ASSASSIN'S CREED STILL LIVES

[Samuca]

I'm 23 hours into AC Mirage. I'm really enjoying it

For me, a fan of the franchise, this game brought back the experience of the first games, with the focus on assassination in multiple ways, focus on stealth (which was sorely lacking in AC Valhalla and a bit in Origins), the tools that we used to have as traditional and were lost over the course of other games.

It's a real treat for everyone who enjoys AC. I'll do my detailed analysis later, but I agree with you and highly recommend it too

What's your opinion on this game?

I really enjoyed playing through it on PlayStation. I thought it was a return to format and felt like a true turning point for the AC franchise.

i would put Mirage as my least AC

[Bwoah]

Simply put there are those who likes the AC rpg formula and those who enjoy the old school one.

it's nice seeing Ubisoft go back to the original premise of the games,, Surely Odyssey, Origins and Valhalla were nice, but a reason existed why everyone loved the older Creed games.. This was a really refreshing throwback..

I'm only about 3 hours in but really looking forward to getting things going. I'm just hoping the game doesn't get repetitive like the three above mentioned games got after so many hours of playing.

I just finished it. it was such a good game that I am going to play it on repeat. Its actually an impressive feat for me, I haven't finished an assassins creed game since black flag came out.

I like both.
Also I like to 100% those massive AC games like Valhalla and Odyssey :D

i also like both, but i prefer classic AC so i'm really loving Mirage right now. every day after i do Valhalla's daily missions and then continue Mirage's playthrough i'm amazed all over again just how right Mirage feels and how reminiscent i am of older AC titles. hopefully we get even more things back with Shadows and AC continues on the right path forward.

I really enjoyed Mirage too. The Baghdad setting is absolutely beautiful and it feels good to play and finish a game in less than 100 hours :D

I'm only about 13-14 hours into it - borrowed a copy from a friend, but also enjoying it quite a bit. It's the first one in about 10 years that actually feels like an Assassin's Creed game and not a copy of Witcher 3.

If they ever remove Denuvo, Ubisoft Connect, and give back the DLC they stole from people after turning off activation servers in 2022 I would buy this game as a show of good faith. I think chances are higher that they go bankrupt though before they ever do something pro consumer, though.

they are kinda in a bad spot right now but they are doing a lot for AC fans lately, so instead of wishing they make all your dreams come true at their lowest point, which is unrealistic of you, why don't you support them instead or at least not wish them to fail so they get through this and are able to make all those dreams come true?

Hah, absolutely not. They have simply entered the "consequences" stage of their own poor choices over the past 5-10 years. F around and find out as they say.

They've earned the spot they're in right now with anti consumer decisions and bad narrative / design choices over the last 8 or so years.

If they want to earn my money for Mirage, I've listed the route via (3) pro consumer changes they can make by rolling back some very bad decisions that should have never been made in the first place.

It's a decent game. But the map is waaaaay too small, with far too much dead, empty space. Serious downgrade from Valhalla. Got it on sale and it was worth it, but no way would I have paid full price for it.

[EricHVela]

I felt like Mirage was a prologue from a larger story arc about a rather unique memory (as explained in Valhalla).

There's much more to this story (as we know from Valhalla), but Mirage doesn't cover anything beyond showing the main character deciding to take a first step into the journey that'll lead to Valhalla.

I wonder if the medium-well response will kick off more of this story in the future. It would be another break in tradition to have one memory span across several games, but how this memory is happening in Mirage is already a break from tradition.

I want them to keep making an ACTUAL assassin's creed games, about stealth and finding multiple ways of approaching your target and killing them. Mirage is a good example that it's possible, so yeah, would love higher budget, a bit larger, dense, beautiful and stealthy AC game next time too, with memorable protagonist and story.

let's hope we get all of that in Shadows and every other AC game after.
