"Finally this year, with the pirate-themed Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the series has taken a major and unequivocal step forward. It doesn't lose all of the series' bad habits-hello follow missions-but it improves many longstanding problems with better stealth, easier-to-navigate cities, and sidequests that actually feel like they help make your character more powerful. Best of all, it adds naval combat and a vast Caribbean overworld that make the game feel like, in the words of Luke Plunkett, " Wind Waker for grown-ups.""
"A Good Match For: Pirate fans, history buffs, anyone who's ever wanted to pull up alongside a British frigate, grab a rope and swing from one deck to the other before fighting your way up the deck to take on the captain. So basically, anyone who's ever wanted to be a pirate. Not a Good Match For: Those who demand precision controls."
An Xbox 360 console still offers many great games despite age and discontinued production as of April 2016. The platform enjoyed a long run with memorable titles even amid hardware issues like the red ring error and early Kinect. A curated list highlights a dozen standout games that define the system's library. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag reinvigorates its franchise with pirate-themed naval combat, a vast Caribbean overworld, improved stealth, easier-to-navigate cities, and sidequests that meaningfully boost the player. The game suits pirate fans and history buffs but retains imprecise on-foot controls compared with ideal third-person stealth/platform standards.
