When talking about "Assassin's Creed: Black Flag", the first thing that comes to mind is "Age of Discovery". There are already many games on this theme. Needless to say, "Age of Discovery", there are also more famous ones such as "Age of Discovery", "Pirates of Sidmel", "The Merchant King", "Age 1701", etc. But even so many works, no such thing as "Black Flag" can get so close to stare at a pirate, see his emotions and desires, and his glory is desolate.
This is a game that is similar to Red Dead Redemption 2: the extramarital madman who is heading to the end struggles to survive and realizes his own value in his own world, the conflict of free and rebellious adventurous spirit and the conflict of order rule, and the sad and destiny of marginal figures swallowed by the waves of the times.
After playing the Assassin's Creed series, the highest peak in my heart is the black flag, which cannot be surpassed! The Spanish-Portuguese architecture, the bright Caribbean sunshine and blue sea, the passionate boat songs, the fierce naval battles, and the legendary stories of the pirates all made me intoxicated.
Secondly, the protagonist is portrayed well, with flesh and blood. Edward is always a person. Compared with ezio's noble life and beliefs, Edward is always an ordinary person who values love but is not good at expressing himself, but is very stubborn, and he has been pursuing this life, trying to prove himself, but he has been losing it. Finally, under the guidance of the assassin organization, it has a bit of the taste of Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin". His legendary and full and tragic life is memorable.
The battle is also very good, both on the ground and naval battles are very enjoyable, and the missions of the four legendary ships are also very challenging.
The ending is the ending, it is really the climax of the whole plot. When Mary sang the parting glass-Cara Dillon, I was still thinking that this lyrical and slightly sad song was quite suitable. Edward turned around and the dead pirate brothers sat there talking and laughing, waving to Edward.
My mind exploded at that time, and I only thought of the four words "How much C"... Tears were flowing down my eyes, and I felt a lot of emotion in an instant. I remembered my friend who was once good but gradually forgotten because of time. The feeling of melancholy and helplessness should be similar to Edward.
The black flag also has its shortcomings, such as too many collection elements and too high repetition, which makes people very annoyed, and there is also uneven plot distribution. The Pirate Brothers emphasize the description of Blackbeard and Young Master Qide, but for the other few people, they don’t pay much attention to it, which makes them look a little thin.
But the flaws do not conceal the merits, Black Flag is still a very successful work. It is the most praised work on Steam among the series, and it is also the highest peak of the Assassin's Creed series in my mind!
