several reviewers labelled "black flag" a more pirate game than it is an "assassin's creed" one, due to its heavy focusing on pirating in gameplay, story, and characters. reviewers felt that it was better for the game; they praised "black flag"s more light-hearted fare and tone compared to previous games, while also believing the game wisely avoided the usual convoluted "assassin's" plot in favor of a simplistic pirate story. gilman stated that ""black flag" is a better pirate game than it is an assassin game," with "pc gamer"s tom senior remarking that ""black flag" doesn't really want to be an "assassin's creed" game, and [...] that is a welcome move." reparaz called it the greatest pirate game he had ever played, while "electronic gaming monthly"s ray carsillo declared "black flag" to be "probably the best pirate simulation in gaming history." tito stated that "black flag"s gameplay reminded him more of a 3d version of "sid meier's pirates!" than any "assassin's creed" game. edward kenway's character as a self-motivated pirate rather than an assassin was also praised by most. sliva believed that edward's character was a "refreshing change of pace from a series that had started to take itself a bit too seriously," while he and gilman stated that edward was a "livelier" and more "palatable" protagonist than "assassin's creed iii"s connor.
