Unfortunately, these genuinely interesting moments are undercut by attempts to jam science fiction and/or political conspiracy into the mix. The strongest part of AC4’s story is-as with past games-the historical aspect, focusing on real figures of the period and trying to breathe drama and life into their recorded exploits. It’s fragmented, disjointed, and continues the AC storyline’s habit of not being able to piece its disparate plot points together in a convincing way. The rest of the tale, in typical AC fashion, attempts to weave a historical narrative based on the pirates of the era, with the conspiracy of the Templars and Assassins, and the repercussions these variables have on the 21st century as the ancient, godlike culture known as the Precursors continue to influence events thousands of years after their demise. It turns out that Edward was an aspiring buccaneer in his day who-largely through blind chance-impersonates an Assassin and eventually finds out he has an aptitude for the profession. A ssassins Of The CaribbeanĪssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, is starting on a different-not necessarily fresh-slate for its story, with a new tale in the modern era, and a flash back into the past with Edward Kenway, grandfather of Conner Kenway, the hero of Assassin’s Creed III. The result is two decent, fragmented games that never really fuse into a great whole.


Assassin’s Creed is now trying the same thing, by moving the focus away from land, and providing a pirate’s playground of pillaging, swashbuckling and plundering.

Call of Duty has recently tried evading this by taking the series first from WWII to the modern era, then the near future.

Unlike something like Grand Theft Auto, which is more like a movie event with anticipation that builds up over years between releases, games like Assassin’s Creed strip away surprise over time by providing the same experience every year. The great danger of an annual series is familiarity.
