Ahoy! Assassins - Pirates Assassination better!

In the boots of buccaneer Edward Kenway you out to sea to search for treasures in the Caribbean. Wealth and a better life for him and his family are reason enough to throw scruples and respect for the property of others on board. In the waters around the lively Havana, the delicate Kingston and the pirate stronghold Nassau wait Spanish and British freighter waiting to be plundered. The dense jungle house the treasures of the Mayas, and can be found in the magnificent cities always victims, which can be put on the cross.

At first I could not share the idea of ​​an assassin in the world of Captain Jack Sparrow with the best intentions,
however, filled the fear that the game main theme in Caribbean flair goes, in my previous gameplay (about 8h) not.
I received ande the story so far as a rather grim and brutal history with actors who rarely meet clichés and refreshing walk on paths far from Drögen Disney nostalgia.

The Jackdaw is the rotational and crucial point-in Kenways career. With her you will discover new places, defending itself against enemy fleets and looted precious cargo. With experience gained can improve the equipment, install more guns and reinforce the stern and bow. Five different strategies have to be mastered, depending on whether the enemy from long range attack or tend to ramming. When boarding, it is a matter of personal taste whether one defensive vorschickt his men and the opposing captain extinguishes from a distance, whether one creeps on the masts or the water behind enemy lines or dive or if you swing the blade itself.

I personally liked the naval battles in Part 3 with Connor already and am completely thrilled to now. If you want to build all improvements around his ship, but much gold is needed. But by now gives the rich Schatzkarten- collecting and chests make sense, it was known in part 3 not really why you should act and had at the end of the game even a good mountain in Indian gold bag.
In Part 4 we frequently even catch yourself how to invest hours in thefts and robberies in order to afford the expansion of Jackdaw can. The number of side missions, from the humane whaling until extensive dive after jewels are plentiful and offer a real alternative to the main line.

The graphics and sound go hand in hand towards atmospheric representation of the year, certainly one of the best eye candy for the still current consoles. So while one enjoys the spectacular graphics in addition to the massacres, it is full of atmosphere sonication of pirate songs, wild animal sounds or the pounding surf.

Conclusion,
Assasins Creed 4 is not the best part of the series, this part 2 and its offshoots have just too good presented and illustrated the Assassins / Templar braid very clear and exciting.
But the adventure with Edward just fun, look great and motivate up now for a long time.
Definitely worth a look and as a fan of the show anyway a must!
