    Vast Open Seas

    This is a great version of Assassin's Creed. Very open and plenty to explore, almost too much. The graphics are good. The only thing I don't like is the controls or gameplay. It gets really annoying when you're free running and he jumps backwards instead of the right direction.

    This game has a great open world like the previous AC games, and although I have yet to get far into the game, it is an interesting story line, and bests of all there are PIRATES! Being able to sail the ships is pretty fun, and the main character is interesting enough to make me want to keep playing.

    Perhaps me being partial to pirate themes weighs heavy on my review here, but who doesn't love sailing the open seas in an enormous world and conquering islands and looting ships? Oh did I mention this is an Assassins Creed game too!?!?! No really, aside from Unity which I avoided like the black plague (see what I did there? ;) I have been a loyal fan of the AC lineup. Although some of the features like killing innocents and grappling moves are absent there is enough new perks to make up for them, like the ship battles. If you have not tried this game yet what are you waiting for? Its only $15 or so and totally worth it!

    I enjoy pirate themed games and this is superb. High sea battles and open map towns make for hours of game play.

    I love the pirate theme but sometimes gameplay is tedious. I recommend this game if it's been awhile since you last played the AC series. Do not play AC3, AC4, and AC5 back-to-back unless you want to feel like an automaton.

    BEST Assassins Creed Game Ever

    This is simply the best Assassin's Creed game ever, simply put. You have the traditional stealth play, but you get the ship battles as well. On the PS3 version you can amass a fleet of ships and collect resources for free. However, on the PS4 version, you must pay for Playstation Plus.

    What I like about this Assassin's Creed game is that when you get bored of climbing buildings and killing people, you can go sail around on your boat and sink ships and kill people. This keeps the playing experience fresh.

    Never played an AC game before. This one is REALLY fun. I haven't gotten to far into it yet, but I'm really looking forward to the ship to ship battles.

    Bought this long after its release to fill a lull when I got bored waiting for the newest versions of my normal games. General game play is what I expect, but I LOVE the times when I get to sail around and battle other ships. That is a unique experience every time. I've played Rouge, and prefer that version slightly, but this fits the bill when I want AI combat adventure and have tired of 1st person shooters for a while.

    From the beginning, the Assassin's Creed series has been visually stunning - this next gen installment is no different. But that's kind of where the "wow" stops. It's still an Assassin's Creed game - same style of game play, same engine, same mechanics... new story. Very enjoyable, but don't expect a world-changer.

    The series has had it's ups and downs. ACII was probably one of the best. The series definitely made some improvements for ps4. Stunning visuals and genuinely enjoyable experience. If you've been a fan of the series, this is a must.
