Journalists praised the preserved atmosphere of Edward Kenway's and the crew's adventures, but there are complaints about the uneven quality of the new content.
The PC Gamer author noted that for him personally, the key features of the remake are “not that important”
I kept having the same situation: some new thing would appear, and I'd think it was added in the remake — “Wow, a house you can customize and gradually upgrade! Cool, they added more types of ammunition for the ship! I don't remember these statue puzzles. Naval contracts? That must be something new” — and then it turned out that all of this was already in the original game and hadn't changed at all in the remake.
