Games review, ratings and cheats.

Not long ago Ubisoft released a few screenshots and concept art giving us a scoop of their latest yet to be released title – Black Flag.

If you’re a great Pirate fan, this is the game you must be looking forward to. It is set in the Caribbean Islands during Great Pirate Era in the early 18^th Century. It includes many historical figures like Benjamin Hornigold, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny and Blackbeard. I wonder if it’ll seem kinda nostalgic while playing the game with mixed feelings of being an assassin in Pirates of the Caribbean and thinking of Blackbeard from the Japanese anime One Piece.

The protagonist of Black Flag is Edward Kenway – father to Haytham Kenway and grandfather to Connor Kenway ( Ratonhnhakè:ton).

The game seems more open world than before. The freedom of gameplay that Black Flag gives to the players is pretty impressive; players can simply dive off from the ship, swim to the shore, explore islands, raid other ships and even loot the underwater ship wrecks. Most of the game will take place on land and players can explore a wide range of locations like villages, plantations, jungles, Mayan ruins and exotic islands. Black Flag features three major cities Havana, Nassau and Kingston. The gameplay also reveals some underwater exploring with full combat system. Now that’s something, underwater sea is filled with enchanted things and makes me curious about how the developers will interpret something like that in the game. It looks gratifying enough in the gameplay trailers though. The combat is system is upgraded to free aiming unlike the previous titles.

Game will also have naval combat which includes number of side missions. Players will be able to exploit weather patterns and ambush the opposition to conditions like dynamic storms to their advantage.

The developers have implemented dual wielding of weapons where Edward can use 4 pistols at the same time and dual cutlass swords as well (Reminds me of Zoro’s Nitoryo from One Piece). Other weapons include Blowpipes, Firearms, Hidden Blade and Rope Darts. The stealth system is encouraged in the game.

The new ‘Horizon’ open-world system will dynamically create side missions and exploration is the key to the game. Black Flag certainly looks more interesting and intriguing than Assassins Creed III. The graphics as usual look amazing and I’m pretty keen on getting my hands on the game reliving the memories of a pirate assassin exploring bizarre and colorful islands, ride on a pirate ship in the deep blue green ocean with the sun’s light falling on the surface of water and making it shimmer like gold, explore the Mayan ruins and swim underwater with outlandish aquatic species.
