Assassin's Creed Mirage Review

Assassin's Creed Mirage reviewed by Jarrett Green on PlayStation 5, also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s return to the stealthy style that launched this series doesn’t do everything right, but everything it does feels like it was done with purpose. This means a shorter game with a smaller map, fewer collectibles, smaller scope in combat, and a limited selection of gear to play with - all of which is refreshing relative to the arguably bloated scale of 100-hour games like Odyssey and Valhalla. It’s easy to recommend Mirage to anyone who’s lapsed on Assassin’s Creed, as its back-to-basics approach is a successful first step in returning the feeling that the earlier industry-defining games gave us so long ago.

My main issue with Mirage is how Basim is meant to be the fastest assassin ever lived. The fancy multi assassination where you just teleport is meant to represent the Animus failing to render because he's just moving too goddamn fast. Cool and all, but he runs so slow, he climbs so slow, and the time it takes to assassinate one dude to the next is just way too slow for the fastest assassin.

The amount of overhype this game is getting is crazy. Ubisoft somehow has downgraded certain aspects from AC1 back in 2007 and people are still saying “this game is beautiful”. Goes to show standards are so low because developers have been pushing out terrible games lately.

[@Joe-qp9ix]

A major selling point of earlier games was the kill animations, which Ubisoft doesn't seem to quite understand. Some of my favorite moments in the AC series were experimenting with the different weapons and the wide variety of kill animations and combinations you can do in AC3. The little "combo" you can do to quickly kill two enemies is an easy opening for some sick animation of your character smoothly transitioning from one enemy to another as the skilled swordsman they're trying to convince us he is, but instead you just..teleport from one enemy to the next, starting a completely different (or same) animation afterwards.

been saying this for ages. they need to make a an AC game based on British India. It would be insane

[@ugcmrdalt5838]

Spends 9 minutes slating the game.....8/10. Keeps saying it's a shorter game but makes no reference to time to complete. Great review

[@euros2813]

It's just a fancy of what should be a Valhalla DLC.

[@sublimechimp]

who wants to play the same game over and over again for decades

[@chriscrossx3701]

AC sheep fans, because they're the reason why this franchise is still lingering on.

[@shoudhorahman1177]

60% Valhalla 30% Origin 10% AC 1

[@nandakoin]

true

[@runeguy277]

And a 100% reason to remember the name

[@NM-ue8on]

Ain’t no way like Valhalla

[@milan.980]

I'll say 30% Origins, 30% Valhalla and 30% classic and 10% new

[@tontsar91]

Haha, that is so accurate!

[@BikeMasterBahrain]

yes it has gone back to its orgins but why Basim when we know what happens? why not anyone else? Also im dissapointed that there is no level up system

[@mako4874]

There will never be an ac leading man like ezio and Altair. They just need to do renditions of those guys- the cocksure , swashbuckling, charismatic, reluctant but brave, mischievous but loyal hero

[@FREEPALESTINEFTRTTS]

Broken AI, hardly any weapons and tools, boring story and target assassinations.. worst game to date

[@Phelaidar]

Honestly, looks at this and then at AC:Unity. This looks one generation BEFORE AC:Unity.

[@hawkeye0378]

Can we talk about how bad the cutscenes are? AC brotherhood had better and that game was made in 2010. It crazy to see the difference in quality between Mirage and AC games like Unity,Syndicate, and Origins.

[@Ramon_92]

Unfornatley you can see right away that the game was designed to be run on both old gen consoles and current gen consoles which is a shame . Apart from that hearing the word "linear" and "more like the old games " back in a AC review only brings joy to my ears .

[@calvinmatthews1527]

Well, if you could accept the OG Assassin's Creed, you can accept this.

[@dain6492]

Hopefully this is the end of the "warriors creed" games and they can stay assassins creed again

[@bernielomax4702]

It seems like people are seeing what they want to see with this game and remembering the older games for what they wanted them to be and not really as they were. This game uses the same engine as Valhalla, odyssey, and origins. It looks, feels, and plays identically to them except they’ve deliberately removed or modified mechanics. As for the old games they are nowhere near the stealth experience people think they were. Hell, the series didn’t even have a crouch option until Unity. Only the original game and large chunks of Unity would be considered stealth focused. All the others were swashbuckling, noisy , bombastic, combat heavy experiences.

[@williamburrell840]

Looks tremendous ! Finally an assassins creed game back to the roots and a dense city ! Love it

[@erso_returned2530]

Don't remember old ac's having microtransactions. Remember them in ac1, 2, brotherhood, revelations?

[@adamhughes7401]

This ain’t back to the roots

[@JonySmith-bb4gx]

Same old

[@AtomicZamurai]

@@adamhughes7401 it is lmao, do you really know what the root are

[@MrParabellum215]

valhalla was terrible didnt even finish it

[@cory4548]

This is my favorite AC in years ❤

[@ComicBookJunkyXL]

Disappointed by the combat and stamina system. Thought overall it was meh, definitely didn’t think it was an 8

[@LiveForToday706]

The torch fire color looks Arcade like

[@MannyGrey]

I'm hoping other games begin to follow this trend. Open world bloat was always pointless. Smaller size, but focused depth and environmental character is the way to go from here.
