I have always been a fan of the Assassin's Creed franchise and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag continues that. The game builds off of one of the best parts of Assassin's Creed III, the ships. There is a large chunk of the Caribbean in the game that you can sail around and be a pirate in. You play as Edward Kenway, the grandfather to AC3's main character, Connor. The story was fun to play through and provided the opportunity to meet many famous pirates. Throughout you can see some pretty big character development for the main character and it contains one of the best AC stories in my opinion. The meta story in the present day is pretty great as well and contains what seems to be an in game version of Ubisoft as an Abstergo Game Development company. The game looks pretty good (played on 360) and is very colorful to match the Tropical setting. While most of the game was fun to play, it seemed like this one had way more tail/eavesdrop missions which are just not fun to play anymore. In addition the combat felt a little strange at times and would change targets for seemingly no reason from time to time along with freerunning feeling just as clunky in spots as before. I think this is one of the best entries in the series but I wish Ubisoft Entertainment would spend time to rework some of the main systems of the game and get them feeling fresh.
