One other thing the pirate setting allows for is a much more colorful and vibrant Assassins Creed game than we had seen before. I am not saying we have a comedy on our hands here to anything like that, but the whole game just feels more “fun” that the last couple of entries had at this point. However, Black Flag is not as “uptight” as the previous games had been. With Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag, you still have a very well written story that unfolds as you play and the story is still at its heart about the Templars and Assassins. I have been with the series since the first game, but even I must admit that the story by the time we got to Black Flag was a convoluted mess! It was just straight-faced and took itself super serious.
