Despite its faults and playing it very safe, Assassin's Creed Mirage is a step in the right direction for Ubisoft - our review.
After a shaky pivot to RPGs initiated with Origins, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the series trying its hardest to recapture the past. A return to its roots – stealthy assassinations, anonymous skulking through crowds, and nimble tight-roping between rooftops. Gone are the XP levelling system, the virtual walk-in wardrobe’s worth of gear, the gargantuan maps crowded with icons, and the 100+ hours of filler.
You’ll hear passing chatter brought to life in melodious consonant-truncating Arabic, grapple up architectural marvels like the House of Wisdom, and bump into reminders that Baghdad was the centre of the world at the time – astronomy, literature, trade, and much more. Then you start to notice that it feels like you’ve seen similar NPC models before in? Recycled assets coated in that familiar baked AC filter start to grate. A few hours in the stock Ubisoft collect-a-thon takes shape.
It’s a fun loop nevertheless, though a tad uninspired, and very much an activity that pairs well with a podcast or some easy TV. With enemies ganging up on you when you’re detected and the sketchy parry system occasionally having a mind of its own, the game quickly weans you off open combat and almost forces you to use stealth. The satisfaction of a well-timed leap to assassinate a target never wanes, though. That is if you can stomach the sometimes obtuse quest progression requirements.
The tokens are particularly annoying and a shame given they’re intended to add flavour and spice to how you access restricted areas. They are currency for additional help from different factions. Musicians will strike up a tune to distract guards in exchange for a token, or mercenaries will jump in to fight for you. But acquiring them is a faff.
