Assassin's Creed Origins VS Assassin's Creed Mirage - Which Game is Best?

I will repeat what I said above. The reason Basim doesn't experience mirages or sweat can easily be explained by the fact that Baghdad's surroundings are nowhere as hot as the Egyptian desert. The terrain is vastly different.

That's why I called it "Midrange" not Mirage.

Physics of sand in Origin are processed so much better than Mirage. In Origin, every step gets a footprint and you can see wind blowing sand away and eventually diminishing mark. In Mirage, the print honestly feel like copy and paste of snow physics from Valhalla, just replaced with sands.

I've been saying this thing what is lacking from newer AC games. Engaging climbing and parkouring. Like in AC 2 or brotherhood where some limitation in climbing makes us take a step back and think where to go next. Apparently, most people in youtube just want to shut off their brain , press forward button and suddenly the character is on top of building. And worst people think a little limitation as a downgrade.

Exactly my thinking, I still remember climbing the Campanile of Florence in AC 2 and doing all the assassin tombs since they had good level design for parkour. Since Unity and we could say AC3, I feel like the system has been dumbed down to "press A and move the joystick to get up top". All in all, it makes for a very dull experience and a tedious task to climb observation points whereas they could be fun little puzzles on their own, a shame for a game where parkour mechanics should be at its core.

A lot of people are missing the point of Mirage. It was never meant to be as large and detailed as something like Origins, it was meant to be a throwback style game that calls back to the earlier titles in the AC series. It is meant to be a one city-based game just like Brotherhood, Revelations, Unity, and Syndicate were, and Baghdad does a good job of feeling similar to something like Rome in Brotherhood or Constantinople, imo. Mirage obviously does not have all of the small details that Origins has, but that is totally acceptable for what it is trying to be. Of course you’re not seeing the latest and greatest rendition of a modern AC game; that is not what Mirage is meant or even trying to be. If you like the old school Ezio style games, Mirage is a fun time. Not the most detailed AC game in the world, but that does not make it a bad AC game. I have had a ton of fun playing that throwback style and really don’t have a whole lot to complain about with Mirage. I had my expectations set accordingly beforehand. It’s just a good old fashioned fun AC time, and I am totally cool with that. In fact, I would love to see this UBI studio make more smaller classic style AC games just like Mirage. Just don’t make it into something that it isn’t trying to be in order to disparage the game. Give it it’s due.

I appreciate what they did in mirage bringing us back to AC I. The game is intricate yet simple enough where you don't have a crap ton of OP things to make Basim seem immortal (minus the teleport assassinations 🙃). One hidden blade, no bow, the tools are simple yet effective, and most importantly, the map isn't massive like valhalla was. They did a good job on this one. Sometimes less is more.

The map is not as big but it's way better with more buildings, more objects laying around and 5-fold more densely populated..Also, transversing big maps feels boring long term.

[@trayethell3681]

I just wish they would have added features and content into Mirage that they had in previous games already and im not talking about the "rpg" games im talking about the old old games they had more to do even Mirage feels (ambience wise and the city as a city, but not as a game and interaction wise, the city is just *there* with nothing really to do) great and it goes back to the roots more which I love it for....but it is a shallow husk of what it could have been and it feels *empty*

[@JollyJackGang]

Since The Introduction Of The RPG Elements I Have To Say That Origins Was The Best Experience With That Particular System!

[@engrfka]

You should also add the difference in production time for these games. Unlike Origins, which started production after Black Flag under Ashraf Ismael, AC Mirage only took 2 years of production and that too with a smaller team and financial budget. Kudos to the Mirage team for pulling off a masterpiece in such constraints.

[@A.H.goose1]

Masterpiece is crazy. It seems pretty good but it certainly isn’t a masterpiece

Mirage is actually a dlc repackaged as a full game. Origins was a fully cared for revamp of the game. I believe Mirage is a test to see if there is a market of old style AC.

[@Michael_the_Drunkard]

It's probably a test

[@angryspongegamer5535]

i haven't played Mirage but I wish its objectively compared with such a masterpiece. And I Don't care what you ''I don't like the new Rpged AC's'' people say, Origins is a fucking work of art. The story,combat and protagonist are peak in this game. Although I don't think games should be compared this way. Unless we want to certainly compare graphics,details and mechanics. The point is on the story, the stealth mechanism, combat, protagonist and world design are what matters. From what I've understood stealth is way better and world design is slightly better. Protagonist combat and story are worse.(mid diff, high diff, mid-low diff)

[@TheJoolz81]

ORIGINS WAS THE BEST . Need more Bayek stories

[@fal65]

One thing that I noticed after playing Valhalla and Odyssey is that unlike Origins when you randomly decide to swim anywhere a random npc with a boat won’t show up to randomly save you. Small detail but has helped me so much and made the gameplay more enjoyable

[@Gunnr-kxv]

Ac origins is incredible and my personal fav ac game ever made

[@Craizey1]

Mirage has no mirages, the game itself is a mirage in comparison.

[@hamody_star1927]

I played Origins, it was a fun game, the details, dialogues, and combat are a worthy game

[@ridongsridongs3183]

Up till this day, I honestly prefer AC Brotherhood over any other AC game. For me Brotherhood was the ultimate Assassin's Creed experience ever made.

[@Dexter0170]

Yea ac brotherhood >> all ac

[@ChuckPalomo]

No disrespect mate but for me it was the opposite, Brotherhood just felt like 2 but worse, and the chain kills trivialized the combat.

[@JoeCOOL-8806]

Man I really need to go back and replay origins. I got about halfway through, loved it, but got pulled away. Loved the refreshing start for the franchise and the Egypt setting.

[@ronuss]

Origins was a love letter, youc an tell the devs put a lot of love in that game. there so many little things that you can notice, those tiny attention to detail really add up to make something special. Its also crazy how both games have pretty much identical graphics yet origins is much older. Origins is one of the best AC games for sure. It's pretty sad its gone downhill so much from there, even if mirage improves some things its still a pretty poor effort to the great movie like quality of story and directing of the older games.

[@woodie117]

Yes, AC Origin is a Love Letter 💗

[@miketompson7407]

2:36... Hmm... it's ironic that there are no mirages in Mirage.

[@seth99909]

the biggest thing for me as soon as i played Mirage is the Desert feels solid and rocky and not whispy and fleeting like in Origins

[@andricaion9036]

Origins is still better imo, though Mirage is also a very good ac game

[@TheGamingSpartanA113]

Love the story of Origins, but Mirage has the better gameplay hands down of anything from the Ancients Trilogy, with Odyssey being the worst of the three.

[@-zerocool-]

Something really special about the last 3 games, all the loot, the grind, the storeys, the characters, weapons and mystical myths and legends, especially my favourite AC Odyssey. An AC set in 15th century British Witch trials era would be awesome, I'm sure we were teased with something like that not long ago.

[@purgeouterim]

Would be cool but i would like one set in India or in China during the Tang dynasty ❤

[@ChuckPalomo]

Or one during the 30 years war in Germany. Really I'm down for anything in the 16th-17th century.

i personally loved origin and i spent so many hours to level up. best part is that i dont regret it and after becoming master in it, I felt really good. i was in love with the graphics and details. Now days i thing we're going backward in sense of game devolving. Feels like we're not making the game more realistic but being very lazy putting some efforts in little details. It's evolution in backwards

[@notvelocity2844]

The problem with the last Assassin's Creed games is that you feel like you are playing just another Dark Souls game and not an actual AC game, they should keep AC unity parkour and made an story like AC 2 instead of copying dark souls formula like everyone else.

[@parkout95]

This saved me money and just made me go back to play origins

[@psychiartist122]

AC origin was the best movement AC series ever made. It was flawed gracefully,giving hope for the future titles,just to knew AC is a household name,and anything put on this title got the support. We need totally new setup. WW2 rift in AC Syndicate was surprisingly excellent. Maybe developers can go into that direction.

[@ad3mn]

Unity had the best movement. imo

[@alfidiansyahafid7600]

When a Mirage actually doesn't have any Mirage lol. Well, both of them are great anyways

[@the_seer_0421]

Well, it does but it's a lot more story related you know...

[@SaffyreRaven]

the sand physics/world are better in origins which is sad. But I think the issue is Origins is what we imagined the world to be. Everything is more vivid and exaggerated due to our imagination filling in blanks. While Mirage is what it actually was or is. Which is why it may seem more diluted. That said I watched a video where they said they believe mirage was supposed to be dlc for Valhalla which makes sense. Especially watching this and all the reviews.

[@문재앙의훠훠TV]

Origins!

[@MrLee_UK]

I’ve been playing AC Mirage for a while and what a step backwards in terms of the finer details. Also the parkour feels like it doesn’t flow at times. AC Origins was a masterpiece and Bayek has to be my favourite protagonist. The setting, story was just amazing. I love the Baghdad setting in Mirage but the game is missing so much from previous titles. 😪

[@pratyushkumarnayak1348]

World design undoubtedly would be better in Origins Though Mirage is a smaller map and we should expect a well detailed map with good textures but the world in Origins do have some variety Don't u think if they cut the map size they should have worked on more details which were there in Origins but was lacking in Mirage??
