Assassin’s Creed Mirage: Should You Play In 2024?

[@lk0512]

The reason I bought it a few weeks ago. Seems it’s on sale for quite a while lol. But anyway, it was really enjoyable. Got around 45 hours in the game and finished almost everything, also platinum'ed the game. All I got left to do is to solve the enigmas, but apart from that, I think I did pretty much everything. And it was really enjoyable. Played the first two AC games around ten years ago when I was still a kid and Mirage kinda took me back to old times with the parkour and stealth. So, definitely worth the 25 bucks…

Also on replay, some missions have multiple ways you can carry them out, different ways to infiltrate enemy strongholds. An updated gameplay mechanic from the RPG trilogy is how enemy strongholds tend to have archers, who will prevent Enkidu from being used to scout the location until they are taken out by Basim.

As someone who has spent 45h in game, did 4 Permadeath runs (out of which 1 was a fail at the final boss battle), I will say. This was definitely one of the best games I've played! It has a lot of things missing but it's still a great game.

[@jimjimsauce]

i actually just finished a couple days ago! first half of mirage was kind of mid but second half was really enjoyable. love the story and basim as a character. 8.5/10

[@carrosaX]

As a game it think its just okay, but I think Baghdad might be my favorite setting in the whole series.

[@mattpenix8438]

Fantastic take. Very thought out. Well done. This was the perfect video for me; I’m debating getting Mirage now that it’s got some decent sales going on. Saw it somewhere for $20. But wasn’t sure. Sounds to me like the developers were listening to the community with this one. Fans said old games, old stealth. We miss that. So this brilliant smaller team designed a combat and gameplay design around filtering your play style into stealth. That three-kill-teleport combo thing is a tool designed for careful planning, reconnaissance, thinning out the heard and then using it to close the gap. In some way I feel like Ubisoft should applauded for listening to the fans who said, quite loud - and I heard it - We Want Stealth AC. And they gave fans that. Smaller - stealth - focused game at cheaper cost

[@TheMasterNathan25]

I really liked this game after not liking the last few feels great to play as an assassin.

[@chillhouse2490]

It‘s a pretty damn good AC game considering they had to work with what’s been established in Valhalla; the stealth mechanic is arguably the best in the franchise, parkour is decent but can be fun at times, and the setting is just perfect. Imagine if Ubi Bordeaux was given enough budget and development time for a proper main AC title

[@harryboundy9174]

I’ve been playing AC Mirage for the first time recently and I think it is a great return in the right direction as someone who supports ac no matter what but I truly have been really enjoying this game and think it is a great back to its roots game

[@DeepakKumar-ox5ti]

I don't know about others but when I first saw the trailer of mirage, I decided to play it, when I get time and buy the game eventually whether it is 2024 or 2043. Happy gaming and I have lots of hopes and expectations from Shadow.

[@neemz0117]

As a stand alone game its not my exact favorite but if your playing it as a continuation from valhalla and payed 20 bucks for it, then go for it.

[@kibathefang6022]

You should play this game, if you really love the OG AC gameplay. But please, wait for a discount. I bought it pre-order and while I don't have legitimate complaints considering it was still cheaper than the previous main titles, I just found the experience lacking in length. And story presentation really needed better voice acting and animations (facial especially). However, I must say that it was really nice to finally play again like an Assassin with all the tools at disposal. I just replayed Unity last week to finish up the Dead Kings DLC and let me just say, Unity's combat system feels so slow. You could see their movements easily before they hit you. You just die from being overwhelmed. In Mirage you can also get overwhelmed by a lot of enemies but it's much snappier so you can respond better. Though I can't feel much of the impact of Basim's sword slashes. I also appreciate having regular eagle vision available, because today I was playing Origins and lacking the regular eagle visions was such a pain. I hate using the birs to tag enemies.

[@Joopietron]

The fighting gameplay in this game killed it for me, also the lack of weapons and cloaks

[@G_Kostop]

Finished mirage a few weeks ago. It's definitely worth it. The world is absolutely gorgeous, probably top 3 cities ever created for an ac game. The game is consisted of literally almost only assassination missions. You go from one assassination mission to another for almost the entire game so true ac fans will enjoy it. However, because all you do is go from one assassination mission to another the story doesn't really have anything else going on for itself, which makes the story not as great as the older ac games. I was really satisfied with the gameplay, even tho it wasn't perfect. The stealth and combat are really great, however basim's extremely slow assassination animations and the lack of double assassinations don't make the gameplay as fun as it could have really been. As for the parkour, I'd give it a solid 6 or 7. It's not perfect, however the city is so well designed for parkour that it makes up for it. All in all, it's definitely the best game ac game to come out of ubisoft since ac syndicate and definitely worth playing.

[@paranormalgambler2814]

It's a great game ain't beat it yet cuz iv been playing origins and odyssey

[@KennethHigginsVideo]

My introduction to AC was Valhalla. It is an awesome game that one never seems to compete fully with all the side things going on plus the vast maps. Some of which is way to difficult to complete even on the easiest setting. With Mirage it is a case of, ‘Is that it?’ I can’t find the last shard to discover what is hidden in the cave despite eons of searching and if I did eventually find it I would probably repeat my words’ is that it?’ Maybe once I find the final shard more things open up on the to do page but all in all very disappointed how brief the game is compared to Valhalla. Would have been nice to have a bow and arrow.

[@mattpenix8438]

It’s not just you. You could switch out screenshots from Origins and this and not sure I could tell the difference. Ubisoft is good at this, making these areas seem fresh and new but often can be similar. I wonder what Shadows will look like. That release, will have some of lush Vahalla landscape I believe, maybe with some cherry trees tossed in and other assets.

[@Connor-8]

Top AC games of all time in my opinion 1. AC 2 2. AC Brotherhood 3. AC 4 4. AC Mirage 5. AC 3 6. AC Unity 7. AC Revelations (While they may have Assassin Creed elements, I don’t fully recognize the RPG’s as AC games).

[@triplezeroxz5875]

As someone who has AC Mirage as number 1, I respect this list I think for me it's 1. AC Mirage (mostly for gameplay. Best in the series imo) 2. Unity (extremely close second. Like if it came out completely fixed and worked all the time this wouldn't even be a conversation) 3. Liberation (they shafted Aveline with a short and underwhelming story but I love the idea of a female assassin who uses disguises the way she does. She deserves better) 4. AC1 (it knew what it wanted to be and went for it, story, gameplay, narrative, worldbuilding, it is the reason we are still getting games to this day. Wish the series would return to this level of quality storytelling/narrative focus. And catch ledge/vault mechanic) 5. AC2 (built upon AC1 beautifully. Everything you would want in a sequel) 6. AC ORIGINS

@@matteolefevre9514 hookblade was fine, didn’t really use the bombs and I didn’t like the tower defense. I was perfectly fine with how they did the recruitment and deployment of assassin recruits in Brotherhood.

[@sircloutxc]

Solid game that I can recommend to ac fans who have been wanting traditional stealth. Story isn’t anything crazy and open combat is pretty bad but you should be avoiding open combat for most of your play through anyways. Love the permadeath mode and imo I appreciate the shorter length of the game as it can be something I can just replay whenever I feel like without having to commit hundreds of hours.

[@anthonybruno3183]

The multiple takedown thing is basically Batman Arkham fear takedown where you could take down like six enemies at once except he just knocked them out, but basim would kill them lol 😂 going from vahalla to mirage was like night day on the scale They’re both beautiful games and I love norse the mythology kinda got lost all the story, but I actually recently went back to go play Valhalla cause I forgot some storyline stuff so I went back to figure out some stuff a little bit better in mirage before I progressed further. - every once in a while, I’ll play the DLC of the Valhalla just to get a different thought process on God of war Ragnarok and the diffrent depictions of Norse mythology but mirage was cool he definitely don’t feel invincible in the beginning, especially

[@destroyer4511]

I think the reason there’s no irl scenes in mirage is because it was originally planned as the dlc for Valhalla which don’t include those sequences and Bordeaux didn’t have the resources to add t(at and still make a good game.

[@aks19880]

The first act and third act was great. The second act, which was the major chunk of the game, felt a little flat because they again gave you a choice of which target to go after. While I appreciate the freedom of choice, it comes at the cost of the pacing. The story slows down until you have eliminated all 4 targets.

[@Shahrvande_Iranian34]

People hate on this game for NO REASON ( apart from the combat ) like, the Teleporation ability. You have the option to not use it at all. and honestly its really cool, and useful.

[@onedayyoumay95]

It’s a good game but definitely wasn’t worth the $70-80 when it first came out. Seemed like just an expansion game. It’s not long at all

[@triplezeroxz5875]

Short answer: Yes. Yes. And yes. Long answer: I just beat it on permadeath mode. I'm on the verge of platinuming it. I'm still discovering and learning to master its systems. From a gameplay perspective, it is my favorite game in the entire series (extremely high praise, considering it used to be Unity/Liberation, which are extremely close seconds) it has the strongest combination of all 3 pillars of Assassin's Creed gameplay (stealth, combat, parkour) though the parkour is modest in comparison to the older games, when you master it you can make it look and feel great. And it's even better now that they buffed side/back ejects. There are youtube guides by Dallin and *Wary Bubbles* (especially Wary) that can teach you how to make it more consistent. For context, I have never played Valhalla, and I genuinely have no desire to. (Never getting his original robes smh)

The stealth, listening to the community, setting, and story of the game are reasons I decided to purchase the game.

[@mikafu]

While Mirage did deliver on the bare minimum feel for an Assassin's Creed game (assassins robes, parkour, killing templars), I feel that it was really far from a "return to roots" and was lacking in so much. The entire section where Basim is training with Roshan always bugs me because the minute he dives into the sea, the next moment, he is a few days into training. A lot of the "training" was basically just a cutscene montage too. I felt the entire thing was a wasted opportunity. Basim was a street thief who believed in justice for those stomped on, I want to know what the Creed and being an assassin means to him. It was all such a waste. Basim also doesn't really learn anything or change as a person (I'm not talking about discovering the ginni loki thingy) The parkour, while a slight improvement from Valhalla and aided by the setting, is by no means a "return to roots". People always say that the parkour should follow Unity's but I beg to differ. Unity's parkour was flashy, but the player control and freedom was terrible. If anything, a true return to roots would have followed the parkour mechanics of AC1-ACR. Then, to improve it, add the flashiness of Unity. As for the story, I felt it was meh at best. Basim's goal is discovering about the Ginni but honestly, I felt that should have been an entire side content/DLC. What made the story of Altair, Ezio and Edward so compelling was discovering what the Creed means to them, what being an assassin means to them, how their lives have changed as a result and how they changed lives as Assassins. Mirage was a perfect opportunity for this as Basim is a street thief. He looks up to the Hidden Ones as people who fight for the oppressed. There are times where he (and Nehal) questions the Creed which I really like, but I wish that had more of an impact and role in the story. Stealth I feel is the only thing I really liked about Mirage. For those who are considering getting Mirage, I feel you will enjoy it if you just like the bare minimum feel of being an Assassin, without caring for good writing (You would prob like Unity or Syndicate too to an extend)

Personally I love Mirage, I've been wanting something like this for a long time. Sure it's not perfect, the AI doesn't work well and the animations are dreadful but aside that it's just so fun to play. Top 5 for me

How about the music I'm really putting it number one in the whole franchise
