That is part of what is great that there are so many small islands that you can dock on, and then go out and find treasures and many thing that will lead to further treasures down the line. This then follows into the freedom I mentioned, there is so much to see and do in this world and to get to some of these places you are going to need a tip top vessel to reach it all. If you hope to succeed you will often have to spent many hours on the sea tracking down and taking out other ships, all this to help yours get better, and be able to take on further challenges with ease. Most of the money you get will end up going into upgrading your ship to provide it with better abilities such as more power and better armour. Most of the games focus and time is spent around Edwards boat the Jackdaw, and often while on sea you will encounter several boats to take down and board, and also in many story missions you will encounter the same thing. Just about everything you do in Assassins Creed 4 is in pursuit of money and treasures, all for very specific reasons. On top of this you often won’t go into certain parts of the world until late into the game as you will need to upgrade your boat first.

A quick look at the overall world map near the start of the game may seem a bit daunting at first because of how big it is but most of the world is actually connected by water, with several little islands scattered about. Edward Kenway is not out to do things for honour or even revenge, all Edward wants is money, and throughout the entire length of the story he often goes on about money and the right price, but still this doesn’t make him a bad character his dedication to the pirates and his ambitions are what help to drive the game.īlack Flag exhibits a lot more freedom then previous entries in the franchise, it takes us out of the bustling cities and extensive forests or grasslands and sets up a world far bigger than ever conceived previously. The person you play as, is often very important in whether you will enjoy a game or not, that was half of Assassins Creed 3’s problem, it had pretty boring characters, for Assassins Creed 4 we see an entirely different character to what we have seen before. The first matter of business in this respect, was ensuring the main character wasn’t as boring as Haytham or Conner. While I will say that Black Flag has many issues of its own it does redeem the franchise and turns out to be a good new entry. It is not just me that thinks that, many a fan of the Assassins Creed franchise agree that 3 was not as good as it could have been, and that Black Flag had to be the game that redeems the franchise. The previous game really was the black sheep of the entire franchise, suffering from so many issues and just overall not being much fun.


Assassins Creed 4 left a lot to be expected after playing through Assassins Creed 3.
