Truth be told, I was cautious going into Freedom Cry; having just finished Black Flag, I worried that fatigue would kick in straight away. This hasn’t been the case, however. It may not be the most ground-breaking downloadable expansion, yet Freedom Cry is pitched perfectly, offering just the right amount of content to explore. Even though you are essentially playing the same game it manages to do enough differently and certainly warrants the asking price.
It's easy to imagine a big-budget game tackling slavery with the subtlety of a hammer, but Freedom Cry is an emotional triumph...with some ethical issues.
If Assassin’s Creed grates on you and you’re tired of dumping money into games that are functionally identical in many ways, look elsewhere. But Assassin’s Creed 4 will please AC fans, and from a purely mechanical, gameplay standpoint, it’s probably the best game in the franchise to date. From that perspective, it’s a worthy investment. From others, like narrative, it leaves much to be desired.
