Is it still worth playing?
Ubisoft Montreal's 2013 open world action adventure in the Caribbean, with three main cities, Havana, Kingston and Nassau, first on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U and later on other systems. The story follows the Welsh pirate Edward Kenway in the West Indies during the Golden Age of Piracy, from 1715 to 1722. You captain the ship Jackdaw, sailing, boarding ships and attacking forts, in a game split about 60 to 40 between land and sea. On land there is melee, stealth, hunting, fishing and crafting, and shipwrecks can be explored underwater. Kotaku called ship to ship combat and boarding the highlight and found the cities suited to rooftop movement. A modern day frame is played in first person with hacking minigames and no combat. The open sea gives a loop distinct from the city based games, which makes it worth sailing today.
