#41: Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
The second Assassin's Creed I've played after AC III Remastered. IV is superior to III in almost every way except for the story. I enjoyed Connor's journey a bit more than his grandfather's from a narrative perspective. That said while the gameplay is largely the same IV is basically my favorite part of III in feature length. I loved the sea battles in III, so the sequel having not only way more of that but improving on it by alot made the game as a whole more enjoyable.
The game is set in the caribbean sea where you get to explore alot outside of the main story. Destroying dozens of Spanish and British vessels never gets old and especially fun to beat are the pirate hunters. Upgrading your ship is very satisfying and catching sharks and whales seves as a fun diversion. The crew singing songs is pretty funny to me.
On top of that AC IV obviously also offers several cities with a bunch of soldiers to murder. Fun for the whole family.
I spend 200+ hours of destroying the entire Spanish and British fleet several times over.
While alot of the large amount of content is just filler the gameplay and the still very good story keep it from getting boring.
This is my second favorite Ubisoft game.
