Edward Kenway’s actor gave me one piece of advice before playing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, and I’m glad I followed it
A newcomer to the Assassin's Creed franchise chose to start with the Resynced remake of Black Flag after seeking advice from Matt Ryan, the actor who voiced protagonist Edward Kenway. Despite never having engaged with Ubisoft's original pirate-themed adventure, the author was drawn in by excitement surrounding the remake's announcement and wanted guidance on whether to begin with the classic or the new version.
The remake exceeded the author's expectations with its visual quality and range of activities set across the Caribbean. The experience included naval combat, fort sieges, marine creature hunting, and ship crew interactions, all of which led the author to declare it the strongest Assassin's Creed game they'd encountered, even acknowledging their limited exposure to the broader franchise.
