This game seems to go on sale often.

Twice now I've seen it drop to 10-20USD. Is there a reason? (Not a complaint, It's making me consider buying the game, just curious.)

[Bwoah]

Nothing new really when an ubisoft game comes to steam one year later it's usually with a discount.

[space]

it's a ubi game and it's over a year old

[BigScug A.K.A Heroic Mr. Piss]

Oh, so it was released somewhere else a while ago? I thought it was brand new.

AC Mirage is a 2023 game that just released on steam on 17 Oct, 2024.

I read that this game was significantly smaller than both Odyssey and Valhalla and thus, I was advised not to pay full price for it. That seems to be the running theme.

we call it UBI-Discount

Likely the setting. Oddysee, Valhalla, Origins, Unity etc. seem to have more interesting worlds / periods. Middle East and Far East aren't interesting for alot players. Thats why its more or less a flop which gets discounts early on. Next big thing for AC franchise could be a release in ancient Rome.

Just lets hope Ubi won't force you to play female characters ever again, like this Star War Outlaws nonsense.

I haven't kept up with any ubi games after I beat far cry 6 at launch, so idk about the story of the starwars game you're talking about, but I don't mind having to play as a character in an already established series, as it's not a very good idea to add a gender option to a pre existing character. That's pretty irrelevant to this topic though.

I recall many of the AC games having pretty boring settings, and besides for Syndicate I felt no attachment to any of the maps, maybe I'm simply an odd one out though.

Do you mean the map size? You can't judge the games quality by the size of it's map, there's a lot of empty spaces in between just to artificially extend the play time. As an example AC Odyssey's map is 8x bigger than Witcher 3 Skellige map, that doesn't mean AC odyssey is 8x better.

Also the other AC games are completely different, Origins, Odyssey and Valhalla games are grindy RPG games with microtransactions and are not Assassin's creed games, while Mirage is an actual Assassin's creed game.

Mirage, Origins are very similar, so it's not the setting.

It's probably the fact that the RPG AC games attracted RPG gamers who were put off by an assassin game.

I think they just meant content. And I mean it's probably true. It's a lot easier to make a bunch of unique raid experiences then it is to make unique stealth quests (because interactables, parkour opportunities, guards, story, is needed for good stealth while you just need fun combat and new terrain for raiding/battles to be entertaining)

It's a decent game. They really went for what AC made AC 13-15 years ago.

I'd say I enjoyed playing it more than ACIII back in 2012, lack of side content really hurt that game.

Except Valhalla is a ♥♥♥♥ game and this is somehow decent.

Far cry new dawn was more of a small sequel iirc (been quite a while since I played through it.) I think it's big and unique enough to be a standalone from 5, but with some lore to finish up 5's ending. Too small to be part of the main series, but too big for a DLC. I haven't played Valhalla to completion (I think I stopped 8-15 hours after getting the hidden blade) and haven't even seen YT content on this game, so I can't for it feeling/being a DLC.
