Assassin’s Creed Pirates Review: Where the Open Seas Are Not Actually Open: Hardcore Droid

I’m a console kid. I spent the better part of my gaming adolescence behind an oddly shaped N64 controller, digging in to hours-long story games. So it stands to reason that after college nights of Bioshock and Fable installments that my taste for mobile gaming would surround similar breadths of story franchises. The Assassins franchise is as detailed as they come, and with the mobile installment Pirates, I found myself pleasantly surprised. Before I knew it I was spinning ships’ wheels and pillaging rival ships on the touchscreen with as much fervor as I would on my 360. But it didn’t come without its share of letdowns.
