The verdict
A short, Black Flag-style naval adventure that lets you play the Templar side, with a strong premise and protagonist. Skip it if you want something new or can't stand Ubisoft Connect.
Great for
Black Flag fans who want more naval combat and a fresh Templar-side story, ideally on sale
Main risk
Feels like a short Black Flag reskin padded with collectibles, and Ubisoft Connect may block launching
What players love
Playing the Templar side is a fresh take
