I really miss more intimidating villains. For example in unity & syndicate. I miss fearing the leader as much as i did in the other games. i think that the story of an AC game really impacts the general interest in the game. I wanted Basim to encounter this absolutely insane bad guy that was terrible and truly evil. instead we get these order members that just think they are better than everyone else and are the “leaders of the human race” so to speak.

[@LeonJohnson-yi3hg]

Really you thought starrick was Intimidating? Lmao lame. Germain??? Trash

[@HereForTheCupcakes]

You can’t be serious when you say unity and syndicate had intimidating antagonists…

[@weplo1597]

I miss AC1 and Ac3 templars. I miss Ac1 antagonists like you get to see antagonist doing horrible stuff such as murder,slavery,dictatorship and when you murder them their speech and their opinions actually sound very complex and you get to understand their point of view which that's how Altair's redemption begins. Ac3 also did this but in a more moral way

[@gothxm]

lmfao starrick and Germain were the worst villians bar none. Starrick just smashes his office up a few times in the game before you kick his ass and Germain isnt compelling.

I wouldnt call it GREAT. I mean, it was ok. As a dlc it would've been better than some of the valhalla dlcs we got... This wouldve made more sense and moved the story more cohesively, but that's just me. I will say this though.... I enjoyed ALL the easter eggs in the game as always... Including the catassassin! I feel they shouldve made that street cat, Basims unofficial pet😂

I enjoyed it as well! More-so I know it can be better because Ubisoft has done certain things better. But Assassins Creed is a franchise that seems to never improve upon itself but instead take one step forward then one step back, over and over again

Seriously. Got right to the point and wasn't an asshole about it.

[@senseweaver01]

The biggest problem I had with the parkour in Mirage is a lack of a descent button. In every other game you can hold down a trigger and a face button (R2 and O on PlayStation) and use that to jump down the building you're on. In Mirage, there isn't present. You need to run to the edge and press O to hang off the edge of the building, then press it again to start dropping down subsequent ledges. Why can't you just quick-drop down? This is a series with Assassin's Creed Unity, and Assassin's Creed Revelations in it. These games have brilliant parkour systems! I would literally rather they just copy-pasted that to this game than keep trying to reinvent the wheel in worse and worse ways.

[@shrimpony]

Well its easier to copy paste from valhalla. What you said would take time.

[@Ineednohelp]

You can hold it to drop down less ledges

[@myhistorycorner]

In Unity, an assassin with a rifle is bad ass!

[@Just_whatever88766]

I thought it was the best ac game I played in years, the only issue I had was the money you collect seemed rather pointless to me and the ai was pretty naff. But I loved seeing the Abbasid caliphate and learning about it through all the various codex’s dotted about, I am gonna play new game + soon as completed it and wanna see how easy it is with all my upgrades 😅 edit: also very highly recommend playing in Arabic, the voice acting is much better and feels more real 😊

[@eidannishidan3794]

they should have a made a brand new IP for Odyssey and Vahlalla.

[@KniteDad]

While there was no parkour, I liked the parry/fighting system in Origins. It made it feel like there was a compelling reason for being an Assassin. And it wasn't just Bayek's story, but a few different people's stories of family loss and tragedy at the hands of the Order. When the order killed the little girl and the parents each had their own separate versions of a breakdown over her loss, I wanted to stealth and kill every Order of Ancients boss and minion along both sides of the Nile and from one end of Egypt to the other. Odyssey was beautiful, huge, had fun ship combat and I loved that every biome, state/county had different compelling stories to tell. But, being a completionist I quickly found out the procedurally generated content having too small of a database of stories to pull from, compared to the size of the world, and I started running away from all the "campsite" quests. I was also disappointed in the dumbing down of Odyssey's combat system when it had started with so much potential in Origins. While I enjoyed the state battles and the story in Odyssey, I felt more like "Conan of the broken Spear" than a stealthy Assassin. But I still was able to play stealthily and it worked. But then came Valhalla and Norway was so good, stealth, fighting, strange and wonderful places to explore and crazy weapons and armor pieces to find, justice to dole out over murdered parents and friends. Then a meeting of secret society guys and strange dreams to figure out.... and off to England to engage all the craziness. Upon arriving in England, I thought we were establishing a settlement, but instead I was being introduced to a 3 year long Viking mall simulator with side quests and I was role-playing the customer. Stealth wasn't available for sale in the mall and so was broken by NPC's with Eagle Vision from a mile away. I could buy village pieces, cool horses, themed costumes and armor. I know it was mall simulator because thousands of teens out of school because of Covid shopped there and if the purchasing broke down Ubistore would drop everything and get the register working that day or the next, (while a simple Assassin's hood took 3 years to fix and only came out with the last patch before the game was closed down.) So, if they fixed the stealth in Mirage, I'm excited by that alone!!

[@moyassermohammed7516]

I was so disappointed to see Assassin's Creed Jade (a game made for mobile) executing the double assassination mechanic much better than a full game built for consoles and pc

[@hfric]

The other thing is , how can you make a AC without its main hook ... the ANIMUS , DNA memories , Modern Times , Alien Artifacts... you can't ... people are right , the last good AC game in this IP was "AC III" that ended the game ... the plot ... the IP ... by continuing the IP after ACIII Ubisoft proved, they are Talentless Hacks that lost the plot ... Watch_Dogs was a step in the right direction , but this game ... jezzz , and the ending ... what a slap to the face ...

[@Shiroyasha2397]

They should have cooked this game some more and used the Unity Engine. So much parkour potential thrown away...

[@dantesos7564]

As a fan since the 1st game launched, I have to agree with you. The game played like a DLC. It's almost as if the studio was told "make this dlc into a game" and they spent the rest of that time pinceling in the interiors while ignoring every fundamental assassin function. When I reached the master assassin rank, I couldn't even believe it. There was no difference in Basims fight style or any noticeable improvements. Costumes dont work outside the 2 missions you need to be disguised and they dont help lower your notoriety either like I mistakenly thought. They are nice but useless collectibles. The parkour was funny because the only implementation I saw was them giving us opportunities to parkour inside structures like in Unity, but they did not implement the unity parkour like they said they would. Perks are broken, outfits perks dont work for me. The game should've stayed a DLC or Ubisoft should've really been more proactive in the making of this title. My only hope is that we get some dlc content for this game to expand on... Then maybe all that wasted space can be put to better use.

[@kermitthel-963]

My brother in Christ it literally was supposed to be a DLC, Ubisoft Bourdeux asked for it to be made an actual game. When tf did they say they were adding back Unity Parkour? and that broken stuff? bros game must be cooked or something that was never an issue. "Ubisoft" do you even know what studio worked on this? a brand new one with 400 employees, less of a fraction of those who worked on Valhalla, and they got the Assassins creed formula down better than they could with the last 2 rpg titles. Is the game perfect? no of course not, did it do what they said it was gonna do? a back to roots, stealth focused game where you FEEL like an assassin? yeah it did. im tired of reading the same shit over and over say whatever the hell you want about the game, that you thought it was bad, or that they shouldve done this or that, but dont say it was lazy, thats the biggest fucking lie ive seen. The entire game feels like a passion project, by people who actually give a damm about the older games and who did the best they could with what they were given. I hope Bourdeux gets actual time and ubisoft money to make a brand new assassins creed game, because they fucking killed it with the gameplay loop.

[@johannesg8959]

It's all about the design and the effort it takes to change directions. The only good/decent team int ac are only the environmental designers everything else is just FOLLOWING BRAIN DEAD FORMULA TO HOOK PLAYERS IN.That never worked.I mean Origins was cre originally created to encourage players to buy weapons and loots so u don't have to spend looting for 20 hours on a big map so you can level up a weapon that can finally do damage after 10 slashes. It encourages lootboxes and levels it was soo bad even as RPG enjoyed ac RPG style is just bad. They don't bother to change the combat so you have the same enemy models but one has a higher level than the other so you can't do jack shit to him. all your hits will cause no damage at all.

This is the best review I've seen of the game. I can tell you're a true fan of assassins creed. You are spot on with everything. You said everything I was thinking while I played the game. I don't know why everyone is praising this game as if it doesn't have a single flaw. I don't think you're nitpicking, but rather highlighting the very everpresent flaws that are jarring to me as an assassins creed fan. Ubisoft shouldn't have said it's a return to roots, but then use the exact same system as Valhalla. I still very much love Valhalla and had the best story in terms of Isu lore and modern day as close as we are ever going to g see t to Ezios story. But I felt so unsatisfied with the story of Mirage after the credits rolled. I expected a lot more from the story given it was delayed for over a year and still only felt like DLC for Valhalla. I expected a deeper dive into Basim feeling the presence of Loki and gain more insight into his agenda beyond killing Odin, learn more about Roshan and explain why she knows so much about Basims jinn and the Isu, explore the memory discs more, and finally see Basim meet Sigurd on screen. I think not a lot of people realized, but Hytham is in the game as a child, but it would've been nice to see Basim some years later and training Hytham and going on their mission to Constanipole and meet Sigurd.

[@arivivith4375]

It was a dlc at first for valhalla after all. So i kept my expectations in check and for that i really enjoyed the game. It's not the best assassin's creed i know for a fact, but its so much better than any of the rpg trilogy we've gotten the past few years. I bought origins, oddessy and valhalla. At first i liked origins but slowly i realized i never really replay it like other ac games, gave it a try and i just didn't vibe with it at all. I felt like it was more or less an rpg game. I didn't like it as much and when i went into other discussions with other people and realized just how much lore was messed around i slowly started hating the game. The only part about origins i like is the hidden ones dlc. Oddessy was just a game, it was a fine rpg but it had nothing i liked about assassin's Creed. I didnt like the naval combat focus in black flag (i did enjoy the gameplay) so i didn't like it in oddessy. The only thing i liked was the cult of Cosmo's screen where you hunt every member down. I did enjoy the stealth since it kinda mixes things up but i prefer the one hit assassinations. Valhalla was a game that broke my heart but also gave me a bit of faith in the game. I enjoyed the return of eagle vision, social stealth, the world actually using parkour to a extent more so than origins and oddessy. And the story and lore that was pretty much mostly fixed with Darby mcdevitt. The modern day and animus anomalies, the city arcs. I found stuff i really liked in valhalla but sadly. Its main focus is on being a viking simulator, but hey being the assassin ally that uses their tactics and hunting down the order of ancients and basically indirectly creating the templar order was a cool detail. I enjoyed the siege of paris dlc since black box missions, despite how simple they were and dumbed down they were compared to unity and syndicate i was so starved for AC content i enjoyed it. So basically i don't like Origins that much, i feel as if it ruined the series but in all honesty origins saved the series too even if it lost its identity. Oddessy just killed it for me, valhalla gave me hope. And mirage is the game that i actually adore, the studio behind mirage makes me feel like theres still people in Ubisoft that do care about assassin's Creed and its older fans. Its a right step in the direction even if its a shorter game with lower budget. And thankgod the stealth isnt a broken mess like in valhalla. I do hope the massive amount of negative impact on Mirage doesn't give ubisoft the wrong idea. I hope they realize we want them to expand on Mirage, make a better parkour system, keep working on things.

I think some people have been to hard on this game, it's everything everyone wanted, a smaller tighter older style game. And the price tag was fair. People just expect to much these days, I had no problem at all got the platinum in 26 hours and was more than satisfied, wasn't full of filler, and I had no bugs or glitches my whole playthrough. It was as close to perfect as UBI can do.

[@zacharywilliams1122]

No people don't expect too much these days. The reality is they are lazy. Ubisoft didn't make a new engine for parkour and combat for this, why? Because of money. It takes less time to build off the last games engine than to remake a new one. It's all about dollar signs for them. The side characters in this game, boring. The story, boring. The lack of modern day was always a crucial aspect of early AC games, where is that? None of this is too much to ask for. They have conditioned you to feeling that way. As for the glitches being absent, well I would sure hope so seeing as the engine is 4 games old now. That is par for the course. Nothing about this game is special, period.

[@Dean-SLC]

@@zacharywilliams1122 no one said it was special, and I said you get what you pay for. It was always touted as a cheaper smaller experience. Again asking to much. The game was an 8 out of 10 easy. It wasn't perfect but it did exactly what it was supposed to do. And again UBI never once said it was otherwise. UBI as a company is lazy and money hungry. But people worked hard on this and for people to bash it when it does exactly what it was supposed to is insane. And again it's a step in the right direction. And not once did they say anything new was gonna be added or fixed of have a new engine. So again Zachary the price and what they said they were gonna do was pretty spot on.

All of you can agree that mirage is a victim of circumstance, this is the best that a studio of only 400 people could have given us with an engine they inherited from studios massing over thousands of developers across multiple countries and continents. Yet you won’t cut this game some slack because you too have been conditioned, conditioned by other critics that these newer games can do nothing right for the series, all because the best you have to offer for criticism on its story and side characters is ‘boring’.

[@TotallyToonsTV]

Mirage certainly wasn't the golden era but I could see it definitely tried. The opening was strong, the ending was stronger and everything in between was a lot of fun. Stealth was good and Baghdad was an excellent setting. The main downsides were the parkour which didn't do the city of Baghdad justice, although the world design made the RPG system of running around more fun... and combat which had zero impact and was floaty.

[@johnsonwithat2322]

Its a terrible game. Ubisoft want forgiveness for it originally being a DLC but I'm not giving them brownie points for that. They made their concious decision to release it as a standalone game and for that I will play it as such. The game is extremely flawed. Nothing about this was a return to roots. Parkour felt the same. Idk what drugs everyone else is on that they find it night and day different to the RPG games but its not. Combat is clearly the worst part about this game. Actually the animations in general are the worst part. Actually the fact that you can't do much after the campaign is the worst part about it. A shorter list to make would be "What's good about this game?". Stealth is good. Really wish they didnt get rid of corner snapping from AC3. But it was better.. thats it. Nothing else was a homage to the older games. Everyone who likes it is either delusional or has very low standards. This game is worse than Revelations.

You cant its no incoherent and jus montages setting the story up. Saying this is even assassins creed is funny to me. Just because they mention assassins give the character a hood DOES NOT make this a AC game and certainly not a return to roots.
