4k with scaling is broken. You have to turn scaling off in Windows or the game will freak out. No windowed or borderless mode. There is a patch to force a windowed mode, but no borderless. I won't be recommending because Ubisoft wants to charge $40 for this when it barely works on modern systems.

As for the game, I played it elsewhere and didn't much care for the parkour in this one or the story. For me, it just wasn't Assassin's Creed, but it wasn't a bad game. If you like pirates, you basically have to get this game. If you want to get only the best AC games, I would be more hesitant.

Woke developer.

Fun gameplay. You need to lock FPS to 60 and turn v-sync on if you have issues in the later sequences - I got crashes in the 7th memory that I could not solve without locking the framerate. You can unlock framerate after you pass that section but any time you get crashes, lock the framerate again until you pass that segment of the game.

It's crap. Feels like a cartoonish superhero game, the story is clumsy, the historical characters are garbage, the villains are weird, it just doesn't feel like Assassin's Creed. It barely fits in the narrative. Then the Jack the Ripper DLC is arbitrarily hard to make you think they "fixed" it.

Crashed.

The Andrew Collins part was hilarious. I didn't expect that.

Very old, the scenes are poor quality, and the voice acting is very bad. It's outright difficult to tell what you're looking for because the scenes are so compressed and grainy. The sound mixing and the recording quality of the voices is also terrible, even without the amateur acting of the VAs.

Awful all around.

Waste of time.

Scratches that VCD itch without the annoying physics. Definitely one of those chill out and indulge the OCD games - I just wish there were more levels and workshop support.
