While maybe not the best Assassin's Creed game ever, AC Black Flag remains my personal favorite. I loved being able to explore the seas with shanties blaring, but the thrill of ship combat put the biggest smile on my face. I've been desperate for this long-rumored Black Flag remaster to surface, and while a bit of Sea of Thieves dabbling has provided some relief, it may actually be Mount and Blade 2 Bannerlord that has the remedy. Yes, the RPG is dragging its huge, land-based battles into the high seas in its new expansion, and it looks awesome.
