"As an overall package, Assassins Creed IV is the best in the series for how nearly everything has been tweaked, overhauled, and completely rethought. With one exception: the melee. In the day of Batman, Bayonetta, and a rebooted Devil May Cry, theres no excuse for this uninteresting combat. Its simplistic, unruly, and never takes more than the same recurring two-button combo. It works, but thats simply not enough compared to the attention lavished on everything else. Wonky combat aside, Assassins Creed IV is a hell of a game. Instead of building giant cities separated by little patches of open land, you have here a massive ocean peppered with islands that include small to mid-sized cities, forming a Carribben setting that oozes character. Never has a game delivered on the promise of living the life of a pirate with as well as Black Flag with its awesome production values, refined game design, and lively oceangoing hijinx."
