Assassin's Creed Mirage

Okay AC game STORY: • Good length, around 17 hours. • Strong opening. The game starts quickly and gets straight into the plot, without wasting hours on basic tutorials. Basim’s intro gives the story a strong emotional and thematic start. • After the title drop, the story becomes weaker. It splits into separate Baghdad investigation arcs that can be completed in flexible order, similar to modern AC RPG structure. • The problem is not that the story is non-linear. The problem is that the structure does not support character development. Since missions can happen in different orders, Basim cannot meaningfully change from one arc to the next. • Mirage has a beginning and an ending, but the middle barely works as a story. • Also the game has a superficial approach on what the Hidden Ones believe, why the Creed matters, or barely explores what Basim is truly learning. And The Order/Templar plot is weak • Story scenes feel stiff. The animation is poor, the voice work is uneven, and the dialogue often feels like exposition instead of natural interaction. • The ending is mediocre. Basim’s transformation feels abrupt, unsupported and emotionally hollow. • No proper modern-day story: this is a huge problem because the modern day is a core pillar of Assassin’s Creed. • The DLC helps by giving Basim one strong emotional moment and connecting Mirage better to Valhalla, but it does not fully save the story. GAMEPLAY: •Parkour after the update it is good because you have a lot of freedom (not like ac1 and Ezio games) with manual jump and ejection, Bagdad is built for parkour, but Basim moves like Eivor aka like a tank instead of feeling light and agile like an true assassin from a thief background, And the system itself does not feel skillful enough • Stealth is fun but Enemy AI is dumb • Combat is Fun , but nothing special • Black box assassination missions are one of the highlights. Mirage brings back Unity/Syndicate-style target missions, and they are mostly well executed. • Side content is weak. Outside the main missions WORLD: • Baghdad is great. It is beautiful, atmospheric and historically rich. • The city feels alive. People use fountains, walk through markets and move naturally through the streets. • Graphics are beautiful. • Music is great, and the end of the DLC is peak. • The world is easily one of the best parts of the game. OVERALL: With the DLC and the updates, Mirage becomes a better experience. It gives Basim one excellent emotional moment and connects the game more clearly to the wider AC story. But it still does not fully save the game.

здравствуйте почему вы не делаете ещё длс в персии почему это серии надо продолжит серию по истокам не делаете

A comparatively more grounded assassin's creed game. Basic story, good visuals and good parkour.

Good AC game (Better than AC Shadows)

:)

the good: - the scenery and setting of this AC is amazing and authentic to the older experience. -the story can be abit linear at times but still enjoyable - enough gameplay for when you get this game on a good steam sale. - graphics are good - npcs are good and the writing isnt corny like some modern games The Bad: - the controls and climbing can be abit janky - ending seems decent but i wasnt a fan of it. The ugly: - the ai is really dumb for stealth and there is no real way to increase the difficulty for that apart from decreasing the time of detection feels like corners was cut here. - experienced a fair amount of visual bugs throughout the game not enough to ruin my experience but does break immersion abit. - there are still missions and times where you are forced into hack and slash gameplay as a assassin.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is one of the best Assassin's Creed games I've ever played, and I've played them all. It brings back the true AC core mechanics, stealth and planning and actually having to think before you act. There's no more silly hack and slash approach where you're some unstoppable god who can just spam the attack button or chain combos through a crowd. If you end up with a bunch of enemies on you at once, you did something wrong, and you should have a hard time surviving unless you smoke bomb out or run for it. On top of that, there's none of the RPG bloat either, no massive tech trees to grind through and no endless piles of gear to sort through, which I really appreciated. What I liked most was the approach with outfits, being able to blend in and gain an advantage in a mission, there was also way too few of these missions. There's also the ability to choose your own attack vector in assassination missions, picking how you want to approach a target instead of one fixed path. Taking a little inspiration from something like the Hitman franchise, where picking your approach matter just as much as the kill itself, is exactly the right direction in my opinion, and I hope future games lean into it even more.
