Freedom Cry is one of the first DLC’s for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and adds a new single player mini-campaign to the game.
Unlike in the standard game, here the main character is not Edward Kenway, but his quartermaster Adewale, a liberated black slave. Freedom Cry is set 15 years after the events in Black Flag. The protagonist embarks on a mission to recover a parcel from the hands of some Templars, but due to unforeseen incidents, he crashes near the city of Port-au-Prince. There, he encounters his enslaved kins men and decides to make justice by freeing them and taking revenge on their white masters.
Although initially Adewale has no weapons, he is not defenseless. After several years from ing with the Assassins, he has been trained in the art of assassination and became a walking killing machine. Among new weapons there are: blunderbusses, machetes, and firecrackers, helpful for distracting opponents. The use of these extraordinary abilities is the key to being successful throughout the 9 missions included in the mini-campaign of Freedom Cry.
Since we are dealing here with a DLC, neither the basic mechanisms, nor the technical aspect of the game did not change, as compared with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The expansion is standalone, so it is not necessary to own the original game.

Game Ratings for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Freedom Cry Video Game.
Cheat Code Central: 4.5 / 5 by Becky Cunningham
Despite its issues, both technical and philosophical, I'm giving Freedom Cry a "must play" rating. I think it's an important start in tackling such a difficult and tragic topic via the medium of interactive entertainment. Few companies are brave enough to even bring up topics like slavery and genocide in a real-world setting. You should play it, and you should feel uncomfortable, angry, and sad while playing it. Adéwalé may not have been a real person, but this is our history, and the reality of slavery was even more brutal than the game depicts. Freedom Cry may stumble, but it opens up some important discussions that we should be having as gamers and human beings.
Twinfinite: 3 / 5
So though it doesn't feel like it's had the same devotion as other stand-alone spin-offs, such as the sequels to Assassin's Creed II, Freedom Cry is certainly worth playing for an alternative perspective to Kenway's booty-grabbing adventures. Just be wary that it may leave you wishing for more.
Digital Spy: 3 / 5 by Liam Martin
Combat and exploration is still enormously satisfying, and the narrative is powerful, but without enough fresh ideas that it can call its own, 'Freedom Cry' feels like too much, too soon.
