This is why they’ll keep making bad games. They’ve made the bar so low that they don’t even have to make a good game for fans to start complimenting it.
Mirage is honestly my favorite AC, Baghdad is so beautifully detailed & I loved art style, the soundtrack, the story, & just everything about this game.
The reason I bought it a few weeks ago. Seems it’s on sale for quite a while lol. But anyway, it was really enjoyable. Got around 45 hours in the game and finished almost everything, also platinum'ed the game. All I got left to do is to solve the enigmas, but apart from that, I think I did pretty much everything. And it was really enjoyable. Played the first two AC games around ten years ago when I was still a kid and Mirage kinda took me back to old times with the parkour and stealth. So, definitely worth the 25 bucks…
i actually just finished a couple days ago! first half of mirage was kind of mid but second half was really enjoyable. love the story and basim as a character. 8.5/10
Fantastic take. Very thought out. Well done. This was the perfect video for me; I’m debating getting Mirage now that it’s got some decent sales going on. Saw it somewhere for $20. But wasn’t sure. Sounds to me like the developers were listening to the community with this one. Fans said old games, old stealth. We miss that. So this brilliant smaller team designed a combat and gameplay design around filtering your play style into stealth. That three-kill-teleport combo thing is a tool designed for careful planning, reconnaissance, thinning out the heard and then using it to close the gap. In some way I feel like Ubisoft should applauded for listening to the fans who said, quite loud - and I heard it - We Want Stealth AC. And they gave fans that. Smaller - stealth - focused game at cheaper cost
Finished mirage a few weeks ago. It's definitely worth it. The world is absolutely gorgeous, probably top 3 cities ever created for an ac game. The game is consisted of literally almost only assassination missions. You go from one assassination mission to another for almost the entire game so true ac fans will enjoy it. However, because all you do is go from one assassination mission to another the story doesn't really have anything else going on for itself, which makes the story not as great as the older ac games. I was really satisfied with the gameplay, even tho it wasn't perfect. The stealth and combat are really great, however basim's extremely slow assassination animations and the lack of double assassinations don't make the gameplay as fun as it could have really been. As for the parkour, I'd give it a solid 6 or 7. It's not perfect, however the city is so well designed for parkour that it makes up for it. All in all, it's definitely the best game ac game to come out of ubisoft since ac syndicate and definitely worth playing.
It‘s a pretty damn good AC game considering they had to work with what’s been established in Valhalla; the stealth mechanic is arguably the best in the franchise, parkour is decent but can be fun at times, and the setting is just perfect. Imagine if Ubi Bordeaux was given enough budget and development time for a proper main AC title
You should play this game, if you really love the OG AC gameplay. But please, wait for a discount. I bought it pre-order and while I don't have legitimate complaints considering it was still cheaper than the previous main titles, I just found the experience lacking in length. And story presentation really needed better voice acting and animations (facial especially). However, I must say that it was really nice to finally play again like an Assassin with all the tools at disposal. I just replayed Unity last week to finish up the Dead Kings DLC and let me just say, Unity's combat system feels so slow. You could see their movements easily before they hit you. You just die from being overwhelmed. In Mirage you can also get overwhelmed by a lot of enemies but it's much snappier so you can respond better. Though I can't feel much of the impact of Basim's sword slashes. I also appreciate having regular eagle vision available, because today I was playing Origins and lacking the regular eagle visions was such a pain. I hate using the birs to tag enemies.
The game is only short if you rush thru it and don't do the side content like enigmas, lost books and contracts.. I'm 40 hrs in and I still haven't finished them.
I just want a good unique story for ac. I’m not even concerned about gameplay anymore. Ac stories now have been very meh or at least decent but not ever good. origins is like the only recent ac game that had an engaging and interesting story.
It’s not just you. You could switch out screenshots from Origins and this and not sure I could tell the difference. Ubisoft is good at this, making these areas seem fresh and new but often can be similar. I wonder what Shadows will look like. That release, will have some of lush Vahalla landscape I believe, maybe with some cherry trees tossed in and other assets.
Solid game that I can recommend to ac fans who have been wanting traditional stealth. Story isn’t anything crazy and open combat is pretty bad but you should be avoiding open combat for most of your play through anyways. Love the permadeath mode and imo I appreciate the shorter length of the game as it can be something I can just replay whenever I feel like without having to commit hundreds of hours.
I think the reason there’s no irl scenes in mirage is because it was originally planned as the dlc for Valhalla which don’t include those sequences and Bordeaux didn’t have the resources to add t(at and still make a good game.
One of best assassins creed games in awhile, gameplay was a lot of fun had the best stealth, story was mid and setting was good feels a lot like ac 1 a great return to the roots!
@@darknesswave100 agreed same! That is the way to play. I enjoy the open combat in assassins creed as well don’t get me wrong but if that’s all you want to do there’s better games for that like shadow of war. Assassins creed is the king of stealth
The first act and third act was great. The second act, which was the major chunk of the game, felt a little flat because they again gave you a choice of which target to go after. While I appreciate the freedom of choice, it comes at the cost of the pacing. The story slows down until you have eliminated all 4 targets.
Did you know you can add subtitles in the built-in subtitles feature in TH-cam? Not everyone will want subtitles on, so adding them in part of the video is not a good idea. Especially animating ones which are unnecessary and quite distracting.
Bro been awhile since I dropped a comment. Another great video, I think 100k subs will be easy for you to get by next year. I think mirage was good, I think it should have definitely stayed as a DLC but Bordeaux did a great job. Imagine what they can do with a full budget. Looking forward to you continued updates on shadows, fingers crossed it won't be completely shit 😂😂

i got the game when it release and enjoyed the little bit ive played but didnt have time to actually play until a few weeks ago and it had me hooked and at this point it is my favorite game in the series for now so i do recommend playing this year only if you are genuinely interested
@@NAJIONTOP good to hear, honestly Valhalla was my first assassins creed that I actually owned and played, I liked the mythological gods and all so I don’t know what to expect with this game
@@imjussleeping If you are still kid that game would be a part of your childhood and you will love it so much Be yourself and don't listen to people who are spamming about Ezio and Ezio family theme they are so annoying Live your own way ☺️✨
Top AC games of all time in my opinion 1. AC 2 2. AC Brotherhood 3. AC 4 4. AC Mirage 5. AC 3 6. AC Unity 7. AC Revelations (While they may have Assassin Creed elements, I don’t fully recognize the RPG’s as AC games).
As someone who has AC Mirage as number 1, I respect this list I think for me it's 1. AC Mirage (mostly for gameplay. Best in the series imo) 2. Unity (extremely close second. Like if it came out completely fixed and worked all the time this wouldn't even be a conversation) 3. Liberation (they shafted Aveline with a short and underwhelming story but I love the idea of a female assassin who uses disguises the way she does. She deserves better) 4. AC1 (it knew what it wanted to be and went for it, story, gameplay, narrative, worldbuilding, it is the reason we are still getting games to this day. Wish the series would return to this level of quality storytelling/narrative focus. And catch ledge/vault mechanic) 5. AC2 (built upon AC1 beautifully. Everything you would want in a sequel) 6. AC ORIGINS
@@matteolefevre9514 hookblade was fine, didn’t really use the bombs and I didn’t like the tower defense. I was perfectly fine with how they did the recruitment and deployment of assassin recruits in Brotherhood.
Something about this game just couldn’t keep my attention, I honestly have no clue why but I’ve tried to play it 4 separate times now and I usually get to the point where I’ve completed the second investigation quest line and I just lose all interest and desire to keep playing.
I would say yes I got it for half off during the Days of Play and it’s probably my current favorite AC gameplay wise simply because it’s the only true Assassin like AC we have on PS5 that runs at 60fps now if the others ran at 60 other than the RPGs then it would be a different story the story was pretty eh tho
Mirage is fun but I can’t say I’ve replayed it at all. The music is really incredible, it’s obvious how much thought was put into the musical aspect of the game.
Though I was disappointed with how the story went, I do believe you should play Mirage, even in 2024 to do PermaDeath. Especially since people have been complaining that they want Old School Assassin's Creed back, and this game is exactly that.
I finally had enough to purchase the game recently only to find that it doesn't run on my laptop. It's annoying really, but I'm not going to refund the game, if I even can do that. I like to support games that do what I want to see, which is what AC Mirage does mostly. The stealth, listening to the community, setting, and story of the game are reasons I decided to purchase the game.
You'll eventually play it when you get a better rig. Mirage performs quite well. Never experienced any crashes with this game (unlike Valhalla, crashed like 10 times).
For me It is not as good as the old legends of course But It is a good assassin game nonetheless if we consider it going through dumpster fired like Odyssey or Valhalla which were criticised for not being Assassin enough Truth be told yes, the story of we playing as Loki reincarnated and we can teleport and stuff does put off the vibe. But I walk in hoping for an Assassin game And I close my eyes to all that bad stuff and it actually delivered, a story which I get to play as some dude, taken in the brotherhood, trained and slowly move up their ranks If we go by that, it actually delivered us a well assassin game
I would say yes and no. If you expect a story flow from Valhalla, than you will be massively disappointed. But if you cut this loose, it’s a pretty solid and good game to grab on sale day 🤷♂️
I can't complain about Mirage. I barely got 60 hours on Mirage and I'm already getting bored. It's a very shallow game, but at least it didn't cost me a fortune..... and it was available on PS4.
While Mirage did deliver on the bare minimum feel for an Assassin's Creed game (assassins robes, parkour, killing templars), I feel that it was really far from a "return to roots" and was lacking in so much. The entire section where Basim is training with Roshan always bugs me because the minute he dives into the sea, the next moment, he is a few days into training. A lot of the "training" was basically just a cutscene montage too. I felt the entire thing was a wasted opportunity. Basim was a street thief who believed in justice for those stomped on, I want to know what the Creed and being an assassin means to him. It was all such a waste. Basim also doesn't really learn anything or change as a person (I'm not talking about discovering the ginni loki thingy) The parkour, while a slight improvement from Valhalla and aided by the setting, is by no means a "return to roots". People always say that the parkour should follow Unity's but I beg to differ. Unity's parkour was flashy, but the player control and freedom was terrible. If anything, a true return to roots would have followed the parkour mechanics of AC1-ACR. Then, to improve it, add the flashiness of Unity. As for the story, I felt it was meh at best. Basim's goal is discovering about the Ginni but honestly, I felt that should have been an entire side content/DLC. What made the story of Altair, Ezio and Edward so compelling was discovering what the Creed means to them, what being an assassin means to them, how their lives have changed as a result and how they changed lives as Assassins. Mirage was a perfect opportunity for this as Basim is a street thief. He looks up to the Hidden Ones as people who fight for the oppressed. There are times where he (and Nehal) questions the Creed which I really like, but I wish that had more of an impact and role in the story. Stealth I feel is the only thing I really liked about Mirage. For those who are considering getting Mirage, I feel you will enjoy it if you just like the bare minimum feel of being an Assassin, without caring for good writing (You would prob like Unity or Syndicate too to an extend)
Personally I love Mirage, I've been wanting something like this for a long time. Sure it's not perfect, the AI doesn't work well and the animations are dreadful but aside that it's just so fun to play. Top 5 for me
@@UnivingIshiro I should study about the Arabic music of the golden age of Islam Maybe another era of music would be made by me because I love music ☺️✨
Great game. It’s Ubisoft saying yes we still know how to make Assassin games. But are they going to learn from their time making Mirage and focus on these things in their other games? Who knows. AC in the gaming industry has become exactly just as lost as Star Wars in the film industry. And just like Disney, Ubisoft is a snake and tries to trick players with bait and switch / nostalgia bait tactics into sticking with the series.
Refunded it Day one after playing 1 hour. Its on for $30 something canadian right now, so I think I'll grab it now. No ubi game is worth full price, ever.
Short answer: Yes. Yes. And yes. Long answer: I just beat it on permadeath mode. I'm on the verge of platinuming it. I'm still discovering and learning to master its systems. From a gameplay perspective, it is my favorite game in the entire series (extremely high praise, considering it used to be Unity/Liberation, which are extremely close seconds) it has the strongest combination of all 3 pillars of Assassin's Creed gameplay (stealth, combat, parkour) though the parkour is modest in comparison to the older games, when you master it you can make it look and feel great. And it's even better now that they buffed side/back ejects. There are youtube guides by Dallin and *Wary Bubbles* (especially Wary) that can teach you how to make it more consistent. For context, I have never played Valhalla, and I genuinely have no desire to. (Never getting his original robes smh)
Honestly, if they called the Hidden Ones "Assassins" and the Order "Templars," I think people would actually like it more lol. A think a lot of what AC fans _want_ can be quite shallow.
So I'm thinking of getting dis game or ac valhalla dis will be my first time playing an AC game. Which game should I get & do I need to play other past AC games to understand it
It only really links together from AC1 to AC3. After that, there's not much correlation.. I would recommend to play from AC2 if you want a great story. AC Black Flag for the best pirate game story. AC Unity for best gameplay. AC Origins for best open world game.
Pls Ubisoft do not listen to the hate. This game is actually insane if you put the time in to understand the controls. The parkour is fluent and allows for full player freedom if you understand how it works. I think it’s better than Unity’s tbh.
The unfortunate reality of Assassin's Creed as a series is that *every* single game falls short in some way. This series has so much unreached potential that no game ever fully achieves. This series never got it's Arkham City, or it's Spiderman Web of Shadows, so to speak. Thus this series is one to be tolerated, never celebrated, because of how much you have to endure to enjoy it. (bugs, wonky control schemes, antiquated systems, broken/unpolished mechanics, backwards evolution, an overarching narrative that's lost it's way, an executive team that's too scared to fail and too driven by numbers/investors and not enough by genuine player feedback, etc) Another long winded way of saying if you really like AC then yes play Mirage. Price be damned. Vote with your wallet. Tell Ubi this is what we want. They (the execs making decisions) don't care about our complaining, they care about numbers.
I just hate in Mirage the game feels soo slow paced, as in when im running across the city or having guards chase you, it feels as if youre running slowly and getting nowhere it just put me off the game
I played Mirage and moved on. For me as a long time AC fan I just felt like the overall quality and story is mid at best. This game convinced me to never buy another Ubisoft game at full price… unless the reviews are off the charts.
I was really content with Mirage. Easily one of the best AC games we’ve had in a while.
One of the ACTUAL “assassins” creed games we’ve had in awhile
Definitely yeah
pretty low bar though
"game"
This is why they’ll keep making bad games. They’ve made the bar so low that they don’t even have to make a good game for fans to start complimenting it.
Mirage is honestly my favorite AC, Baghdad is so beautifully detailed & I loved art style, the soundtrack, the story, & just everything about this game.
right with you
Without doubt
"dlc"
bruh lol 🧢
should try the original games.
Ubisoft Bordeaux needs to make a thomas de carneillon game
I think/ hope they are making AC1 remake though
FRR, thats what im saying
Fuck yeah! With the unity engine in paris it would be bad ass to have in the fall of the knights templars!
@@matteolefevre9514 I don't know why they're making a black flag remake it still holds up AC1 really needs a remake
I think that time period would be better as a Templar game
Can’t believe this game didn’t get full financial support from Ubisoft yet the studio managed to serve a well put together game.
It's a test for Ubisoft Bordeaux
I think it's a pretty good AC game
Closest game to AC2, Brotherhood and Revelations imo.
It's basically root assassin creed game
AC3, 4, Rogue, Unity, and Syndicate were all closer imo 😅
@@proscons6345rogue was amazing
Finished it yesterday, felt like a good meal. Easily one of my favorites.

It is a good assassin game nonetheless if we consider it going through dumpster fired like Odyssey or Valhalla which were criticised for not being Assassin enough
Truth be told yes, the story of we playing as Loki reincarnated and we can teleport and stuff does put off the vibe. But I walk in hoping for an Assassin game
And I close my eyes to all that bad stuff and it actually delivered, a story which I get to play as some dude, taken in the brotherhood, trained and slowly move up their ranks
If we go by that, it actually delivered us a well assassin game
I would say yes and no.
If you expect a story flow from Valhalla, than you will be massively disappointed.
But if you cut this loose, it’s a pretty solid and good game to grab on sale day 🤷♂️
after playing Valhalla
Mirage does feel Old School AC Game
Mirage has my favorite map in the franchise, i just love a middle eastern setting, it just doesn't do anything remarkably unique
It’s a good game but definitely wasn’t worth the $70-80 when it first came out. Seemed like just an expansion game. It’s not long at all
Absolutely. In my top 5.
I can't complain about Mirage. I barely got 60 hours on Mirage and I'm already getting bored. It's a very shallow game, but at least it didn't cost me a fortune..... and it was available on PS4.
While Mirage did deliver on the bare minimum feel for an Assassin's Creed game (assassins robes, parkour, killing templars), I feel that it was really far from a "return to roots" and was lacking in so much.
The entire section where Basim is training with Roshan always bugs me because the minute he dives into the sea, the next moment, he is a few days into training. A lot of the "training" was basically just a cutscene montage too. I felt the entire thing was a wasted opportunity. Basim was a street thief who believed in justice for those stomped on, I want to know what the Creed and being an assassin means to him. It was all such a waste. Basim also doesn't really learn anything or change as a person (I'm not talking about discovering the ginni loki thingy)
The parkour, while a slight improvement from Valhalla and aided by the setting, is by no means a "return to roots". People always say that the parkour should follow Unity's but I beg to differ. Unity's parkour was flashy, but the player control and freedom was terrible. If anything, a true return to roots would have followed the parkour mechanics of AC1-ACR. Then, to improve it, add the flashiness of Unity.
As for the story, I felt it was meh at best. Basim's goal is discovering about the Ginni but honestly, I felt that should have been an entire side content/DLC. What made the story of Altair, Ezio and Edward so compelling was discovering what the Creed means to them, what being an assassin means to them, how their lives have changed as a result and how they changed lives as Assassins. Mirage was a perfect opportunity for this as Basim is a street thief. He looks up to the Hidden Ones as people who fight for the oppressed. There are times where he (and Nehal) questions the Creed which I really like, but I wish that had more of an impact and role in the story.
Stealth I feel is the only thing I really liked about Mirage.
For those who are considering getting Mirage, I feel you will enjoy it if you just like the bare minimum feel of being an Assassin, without caring for good writing (You would prob like Unity or Syndicate too to an extend)
I played 3 hours, the game is crap tbh, dialog is awful. Feels catered to children tbh
I dont think its on steam so il wait for the official release thank you.
Playing on my iPhone and definitely refreshing
Personally I love Mirage, I've been wanting something like this for a long time. Sure it's not perfect, the AI doesn't work well and the animations are dreadful but aside that it's just so fun to play. Top 5 for me
How about the music
I'm really putting it number one in the whole franchise
@@NAJIONTOP music is definitely top on the list
@@UnivingIshiro
I should study about the Arabic music of the golden age of Islam
Maybe another era of music would be made by me because I love music ☺️✨
@@NAJIONTOP same, but I wanna know more about the Arabs in general. They are fascinating!
Can you do some nexus content plz
I actually quite enjoyed playing mirage. Don't get me wrong wasn't amazing but still had some fun elements
The best one we have since syndicate
Great game. It’s Ubisoft saying yes we still know how to make Assassin games. But are they going to learn from their time making Mirage and focus on these things in their other games? Who knows. AC in the gaming industry has become exactly just as lost as Star Wars in the film industry. And just like Disney, Ubisoft is a snake and tries to trick players with bait and switch / nostalgia bait tactics into sticking with the series.
I would definitely enjoy this game if epic game stop messing up everytime i boot the game up
Refunded it Day one after playing 1 hour. Its on for $30 something canadian right now, so I think I'll grab it now. No ubi game is worth full price, ever.
Basim isn't a superhero, he's literally a fucking god!
it's for sale for $24 on the Xbox store! I'm not too impressed by shadows.
First half was really awesome but second half was boring and story dulled out . Gameplay was quite good.Should be more story focused.
Short answer: Yes. Yes. And yes.
Long answer: I just beat it on permadeath mode. I'm on the verge of platinuming it. I'm still discovering and learning to master its systems. From a gameplay perspective, it is my favorite game in the entire series (extremely high praise, considering it used to be Unity/Liberation, which are extremely close seconds) it has the strongest combination of all 3 pillars of Assassin's Creed gameplay (stealth, combat, parkour) though the parkour is modest in comparison to the older games, when you master it you can make it look and feel great. And it's even better now that they buffed side/back ejects. There are youtube guides by Dallin and *Wary Bubbles* (especially Wary) that can teach you how to make it more consistent.
For context, I have never played Valhalla, and I genuinely have no desire to. (Never getting his original robes smh)
Ngl I really tried to like mirage, not a bad game at all but for some reason it just doesn’t keep me hooked and wanting to play
The music
Dishonored has the best stealth of all games i have played imo
Mirage was fun 😅kinda wish it was a longer game after all I beat it in 2 days 😂
Honestly, if they called the Hidden Ones "Assassins" and the Order "Templars," I think people would actually like it more lol. A think a lot of what AC fans _want_ can be quite shallow.
is it worth to play origins in 2024 for 8 euros
Why not? It on sale regularly and it dirt cheap
I still think they could have added more content to those empty areas outside Baghdad. The game is just too short.
So I'm thinking of getting dis game or ac valhalla dis will be my first time playing an AC game. Which game should I get & do I need to play other past AC games to understand it
It only really links together from AC1 to AC3. After that, there's not much correlation..
I would recommend to play from AC2 if you want a great story. AC Black Flag for the best pirate game story. AC Unity for best gameplay. AC Origins for best open world game.
Pls Ubisoft do not listen to the hate. This game is actually insane if you put the time in to understand the controls. The parkour is fluent and allows for full player freedom if you understand how it works. I think it’s better than Unity’s tbh.
Ac mirage is just a $60 Valhalla dlc Ubisoft just wanted ur money
There is pickpocketing in ac3, you can even pickpocket sand and milk there
Didn't ts come out last year?!?! 😭
The unfortunate reality of Assassin's Creed as a series is that *every* single game falls short in some way. This series has so much unreached potential that no game ever fully achieves. This series never got it's Arkham City, or it's Spiderman Web of Shadows, so to speak. Thus this series is one to be tolerated, never celebrated, because of how much you have to endure to enjoy it. (bugs, wonky control schemes, antiquated systems, broken/unpolished mechanics, backwards evolution, an overarching narrative that's lost it's way, an executive team that's too scared to fail and too driven by numbers/investors and not enough by genuine player feedback, etc)
Another long winded way of saying if you really like AC then yes play Mirage. Price be damned. Vote with your wallet. Tell Ubi this is what we want. They (the execs making decisions) don't care about our complaining, they care about numbers.
I just hate in Mirage the game feels soo slow paced, as in when im running across the city or having guards chase you, it feels as if youre running slowly and getting nowhere it just put me off the game
not until it released on steam😢
It’s way too early to be doing videos like this, for Mirage. The game is the latest in the franchise, so, it’s probably what people will play anyhow.
I played Mirage and moved on. For me as a long time AC fan I just felt like the overall quality and story is mid at best. This game convinced me to never buy another Ubisoft game at full price… unless the reviews are off the charts.
Graphics look kool
I just found out this game even existed, I thought Valhalla was the last one
Mirage looks like origins sequel
Just finished it yesterday, currently in my top 10 game list
After the hype is gone for the game, mirage is forgettable at best.
Still waiting for Steam release
