The Golden Age of Piracy begins, characterized by increased pirate activity in the Caribbean and Atlantic between the late 1600s and early 1700s.
Edward Kenway, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, is born in Wales.
The events of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag take place primarily between 1715 and 1722 during the height of the Golden Age of Piracy in the Caribbean Sea.
Pirate activities decline due to increased naval efforts, anti-piracy laws, and changing political landscapes.

This game is such a beautiful love letter to old school JRPGs. Real Golden Sun vibes at times. If you enjoy any of what I just mentioned, it's worth giving this one a shot.
It's fun thinking about this game. I think it's a great game for people to play even if they don't have the nostalgia. Holds up well. Steam Deck verified (naturally). There are more and more indie FPS games inspired by Half-Life 2 and some of its styles and gameplay loops - and all of them are so fun. O.G. Halo + This, and you have the backbone and inspiration of a lot of great games.
One of my favorite games ever. Does anyone else remember the promotional VHS tape that Nintendo Power sent out to promote this game? As a kid, that was the coolest thing. I bought a Super Nintendo because of it.
