Assassin's Creed Mirage channels the spirit of older Assassin's Creed games, but that comes with some dated ideas.
Assassin's Creed Mirage MSRP $50.00 Score Details “Assassin's Creed Mirage is a perfectly enjoyable stealth adventure, but it's not the leap of faith the series desperately needs.” Pros Cons As assassin-in-training Basim works to become a Hidden One toward the start of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, he’s scolded by his mentor, Roshan. After asking Basim to make a leap of faith into a pile of leaves, Roshan says it’s clear that Basim’s mind isn’t fully committed.
Beautiful Baghdad Assassin’s Creed Mirage follows the origin story of Basim, a supporting character in 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. It’s a rags-to-riches self-discovery story set in ninth-century Baghdad about a street thief desperate to find great purpose with the Hidden Ones. While that might be an enticing premise for fans of Valhalla, the narrative as a whole isn’t too interesting — especially if you know a lot about Basim already.
Sneaking like it’s 2007 If you played any Assassin’s Creed game between 2007 and 2015, you’ll know what to expect from Mirage. It’s an open-world game stuffed with collectibles that players can search for between missions where the main goal is to investigate, stalk, and then kill targets. I appreciate that this approach means there is an emphasis on stealth rather than bloated RPG elements, even if combat here isn’t as fun as it was in some previous entries.
Not really nonlinear I’d hoped for a bit more originality from Mirage, but it’s newer ideas don’t always pan out. Take its commendable, but imperfect nonlinear gameplay approach. A kernel of an excellent idea for the future of the series is there, as Basim’s targets are laid out across an investigation board and players must discover clues to find them.
