Black Flag Resynced is currently sat at 86 on Metacritic right now, so it seems sprinkling nostalgia all over some pirate sensibilities have made this remake worth playing!
Let's have a gander at some of the reviews:
"Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a superb remake of an already excellent adventure game. The addition of things like stealth grass and improved combat only add to the experience, and navigating places like Nassau and Havana feel busy, authentic, and compelling. Besides that, the sailing and ship combat are peerless, and make the journey anywhere feel eventful and relaxing by equal turns. Some jank in the combat animations aren’t enough to hold this one back, and if you’re a fan of the original this is an absolute must-play. For those who missed the 2013 classic but who enjoy Assassin’s Creed in general, I’d go so far as to call this utterly essential."
IGN (9/10)
"While the original Black Flag holds up well enough that it probably wouldn’t have been my first pick for an Assassin’s Creed remake, sailing the high seas, sending other tubs to Davy Jones’ Locker, uncovering ancient secrets, and asking “What does that have to do with me getting rich, exactly?” have made it clear Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced was a necessary second pass over one of the best games in the series. More than just the game you remember but shinier and better looking, it’s also an attempt to bring Black Flag’s systems and sensibilities up to today’s standards."
"Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is everything I wanted from a modern remake of one of the franchise’s most beloved entries. It respects what made the original so special while smartly refining the areas that needed improvement, such as combat and ship gameplay."
"The main story has been improved, but it's that sense of exploration that makes Resynced stand out. Those were the parts of the game I had the most fun with because they truly fulfil the fantasy of being a pirate."
"Like a captain going down with their ship, Ubisoft has remained loyal to the classic Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag experience in this new Resynced version. It’s as you remember it, except better, bigger, and markedly flashier in all the right ways. Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced demonstrates there’s still a charm to staying faithful."
