For a stealth series the ship combats are really enjoyable. Seeing how they improved on it from the sidequests in III was fun. Plus the symbolism of the Jackdaw and how it related to Edward's character is genius writing imo. Only reason I'm putting this at 4 1/2 and not 5 stars is because there's a mission where you're required to kill a bunch of indigenous people on their own island and I really didn't vibe with how that was like the only time you couldn't just sneak by and not kill anyone. Other than that though this game is a masterpiece.
