Assassin’s Creed® IV Black Flag™

Was a good game. Shame Ubisoft hates us all and wants to make our lives miserable

buy game, install game, hit play on game in steam where i bought game. ubisoft launcher opens. says i have to create an account to play game i bought on steam. already have a ubisoft account so i use the name/password. log in failed. tried to reset password, no email found. try to create a new account. get "there was an error trying to create your account". give up, get refund. f standalone launchers.

Stop making your garbage launcher mandatory to play your titles on Steam. You couldn't even ship a working version of it. For anyone struggling to run this on Linux- without Lutris/Protontricks: (on receiving the "Ubisoft Launcher not installed" error, perform these steps) 1. Download the latest Ubisoft Connect Installer executable from their website. 2. In Steam, top left menu, Games -> Add a non-steam game to my library... 3. Click "Browse..." and navigate to the folder containing the downloaded .exe. (If your browser's downloads are set to default, /home/username/Downloads/ ) 4. Select the UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe and click ok. 5. Right click the newly added non-steam game from your library, named "UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe" by default, and select "Properties" 6. In left pane, "Compatibility", select the checkbox and select your version of Proton and close out of the dialog. 7. Launch the "UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe" game from Steam by hitting Play and go through the entire install process with the defaults. At the last step, do not launch UbisoftConnect yet. Uncheck and close it. 8. Locate the newly installed UbisoftConnect.exe. You can use a file search (i use Catfish on Mint) to locate the most recently modified UbisoftConnect.exe . By default, my path was: /home/username/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/2729711752/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/ note: the folder "2729711752" might vary, but it should by another equally long number in that directory. 9. Make sure the UbisoftConnect.exe is present, and copy the path. 10. Now right click on Black Flag in your library and select Properties. 11. Paste the copied path into the launch options and then match it to this exact syntax (without the quotation marks) : " PROTON_REMOTE_DEBUG_CMD="/home/username/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/2729711752/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Ubisoft/Ubisoft Game Launcher/UbisoftConnect.exe" uplay://launch/*gameID*/0 " Then close the Properties dialog. 11a. The above command makes the Ubisoft launcher open in the same "container / instance" as Black Flag so that it is detected by the game. 12. Right click on Black Flag in your library, Manage -> CD keys. Click on it to copy it to clipboard. 13. Click "Play" on Black Flag, and wait for the Ubisoft launcher to pop-up. If your launch options worked, you should no longer get the error here. 14. If prompted to login to Ubisoft, do so. You should be prompted to enter your Black Flag CD key. Paste it from Clipboard. 15. Ubisoft Launcher will add it to your Ubisoft library and finally launch your game. 16(optional). Remove the "UbisoftConnectInstaller.exe" non-steam game from your library. These steps might (not) work on Steam Deck, might (not) work for AC2 and other titles, or might vary depending on your distro. Of all the solutions google coughed up, nothing worked for me, so I had to hack this together from experience. Hope this saves somebody the frustration.

Doesnt work. You have to change the properties of the game just to get it to launch. Not to mention that they finally added achievements how many years after it came on steam? ALSO they added the multiplayer achievements which makes this game virtually impossible to 100% if youre into that.

I am reviewing Ubisoft's new policy about deleting games that have been delisted. I will not. I will not buy another Ubisoft game until this policy is droppped.

This was my second AC game after Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and honestly, I don’t get why so many people call this a masterpiece. It’s just my opinion, but for me, it was a decent and fun game — not masterpiece. What I liked: Naval Combat is easily the best part of the game. Super fun and addictive. I never got tired of chasing down and blasting ships. Swordplay was really smooth, actually felt better than AC Shadows in terms of combat flow. Hunting Whales and Sharks was fun and enjoyable. It has a Huge Map but i am not a big fan of exploration , but I can see why people love the open-world . The random songs your crew sings while sailing was great. I Loved them. It a vibe. What I found decent or underwhelming: Storytelling was okish. It starts off okay, gets better by the end, but didn’t blow me away. I expected more after hearing all the praise. Also… they killed Thatch way too early , he was a great character. Side Quests are mostly just assassination contracts. Felt repetitive just go there, kill this guy, get paid. Tailing Missions I hate them. More ship types or combat options would've been great. Even though the story didn’t fully live up to the hype (for me), the gameplay alone makes it worth playing. If you enjoy naval battles and pirate-style action, this is the one. There aren't many pirates based game to play . Very limited games like Sea of Theives and Skull and bone. For me its 8/10

Unplayable, doesnt work no matter what, launched several times, cleared cache, reinstall apps and the game, still nothing, freezes, bugs, crashes, and nothing. I tried.

I downloaded this game on sale for $11. My issue isnt with the game but with Ubisoft. As you can see I've played 3.1 hrs of this game and loved it. Now, Ubisoft isnt allowing me to play the game because I bought it on steam, linked the game code to my Ubisoft account but now it's telling me my code is already in use. So...thank you Ubisoft, as now I cant return the game because I've played over 2 hours of it and I cant play the game because your authenticator changed it's mind and now it's allowing me to play it and see it as my game anymore.

[h3]Simply the best Assassin's creed game[/h3] Fun and action packed, this pirate themed game has no real equivalent. It has loads of content, great sea shanties, enjoyable nautical missions... I mean, if you can excuse the few modern era scenes that take place every so often, this is an amazing pirate themed game. One of my all time favorites, yaaar !

The best Assassins creed game ever for me, and it's not even close. However, the Kenway's Fleet option simply doesn't work in the PC version. Ubisoft is aware of the issue and refuses to fix it. Until it's fixed, I can never recommend a broken game

I really love it when this game wipes my saves every time I reinstall it. 10/10 , Also love having to connect to Uplay despite buying the game on STEAM (NOT UBISOFT STORE). Also , NO CLOUD SAVES IN 2025???!!??

I like this game. But Ubisoft has updated their EULA to state that if our ubisoft accounts get banned, the game is no longer supports, or just because they say so, that we will lose access to the game and we must go as far as DESTROYING PHYSICAL COPPIES. This is the biggest piss baby behavior ever. Join Piratesoftware, and kick rocks Ubisoft.

Modern day story line is boring, but other than that its an amazing game. Hopefully they wont ruin it with the remake.

I used to really enjoy this game. One day I suddenly couldn't anymore because something completely fucked the launch sequence. I can't get it to run on Steam, Ubisoft Connect, or even through high-seas repacks. It appears to be a barely known issue as I can't find any working fixes online. Even though the game itself is good, I can't recommend anyone buy this if it's broken in all aspects that you can't launch it with or without DRM.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – Review Release Date: October 29, 2013 Platforms: PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PC, Wii U, Nintendo Switch (later) Developer: Ubisoft Montreal Genre: Action-Adventure, Open-World 🏴‍☠️ Overview Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag marks a significant shift in tone and gameplay for the series. Stepping away from the cities and rooftops of Europe, this entry plunges players into the sun-drenched Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy. You take on the role of Edward Kenway, a brash privateer-turned-pirate and grandfather of Assassin’s Creed III’s protagonist. ⭐ What It Does Well 1. Naval Gameplay The standout feature. Controlling the Jackdaw (your ship) feels intuitive, engaging, and thrilling. Naval combat is a major component: cannon volleys, boarding enemy ships, and even deep-sea diving missions keep things fresh. 2. Open World Exploration A massive, beautiful Caribbean world filled with islands, hidden coves, forts, and towns. Hunting, treasure maps, sea shanties, and underwater ruins offer hours of content. 3. Pirate Fantasy Fulfilled This game nails the pirate aesthetic: sea shanties, bar fights, rum, looting, and a gritty anti-hero protagonist. Edward Kenway is more rogue than assassin, which makes him a unique and compelling lead. 4. Visuals & Atmosphere For a 2013 game, the water physics, weather effects, and tropical lighting still hold up well. The immersive sound design and period-appropriate music further sell the pirate theme. ❌ Where It Falls Short 1. Assassin Storyline Is Weak The traditional Assassin vs. Templar plot feels tacked on. Edward doesn’t even care about the Assassin Brotherhood for most of the game. 2. Repetitive Side Missions Some open-world activities (like collecting fragments or escort missions) feel like padding. Town-based missions don’t feel as refined as naval content. 3. Modern Day Segments These first-person, Abstergo office moments are slow and lack meaningful gameplay. They feel more like a meta-commentary on Ubisoft itself than a meaningful continuation of the AC lore. 🔥 Verdict Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is one of the most beloved entries in the franchise for good reason. It may stray from the series’ roots, but its bold dive into pirate life pays off with a richly rewarding world and superb naval mechanics. Even if you’ve never played an Assassin’s Creed game, this one stands strong on its own. Rating: ★★★★½ (4.5/5)

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag took me completely by surprise. As someone who’s never really been into pirate lore or swashbuckling adventures, I wasn’t expecting much going in. But here I am, ready to hand it a solid 9/10. The gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying — sailing the open seas, hunting down ships, and upgrading your ship felt like a perfect rhythm that kept me hooked. What really stood out was the balance of challenge; I’m not the type to enjoy punishing difficulty, and Black Flag nails that sweet spot where it’s engaging without ever feeling frustrating. Plus, the story kept moving at a good pace, never dragging or getting lost in the vastness of the world. If you’re on the fence about pirate games or worried about getting stuck on tough sections, this one’s worth diving into. It’s a rare gem that manages to be both accessible and deeply rewarding.

It needs the Ubisoft game launcher, which is abandon-ware, so I'm currently unable to play it because screw me I guess?

by far the best Assassin's Creed game overall. Personally, the story was a little dull, didn't really enjoy it. But the post story gameplay is PEAK, you quite literally can't get bored from the amount of stuff you can do. I sometimes like to say that the story is just an introduction to the game from the sheer amount of stuff there is to do. so story mode: 6/10 kinda slow, but memorable characters. post story game: 10/10 best pirate game I've ever played, and pretty dang close to being the best game I've ever played. Overall: 9.5/10.

Playing this game, especially after experiencing only "modern" (post Origins) AC titles makes you wonder, how could Ubisoft "fumble" the AC franchise, when all the way back in 2013 they had almost everything figured out. I bought this game last minute during Steam summer sale and in a span of 2 weeks I have spend almost 40 hours playing it. It rarely happens, that I am so invested into a game, but it really is THAT GOOD. Let me explain. The story really gets you invested. I care about the protagonist, as well as the other characters and their actions. The fact, that Edward isn't an Assassin from the start (or does not become one within first 5 minutes of gameplay), but instead crashes sideways into the whole Assassin-Templar conflict and finds his own way really makes the story interesting (perhaps unpredictable) and gives him a character development, that we as a players can witness first hand. The quests themselves are linear, unlike the "RPG" style they decided to go with in the newer installments of the AC franchise. And, (at least in my opinion) it really goes to show, that well written linear story is far better then half-baked RPG one, where the dialogue choices do little to nothing. Don't get me wrong, I love well crafted RPG's with story decisions, that have lasting consequences, but so do I like games with linear stories, where I don't get to make choices, but I am there for a ride. The world itself is, in my opinion, as big as it needs to be. You have a wast ocean to sail, engage ships in and discover new locations. The locations themselves are often restricted to just a small portions of a land they are part of. This however does not make the map feel small, instead "smaller" location size motivated me to explore them in their entirety the first time I visited them and thus complete the map exploration to a 100%. This as well solved (or rather did not create) a problem of a "dead" locations, that are not used for anything meaningful. The sea combat is superior to anything I have seen in a later(/other) games. It is really fun and (as many reviews before me mentioned) it kind of discourages you from using fast travel, because it is fun to sink a few ships on a way. The only problem I have encountered is that you are REALLY OP pretty early into the game. You can basically sink entire fleet of The Royal Navy without a scratch. I got used to the controls fairly quickly, however they do feel a bit more "sticky" as well as the animations themselves, which can lead to minor frustrations. Simply put, they do feel like an "older version" of the newer, more refined ones form later games (surprising, I know). As far as the performance is concerned, I have played this game on default (High) settings and despite playing on Linux I had stable 60 FPS, that the game is sadly frame-capped to. Only thing I have to criticize are the notorious Ubisoft online services. The Ubisoft connect as well as Ubisoft overlay work fine, but stuff like Kenway's fleet, which is a mini-game within SP that is mandatory for a 100% simply does not load. I have not tried MP yet, and I don't know if I will, but it does kinda disappoint me that there are ~10 achievements locked behind MP and your friend actively playing the game with you. It crushed my dreams of 100%ting this game, so if this matters to you, be aware. Aside from the minor technical shenanigans, that are sadly to be expected from an Ubisoft title, I can only recommend this game. It is really fun to play and it does make you understand, why are OG Assassin's Creed fans so dissatisfied with the modern titles. If you never played other AC games before, don't worry. You don't really have to play them to understand and enjoy this one and in fact, it is a really good place to start. Though if you do have prior knowledge about the lore it does enhance the additional lore that you obtain from this game, especially in the "present day" portions of the game. 10/10 definitely worth the money I paid for it, would buy again

Still has better ship warfare and gameplay than Skull and Bones

Cant play without ubisofts connect bullshit. cant log into connect bullshit. attempts to reach customer service have been less successful than slamming my d*ck between 2 bricks.

at one point i could play the game. been in a battle with ubisoft for years at this point over a key they insist isn't tied to my account despite purchasing it from steam (approved vendor), and having literal game time in the game. when asked to supply proof of purchase ubisoft does not let you submit pictures to their website (how else is a customer supposed to provide proof of purchase). Just pirate the game, don't give any money to this company.

The best AC game and a good port HOWEVER Ubisoft refuses the fix the UbisoftConnect logging you out every time you close the game issue. It deleted my save after 35 hours as well. Absolute joke.

Assassins Creed IV Is Frustratingly good and what I mean by that is, its such a mix bag, I genuinely can't wait for the remake to come for my issues for the game Pros: +Graphics still hold up to this date +The ship while being an improvement of Assassins Creed III its still fun +Story gets better in middle and end of the game +Soundtrack is great all around and same goes for the sea shanties +Characters are great and shine in the Middle and endgame of AC4 Cons: -The PC version is horrible and from any Ubisoft game from 2010-2018 the PC porting games were horrible and this is no exception, Make sure to turn off CPU 0 for any ubisoft games from that point, I promise you, You will have a better experience with the 60 FPS cap and game files for 1440p/4K to set what you want to config to. -The story was rough in the beginning of the game and Astrigo sections are boring. -This game is glitchy still, 60% of the time I experience Edward flying, going under the map and sometimes only happen to me 3 times was hard crashes. -Some story segments are a hit and a miss -Doing a stealth mission with the ship was genuinely terrible -In my opinion the combat was such a mix bag -Ship battles are fun when you are doing 1v1 or doing the man of war fight, but if you are trying to get the main objective done and you have to defeat the main ship but there are 3 other ships to attack you while you try to get the main mission done. That was one of the most annoying things I have to deal with in Assassins Creed IV -(PC version only) I did not get the Sequence 2 achievements I got the rest of the sequences but 2 which was dumb -Screw Ubisoft Club Launcher or any 3rd party launcher Overall: I want to clarify, I don't hate black flag by all means. It was fun for the most part, I would argue that Assassins Creed 1- Origins were the good assassins creed games in my honest opinion before the more of the downfall in recent years. I say get this on a sale (It is on sale on the steam summer sale as we speak of this review for 12$) but do not get this game for its asking price of 40$, it is not worth that price. Overal: 6/10 PC Port: 5/10

“For years I've been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a tinker’s curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am... with riches and reputation... feeling no wiser than when I left home. And when I turn around and look at the course I've run... there's not a man or woman that I love left standing beside me.” This confession from Edward Kenway perfectly captures the heart of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, a game that feels like the series at its boldest. It is a seamless blend of open world exploration, thrilling naval combat, and one of the most personal character arcs in the franchise. The soundtrack enhances this experience, with rousing tracks like “The High Seas” capturing the golden age of piracy, and haunting pieces like “In This World or the One Below” reflecting the emotional weight of Edward’s journey. What makes this game stand out isn’t just the freedom or spectacle, but how Edward’s story is so well integrated into the core Assassin fantasy. He starts selfish and blind to the larger conflict between Assassins and Templars, driven by greed and recklessness. Through betrayal, loss, and the deaths of those closest to him, Edward is forced to confront the consequences of his actions and grow beyond his initial selfishness. Over time, he earns his place in the Brotherhood by choice, not destiny. It’s a story about purpose, identity, redemption, and what we leave behind, all set in one of the most emotionally grounded worlds in the series.

In my opinion, Ubisoft peaked at this game, and unless they manage to turn the big ship that is Ubisoft, they won't be making games as cool as this one.

The game itself is fantastic. Awesome pirate game with some weird Assassin-y branding attached. The negative review is that I shouldn't have to do an authentication rain dance EVERY time I open the game. I bought this game on Steam, the only login I should have to do is to Steam. If you need to do something with Ubisoft Connect in the background it's whatever; don't involve me. It sounds like a small thing but it's just so annoying I can't get over it. Also while I'm here, can we agree that any game Dev who puts a big "Any unsaved progress will be lost" warning on the quit button without providing any kind of manual save functionality needs a good slap?

Ubisoft sleeping on gold here. The best of the AC games, and for good reason. Amazing ship combat mechanics, fun side missions, engaging main story, good side characters. Really, the ship battles are where it's at and it never really feels repetitive. Would be cool to see a full on fleet battle in a future game but I'm happy where it is.

By far my favorite AC game in the franchise and I've played them all from day one. However, I don't know if it is ubisoft or steam, but this game is absolutely unplayable on steam. The lag is awful, an hour or more to log in, then you have to disconnect from the internet to have any chance at all to play and it still is likely to lag to the point that you give up after a few minutes. AC4 is literally the only reason I keep my xbox at all.

This game has a good story with well written characters and fun game play. And you should buy it if the story and gameplay look interesting to you. So why do I not recommend it? Parts of the single player do not work anymore because Ubisoft decided to shut down the server. The part that doesn’t work anymore is called Kenway’s Fleet I looked up a video of it and I wouldn’t care that much about missing out on what looks like a bit of a mini game but the problem is that there is contend gated behind it that is now no longer accessible. What are you looked out of? A storage upgrade for your ship so you can’t fully upgrade it. A hunt for a white whale which you need for a cosmetic outfit for your character. Those two are the big ones for me, because they directly affect gameplay or are missing gameplay, the rest are cosmetic options for your ship. There might be more things missing those are just the ones I noticed. If you like to 100% your games or go for all achievements you can no longer do this with Black Flag. There appears to be mod on Nexus to fix this issue but I couldn’t get it work. As I’m writing this the server has been down for about 1 year so if you are planning to purchase and care about the mentioned issues look up if it has been fixed. Personally, I doubt it because Ubisoft doesn’t seem to care. Don’t get me wrong you can still finish the story and it is a great game overall but I think it deserves a bit of a disclaimer.

Probably one of the greatest titles in the AC series. There are certain games that stand out for innovative design and game mechanics and this is definitely one of them. I am writing this review in 2025, but I felt this way when I played on console at launch. I heard a rumor that they are remaking this game and if that is true, I will be pre ordering it without hesitation. Seeing this game in a modern engine and in 4k will make a lot of us that played this VERY happy. So, If you missed this title when it launched years ago, you should definitely pick it up. ****

The game has good sailing and sea combat mechanics but I'm not a fan of the assassin's Creed franchise. The game is too easy and all moves are automatic you just spam the attack button and you win basically. I'm comparing the sea battles with the old game Pirates of the Caribbean and AC is too simple and lacks the sea battle depth that Pirates had, like boarding and taking over different ships to add to the fleet. Although Pirates had a lot of bugs, taking the best from Pirates and the best from AC would have been great. AC becomes boring very fast. The game leads you on a certain path too much and there are too little to be done in between that is exciting. Upgrading the ship is also too easy. It's boring to have the same ship that you can manage to upgrade all too fast without much grinding needed. The shops have no interesting weapon and armor choices that matter either. I want a man-o-war fleet to wreak havoc at sea!

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is hands down one of the best entries in the AC series — and one of the most fun open-world games I've ever played. You don't just play a pirate, you live as one. Sailing the Caribbean as Edward Kenway, raiding ships, upgrading your own vessel (the Jackdaw), diving for treasure, and exploring lush islands feels incredibly immersive. The naval combat is top-notch and surprisingly strategic. The freedom to explore the world at your own pace is what truly sets this game apart. The story is compelling with a charismatic main character, and the soundtrack? Absolute perfection. Every time your crew sings sea shanties while sailing into the sunset, it feels like pure adventure. Even if you’ve never played another AC game, Black Flag is a fantastic standalone experience. It’s a pirate fantasy brought to life. Pros: ✅ Epic naval battles ✅ Massive open world full of secrets ✅ Great characters and story ✅ Sea shanties you’ll be humming for days ✅ Gorgeous visuals, even years later If you’ve ever dreamed of being a pirate, this is the game for you. 🦜⚓ Rating: 10/10 - Sail into greatness!

Excellent game. Really expands on the story and gameplay of the previous entires.

Apparently people dislike this game since it diverges from the roots of the originals to a somewhat extreme degree, but I loved this game. Maybe it is not indicative of the franchise at large, but it is individually still a great game that I would recommend.

De mis AC favoritos, en cuestion de gameplay es mi top 3 La verdad el mejor aspecto es el de combate naval, especialmente cuando mejoras tu barco al maximo nivel y eres basicamente indestructible El combate igual, bastante intenso pero puedes abusar de el para acabar con varios enemigos a la vez Recomendado desactivar por completo las opciones PhysX, ya sean de Nvidia o AMD, ya que son controladores viejos y ya no tienen soporte

Booted this game up in the morning and shortly after the sun went down, 10/10 would lose an entire day again

สนุกมากๆครับ จากเด็กป.5ในวันนั้นสู่สัยทำงานที่มีตังค์ซื้อเกมแท้ในวันนี้ ล่องเรือตอนแรกๆอาจจะยังไม่ชินปุ่ม แต่ถ้าเป็นเเล้วบอกเลยว่าเนื้อเรื่องไม่เดินครับ เเวะยิงเรือชาวบ้านอย่างเดียว5555 ใครเป็นแฟนเกมซีรีส์นี้ไม่ควรพลาดครับ

60fps, no widescreen, cant skip cutscenes, horrible menue, ubisoft launcher, horrible none assassin matrix story company shit with french monologue enjoyer the actual game still pretty good, melee combats missing a little bit but everything is fun, no uneeded grind or forced reused content

The game-play is great for what it is, but the story makes no sense. If you want piracy with lore, this is the game for you.

Ubisoft put a pirate coat of paint on the assassin's creed formula and people to this day still act like its somehow the best entry in the franchise. Objectively speaking, you spend 3 games with ezio and help to understand his importance to his modern day descendent compared to 1 game in which the narrative is wholey disconnected from the main character. It was never that good an a game guys, in many ways rogue did things much better than this game. The ship gameplay admittedly was cool, thats probably the only reason people like this entry after all.

I keep on coming back to this game, and I keep liking it. With the Aveline and Freedom Cry DLC in the bundle, this is definitely a great game. Loved it from the day it launched. The only thing I don't necessarily like about the game is the multiplayer and I never played it for more than maybe an hour. Sad to see you needed to play the multiplayer to get all the achievements. Otherwise, great game, love the gameplay, the visuals, the story and the characters.

One of the greatest Assassin Creed games created, find myself venturing back to this game after all these years. Definitely recommend to others as this is a game that never loses taste or interest.

such a good and classic Assassins creed game, i really wanted cloud saving feature in this game 'cuz i literally had to start a new game after reinstalling the windows, plus it has a 60 fps cap which really sucks, but overall it is one of my most fav AC game of all time.

What a game. AC4 has to be one of the best pirate games of all time, and among the finest in the Assassin's Creed franchise. It is an improved version of AC3 and the brutal and OP combat style allows for even a 1v20 scenario, which is my preferred play style as opposed to a stealth-based approach. As someone who did not like the naval combat mechanic in AC3, Black Flag has somehow made me enjoy it, especially since you can board, raid, and take over as many ships as you want. The only downside to this game is the fact that there are simply too many tailing missions which can get frustrating, but they were overshadowed by all the positives. Especially for a 2013 game, it is far ahead of its time. 9/10 overall.

Incredible game. Before, pirates were good. Now, pirates are incredible. This game makes me wanna visit Nassau and the Bahamas. Combat brutality feels superb, ship combat feels massive, story is engaging and the historical accuracy is astoundingly good. The music and atmosphere of this game are beyond extraordinary. Sailing across the Atlantic in the starry night, singing sea shanties and whilst keeping a look-out for Spanish ships to rob is just a perfect vibe.

Yeah, sure. It's an Assassin's Creed game, so you probably know what you're getting into. What's fun is the piracy in this one, although that gets pretty repetitive. AC games of the older generation made really poor use of both parkour and stealth, so it's best played as an action game where nothing really matters. It's much more fun that way.

This game is the best of all ac games this is 10 out of 10 music is really great everything about this caribbean the boats ships i mean everything it's all cluster clear storyline really good could relate from this you know who can't be not poor man and then always wanted to be rich you know that's edward can we it's always edward kenways the best in the franchise if it's not why would i bought it again for steam deck performances team dicks 10 out of 10 top notch all good yes i bought this just for the steam deck so i can play this anywhere i could go yes i play this a lot of time man it's one of my collection now highly recommend it man

Most probably the best game I have every play.. Overall! If you haven't played, give it a try.
