  • As of the day this video goes up, AC Mirage has now been out for 6 months. I can't believe it's already been half a year, but now that we've had plenty of time to digest the game, and now that the hype has faded how does AC Mirage feel 6 months later?

      Tbf it's a standalone from Valhalla so yes there is alot missing. They also took those things away n reworked in items from the old formula, still they didn't do enough to warrant the feeling of it being a full game

      I belive it was originally supposed to be Valhalla dlc which makes sense, it’s about Basim and he’s from that game and the whole ending stuff, but they then got a little more budget to make it a standalone. But even then it feels incomplete, too short, and 90% of the cast are just not interesting, there’s 4 good characters, and one of them is a figment of Basims imagination. Idk in a lot of bad ways this game doesn’t live up to the standard that every game has set imo

      I bought it last Friday, and I have only played for maybe 8-10 hours(?)
      I have only done the first Main Target (the one that precedes the gameplay trailer cutscene) yet my PS5 progress percentage says I'm about 60% into the main game.
      It does feel a bit 'short'.

    Mirage is definitely my favorite Assassin's Creed game in a long, long time. Origins is the only game in recent history that comes close, but for me, Mirage captures just enough of that classic gameplay loop nostalgia to beat it.
    Plus, the refocusing on parkour (even with its imperfections and shortcomings) was something I desperately needed in my life, so that really won me over.

    I played it the month it dropped and I was so disappointed. Mirage felt nothing like a traditional AC game other than the setting. They just stripped the RPG elements leaving behind the terrible parkour and making the combat worse. The narrative dropped off a cliff halfway through and they kept the annoying mission structure. It’s a step in the right direction and better than Valhalla at least.

    Solid A tier and definitely a step in the right direction for assassins creed. The only things keeping it from being A+ or potentially S is the length and potentially the Valhalla tie in holding back its parkour. While Baghdad was an amazing city and Bordeaux did a fantastic job with what they had, I wonder how much more it couldve been elevated if they had the old parkour system and weren’t held back by Valhalla’s mechanics.

    5/10 game at absolute best case
    Only things I liked about it is Timeline and where it’s set, Middle East especially during Medieval time is perfect setting for an AC game but that’s all they did good, Basim as a protagonist is bland af, most side characters are forgettable, dialogues and Voice acting is abysmal, facial features especially during cutscenes is even worse than voice acting, combat is very basic, not enough weapons, Parkour is decent that I would give them

  • @johnweaver311
    @johnweaver311 Před 29 dny +2

    As someone who only recently finished his first playthrough, I can say this: It was like 3.6 Roentgen. Not great, but not terrible.
    The whole game itself didn't feel like a full AC game. It felt like what Liberation was to AC3 and Freedom Cry was to Black Flag: a companion game. It took assets that were already there and made a few changes, but nothing spectacular.
    Speaking of things not spectacular, I agree with you in that parkour system was definitely lacking. Basim's moves felt slow and clunky, and the idea to have the sprint button be the left stick like this was CoD was stupid. Assassins either move at full speed with the left stick, or they go into high profile action with RT.
    The combat system was absolute ass. The indicator for light or heavy attacks didn't come until a frame before they attacked, and I was taking damage because I tried to parry a heavy. Eventually, I just gave up on parrying altogether and just treated it like Dark Souls. Dodge and attack until they die. And the few times I did parry, I'd parry one guy, and the guy next to him attacked half a second later, and I got damaged by him because Basim didn't reset in time. Ubisoft needs to bring back the Brotherhood--Rogue combat with kill streaks and counters, all of which made you feel like an unstoppable god of war. And get rid of the stupid stamina bar thing! Basim can endlessly sprint, climb, and swim across the whole of Baghdad--why on earth would he suddenly have cardio issues when fighting?
    I found the outfits to be uninspired and unappealing, with the only one I actually liked being Basim's base outfit, the Initiate of Alamut. There was a sleekness to it yet a comfortable bulk that belayed the physique of a man that was light on his feet but heavy in his hits. The Master outfit made Basim look skinny, and the rest were ugly. The dyes were also boring, with many of them making the outfits even less appealing. However, I see the white Mentor Rahan and the black Initiate outfit herein, and am wondering if those are mods or available in-game as NG+ rewards.
    The talismans were also a wasted opportunity. Instead of giving unique perks, they just dangle and look weird in certain cutscenes.
    Speaking of cutscenes, they sucked. Looked like someone was using strings to manipulate plastic dolls.
    Another criticism is the lack of enthusiasm regarding main targets. Previous games had huge build ups and stories surrounding the targets, and really created the feel that you were gearing up to deliver justice. In Mirage, the main targets felt as important as any other NPC. Just go here and kill them. The lack of oomph surrounding the main targets is another reason why the game felt more like a companion to AC:V than its own installment.
    There were also some gameplay mechanics I didn't like, though these are standard for me regarding RPGs. I think exp and skill points are a stupid way to progress, especially in a franchise like Assassin's Creed. Why can I only have more gadgets on my toolbelt if I buy the skill? Shouldn't tools be included in Alamut basic training? Upgrading by having to spend resources is also dumb. Just give weapons with set states like the previous titles. In short, I don't like RPG mechanics in my Assassin's Creed. Didn't like them in Unity, don't like them now.
    All right, that's everything I didn't like, now for the things I did like. I loved the approach to stealth in the game. Crouching, rolling, and gadgets, all fantastic stuff. The Assassin Focus didn't make any sense lore or gameplay wise, but I think that can be fixed if Ubisoft did it in the same way Rocksteady did Batman's Fear Multi Takedown from Arkham Knight. Instead of Basim teleporting around, the game actually shows him moving at high speeds across the terrain to assassinate targets. Baghdad was also beautiful and easy to traverse despite the shoddy parkour, and the environment was rich with history. Loved reading about Baghdad's history.
    I'm still confused about Basim. I thought he was the villain, the reincarnation of Loki that spent all of Valhalla trying to kill Sigurd and Eivor, whose current motivations are unknown because he's certainly not a real member of the Brotherhood anymore. I thought.
    Overall, though, this game actually felt like Assassin's Creed again, so that was a plus.

The combat could definitely use some work, even going back to the old style that wasn’t hard, but was entertaining. I played ac for the feeling of being an assassin. While Valhalla was a great Viking game, it never felt like an ac game to me. I hope they continue to build from this game and improve to bring us the best version of ac we will see. I even forgot about so many little elements like pulling posters off to lower notoriety because we haven’t had them in such a long time. Overall it definitely wasn’t the best ac game made, but compared to the previous 3, it was definitely a good blast to the past with a touch of modernism.

I'm not ready to say if I like Mirage more than Origins, Unity, Revelations or Odyssey yet, but I do like it more than Valhalla, Black Flag, III, Brotherhood, Rogue & Syndicate. and I *really* like BF & Syndicate. I like the size of the game too. it's not too big and not too small, and the setting is a very a welcome changeup. I'd like more games set in Asia, Africa and Central/South America. I play games to experience new worlds, and I love the AC series for choosing interesting time periods. we have had enough games set in the US and Western Europe. it's for this reason that I'm very curious about AC Jade.
