Multiplat Assassin's Creed Mirage - October 5th, 2023.

[gaskin]

By roots I just assumed they meant a smaller compact map rather than a large open world.

Looks positively boring.

Boring setting, boring character, boring story.

I think all you need to know is that it was originally planned as Valhalla DLC and everything from the price to the size and scope of the game reflects that.

AC is a guilty pleasure of mine. The games are like junk food. But this is one of the first times I'm really not interested (last time was Syndicate due to AC burnout). I'll get around to it eventually still.

I know. That's partly why I think it will be boring. Valhalla was ok but could also be pretty dour at times.

Maybe I'll give it a chance someday but it's not one I'm in a rush to get, and I'm sure like you the burnout plays a part in that as well.

The main problem with Odyssey and Valhalla is that they were more 'warriors creed' than 'assassin's creed' and should almost have been a spin-off series. I really enjoyed the settings and time period of both though.

I am looking forward to this tomorrow. After the last three mainline AC games, it will be nice to play a short-ish linear AC game.

Just remember you've got one month to finish it because we've got other plans by then

This is on my to-play over Christmas holidays list. It should be a nice change of pace after the last few AC games and knowing they'll go back to the mammoth quasi-RPG formula again next.

Since it sounds as short of some of the older games in the series, I should be done by Saturday.

I have immortals Fenyx Rising to finish off and have this and Spiderman 2 to try and get done before LAD Gaiden comes out. Don't think I'll be able to, so will need to shelve one.

At least this will be fairly quick.

Just started AC Valhalla today. I will get to this one sometime next year.

Time to head to Steam boards!

Review bomb in 3....2...

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

I'm digging the linear story and play style it's a refreshing change from the last few games that felt overbloated 100 hour games and 100 diffrent skills,weapons etc things to upgrade.

 

[my name was taken]

Played the prologue and through to the title screen so far.

Love it. Can actually play stealth, the cut scenes, cinematics and music are really making it feel like an epic story. The dense urban area makes it feel like the older game. The whole thing feels way more immersive to me.

It's a shame that I think it will get canned for not being 100 hours (already seen a review that said they went back to basics and became basic) , I couldn't finish Valhalla due to large sections being tedious and feeling like a chore, I don't get how that's overly appealing to some but each to their own.

 

[Father Jack]

I just fired up Valhalla again to try and finish off the Paris thing ... dear god that storyline is tedious.

 

[Wrenny]

Enjoying this so far

 

[Mootsy]

Looks positively boring.

Boring setting, boring character, boring story.

Most AC games then, to be fair.

 

[RPCB]

I enjoyed it. Despite it being as long as most AC mainline games (17-20 hours), it definitely did feel like a side story/DLC which is what it was originally intended to be. But all in all, I thought it was a good game and a good change from the last few AC games.

 

[Sixpence]

Just installing it now.

Thought this was interesting:



Looks like Origins paid more attention to detail, which was surprising. Looked it up and Mirage is the first AC (besides Rogue which isn't a mainstream AC game) that hasn't been developed by Montreal/Quebec.

 

[Sixpence]

Just played the Prologue. When they said they're going back to their roots, they meant it literally. It's like they've just given the story and the core source code for Unity/Syndicate to Ubisoft Bordeaux and told them to have at it. Graphics, animations and mechanics all feel like a step back from Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla.

I'll probably still enjoy it, but really feels like they've looked for a cheap way to tell Basim's story.

about halfway through, it reminds me a little bit of AC:Rogue on its scale, which was also a DLC moved into a main line game.

I'm enjoying it. I've completed every mainline game aside from AC:Valhalla (got bogged down maybe ~75% of the way through after getting excalibur and haven't finished it), so its a nice change of pace.

I don't think it is anywhere near as good as origins or odysessy but its not trying to be, its good for what it is.

 

[Constantgin]

Man after good start game just fell flat to me. Finished it only took 20ish hrs only.

Its just a overpriced expansion with a poor story and under developed characters. After you get over the Nostalgia that it feels like a old assassin creed 1 its pretty lacking. Its a game I thought I wanted but in reality I prefer the more longer fleshed out game of Origins + Odyssey.
Return to stealth game was good but otherwise combat is horrible enemies IA doesn't help which is just plain terrible.

Can u upgrade the merchants beyond 30% discount wheb buying?

I see no reason why Ubisoft can’t do both, release big open world AC games and one on a smaller scale like the older games and Mirage.

I’m really enjoying this game, it runs smoothly on quality mode and looks absolutely stunning.

They just needed to stick to what they did with Origins, but they just kept pushing it further and further with Odyssey and Valhalla.
