Fantastic game, have loved it from beginning to end. The combat both melee and ship is excellent, typical AC leaping, running and jumping. Probably only a couple of criticism's which I will state up front don't detract from the overall game for me, the characters could be a little more fleshed out,...

bought for my son and husband they loved playing it

I played the very first game in this series and was underwhelmed and nothing has changed, poor parkour, poor combat and just frustrating from the start, maybe im playing it wrong but I lasted about an hour which was the same as the first one I played, I just don't get it other games ive played do...

I haven't been the biggest fan of Assassin's Creed in the past but I'm a huge fan of pirates and this game really merged the two together nicely. The game is quite engaging and fairly deep.

I've played all the assassins creeds and I've enjoyed them all but this one is by far the best one yet. Not just because it's next generation and the graphics Etc are much better, but their seems much more to do in this game.

Assassins creed 4 is a great continuation of the series. Although I couldn't help but feel that Ubisoft need to mix it up a little more because it is almost exactly the same combat and upgrade systems as the previous installment.

Story; side quests; longevity

Main character; repetitive

The year is 1715, and lawless pirates dominate the Caribbean Sea. Neither land nor sea is safe from these rapscallions, and the biggest hellraiser of them all is a young captain named Edward Kenway, who explores the waters during piracy's golden age.

Exciting stealth-based action; Beautiful next-gen graphics; An expansive open world; Dozens of hours of gameplay on land and at sea

Difficult to control player character at times; Unrealistic NPC movements and interactions

The amazing world of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has kept me gladly occupied for longer than any other game in the series, even though its story isn't the strongest. At no point in my dozens of hours was I ever at a loss for something to do.

Epic scope; Great side quests; Lighter tone; Beautiful moments

Disappointing main story

A solidly executed addition to your adventure, worth returning to the game for.

Important characters and eras are problematically mired in the need to have an historian's knowledge to appreciate the deep-rooted issues to which each game's multi-year stories only offer a snapshot of.
