  • Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry initially released as a DLC to Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and eventually released as it's own standalone game as well. Believe it or not I never played Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry before so I was very curious and excited to try the game for the first time in 2022. So whether you were like me and wondering if you should buy the game in 2022 or you've already played it and want to know my opinions on it this is the video for you! If you enjoyed this review of Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry I'd appreciate it if you considered leaving a like on the video and subscribing to the channel if you're new, I make a lot of Assassin's Creed content on my channel. Thank you for watching and have a great rest of your day assassins!!!!

    I wish Freedom Cry was it’s own game with a longer story and as a proper sequel to Black Flag. It’s such an underrated story.

    Freedom Cry had some interesting story, at least. Slavery was a heavy subject throughout history, and make the DLC amazing. Gameplay, gets a little tedious and boring REAL quick, though! After hours and hours, whatever you'd freed some slaves in land and sea, more are spawning left and right, which like you said makes it repetitive! And like you said, it would be awesome if this game had the Brotherhood systems, using the freed slaves as your Assassins. And I agree with the open world. Very limited, nothing to do than boarding ships, hunting, freeing more slaves, and that's it! At least the stealth section is a little better in this DLC for me. Not the best, nor the worst, JUST tedious. At least no superpowers like with the Tyranny of King Washington

    In my opinion, Freedom Cry is an extremely underrated experience. Yes, it's extremely similar to Black Flag and has less world building, but I think getting to see Adewale really connect with a core issue from his past and learn to be able to put aside his emotional connections to cause the best outcome was great. I loved the new machete + blunderbuss addition too. This was one of my first AC games and definitely still holds a special place in my heart

    I gotta be one of the very few people who for some weird reason played this game BEFORE Black Flag, and i remember it actually made playing Black Flag so much cooler !
    p.s. Freedom Cry was on sale for 5€ and i got it to try out the AC franchise, then I got Black Flag as my first main AC title.
    After that I bought all the previous ones and it all made sense ;)

    I really enjoyed Freedom Cry and like every other Assassins Creed (except Odyssey and Valhalla) it’s one of my favorites, because of the two unique weapons (the Machete and Blunderbuss) that makes Adewale different and he’s a cool character to learn more about and then fact he became an Assassin that we play as is awesome I just wish it got a bigger map and outfits, but other than that it’s great.

    So ive been following the assassins creed series for a long time now ive play all of the games including the psp and vita games up until odyssey and the following. When it Came to AC Freedom cry I personally loved the story even though it was short lived. Adéwalé
    was a great character in my opinion it fleshed him out much more and if you played AC black flag you would see how much of a character he is showing intelligence and showing a sense of duty when it came to freeing the slaves I do believe that you should also consider him as well as Aveline de Grandpré in your videos because they are Assassins in there own right and have many skills and tactics. I would recommend this game to anyone whom is an Assassin's creed fan the game does have many fun moments the sound track is fantastic in my eyes and it gives a decent story for the short amount of time it does provide. I maybe biased when it comes to the older generations of AC games but i still think its worth playing id give it a 4/5 due to mostly how short it is and how it left me wanting more.

    Liberation was developed as a stand alone game for the Vita rather than DLC, so it’s not surprising it’s a longer story than Freedom Cry. Freedom Cry is definitely a better time than the Aveline DLC as far as Black Flag extra material goes.

    This deserved to be a bigger game and AC liberation deserves a proper remake instead of a coat of paint on what still felt like a PSvita game. Like these games felt like what assassins creed should follow.
    Haitian revolution game is a must. Maybe it can implement the idea of helping slaves and then having rebels assist you in maybe raids or forts or something (like what was hinted in that ac3 fort demo. Like having soldiers distracted by battle to make infiltration easier)

    i liked edward kenway , but adewale’s character is much better . I mean in freedom cry we saw the ade was fighting for the freedom of other people who got slaved and wasn’t fighting for personal gain like edward .

    Man I remember playing this when it came out. I disagree with you about it not having more weapons or upgrades and a smaller map. I PREFER it being a condensed version of Black Flag. I remember after beating it going back to Black Flag and having a newfound respect for AdeWale and that legendary Machete.
