Free-running amid the rigging for example, or the cut-and-thrust of close combat when boarding. It's blood-stirring stuff and it all fits in perfectly with the mechanics and feel of previous Assassin's Creed games. Attacking it with your cannons, you bring your ship alongside and climb your rigging, jumping from one ship to the other you start to wreak havoc from above the swirling melee, before taking out the captain and claiming the vessel. Once out in open waters you can use your spyglass to spot a merchant vessel to plunder (presuming that defending Galleons aren't too close). The navigable area is huge, centred around Cuba, and takes about 30mins to navigate across. Sailing is dumbed down, you pretty much just point your ship and go, speeding up and slowing down is like changing gears in a car, with more or less sail put up to your requirements. You can run across the rooftops of a fishing village, leap down onto your boat, the Jackdaw, and whisk her out of harbour.
Ubisoft has come a long way since the largely-linear ship sections in the last outing with the new game engine letting you freely explore land and sea with little loading to be seen - only when starting main story missions or arriving at one of the game's larger ports. It's the early 1700s and Spain and England have called a truce to their long war, leaving many skilled privateers in the West Indies without respectable employment and that means piracy on the high seas.Īssassin's Creed 4: Black Flag adds seamless naval gameplay to the long-running series. The undisputed historical-heavyweight of action games is back, and this time we're setting sail to the Golden Age of Piracy.
