Summary
Steam reviews for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced fell to Mixed after briefly hitting Mostly Negative, as players review-bombed the remake following its 9 July launch.
The backlash centers on $84.91 of extra DLC shown at launch, with users saying a £59.99 Deluxe Edition still pushed more paid content in a single-player game.
Critics also targeted £4.29 resource and map packs, arguing they offer paid gameplay advantages or time-savers, while some store items reportedly redirect players to Assassin's Creed Shadows for details.
The dispute has clouded an otherwise strong commercial start: before launch, the remake was already tracking roughly $14 million in gross revenue for Ubisoft.
The controversy extends a long-running complaint about Assassin's Creed monetization, with similar microtransactions appearing across entries since 2017's Assassin's Creed Origins.
