Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag

After Assassin’s Creed 3 failed to set expectations on fire, Ubisoft had to redeem itself with Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag. Not only did it offer a more interesting hero in Edward Kenway but the world was bustling with all sorts of possibilities like sunken treasure, hidden ruins, crazy ship battles and more vibrant fortress assaults. The standard Assassin’s Creed gameplay was intact but the world felt more realized with the ship providing an excellent new core mechanic.
