Assassin's Creed IV
The fourth title in the
Assassin's Creed franchise,
Black Flag follows the life and times of the most recent assassin, Edward Kenway, an 18th century Caribbean pirate. The game is a crossover of several of Ubisoft's best works, including
Assassin's Creed and
Far Cry 3, and still manages to feel unique. Yes, there are ship battles at high sea, too. Based on Ubisoft's AnvilNext engine,
Black Flag takes advantage of DirectX 11 with Tessellation to conjure up richly detailed worlds. The game engine is limited to a maximum of 60 FPS, which affects our results for very high-end cards at lower resolutions.
