Though the meat and potatoes of 'Black Flag' tasks Edward in a chase against the Templars, a good deal of the time you'll have open waters and myriad islands to explore. Tearing through the high seas for riches and fame, he becomes deeply embroiled on the centuries-old secret war between Assassins and Templars, while coming to terms with a life he left behind and choosing between one filled with empty rewards, or ones that reward mankind. The latest game in the series, 'Assassin's Creed: Black Flag,' takes a step back chronologically from 'AC3' with players adopting the role of British pirate Edward Kenway. The 'Assassin's Creed' series has been practically everywhere and every when (time travel joke!) for half a dozen titles and many smaller spin-offs.
