If you like black flag there's no reason to not play this
Significantly less shanties, but significantly more blunderbuss'
Adewale is an absolute unit
Easy to get 100% achieve in one playthrough

Quick, fun playthrough for any AC lover. There's only 9 main missions, the map is really small, and getting all achievements only takes under 6 hours. Definitely makes for something different just after playing through Black Flag.

I'd definitely only recommend buying this along with the Black Flag when it is on sale. It is not worth buying Freedom Cry separately, especially for full price. It is certainly not worth $15.

After platinuming two games in the franchise and owning almost all of them, I began my platinum journey for the other games, starting with Freedom Cry. It's the one with the fewest achievements, an older game, but it still manages to offer mediocre naval battles, requiring me to grind a lot to upgrade my ship to survive.

The stealth mode isn't great, as you can't crouch like in the other two I've played. This is understandable, as the two I've played were more recently released, while Freedom Cry is older.

Would I recommend the game, honestly? Yes, but only for those who enjoy older games.
