*third gameplay

So good to play again one of my favorite games of all time. Will play again in 2025 and do a complete review. As for now, I noticed that people in this world don't ride any motorcycles. Although this problem is fixed in later games, but I just didn't understand why they did it.

A unique entry to the series. Black Flag lets you play as a pirate turn assassin. You can drive a ship. Engage in combat with enemies. Collect the resources after you hijacked them. For me, this entry is my favorite when it comes to story. Man, the epilogue is so touching. I had tears in my eyes. Being a pirate commanding a ship and taking down enemy ships from the easiest ones to the troublesome ones, it's definitely one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. But that's where the problem lies. This is not the best game if you want to be an assassin. I had trouble with its gameplay. Particularly in stealth. As someone who played AC Syndicate as their first AC game, the ability to crouch without entering bushes is very missed. Also, as someone who likes to complete side missions before the main ones, the rope assassination introduced in the endgame was barely used.

As of writing this review, there's a rumor that Black Flag will get a remake. In my opinion, it's not necessary because the gameplay still holds up to this day. But if it happens, please fix the stealth.

*second 100% gameplay

Rockstar's attention to minute details is unprecedented. But what makes GTA V is only rated 4 stars by me is that it lacks activities after completing all main and side missions and the areas outside of Los Santos are not interesting enough. Of course, to be able to play three different characters with their own personality is a breath of fresh air for the series. Story-wise, I liked them. Especially Michael. I will play it GTA V again after I played all GTA games in order to welcome GTA VI.

2022

I had fun with it because I played it with my friends. The story is good but nothing special. The survival aspect is good but the customization (especially the character) is limited and the combat is less satisfying.

Best Far Cry game. But I get a headache every time I open the game menu because of the SFX menu.

Using NPCs as the protagonists is a welcome one. While it's unique, it also has a drawback. I didn't emotionally attach to the characters. Still, playing like James Bond is a great thing.

Much easier than its predecessor. I was able to finish it in Realistic difficulty. It's because most of the missions could be done with just the drone and RC kart. Also, I didn't like the story as much as the first one.

Only took under 6 hours to complete the campaign. But it's worth it. For less than 18K Rupiah (US$1,26).

Great story, great gameplay, great atmosphere, shit driving.
