New protagonist Edward Kenway, for example, is a remarkable snapshot of the piratical time period that the open world adventure depicts. Still, these irritations are mere imperfections on an otherwise fine catch. Combat, when you’re exposed, is irritating, too, as you button bash your way through skirmishes, rather than fight with finesse.

A lack of precision in the control scheme – where R2 is used for virtually everything – can make the overemphasis on eavesdropping and chase missions a little frustrating at times, especially when you latch onto objects that you intended to sprint around. The simplicity of previous titles remains, but the pacey nature of the action makes it enjoyable all the same. This is not only an outstanding entry in the French publisher’s popular series, but also a lengthy swashbuckling excursion to boot.īeneath the seafaring and grog, though, this is still a stealth title at its core, with your objective to infiltrate enemy strongholds. As you sail the open seas, you really do get the feeling that anything is possible, with the far-away horizon filled to the brim with treasure, assassination targets, and dark secrets. Ubisoft has outdone itself with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, as there’s more to see and do than ever in this exciting world of pirates.
