I never played Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag when it first launched in 2013. I’m kicking myself for that negligence right now. Its new remake, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, reaffirms that the open-world pirate adventure is one of Ubisoft’s finest games. Everything from its thrilling naval battles to its island treasure hunting holds up remarkably well in a respectful touch-up that mostly sticks to impactful gameplay tweaks.
