They’re brought to life with interesting characters and true to period architecture. Each city be it Nassau, Kingston or Havana has a unique feel and its own distinct look. As I mentioned earlier Black Flag is stunning in its presentation and is without a doubt one of the best looking titles to grace consoles this generation. Gameplay and mechanics aside both the sound and the visuals really do their part in tying everything in the game together. This reduces the challenge but oddly enough doesn’t reduce the fun factor. A key element in the game is upgrading the Jackdaw to become a powerhouse war ship but you’ll find that once you’re fully upgraded that you’re borderline unstoppable. Various challenges such as the changing weather and rogue waves really help to keep the player on their toes as well. After incapacitating your target you can scuttle up alongside and board as well which results in more loot than just sinking them and is also a hell of a lot of fun. Battle on the high seas is absolutely exhilarating and once you get accustomed to the controls remarkably satisfying as well. In more chaotic encounters with multiple enemies there were some minor issues of collision detection that I noticed but nothing to the point where I felt that it damaged my experience.īlack Flag really shines with the naval combat which makes perfect sense considering the subject material. In truth, if I had the option I’d probably try to air assassinate every single person I came across because it’s the most badass way to dispatch of somebody, well, EVER. Hand-to-hand combat is a delight as always with the familiar mix of parries, disarms, throws and stabs although in most situations I chose to implement striking from cover and operating in stealth. I really only found myself losing control when frantically chasing down a courier or a mark.
QUEST FOR INFAMY HARPOON FREE
The free running, while always fun to watch can glitch a little bit with Edward randomly jumping off rooftops to his untimely demise or repeatedly attempting to climb something he can’t but for the most part he controls well. Some of the core gameplay elements that the Assassin’s Creed franchise is best known for are certainly starting to show their wear. This game is massive in scope and while some of the aforementioned activities can get a little bit repetitive I’ve never once found myself bored. There’s obviously the assassinations, there’s hunting, naval battles, Mayan puzzles, upgrading… you get the picture. My personal favourite time waster is chasing down new shanties for your ever expanding crew of scallywags and hornswagglers to sing onboard the Jackdaw.
You can go diving for treasure while fending off sharks and if they really get bothersome you can harpoon the bilgesuckers! You can waste some time collecting animus fragments and tracking down loot chests.
QUEST FOR INFAMY HARPOON SERIES
Never in this series has there been such an abundance of things to keep you occupied.
QUEST FOR INFAMY HARPOON LICENSE
That being said they obviously stray in the name of creative license but that just makes it more engaging.īlack Flag’s true strength lies in the world available to you when you decide to waver off the main story line and explore the world that has been created. Using familiar characters based on real history adds a feeling of authenticity to the game and is something that this franchise is no stranger to.
There’s Blackbeard, Calico Jack and more and each adds their own flair to the game. Throughout Kenway’s rise to swashbuckling infamy you’ll encounter many of the pirates you’ve heard of in stories and movies.
