Are you familiar with the Ship of Theseus? It is an ancient philosophical thought experiment about whether an object is the same thing once all of its constituent parts have been replaced. It is a paradox, a fun poke at themes of identity and continuity, and greater minds than mine have attempted to answer the riddle through philosophical, mathematical, and metaphysical lenses. But today, I am going to apply the question to Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced. Read more

"This has got to be the most awesome toaster ever": Saber on building upon hits like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2
