Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag
Best: Being A Pirate: Sailing the open seas in Black Flag is so good, Ubisoft decided to turn it into its own game. (That…didn’t go very well.) But I get it. Black Flag nails the experience of being a pirate captain, complete with your own boat and crew. While boat combat had appeared in Assassin’s Creed III, Black Flag refines it, expands it, and creates a damn good open-world pirate game in the process.
Worst: The Cities And Islands: While I know Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is many fans’ favorite and saying anything negative about it might get me stabbed in a dark alley by some hooded assassin, I have to be honest: the islands and cities suck in Black Flag. They aren’t very big, they’re not much fun to explore, and I don’t even remember them without looking them up online. A big step back from previous games which contained incredibly detailed and large cities to climb about.
