So, yeah, for a game called вЂAssassinвЂ™s CreedвЂ™ thereвЂ™s very little actual assassination. Made me feel warm and cosy, a dark glimpse into my own psyche that IвЂ™ll ignore for now. Tellingly, I only recall one assassination mission, near the end, which captures the creative magic that made AC2 such a runaway success. ItвЂ™s a stark contrast to GTA 5вЂ™s smart, original mission design, and something that needs examining before the next game. Tailing targets, eavesdropping on conversations, even following ships in the Jackdaw-theyвЂ™re great the first few times you do them, but Black Flag just repeats the same mission types over and over. Sadly, the game does fall apart during some of the main missions, which rely too heavily on repetition of systems that have barely evolved since the original game. Even the shark / whale hunting is feels different and satisfying every time you climb into the JackdawвЂ™s fishing boat.

While grabbing all the Animus shards is a teeth-grinding exercise in compulsive вЂstuff collectionвЂ™, the Assassin contracts and Templar hunts offer refreshingly creative breaks from the core story.

Side missions themselves are a mixed bags of quality. Oh, have you stopped singing? I didnвЂ™t tell you to stop did I? No. I feel a definite sense of serenity as I chop across the ocean with my crew singing sea shanties, and pointing out areas of interest. Again, though, because the world is such a pleasant, yet unpredictable place to be thanks to random weather changes, getting to these collectables is half the fun. Most of the other collectables just appear on your map, which means that finding them requires time, rather than actual skill or smarts.

So, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions are technically fantastic-they push the respective hardware to their limits. ThereвЂ™s a loss of vibrancy in the textures, so PS3вЂ™s lush jungles and azure seas arenвЂ™t quite as deep and colourful, and the environments donвЂ™t feel as alive because the detailed foliage effects are exclusive to next-gen. On current-gen the game looks beautiful, and even the amazing wave effects are comparable across formats. I played through AC4 on PS4, but had a chance to try the final PS3/360 versions. DonвЂ™t enjoy being a pirate? GTFO, land-lubber. TheyвЂ™re all a welcome change from the dour streets of AC3вЂ™s Boston and New York. Kingston is typical colonial era British. Each city area has a distinct feel-Havana is a maze of very Spanish, terracotta-roof houses, while Nassau is a more randomly-planned, ramshackle pirate town. ThereвЂ™s so much to do here-the main story lasts around 20 hours, and side-quests easily occupy another 20-so itвЂ™s essential that you enjoy hopping between the gameвЂ™s islands and exploring its cities. The vibrancy of the world is key to Black FlagвЂ™s appeal. The next-gen devil is in the superb detail, rather than visual wow moments. On land, lush foliage shuffles as you wade through, and trees sway naturally in high-winds. (At this point, please note how difficult it was for me to write a вЂsalty seamenвЂ™ joke right here. The sea in particular, looks spectacular especially when fierce storms send huge swells to buffet your ship, the Jackdaw, and the spray lashes your men who busy themselves on deck.

And while it isnвЂ™t a next-gen game that offers a huge visual upgrade from PS3 and 360, itвЂ™s a beautiful place to explore. It dwarfs GTA 5вЂ™s play area and offers vibrant, colourful views from every synchronisation point. The gameвЂ™s virtual Caribbean is enormous, yet very detailed. However, with Black Flag the joy is in the journey, not the destination The Observatory that your virtual contemporaries bang-on about feels little more than a Macguffin.
