2. Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

Cinematic Trailer

Take to the seas in this pirate themed Assassin’s Creed game.  There really aren’t enough great games set in this era so this is a refreshing change.  Swashbuckle all across the Caribbean Isles during the 18th century’s Golden Age of Piracy.  You’ll be recruited to join the Assassins in their battle with the Templars.
 
A merry band of brigands

The game is a big change from the previous titles just because you’re a pirate.  And you get a pirate ship.  It’s so amazing.  You can plunder other ships, hunt for sea creatures, or just look for islands to search for buried treasure.  You get to be a good old fashioned pirate.

 
Capture ships and make them your own
