Is Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag a good videogame?
If I'm interested primarily in the sailing will I enjoy it?
You will enjoy the sailing, yes. Go collect shanties.
It's let down by the actual Assassin's Creed part, but once you get your ship you're mostly good to go.

It's a good sailing game
It's a bad assassin's creed
It's the best part of the game, dem shanties.

I recommend Assassin's Creed: Rogue, instead. Same sailing mechanics in the North Atlantic instead of the Carribean (watch out for the icebergs), and you play as a templar instead of an assassin which is a nice change. Shay Cormac is a pretty likeable character, I enjoyed the game a lot.

It's the only good assassin's creed game.

There are upgrades for your ship that are locked until you progress in the story but you can still spend a dozen hours just sailing and taking ships before feeling the need to unlock more shit.
One of the most fun games I've played - period. The AC bits feel like a distraction but can usually be breezes through or cheesed pretty quickly.

It is the best pirate simulator on the market. The ocean looks amazing and the naval combat is just too fucking good to be believed. When your crew is scrambling all over the ship, calling out orders based on the way you're controlling your ship while you blast some asshat with broadsides... Yeah it's great.
I hope Ubisoftcomes back to the naval theme for another series because they nailed it.

Top teir sailing and pirate ship battles.
Top teir exploration, unique islands, underwater caverns, Mayan ruins
Shit teir assassin missions
Shit teir present day office drama
Worth playing for the good parts, but don't expect it to be without its crapass AC bullshit we've all come to know.
As long as you never ever go to land.
That said after a while the sailing does get a bit dull, but it's a long while.
The sailing is incredibly simple.
You can either go forward, forward fast, forward very fast, or forward super fast travel speed.
You can shoot to the left or right, or do dinky sniping with your carronades.
That's it.
That's the entire game.
It's an arcade game first and foremost.

Boring, repetitive. It's definitely an assassins creed game with very little that redeems it.

Fuck off. Black Flag and Rogue are both great games.
