Raise the Black Flag

Recently, I have finally decided to purchase Assassin's Creed Black Flag. It took me a while to buy it because I wasn't impressed with Assassin's Creed 3; it took too long to get into the initial story line, and I was quite bored with it. Assassins Creed 3 ended up being a sleeper game when I was willing to put the time and effort into playing it. Which was really unfortunate because I was in love with Ubisoft's series.

However, I'm quite impressed with how they have created Black Flag. The graphics are unreal, reaction times are seamless, touchy enemies (much more fun and challenging) and a new witty character - Edward.

The story line, is where my heart really lies. It definitely reminds me of Assassin's Creed 2 when Ezio was first introduced as a stylish, flirty roguish character. Edward is very much like that; flirty, fun, and definitely attractive. I also like how he falls into the roll of Assassin from pirate, and his ability to change the tide of the conversation in his favor. I also definitely love how big the map is. It seems almost like the Skyrim map - endless. I do also enjoy the difference in location. It's a nice break from Europe and a reminder of what I wish Canada's weather would be like all year round.

The gameplay is like Revelations, a lot of free roam killing and assassinating. A lot of nice little side missions and contracts, on your own time missions and a lot of fun new ways to kill people. Plus the new added customization of your very own pirate ship! (I put a Mermaid on mine, just saying).

Definitely much happier with this game, and really excited for Assassins Creed Unity. Ubisoft has won my love back; that's for sure.
