What Should I Play Now?

Assassin’s Creed® IV Black Flag™

Image: Steam / Ubisoft Montreal

  • Pirates
  • Open world
  • Action

Edward Kenway, a privateer turned pirate, captains the Jackdaw across the Caribbean: you upgrade the ship, board galleons, dive to wrecks and hunt, and on land you assassinate Templars in Havana, Kingston or Nassau with the hidden blade.

Why play it now

When you fancy sailing and plundering: the main story runs to about 20 hours, with dozens of islands for detours.

Who it's for

For anyone after a pirate fantasy: Blackbeard, naval battles and a crew that sings sea shanties.

When not to pick it

If you hate the heavily criticised tailing missions or having to use Ubisoft's launcher.
