\u201cWhile some core mechanics could still be improved, Black Flag’s story, world, and systems come together to form a markedly better and more cohesive game than Assassin’s Creed III. It’s not only the best Assassin’s Creed game to date, but also one of the best games for pirate fans to embark on as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
OXM<\/a>: 9\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cAfter weathering the somewhat diminishing returns of Revelations and ACIII, Black Flag is exactly the shot in the arm Assassin\u2019s Creed needed. It\u2019s dependably fun, endlessly engrossing, and filled with tons of ready distractions everywhere you look, all while bringing to life a fascinating period of history with an engaging story and memorable characters.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nGamespot<\/a>: 4.5\/5<\/h3>\n\u201cIf there was ever any question that Assassin’s Creed needed something ambitious to get the series back on track, Black Flag is that game and then some.\u201d<\/p>\n
IGN<\/a>: 8.5\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cThe amazing world of Assassin\u2019s Creed IV: Black Flag has kept me gladly occupied for longer than any other game in the series, even though its story isn\u2019t the strongest.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Escapist<\/a>: 10\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cWhile Black Flag feels very much like an Assassin’s Creed game, its gameplay reminds me more of Sid Meier’s Pirates! wrought in glorious 3D. As in that classic game, you are free to sail wherever your heart desires, and be as dastardly or as benign as you like. Embodying Edward Kenway and living through his adventures on the seas, while also experiencing his struggle with Assassins and Templars alike, is pure escapist delight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shacknews<\/a>: 8\/10<\/h3>\n\u201cMuch like Assassin’s Creed 2 took the unpolished ideas of the original AC, Black Flag builds upon the flawed AC3 experience. Ubisoft’s latest adventure takes the best ideas of last year’s game, refines them, and adds surprising new experiences in the form of underwater missions and a genuinely fun modern-day narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n
