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. Using an expanded version of the sailing mechanic from Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag sees Edward journeying from Jamaica to Cuba to Spanish Florida to the Bahamas on his ship, the . Conway, as he searches for treasure, also finds his place within the ancient, series-defining Assassin/Templar conflict. Meanwhile, in the game's overarching meta-story, players take on the role of a video game programmer at the Templar front company Abstergo and search the cloud for the uploaded genetic information on the Kenway family line. It's a game within a game. Gameception, if you will. And it's quite fun.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag puts the franchise back on track with a gorgeous huge open world that's ripe for exploration. It's a must-buy for stealth-action fans.

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

Of the many games that launched as cross-generation titles, Assassin's Creed 4 stands out on the PlayStation 4 as one game that might be worth a second

This is the second time I bought this game and I loved it just as much as I did when I got it the first time! If you ever as a child wanted to be a pirate in any way your going to love this game hands down best pirate game and assassins creed game!

This game has everything you've come to expect from an AC title. Interesting story line with a wide variety of missions, assassin contracts, a variety of collectibles, viewpoints (of course), wardrobe options. Hunting local wildlife can be an interesting challenge, especially the crocodiles.

Assassin's Creed 3 was a flop in my eyes, it just plain sucked for me. But the sea battles were fun, and it's like Ubisoft knew to make an Assassin's Creed game around the Sea battles and so Black Flag was born.

Definitely top two for Assassin's Creed games in the franchise. For the price on here and the hours of playing time, can't beat it. If you enjoyed any of the series before you will love this one.

Meet Edward Kenway, the son of AC3 's Haytham Kenway and the grandparent of Connor. Edward is a pirate that loves to be free, sail the seven seas and loves to live life by the pirate code. Deep down he is just a mere man, that just wants an easily (ish) life and to provide for his loved one.

A fresh uncomplicated & gripping story +Edward Kenway is likable & charismatic +Gameplay has been simplified for the better +Naval combat has also be improved +Huge open world +Tons of replay value +Beautiful Visuals

Running up the wrong wall/tree unintentionally can be very irritating; Still no crouch button
