Assassin’s Creed IV is one of the Playstation 4′s launch titles that adequately reflect the console’s raw power and refined finesse, and remains one of the premiere must-have games for the next-gen era. Every single moment–whether its cannon-fights across the high seas or cut-scenes–is captured in crystal clear fidelity, showcasing a new age of console gaming.
The game itself is so filled with content that gamers can lose themselves in the 18th Century Caribbean for quite some, only to find they’re not even half-way done with the main quest. There is a huge variety of side missions and alternate objectives that compliment the main quest, and the modern day sequences balance out the plundering glory of Kenway’s crew quite well.
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag propels the definitive franchise into the next generation of console gaming while also sending a fresh new wave of vitality through the series. The title’s historical back-drop is a compelling and unique period, providing a seamless blend of open-world exploration with the political-driven war between the Assassins and the Templars that has spanned centuries.
