Black Flag Resynced review: the sea is still untouchable, the swordplay is stuck in 2013

Sailing in Black Flag Resynced still has no rival: the rebuilt sea, the Jackdaw and naval combat justify the remake on their own. Ashore it is another story: melee combat is clumsy and dated, the parkour does its job without surprising anyone, and the modern-day plot is gone with nothing to replace it. Essential if you never played it; hard to justify at 59.99 euros if you know it by heart.
