hella fire so far. story not that interesting but gameplay is fantastic

Honestly, Assassin's Creed Mirage feels like a breath of fresh air. Taking it back to basics with stealth, parkour, and the cool assassin stuff in Baghdad? It's awesome! Feels like the old-school AC games, which is such a nice change after the huge worlds in the last few ones. Sure, the fighting isn't the best and the story is kinda predictable, but it's still super fun and a big step in the right direction for the series!

Am I glad that they dialed back on RPG elements? yes. Am I glad that it feels like they dialed back on everything else? no. Having played this series for well over a decade, every new addition feels like one step forward and two steps back. Assassins Creed Unity, while flawed, had so much to offer in terms of versatility and animation that is missing in this entry nearly a decade later. Also I didn't play Valhalla so I didn't understand the ending AT ALL lol

Я чуть не задохнулся в этом душном Багдаде. Одна из тех игр, где короткая длительность идёт только на пользу, иначе осилить местный сюжет трудно. Зато последние 20 минут стоят того.

Honestly this game was kinda shite, but I’m Iraqi so I love it.

A very middling and just okay game. The story is meh, the voice acting was god awful and all the character models didn’t move in any cutscenes so it made the whole thing tedious. I like the back to basics approach of being in Baghdad and exploring the city but it ultimately just felt like a new AC game wearing the flesh mask of an old one. After finishing I immediately traded it in and will probably never play again.
