A fantastic experience plagued by the gameplay engine it's made in. It practically perfects the open world structure that black flag showcased and shakes up the gameplay with some much needed mission variety. On top of all that I found the plot much easier to follow than the base game. Where Edward was driven by greed, a very selfish desire I couldn't personally get behind, Adewale is selfless and has such a strong desire to help others but fails to look before he leaps.

Overall, I'd actually recommend this before I would black flag. While it's lacking some polish like every game in the series it's density and short length make it a much more memorable and fulfilling experience compared to some other entries in the series.
