Graphics are amazing, combat is really fun. This a true remake to one of the greatest games.

Remember 13 years ago sailing the high seas with your pirate mateys as they sing shanties. With nothing but your wits and grit making a name for yourself and stealing cargo with the jackdaw and your crew. Well you can once again revisit those memories with this nostalgic love letter to black flag. It has been a pleasure playing this game I have sank several hours along with ships into this game. A must buy.

Great game it looks amazing on the Ps5 pro lots of action great graphics and gameplay

Wow this game brought me back to the good days of being an Assassin! 10/10

Been a while hasn't it? Ubisoft releases their best game in years by going back to arguably their best Assassin's Creed game. Game looks great, sounds and music are still fantastic with new shanties to listen to as well. On foot combat is a little more modernized but still has some jank but nothing that really gets in the way. Enemy AI can still be braindead though as they all wander to that whistling bush to meet their end. Naval combat has been tweaked a little though nothing too much though the legendary ships at the coners of the map feel a bit overtuned with how quickly they can destroy even a maxed out Jackdaw. Glitches aren't uncommon though I have only encountered just a couple. Ever see a ship go mach 2 and ram another so hard it's left spinning? You're no longer tied to playing some of the main game and then being forced backnto the modern story, that is completely optional now so you can spend tour entire time living the life of a pirate. Despite some usual Ubisoft glitches and whatnot the core game is just as fun as it was over 10 years ago. Presentation is just as good and you'll get lost upgrading your ship, yourself, and hunting down those treasure map pieces. You'll take down multiple ships in a single battle, dive under the sea while avoiding sharks or harpooning great white sharks topside in revenge. I'm still working through the game but I'm reminded why Black Flag is still my favorite pirate game ever released.

It’s been 13 years since the original release and the game is the classic, “exactly how I remember it!” Graphics are stunning, combat is different but still well handled and it keeps the execution animations. What they added doesn’t detract from the original story at all, they are more a “take it or leave it” situation.

this is what a remake should be, great gameplay, and probably the best looking game on Playstation 5 pro at the moment

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a technical showcase on PS5 Pro. This full remake (rebuilt in the latest Anvil engine) of the 2013 classic turns the Caribbean into a stunning, modern playground, and the PS5 Pro version elevates it further with smart use of the extra hardware. Extended ray tracing (Ray-Traced Global Illumination + Ray-Traced Specular Reflections) runs across all modes—Performance (60 fps), Balanced (40 fps), and Fidelity (30 fps)—delivering richer lighting, wet surfaces, metal, and ocean spray that feel alive. Base PS5 gets more limited RT in Performance mode; Pro keeps the full suite without compromise.  PSSR 2 upscaling produces a sharp, clean 2160p image with less of the usual gap between performance and fidelity targets. Strand-based hair simulation is a standout: Edward gets it in every mode, nearby crowds benefit in Fidelity, and cinematics apply it broadly. Combined with DualSense haptics, HDR, Dolby Atmos, and the overall fidelity boost, sailing, boarding, and freerunning feel more immersive than ever. If you own a PS5 Pro and loved the original’s open-sea pirate fantasy, this is the definitive way to experience it—visually polished, performance-flexible, and a clear technical upgrade that makes the remake shine.

I’m still new in the game but really starting to get into it. From what I can see there is going to be endless time to play openly. The graphics are incredible. The storyline is great so far. Plenty of challenges to work through. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

This game actually returns to form, and shows the audience they can still get down. For returning players, there's a lot to love about this classic game. And for new players, it definitely refines the experience of what we all call a video game. With about 50 hours of gameplay available, you can get lost in this world. It's a great experience for anybody who enjoys the pirate fantasy genre.

This game did the original so much justice and then some. The graphics look as good as any new game being releases today. The open world keeps pulling you in. You plan to go to bed and you end up loosing yourself in the game and staying up hours later than you had planned! Adventures on the Jackdaw are se one to none.

Game is awesome with they’re all a few glitches in the game. But not enough to keep me from playing it. It’s been so long since the original came out. It’s like a brand new game and it is awesome.

Always wanted to play this game and Im glad I waited for this remaster. Looks and runs amazing on PS5 Pro and is near the class of a next generation game. Really enjoying sailing the high seas of the west indies in 4K!

Looked not interesting at first when i assumed i was not going to get the game and i decided to bite the bullet on this game and best thing ive done super adventurous game and bring out the inner pirate in you

The gane looks amazing runs really good my main con is the combat. Its different from the original closer to the new assassins creed combat. Other than that its a amazing remake

The game is really good. Finally Ubisoft remembered the roots of the series. And most importantly I was skeptical of the delivery but bestbuy delivered it to me exactly on the launch date. I have no complaints on any point, be it the product or delivery.

grew up playing the OG version and when i was younger it looked so good but when i tried to play recently, it did look aged. this fixes all the visual issueas i had and gives me so much nostalgia playing

I have played the original a million times, will do the same with this one! Upgraded graphics and great extra footage and gameplay

This was one of my favorite games from the previous generation so as much as I'm not typically buying these remasters, this one made my list. Happy to say that it does not disappoint and the changes that were made are mostly welcome. I do wish you had more control over the camera but it has been fun spending time on the Jackdaw again!
