Backed by the production values of 'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag,' while highlighting some filthy all-too-recent history puts 'Freedom Cry' well above what usually passes for single player DLC. That 'Freedom Cry' also provides a stellar way for those unfamiliar with the franchise to experience the best of its current product, means it's perfect for those who haven't played 'Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag' at all, which this review score reflects. Even so, Adewale's tale only scratches the surface of what could have been.

I recommend Freedom Cry to anyone who has ever hoped for a better story within the Assassin's Creed franchise. There are still plenty of technical hiccups and basically all the exploratory freedoms of Black Flag are now gone (which was Black Flag's best quality), but the story more than makes up for it. Given that Assassin's Creed can venture into almost any point in history and tell a story, I'm glad to see that there's finally a tale I felt compelled to follow to the very end.

In the end, Ubisoft used an established combat and traversal system to tell a story set in an explosive and ugly period in history. And by letting the gameplay do the talking, it largely succeeds. Sure, the new locations may be smaller than some might like, and the same technical and traversal issues of Black Flag aren't mysteriously erased here.

If you have ten dollars to spend, you cannot go wrong with the Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Freedom Cry DLC. Presenting four hours' worth of quality gameplay, it's well worth the investment, so long as you haven't become bored of the series' repetitive gameplay mechanics.
