A game I have been playing
Assassin’s
Creed Mirage on the PlayStation 5
Assassin’s Creed Mirage! Yes, we got another Assassins
Creed’s game and by god, hopefully, we will keep getting them until the
end of time, A-fucking-men!
Anyway, Mirage, set in the ninth-century Baghdad period, just a
few decades before the events of Assassin’s
Creed Valhalla. In this game, you play as Basin who played a
critical role in the events of Assassin’s, Creed Valhalla. This game is
basically his origin’s story if you will, going from street thief to
apprentice to master assassin. Mirage was intended to be an Assassin’s
Creed Valhalla DLC but it somehow became its own game. That said, it
does feel a little like a DLC as is not as full of “features” as
Valhalla or other entries.
With Mirage, they’re trying to take it back to the original roots
of the franchise, making it less of a massive open-world thing, and more
of a contained area, so is going to feel a lot smaller compared to
Valhalla or other recent AC games. So this one it’s focused more on
narrative, and character development and with the stealth parkour action
that we all know and love.
It does have an Assassin’s Creed One feel to it, like you’re back
plain as Altair, but much with a fresher look and up-to-date gameplay
mechanics. I liked how they brought back the notoriety level, or at
least that’s how I think of it. The more you fight out in the open the
more notoriety you earn making the guards and other enemies more aware
of your presence and the way to lower your notoriety is by bribing
people or getting rid of wanting posts. Oh! And the throwing daggers!
Such a fan of using those.
Instead of hunting for armor pieces like in other AC games, you
get full outfits which is nice. The one thing that I can’t stop thinking
about and in some way bothers me a bit is that even though the world
isn’t big, there’s a lot of “empty space” on the map, so lately, I’ve
been just exploring around and finding random stuff. Makes me wonder if
Ubisoft is planning for some DLCs in the future or if this is just it.
