Assassin's Creed Mirage Review

- Assassin's Creed Mirage reviewed by Jarrett Green on PlayStation 5, also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s return to the stealthy style that launched this series doesn’t do everything right, but everything it does feels like it was done with purpose. This means a shorter game with a smaller map, fewer collectibles, smaller scope in combat, and a limited selection of gear to play with - all of which is refreshing relative to the arguably bloated scale of 100-hour games like Odyssey and Valhalla. It’s easy to recommend Mirage to anyone who’s lapsed on Assassin’s Creed, as its back-to-basics approach is a successful first step in returning the feeling that the earlier industry-defining games gave us so long ago.
My main issue with Mirage is how Basim is meant to be the fastest assassin ever lived. The fancy multi assassination where you just teleport is meant to represent the Animus failing to render because he's just moving too goddamn fast. Cool and all, but he runs so slow, he climbs so slow, and the time it takes to assassinate one dude to the next is just way too slow for the fastest assassin.
There's nothing worse than running away from the guards and then only to find yourself stuck standing on a pot like a sitting duck 💀
It’s a game, his speed isn’t mentioned the teleportation is just be a cool ability in the game
@@SamLewis18 Yeah because altait and ezio could do that
The whole game makes no sense not just that lol
@@FREEPALESTINEFTRTTS Atleast it represents us well
This game is perfect for the gamer who doesn’t want that 100 hr game but is just simple to the point - looks amazing love the basics
Yes, but we all want those 100 hr games. Even you.
@@SpaceCatttttwho’s we?
@@SpaceCatttttNo we don't.
@@SpaceCattttt not every game has to be a 100hrs to be fun
Like holding Y to collect things and pressing Y to picpocket things. Like.... previous games kept things more interesting. Especially Unity and Syndicate
An Assassin’s Creed game that plays like Hitman might just be awesome. No requirements, just opportunities and numerous ways to assassinate the target. ❤
Then what's the difference in Ac and hitman?
@@thelastpersononearth9765well lots of people see Hitman as the ultimate stealth game, so AC taking elements from Hitman is not a bad thing.
No it’s not awesome
We wanted a game like odyssey
@@12gmkk29 I'm pretty sure it was quite obvious for a while that Mirage was going to be nothing like Odyssey
AC Syndicate had more open ended assassination levels
All they really need is a compelling story at this point, and Assassins Creed could really become a heavy hitter again. Imagine they take this stealth format to the next game, in a setting like ancient Japan, and bring in some writers who have something special. That could be Ubisoft's best selling game in the last 8 years.
Lol no it wouldn't be. Isn't valhalla their best selling game? And that game is bloated and mediocre
@@lum1notryc828 no actually their best selling game is not AC games, and the best selling AC game is black flag.
Japan setting is going to be the Origins/Odyssey style of gameplay.
@@qwertyuiop5613Valhalla is the best grossing ac game. At over $1b
@@qwertyuiop5613 Thought it was Valhalla? The best selling has to be something like R6 or Far Cry
It's an 8! You're welcome
Hahaha😂
Spoiler -_-
Why do people keep doing these spoilers and not let us watch the review. 🔔end!
Nobody asked you
Where's the spoiler police when you need 'em
It's not THAT score this time, guys. It's that score +1
Yeah but.. recently 8/10 is slowly becoming the new "THAT" score
It's definitely one of the games of all time
People forget that there are 6 other numbers below that. "That number +1" is still effectively 50% in their eyes.
@@serj2594inflation and that
Woah vida animada, you are here.
This game feels like it was made for me in all its decisions, looks like a plain old simple fun ac game
Yea we are all just here in the Truman show that is your life !

@@swin3y bro is unfunny
There was nothing better than being outnumbered by multiple guards and picking each one off with a finisher every time you parried. It's this classic AC combat style that has me very excited!
literally same concept as Odyssey and Vallhalah (though excecution seems worse)
@@Guy_podI think you mean “back to basics”. To see how truly skilled you were at AC came down to how quickly and efficiently you could assassinate your target, and how well you could “instant kill” multiple guards with a perfect parry. Playing through AC 2 and ONLY using the 2x hidden blades for combat (when you’re surrounded) and coming out unscathed…ya, THAT is AC.
How do you do a finisher? Does it come later because the game hasnt mentioned it for me so far.
@@markwallis5395enemies have a stamina bar, once out of stamina and low health, they’re done for
The combat is dogshit in this game
Big fan of the decision they made to sell this for a lower price being as it’s a shorter game 👍 if a game is only 20ish hours long it should not cost $70+
S$68
Valhalla is way bigger, yet it still doesn't feel worth 70$.
This was a dlc ffs
@@hahamaninthat would not stop a lot of developers - it’s 20+ hours of content, they would charge full price if it was being released as a stand alone game 🤷♂️
Quality > quantity.
Buddy of mine beat it in 2 days. I've got 10hrs playtime but just can't get into Mirage. Great graphics and soundtrack. My buddy agrees with me that Odyssey is the best AC game.
They need to make another ancient Greece AC. Kassandra (if you played with her), lived for a few thousand years. They could easily create another game with her.
Odyssey was the best AC game
If this is a trial for the next game with a compelling story, I'm all in for it.
The stealth combo ability is more like the chained stealth kills you could do in Ghost of Tsushima rather than Red Dead
Have You Played batman akarhm knight bro?
Have you guys played Shadow of Mordor. This is exactly that
Red dead? Uh okay
More like arkham knight
Tsushima looked smother & had no teleport lmao
7:03 is a fantastic kill animation. It’s been a while since AC has had challenging combat.
6:47 > 7:03
@@darksentinel216 7:03 is much better kid
Since when?
@@darksentinel216agreed it's much cooler
@@yea.2190 Thanks man someone who understands
Really needed to point this out
Shohreh Aghdashloo(Roshan voice actress) also voiced an admiral in the Mass Effect series and also played a vital role in the "dopest" SciFi series "The Expanse"
A very memorable woman in my typical nerd memories
Cant forget she also played a pretty important role in S4 of 24. Definitely has some longevity in the entertainment industry
An voiced an enforcer in Arcane
@@QuayNemSorr Yeah yeah....I forgot 😂 The enforcer who was friends with the girls foster father.... forgotten his name
@@istofar560 Vander
She has a coarser voice than most men.
However...my 258 hours of exploring Ancient Greece to Platinum AC Odyssey (duing the pandemic of course) were ALL worth it, one by one.
We need a re-release of AC Unity. Would be so nice on current gen at 60fps with updated lighting, etc.
Ubisoft doesn't listen to us no matter how much we like this series smh
Unity already looks better than mirage
Love the fact we can actually fight as an assassin instead of simply block and kill
You could always fight as an assassin, but nice try kid. You ALWAYS had that option
@@jonathansoko1085ikr? People talking as if they didn’t have it in the latest trilogy. We just had more options than stealth. Now we don’t have as many thanks ti those complainers.
Lmao the gameplay is literally block, dodge, and kill though
Absolute dogshit combat these games have had since forever.
Ubisoft is a very jack of all trades, master of none type of publisher. Not even close to master either. Closer to dogshit.
At least this is an improvement
@@notimetothink6786damn right. The mythical trilogy actually gave us a lot of new options in term of play styles, and how grindy/easy do we want things to be. But no, people hate options and gameplay freedom for some reasons.
When Assassins Creed games began bloating into 100 hour collectathons and such the series really began to lose its identity, glad to see they’re scaling things back and returning to the series roots.
Please can we have a Splinter Cell 🙏
no
@charlescabbage2933 yes.
It would be an absolute mess. Just let it die with dignity.
They should leave Splinter Cell alone. Look what they did to Prince of Persia. Leave it alone.
And PoP
Black Flag will never be beaten
Assassins’s Creed 2**
Odyssey*
That game was very mid imo
@@flizzy4645I wouldn’t trust somebody like u
Brotherhood*
The characters look so lifeless compared to older games lol. Their eyes stare off into the abyss
The NPCs and open world would be boring and uninspired for 2014
How is it that ubisoft been making those games for like 10 years and Ghost of tsushima comes out and has way way superior combat and stealth
because ubisoft doesnt care about quality
Because this was a dlc
because they release a new game almost every year, which means quantity over quality, and also to be fair the AC games feature insane environments which probably take up a lot of the development time and budget
@@ElGalgoNegrouh no ghost has way better combat than ac2
Combat. Sure. Stealth is about the same.
A major selling point of earlier games was the kill animations, which Ubisoft doesn't seem to quite understand. Some of my favorite moments in the AC series were experimenting with the different weapons and the wide variety of kill animations and combinations you can do in AC3.
The little "combo" you can do to quickly kill two enemies is an easy opening for some sick animation of your character smoothly transitioning from one enemy to another as the skilled swordsman they're trying to convince us he is, but instead you just..teleport from one enemy to the next, starting a completely different (or same) animation afterwards.
No one gives a damn about kill animations
@@SuperScarabyes they do
@@SuperScarabyes, they really do.
In terms of kill animations, even tho it was pre-rendered, Bayek putting that mask with the knife on the one dudes face in the beginning of the game will always be one of my favorite kills in AC. Bayeks English voice actor really sold that performance tbh.
Games journalism is busted if this game is an 8 lmao
This is making me so happy! I’m glad they finally decided to go back to deeper stealth mechanics, that we can FINALLY kill anyone with one hit of the hidden blade (the way it worked the in previous entries was terrible), that they decided to create a smaller city and that the game is shorter. Can’t wait to try it out!
I'd rather have a small dense city than a vast barren land.
Really wish we had a Prince of Persia trilogy Remake (Sands of time, Warrior Within and Two Thrones) with the same treatment Demon Souls, Dead Space and Resident Evil games had instead of releasing a new Assassin's Creed reskin every year
You call this a reskin even after the reviewer has said it's a departure from the past few games. But I'm with you on the PoP games. Especially the first one.
Sand of time did get a remake. But it's s*** tho....
great game for a 2015 release.....
Exactly 😂
Can't believe they went from unity to this
@@Bruce_Black unity overrated
@@dfgffdvfvvf7909 nope, underrated infact if the story was better it would have been the best ac game.
Untiy glazer 🤦🏽♂️@@Bruce_Black
Just completed Valhalla, (120hours) in.
And was curious about mirage. Seems interesting, since Valhalla's ending was pretty intense with basim.
Odyssey is my favorite version hands down.
I'd say Basim's multi assassination is more like Batman's Fear multi-takedown in Arkham Knight instead of Deadeye
Mirage is really showing just how far you can push the graphics capabilities of the PS2.. truly innovating
Visual design is far more important than graphical fidelity. Game looks amazing.
The issue with recent AC games is that there is another title that pretty much improved their formula in every way.. and they can't surpass it anymore.. (ghost of tsushima)
Are you sure? The recent AC games have all been trying to emulate the witches 3 as an open world RPG? GoT is a stealth action game it has nothing in common with games like valhalla
@@GamingOpinions yeah they didn't know what to do with thr stealth action genre so they went full action rpg. Only to realize fans wanted something like the ogs
@@GamingOpinionsyou are proving his point lol
Wait until code red
Not for PC tho. Ghost of Tsushima is still ps exclusive, so...
bringing back the old style of ac with the new things that they have added over the years looks really interesting 😮
Nhh its Valhalla in AC1 robes
It's not interesting in any way.
@@Rexident97 its literally what he said, so whats your point
@@Navefreamo you're a hater, your opinion doesn't count
Ubisoft is unparalleled in there attention to detail when building these cities and landscapes over the last few Assasins Creed games. Absolutely beautiful.
Rockstar, CD project red , naughty dog , plenty do detail better lol
Play better games tard
When the Church of Notre Dame was burned badly, they reached out to Ubisoft for help in its design for rebuilding, that kind of detail.
@@magnificusdominusduxchad4229cd project has cardboard energy
@@IGOBYTHENAMELOVETroll
As someone that's played a few assassin's creed games on and off since the first, this looks no different to any of the previous entries to me. Glad the OG stealth fans get their stealth fix!
Course it looks no different to you because you just said you’ve played a few.
@@JRPG1191Think you're missing the point that Ubisoft have been desperately trying to convince the fanbase that Mirage was going "back to their roots" and moving away from the recent RPG style gameplay we've seen in the last few games. Yet, here we are with another Origins/Odyssey clone.
Let us turn off chromatic aberration and the visuals will massively improve. Thankfully they are working on this.
Looks like a fun buy once a sale hits it.
4:28 is that really the running speed?
valhalla running animation
It’s the jogging speed not sprinting speed
The one thing we can't ignore is how they didn't opt for unitys parkour which was crisp and smooth
AC Unity parkour was definitely not smooth, lol.
@@_Cetarialit was
they would have had to switch engines. this is the valhalla game hence why the parkour is identical to valhalla
Bro they moved on from unity system and engine like 10 years ago they’re not gonna re use assets from an old game that’s literally like if they went back and implemented AC3/4 style animation based combat for mirage
@@EternalNightingale they actually should have done that and just polished it with new animations and graphics. The AC3/AC4 combat system was clean asf. the RPG engine is so bad
Need Desmond’s story to somehow continue. The initial storyline was so dope then fizzled out.
Did you beat Valhalla? It seems like that’s the route Ubisoft is going
@@almightyxay1977 nah was kinda turned off after origins. I’ll check it out tho thanks.
This is how an assassins creed game should be. Idk why they turned to RPG elements
@@ox_trueprotagonistchrisred9085true
You should see the ending of Valhalla, it might just be what you want
It really looks nice and simple! Great to play in some downtime if theres no new film or series to watch ❤👍
Consooommmmmm
One of my favorite AC games is probably still Odyssey. Hope to play mirage soon during winter break
Played ODYSSEY 3000h😂😂😂...
Shame they seem to have removed Valhallas dismemberment in combat, which was a great and impactful addition to AC combat.
Yes, but still much better than Valhalla's combat mechanics
@@herogamerbr12 Still shouldn't have removed gore
@@erso_returned2530well it would be quite difficult to cut of limbs with dagger and sword looking at basim fighting style he rather goes for stabby stab than slice and dice
@@Jasonboy765 BRING ON THE DISEMBOWELMENT
That wouldn't fit the theme of this game. It worked for valhalla because they were vikings which were known for being barbaric and savage.
I'm very surprised reading some of these comments, I've played every single AC that's ever come out and for me this feels like a return to the series roots, what are people's main complaints about it? Really enjoying it so far.
Zero innovation. People feel like they are playing the same game over and over. There’s just nothing new that hasn’t been done before better
@@TheTregan that’s fair
@@TheTregan Sorry but Odyssey & Valhalla aren't innovation either. All they're doing is recreating the games original identity & slapping the same title on it. You want traditional RPG's go play The Witcher 3 or Dragon Age or somethin along those lines & stop trying to ruin everyone else's fun!
The amount of overhype this game is getting is crazy. Ubisoft somehow has downgraded certain aspects from AC1 back in 2007 and people are still saying “this game is beautiful”. Goes to show standards are so low because developers have been pushing out terrible games lately.
It's just a fancy of what should be a Valhalla DLC.
AC Origins and Odyssey is always my top #2
Same
But there exactly the same game 😂
@@MJ-420. they’re* and one is in greece and other in egypt with completely different story lines, they’re definitely not exactly the same LMAO.
Developers are finally starting to realize that we dont care about the biggest maps. What we want is quality and density. They could improve with the story next time.
Me too that’s why I’m playing again
Stoked to see old school AC back
its not old chool with that new shitty combat system
@@larsonpartisan2855some of y"all are never happy with anything and it shows
Oohhh yes!
@@neverEndingvoid525exactly. Crying like some cheap, diseased hoes 😂😂😂
@@neverEndingvoid525 He's not wrong
The best Assassin's Creed game ever has yet to be created and I'm excited for it. Just combine the best mechanics of all the past versions and insert a great story! Almost there
The first assassins creed game in years that's actually an assassins creed game and not a bloated RPG
The new IGN scale is 7-10
So they gave it a rating 2/4
They expained this. They don't aim to review games that will frequently be lower ranking games.
Exactly, RARELY utlizing 1-6. As such their scores are actually inflated. A 5 gets a 7, 6 game gets a 8, a 7 game gets a 9.
So what’s your point ?…
Staff field 7 😂
No complaining!
You all complained that it was too long now people complain that it's too short.
Exactly!!!
I'm not and maybe, just maybe it's not the same people. There is a clear clash between fans of bloated long rpg and people who want a true AC game again.
@@rd_2113 thank you Captain.
Literally nobody is complaining about the length of the game. Stop scrounging for likes.
This is my first time ever playing Assassin's Creed and I'm in love with this game!
Play Odyssey. It’s HUGE
Don’t play Odyssey
don't play odyssey play AC2 then black flag thank me later
Try Black Flag, the best AC for me
Play them in order
Seeing this just makes me want to go back and play Origins again. Origins has a special place in my heart.
Orgins waa better had a bigger map
@@frozenlama23ya a map that was empty af lol
@@alexj7406 this map is basically the same thing lol
Origins me first ever AC game, loved it. Will start this tomorrow
Origins and syndicate for me
This is not a true reimagining of old school AC, this is Valhalla made to look like one, it's obvious from every angle this was a DLC.
I’m really glad for a shorter and more focused game however they really need to make some changes to the game. It still looks exactly the same as Origins and everything after that. It’s time for new animations, new gameplay mechanics, improved facial animations etc etc.
They need to bring back the guild system management stuff.....
Downgrade not bringing it....
Can we talk about how bad the cutscenes are? AC brotherhood had better and that game was made in 2010. It crazy to see the difference in quality between Mirage and AC games like Unity,Syndicate, and Origins.
back to its old roots. and what made AC for what it was....excellent. very excited over this franchise now!!!!
They need to remaster the one that was in London. That is one of my favorites.
Finally real assassin's Creed is back
engine is so old tsk tsk
It really makes you *feel* like an assassins creed mirage
Ubisoft engine needs updating there is something about character models that feels plastic even the body movements just feel off
Funny how so many people talk about new releases as though they’re old news when you haven’t even received your preorder yet
Disappointed by the combat and stamina system. Thought overall it was meh, definitely didn’t think it was an 8
This game is on par with Spider-Man 2?
Hell no. It's boring compared to spiderman 2.
Hopefully this is the end of the "warriors creed" games and they can stay assassins creed again
Bro this game has been the same literally since origins. Ac either needs to end or needs a MASSIVE rehaul.
I'm surprised they haven't been able to make a compelling villain when it's the same studio that made Vaas and other great villains in Far Cry
Definitely prefer the last 3 games. RPG assassin's creed is the way to go. 3/10
Exactly
Zoomer opinion
@@bulletmelter5158 na Mill
Looks tremendous ! Finally an assassins creed game back to the roots and a dense city ! Love it
Don't remember old ac's having microtransactions. Remember them in ac1, 2, brotherhood, revelations?
This ain’t back to the roots
Same old
@@adamhughes7401 it is lmao, do you really know what the root are
valhalla was terrible didnt even finish it
Gonna pass this one for now, will grab it later on a 50% discount.
Why do all the games look the same? They don't even try to improve the graphics or animation.
And the graphics don't look that great for a ps5 games
Nah am skipping this one. To me it looks like a 6,5. Not much story, no improvement, no village. Rather play origins again till shadows arrives
It's crazy ppl keep buying games from a developer that puts out the same game over and over
RUclips上で久しぶりに理性的な人間に出逢えた
It seems like people are seeing what they want to see with this game and remembering the older games for what they wanted them to be and not really as they were. This game uses the same engine as Valhalla, odyssey, and origins. It looks, feels, and plays identically to them except they’ve deliberately removed or modified mechanics. As for the old games they are nowhere near the stealth experience people think they were. Hell, the series didn’t even have a crouch option until Unity. Only the original game and large chunks of Unity would be considered stealth focused. All the others were swashbuckling, noisy , bombastic, combat heavy experiences.
It makes me so happy assassins creed went back to their roots with this game.
Why can't we just get Unity 2?
If you mean an Arno sequel, it's never going to happen. Maybe a web comic but that's about it
since when is unity so loved lmao
Love the game so far, perfect mix of all Old and new, do wish parkour was like unity’s though
Now can we PLEASE get a back to roots, Splinter Cell game?
would have been going back to basics if they got rid of the magic powers. Could have also added at least some new animations for the movement to make it not look like Valhalla.
remember slow motion air assassinations? running assassinations that don't make you lose momentum? double assassinations?
who wants to play the same game over and over again for decades
AC sheep fans, because they're the reason why this franchise is still lingering on.
Back to roots? It's like these devs never even played the first game.
I’m confused. If the game is smaller than AC1, Unity parkour is better, AC 2/3 have more diverse and better sneaking mechanics, Odyssey and Valhalla have more in depths combat system (along with better graphics somehow) and Origin a better story…….where does it excel at ? Like what is THE thing about it ?
as a muslim. This era was a beginning of Islamic golden age. I'm actually impressed by how Ubisoft created this beautiful historical city
as muslim too, this era sadly will broke our heart when Hulagu Khan destroy baghdad. Every women and children suffer from that monster because al musta'shim too arogant
Honestly, looks at this and then at AC:Unity.
This looks one generation BEFORE AC:Unity.
So this is the open world Prince of Persia we wanted back in the day
no one noticed the prince of persia costume and the dagger of time????
The world looks underwhelming as compared to AC Odyssey.
or origins
It looks like Assasin's Creed 10 years ago... Are you all really so exicited to play anything with no DLC, almost no special abilities, no new special weapons, no shops, no conversation options? 😐😐 It looks like DLC...😢😢
Odissey is still my favourite.
Looks like a game to buy on sale only
This is 6 at best. Ign is always off
this looks like the same game since 2016
The absolute fact that Assassin's Creed has not yet done a game in Japan, the land of NINJAS, is a crime at this point. We need a Tokugawa Shogunate Assassin's Creed. Maybe centered around the death of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and the ascension of Ieyasu Tokugawa? Honestly the chances it being a greater story are much higher, especial if you do some historical fiction by having a Korean from the First Imjin War come to Japan as a slave, escape and train as a Ninja, then poison Hideyoshi as part revenge, only for Ieyasu to take advantage. The best Assassin Creed storylines are part history part fiction with characters that have motivations and twists in the plot that create actualll feelings of defeat in the player.
Cry me a river
Its too short, should've been a DLC.
been saying this for ages. they need to make a an AC game based on British India. It would be insane
