PC PERFORMANCE BRIEF
ASSASSIN'S CREED IV: BLACK FLAG SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is part assassination game, part pirate fantasy, and one of the rare blockbusters willing to admit naval travel is half the fun. Sailing, sea battles, and island hopping do as much work as the main story.
The pirate fantasy is so strong that it nearly overwhelms the franchise around it. Sailing, sea shanties, naval battles, and tropical exploration give the game a breezy momentum that makes even simple travel feel adventurous. It is one of the series' easiest worlds to simply enjoy inhabiting.
