Assassin's Creed: Mirage is a new addition to the classic franchise. After years of people complaining about the directions Ubisoft took in previous games, Mirage departs from RPG features and returns to the original gameplay seen in the initial entries.

Mirage primarily focuses on stealth gameplay. Although an open world is still present for exploration, main objectives are situated in closed areas where maintaining concealment from enemies is crucial. You can choose to engage in combat, but doing so significantly increases the game's difficulty.

The open world is somewhat generic, offering limited exploration opportunities. Infiltrating certain bases provides an engaging experience, but it becomes repetitive after a few hours.

Regrettably, the story is lacking and becomes progressively worse. After a few hours, I found it so uninteresting that I chose to stop paying attention. The characters lack charisma, and it's the weakest narrative in the franchise.

Honestly, Mirage appears to be a game developed solely to fulfill Ubisoft's agenda. While I understand the commercial aspect of gaming, I failed to discern any artistic justification for its development.

In conclusion, Assassin's Creed: Mirage is a game best avoided. There are similar yet superior options available. I only recommend it if you're curious about experiencing this revival of the franchise's original era. My concern for the future of Assassin's Creed remains significant.

Do you mind going into detail about what you mean by Ubisoft's agenda? Also, side question, but did you name yourself after Leonardo from ACII lol?

I'm not sure if I used the most appropriate word, but what I mean is that I think Ubisoft released this game to fill a gap in its release calendar and cater to fans who wanted a game more similar to the earlier ones. I know games are economic products, but they're also art. In this case, I don't think the development team had any idea that justified the development of this game.

And no, I really am called Leonardo. :)
