How do you cope with your partner of 10 years now being a walking corpse? With your brother being a walking corpse? With having seen him being slaughtered before your very eyes? With knowing your hugs will now always miss his warmth? Living to never see his old age or the family he could have built?

How do you cope with having a body that doesn't breathe, that doesn't have a heartbeat? That will never grow older? How do you cope with your loved ones repressing a shiver and a hint of instinctive repulsion they immediately regret whenever they touch you, because your skin is so deadly cold?

They were talking about fighting the moon and dude somehow got reminded of a moon related courtship tradition that fits the current calendar and decided to take his shot Absolutely unprompted

Finished the last Ego quests and it was even worse than I thought 😭 The plot isn't even not moving it's straight up sinking on the spot. ""Scenario"" just flapped its gums during 4 minigames and went absolutely nowhere. They NEED to drop that plotline and go back to actual characters and scenario.

I think that's all that comes to mind for now. Overall I definitely recommend that remake, though if you truly want to dive into the series you'll need the og too at some point. Both are must play. Also if they don't drop/abandon the Ego plotline for the next games I might end up in the news.

- also Codex spoils enemy plot twists so DO NOT READ IT if you don't know the story yet. I don't remember if it was an issue in the og game but it was wild opening it early game and finding in the enemy category a current ally. Thankfully I already knew that twist. Happened more than once though.

- hanged men in Edward's hallucination are now random overworld corpses instead of Mary, Thatch, Caroline and Assassins? That loses so much meaning of this side of the scene. At least now Rogers harasses Edward with the jackdaw and the eagle story instead of falling into an awkward silence though.

- some characters models are a such a downgrade: Charles Vane is the worst offender, this is a whole ass different character and he fails every single Vane facial expression. I've seen people complain about Hornigold too, though his new model is better than Vane at having the intended expression

them out, but the Observatory discovery is AWFUL to play through without knock-out, you're kinda forced to kill the natives if you don't have a high stock of sleeping darts and even with sleeping darts the map is not built for that tactic. Edward canonically did not kill these guys, it was so weird.

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
- loss of free unarmed combat: one of Edward big things was that he could knock out people instead of killing them, and it was necessary for some quests (Assassins introduction + Observatory discovery). They rewrote the Assassins one around it by adding random enemies to kill instead of knocking

Files are somehow even more a chore to unlock than ACBF files because you need to go do your weekly kill target to earn points for most of them instead of just locking in for 1-2h doing all your hacking. The buildup and plot twist of ACBF was insane and paralleled Edward's story but Resynced is bad.

because they're interesting parkour runs but the story is just mid fanfic stuff. Modern day files fail to fully catch my attention because the timeskip is so big I have nothing to connect whatever is happening to. We can't place new names alongside characters we actually know from more than names.

Cons/Downgrades of Resynced: - loss of good modern day: I haven't finished the Ego plot yet because it's badly implemented, first twos are ok to find but then the game straight up forgot to tell me when to look for the other two. I'm definitely not convinced by the first two, gameplay wise it's fun

It makes me sad this gives the Maynard quest lost potential because I did really like what they were trying to do with it. Could have been one of the best quests of the game if they hadn't mess up half the writing. Still one of my fav quest additions to the game, but confusing for new players.

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
in the timeline. For some reason they wrote Anne instead of Adé in this one and it messed up the whole placement of the quest in-game? Wanting to include Anne more is nice but this was definitely not the way. Should have kept Adé around and be available in its actual timeframe.

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
there's two plots crossing wires. Also I didn't understand why they waited for Anne to unlock this quest? It feels written for the Adé era + I think Adé would have been more interesting around Deadman than Anne. The entire Maynard quest line is off chronology, even the codex places it earlier

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The Padre is ok, storyline is a bit classic but it fits decently in the game. Deadman is interesting but gets overshadowed by the Maynard plot being more interesting. I had to look up his actual antagonist in the codex because I didn't understand the relationship chart during the quest,

Other new characters additions: very varying in quality. The new stuff at Great Inagua are very interesting and give a cool backstory to the place. New officiers are kinda mid. Lucy has too much of a messy backstory for a minor character, she feels like someone's insert OC.

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
- main story&characters additions, adding a few more lines in the main story for main characters was interesting, especially Anne late game got more inclusion. Additional stuff for Blackbeard and Bonnet also helped develop Edward further through grief and new interactions.

Naval fights are more dynamic too, as someone who's not a fan of these naval fights I did have a better time on Resynced with the additional options. - environmental ambiance and weather: the game is GORGEOUS (and og was already beautiful) and the weather game is incredible. Storms are impressive.

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
- modernized gameplay adds fluidity: crouching whenever, hood up/down whenever, better down parkour... Combat leg game addition is very interesting on Edward with all the environmental uses available. Observatory fight was very fun with a push enemies button added to the existing pull.

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Pros/Improvements of Resynced: - much more explorable world by the addition of small interactions everywhere that make it more alive: Edward commenting things he sees, npcs you can eavesdrop on or interact with in smalltalk... There's things to discover everywhere, it encourages/rewards exploration.

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
but Resynced is a very good entry point if you're not familiar with the og trilogy, or a very good revisiting of Edward's story if you're already familiar with Black Flag. I usually finish ACBF in ~20h, but Resynced took me ~80h, and it didn't feel longer, the world has just more depth

Gathering my thoughts in a review of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Overall opinion: positive The game has flaws and a few downgrades from the original Black Flag, but the improvements far compensate them. OG BF stays a must play in the series for its continuation of the Desmond plotline,

I'm barely halfway through the game with the playtime I usually get through the entire game with And they removed og modern day so I don't even go through that, and I feel the replacement sections are shorter? Less to explore in them at least (though I only found one so far)

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Overall the small overworld interactions they added everywhere are so cool and make the world so much more immersive, I love it I used to get bored of exploring in the og because most of what you had to find were dozens of useless fragments and naval battles, but now I love spending hours exploring

One of my fav additions to Resynced is how you can now run into random people bragging or complaining about their riches in the streets and Edward will just go "money? I'll make better use of that than you" and steal their stuff

One of the funniest details in AC Mirage is how all the armored outfits make Basim be so noisy when he moves around Sorry I'm trying to sneak into the palace but my fancy otherworldy armor keeps creaking and clinking and giving my ass away to the guards

If I had a nickle for each time I obsessed over the male Son of a Trinity w/ a female Holy Spirit and a genderfluid Father and his story was tied to a World Tree that was high tech from a past civilization, I'd have two nickles which isn't a lot but it's weird this very specific combo happened twice

I really liked the office segments in Black Flag too, but for Resynced they've kinda confirmed they replaced the og 2013 modern day by current day modern day. We have so little information on what it will be instead, I'm both curious and worried

Sica 🎮 FE Fortune's Weave @sicahyalt.bsky.social · 19/06/2026
The main disliked thing about ACIV modern day used to be that we went from playing Desmond to playing an Abstergo random, they can't seriously keep that and remove literally everything else that was interesting back then (Sages, Juno, actual modern Assassins and Templars) for Shadows' AI
