Our own Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced review was quite positive, commending Ubisoft's remake of the 2013 game as a polished and faithful revival. Black Flag Resynced doesn’t reinvent the game or go the modern RPG route, we felt that it genuinely improved on the original in the right ways with atmospheric art design and welcome upgrades.
Sales are doing well too. With already 2 million copies, it seems likely that we'll now get remakes of older games in the franchise. Alas, it's almost inevitable that a remake on this scale comes in for criticism. Some people lament changes made to certain elements of the original game, while others are appalled by intrusive microtransactions or the technical limitation of 30 fps for cutscenes. But would Ubisoft ever have been able to please everyone?
