Assassin’s Creed 4 Black Flag

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag puts you in the shoes of Edward Kenway, a pirate in the 18th century as he scours the Caribbean sea in search of the mysterious Observatory that’s rumored to hold an immeasurable amount of wealth. Of course, the story goes a lot deeper than that – and it’s filled with emotional moments and memorable characters like Black Beard and James Kidd among others. The naval combat is also supremely fun, and the signature mix of stealth and action gameplay remains as fun as ever – culminating in one of the best experiences in this long-running franchise.
