For better or worse, Assassin's Creed Mirage is reminiscent of the older games in the series.
The phrase"identity crisis" has long been tossed around when it comes to Ubisoft's acclaimed and dependable Assassin's Creed series. Gone were the days of slow-and-steady stalks with assassinations largely replaced by brawls and beatdowns fueled not by patience but by gear scores.
Not that much to do in the sense of newness, however, which I suppose is the tradeoff when asking for a return to how things used to be. Assassin's Creed Mirage is familiar to a fault in that it certainly does feel like a game you would've played 10 or so years ago, for better or worse. Parkour still feels weighty and clumsy at times despite the swiftness the assassins boast with Basim continually running up ledgeless walls or taking accidental leaps off of precipices.
But when you do lean into the playstyle Mirage asks of you, the one that longtime Assassin's Creed fans have been pining for, you start to see some of the initial appeal of the series. Upon investigating suspected members of the Order by unearthing clues via infiltration and assassination, you work your way towards the climax of taking down one of those big bads yourself.
