Connected Digital World writes: If after your potentially countless hours of exploration and piracy on Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag you still feel the need for some extra Assassins goodness Ubisoft has you covered. The Freedom Cry DLC adds a few more hours of violence and story telling following Edward Kenways temping right hand man, Adewale.

Ubisoft Montreal have crafted a world that youll never want to leave thanks to the well-designed open assassination missions, a motley crew of a cast, months of collectibles, an intriguing meta-gaming premise and a world thats never short of stunning to behold on next-gen machines. So set sail today and dont look back.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was one of my favorite games of 2013, not only because I'm a huge fan of the series in general, but because it was the best of the series yet, plus, who doesn't like pirates?
A lot of the core gameplay mechanics have been improved but admittedly, not all - in fact, some suffer. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag may not be the next step in the franchise, but it's clearly the best rounded.
