AC mirage is definitely a throwback to old school assassin creed games which I loved years ago but now, that style feels very dated compared to Valhalla. The environment is boring after a short while. Very little to do outside the city. Valhalla had a good mix of stealth and hand to hand combat, lots of side missions and made it challenging to up gear up but this has none of that, it feels lacking in so many areas. The hand to hand combat is awful which forces you to go stealth every time which gets very repetitive. You literally can’t fight toe to toe at all with a group of enemies.
If you didn’t know better then you would think AC mirage predates Valhalla by a decade or so. AC going back to its roots simply hasn’t worked. This style of AC started to die a death until it got an overhaul. I will think twice before buying the next one which is a shame as I loved assassins creed. Why 1 star? There is simply no comparison to Valhalla. At best this could have been a DLC for Valhalla.
There are two groups of AC fans, the old school and the new school of origins and Valhalla. If you’re old school, you may like it. For all the new school fans. It’s simply rubbish. You have to move with the times and Valhalla style is the future of AC.
