A review of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced suggests it is a worthy modernization of the classic game. The game appears to have been well-received, with some outlets calling it the "ultimate pirate fantasy" and stating that it is "worth its weight in gold". However, there are also reports of a backlash against an Assassin's Creed remake, though it is unclear if this is related to Black Flag Resynced.
