The first big release of July 2026 has set sail, and so far, it looks like Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is hitting a critical high note that the series hasn't seen since Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
The remake of the 2013 game currently has a metascore of 84, a number that previous games have not reached for a very long time. In comparison, the original Black Flag has a metascore of 88, and the highest review score aggregate between that game and its remake was Assassin's Creed Odyssey at 83.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's metascore was gathered from 83 critic reviews, surpassing the original Black Flag's 36 reviews. While the original Black Flag marked a critical high point, it's not the highest-rated game in the mainline series, with Assassin's Creed 2 leading with a metascore of 90.
Despite mostly positive reviews, some critics, including GameSpot's Jordan Ramée, felt that the remake didn't surpass the original's status as the pinnacle of the franchise.
