Creed franchise over the past few years. There's probably a lot of you. After progressive sequels in the shape of Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood , the yearly cycle of historical hood-wearing and neck stabbing began to grow stale.

Awesome game having alot of fun playing, I find the hardest part steering my ship and trying to fire my cannons correctly at times definitely recommend to all, also great service from Mightyape as always

Man the cannons and brace for impact, because Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is here to blow up any preconceived notions you had about the annual franchise. With a great cast of characters and a huge world to explore, this next-generation sequel is the best installment since Assassin's Creed II.

Ubisoft cranks out a brand-new Assassin's Creed game once a year. I should know. I've played every single Assassin's Creed to date, blazing a trail of silently stabbed corpses in marathon play sessions, hungrily gobbling up every twist and turn in the franchise's convoluted narrative.

More pirating; battling; plundering; diving; Adewale is an interesting character for players of all backgrounds; Liberating slave ships requires you to master high-seas combat and stealth; Try a swash-buckling assault on a plantation and owners might kill the slaves you've come to free; Machete and...

As near as I can tell, general fan reaction to the Assassin's Creed series hit its zenith with Assassin's Creed II: Brotherhood and seemed to level out with Revelations, before taking a rather precipitous dive with the release of Assassin's Creed III – a game that all but the hardcore fans found...

It's ironic that the best Assassin's Creed game in the series to date has the least to do with the core premise upon which the franchise was founded.  Sure, there are Assassins and Templars, cool hooded cloaks, fancy parkour moves, swords, pistols, and even that blue/red/gold instinctual hunter...

Frustratingly shallow and hamstrung by underdeveloped gameplay mechanics, and yet somehow the fact that that an open world pirate game exists at all is enough to provide a certain amount of fun.

Enormous game world with an almost endless array of things to see and do; Fun new present day sections and enjoyable naval battles; Generally good graphics, for a current gen port

None of the gameplay elements stand up to close scrutiny and the artificial intelligence is extremely basic; Meandering plot and largely uninteresting characters

Good game and nice one, and price is less than everywhere and it seems what it looks.

Even though it's not technically a next gen console game, AC4 is one of the few games currently available on the PS4 that will occupy many hours. Excellent execution of the concept, this is the most detailed pirate game you're likely to have ever played.

If you are looking for a good bargain and don't own assassin's creed black flags this is a great purchase for less than half of the full game and 4 to 5 hours of game play it is fantastic. For $14.99 you get a full game that is worth it and way longer than MGS Ground Zeroes!
