Assassin's Creed Mirage Reviews
Assassin's Creed's return to the series' roots was more or less successful. There's a lack of good story here, and it doesn't offer a lot of fresh ideas, but as a transition between the last trilogy and the next big game, Mirage is solid entertainment for fans old and new.

I lowered the score a little bit because it was separated from the modern story, a little bit because the track was not as smooth as I wanted to be. But I really cried in this game, friends. I cried because I really missed being the assassin in Assassin's Creed games.

I also don't mean that Assassin's Creed Mirage is a failed attempt. It is a game with quality in several sections and with which players who have been hooked on the series for years will enjoy. It's also for those who miss the series, but prefer to avoid the overwhelming amount of content from the most recent trilogy. However, you will find yourself with a bittersweet drink if you expect it to be the game that manages to revive all those old glories of times that, let's face it, will never return.

Mirage is the Assassin’s Creed many have been waiting for. It pays homage to its roots, bringing with it the challenge and satisfaction of a well-planned and executed stealth assault. It effortlessly blends together the old-school approach with updated design philosophies, a deeper and more immersive game world, and a story that enthralls from start to finish.
Assassin's Creed Mirage offers a return to the roots the series is known for, shedding the RPG elements and massive open world for a more intimate experience. Social stealth and traditional parkour are back, and while they don't offer anything the franchise hasn't seen before, they're complemented by a gorgeous recreation of historical Baghdad. The setting is the true protagonist and offers players something new to experience where the gameplay fails to do so. Fans of the series are sure to be refreshed by this calculated step backwards for the franchise, before it inevitably returns to its massive RPG identity.
Assassin's Creed Mirage takes the series back to where it all began, and while it feels great to take a break from more and more complex RPG gameplay that we've seen in the past few entries, it is not necessarily a step forward for the series as the game becomes too boring too fast. Mirage is still a great action adventure, but maybe a balance between Role Playing gameplay and linear story telling would be what this series need to find its path again.

Assassin's Creed Mirage develops Basim into a well written character and makes following his story enjoyable. Mirage also has a beautiful world where gamers can enjoy Baghdad's amazing structures and using Arabic music helps building a great atmosphere. But gameplay is where Mirage falls short. The game mainly uses the same mechanics from Assassin's Creed Valhalla and it's not a return to roots as it was advertised in prerelease trailers. overall if you're a fan of Assassin's Creed game you will still enjoy Mirage but don't expect anything fresh and revolutionary.

Assassin's Creed Mirage does bring back some good old memories due to its setting and classic structure, but unfortunately it also inherits some serious issues from its predecessors. from inconsistent AI behavior to sporadic screen tear in crowded places. that aside, lack of interesting side quest and side content is also somewhat noticable. nonetheless, it's an acceptable assassin's Creed experience that could entertain us for some hours.

Nice to see another Assassin's Creed game to explain yet another exciting story on another character, well done Ubisoft.
Assassin's Creed went backwards (literally) with Mirage. Even though they have managed to capture Baghdad in a perfect way, yet they failed to deliver a good game on its own.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is an excellent homage to the past and a well-realized title in its own right.

Assassin's Creed Mirage granted a personal wish and carried us to the city of peace, presenting it wonderfully in terms of both visuals and sounds, even though Orientalism was very apparent in the way it depicted its setting and characters. However, the repetitive gameplay loop and the weak enemy AI do weaken the whole experience

In Mirage, Assassin's Creed embarks on an exhilarating journey back to its origins, immersing players in the enigmatic world of Basim, the Baghdad Sleuth. Mirage presents a blend of stealth-focused gameplay within a more intimate urban landscape, where players unravel intriguing mysteries in a city shrouded in secrets.

I'm not sure who's the target audience for Assassin's Creed: Mirage. It goes beyond returning to basics and is just basic. It's not terrible or unplayable, and if you enjoy the core Assassin's Creed gameplay or want a chance to run around Baghdad, it might scratch your itch. The problem is one that I've never had with an Assassin's Creed title before. They have problems, flaws, and issues aplenty, but each one felt like there was ambition behind it. Mirage feels unmemorable and bland and plays like a phoned-in Assassin's Creed title.
Overall, Assassin's Creed: Mirage truly delivered an assassin simulator game that we all loved from the beginning. It is surprisingly a fast-paced game for a game that is known for its stealthy waiting. A game that is genuinely worth its price, a game that I will indeed be playing 'til I platinum it.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a typical Assassin’s Creed game, blending familiar storytelling with moments of entertaining gameplay and some tedious parts. It will please fans who wanted a return to the series' roots, especially with its €50 launch price. However, it also shows that the franchise might benefit more from looking toward the future.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage achieved what it wanted: to appeal to the nostalgia of the first title in the franchise. Linearity, focus on stealth, a more closed map and a shorter campaign, all refer to the first game. However, just like back in 2007, it lacked more care and polish. The experience will certainly please those who miss the old vibe of the franchise, but it may not be a very memorable experience.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage returns the series to its roots with enormous success. Basim’s well-paced journey from street thief to master assassin is full of stealth-focused action and enthralling investigations, and should please fans of the series with its intrigue and heart.
Assassin's Creed Mirage finally seems to have brought the series back to its roots and does so in the best way possible. The story and gameplay are indeed very similar to what made Assassin's Creed so popular when it arrived back in 2007 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, and the new setting and gameplay mechanics clearly focused on pure stealth, although some might turn their noses up at the drastic reduction of RPG elements, work, entertain and convince. In short, Mirage, if like us you loved the first chapters in the saga of first Altair and then Ezio, represents a new direction that is definitely worth experiencing.
