I’m loving what’s coming down the road in terms of ‘Second Screen’ experience and this companion app for Assassin Creed IV Black Flag from Ubisoft is pretty freaking sweet! We recently reviewed the game and loved it, personally, I’ve not touched it, I’m waiting to get stuck in on my PlayStation 4 in a couple of weeks (YAY) and this companion app will be primed and ready to go when I do.
