An ambitious start for Assassin's Creed on next-gen. The vibrant Caribbean world and bloody piracy shine brightest, while the only sour notes come from contrived series story beats and repetitive missions--both need rethinking for AC5.
Beautiful; vast open world; Edward Kenway is an excellent rogue; Top-notch side-missions
Main missions suffer from repetition; Assassin's Creed lore has devolved to nonsense; Very few actual assassinations
