Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, PC) | Game Review

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

General Information: 
Ubisoft's latest edition to the Assassin's Creed franchise, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, has taken many by surprise. The game was first announced around 28 February 2013. The game was released 29 October 2013 (US) (PS3, Xbox 360) and 19 November 2013 (US) (PC, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4) (PC requirements down the bottom of page)

Assassin's Creed 3 to many people wasn't a very good game, which when Assassin's Creed 4 was first announced and was featuring more pirates than assassin's, some were a bit weary. 

Let me tell you now. If you buy the game, you won't be disappointed! Assassin's Creed 4 is an open world, progression game with over 60 different destinations to travel to including Havana, Kingston and Nassau. 

You play as EDWARD JAMES KENWAY a pirate trained by assassin's (So far as I know he doesn't end up getting trained by assassin's) The story is that you are an new employee at 'Abstergo Entertainment'. You are sent into the animus to retrieve the best and most exciting parts of Edward's life. Unlike Assassin's Creed 3, where you were Desmond Miles sent into the animus to save the world. You are sent into a carribean world where you sail your ship the 'Jackdaw' with your crew and you meet some of the most famous pirates like Blackbeard. 

There are many new features that weren't in previous games. For example, eagle visions now locks on to targets, free aim, new weapons and so on. One feature that was loved by many in AC3 was sailing, with the game including pirates, there is sailing in AC4.

Single player: 
What I love about AC4 is that it is open world, every bit on the world is textured, you can explore anywhere you want, on ground, on sea and even underwater. The upgrades are amazing, there are new swords, pistols and there are many new upgrades for your ship. You can fight enemy ships and choose to board them and steal there cargo or sink them to the bottem of the ocean. You go to islands and do assassination contacts, find treasure (Using treasure maps), Dive underwater and search old ship wrecks, take down forts and then they are yours, no one else (The forts fire at enemy ships) It is your world. You don't always have to do the missions, you do what you please.

Multiplayer:
Multiplayer is pretty much the same as AC3. Besides the Game Lab, new maps and the new game modes. Players can now modify the game modes in the Game Lab.

Wrap Up:
So one word for this game: awesome! If you have $60 and nothing to spend it on, buy Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, trust me, you won't be disappointed, it's one of the best.
