The release of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced on consoles and PC recently took place. The new title attracted a lot of player attention.
The remake of AC IV: Black Flag launched with a peak online of 100,000+ people. By this metric, the project became #1 among franchise games on Steam. For comparison, Assassin’s Creed Shadows had a peak of 64.8 thousand players, and Assassin's Creed Odyssey had 41.5 thousand players.
On the other hand, there are user reviews — and things are looking very bad with them so far. According to the rating on Steam, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is currently the worst game in the franchise. The remake started with negative reviews, but later it rose to “mixed”.
The overall rating for the remake on SteamDB is still “at the bottom” (the list is inverted in the screenshot) — just over 35%. On this service, game ratings are calculated using a different formula, so it may differ slightly in the store and updates with a delay.
Authors of negative reviews complain about the imposition of the company's service (Ubisoft Account), and also note “30 FPS cutscenes in 2026”. In addition, some players were not impressed by the graphics and have complaints about the updated combat system.
