The graphics are good though, not substantially more detailed than the Xbox 360 version we’ve also played but without a hint of slowdown or texture blurring. You’re cast as a sort of play tester at Abstergo Entertainment, sifting through Desmond Miles’ ancestral memories and trying to find clues as to the real world location of a magical MacGuffin.Īssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (PS4) – taking on a fort requires a heavily upgraded ship The series’ much criticised present day sections have been significantly cut back, and transformed into first person exploration sequences with an unexpected line in self-deprecating humour. You play as Edward Kenway, a freewheeling pirate who (very) slowly gets dragged into the eternal battle between Assassins and Templars. What you are is the grandfather of Connor from Assassin’s Creed III, with the game set during the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean – encompassing three large cities and a massive game world featuring multiple islands. The conspiracy storyline is left very much in the background for the majority of the game and for most of the story’s length you’re not even a proper Assassin. Despite being a numbered sequel, for much of your time in Black Flag you’d barely realise it was an Assassin’s Creed game.
