Pirates don’t get much love in video games. Outside of the Sid Meier’s games which, face it, you didn’t play, gaming hasn’t really seen its premiere swashbuckling, pirate adventure that it has rightfully deserved for so long. Oddly enough, it’s an Assassin’s Creed game that fills that void. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag takes the pirate atmosphere and lifestyle and injects its own signature formula in hopes to give players the pirate game they’ve always dreamed of along with breathing new life into this long-running franchise.
