Mirage has some of the best emphasis on stealth in the entire series imo, especially with the sense of freedom you get with how you choose to take down your targets.
100%, in literally any other Assassins Creed game you could beat the entire game (except for stealth only missions) without using stealth, I've done it for all of them since I don't really like stealth. But Mirage would be near impossible to beat without using stealth, Basim isn't a very good brawler like most of the other Assassins are, and I like that he isn't, it gives us something different. This game definitely made me appreciate stealth a lot more.
@@vengeance1450it made me appreciate Valhalla and Odyssey even more. As I wanna brawl with the enemies. Also once you get access to most of skills. Plus get better swords and tools. You can brawl the enemies.
This is the FIRST assassin's creed game I've walked into and decided to actually be sneaky around. Every assassin's creed game I've ever played from the start of the whole series has had me walking in through the front door and absolutely destroying everything that dared look in my general direction. Basim... can't do that, and that's a good thing.
The only two things I wish Mirage would have is better character animation during cutscenes. They are very robotic, since I don't think they use mocap for most of them like Odyssey and Valhalla. Those games had an a big amount of dialogue choices and two characters. So I wished Mirage would be more like Origins with it's cutscenes. And also if this game just had a well developed manual eject system it would basically be perfect. That would give it depth, because otherwise it just hold A and forward.
Keep in the mind that ubisoft (Bordeaux) had limited budget and still managed to create this game . If they were given more time and more budget , they would have created a new engine
@@tpraveenkumar Thats why we need to support Bordeoux and this game for going into the direction we want it to. if we dont we may never see Bordeoux make another true Assasins Creed game that is Stealth Focused but this time with ample time and money.
I even had a few cutscenes freeze up or not load at all rest the game ran smoothly and my set ups only 4 years old so i know its not me. I am using a 360 controller 1660 gpu ryzen 7 3200 and 32 gigs ram. ran the game on high except for a few cutscenes was buttery smooth. I only hope sells for this game goes well enough to make ubisoft realize us old school assassins creed fans want this direction not the rpg one.
@@tylerty7235 I didnt buy Odyssey or Valhalla but i bought Mirage given it looked like it was trying to go back to stealth and story focus. Felt if i didnt encourage this direction they would go back to rpg and of course cave to woke in video games. Glad i did given i really enjoyed Mirage. I only hope they consider adding a free infinite NG+ given i buy a game once maybe twice a year. Reason my pc set up was told by a tech buddy its a future proofed pc.
Transitioning from the end of Valhalla to Mirage was my favorite moment in gaming. Valhalla was so unfair to stealth, so you have to be really good to succeed. Mirage just took that and gave you a sandbox.
I really really hope the AC codename Red team look at the tools and stealth in this and incorporate them into that game, especially since the trailer clearly shows a hidden one character
I think those who complain about focus didn't explore its potential and thought it would only be exploited as a crutch to make up for bad stealth. But it makes no sense to complain about a perk that is totally optional anyway.
I understand why people hate it, personally, I would sugest using it as some kinda of double assassination only, since this mechanic has been gone for about 7 to 8 years now.
@@stupor_mundi most of the criticism towards the game doesn’t make any sense, people are being way to petty about it, complaining about the Assassins focus ability is like complaining about eagle vision, it’s dumb and nonsensical
I use it as a wild card to escape situations where I'm about to be detected. Trigger it right when detection meter is about to fill and kill whoever spotted you. Really made the experience better.
Sometimes I can combine throwing knife, smoke bomb with assassin focus. For instance, when I have only 1 assassin focus bar I can throw knife to nearby guard who is currently looking and then throw smoke bomb to a group of guard. This allow me to teleport to them and quickly kill other, therefore no concern about the smoke will fade if I run to them. 😅
I'd argue that being visible while aiming in bushes adds depth. In Mirage, it doesn't matter much that you're hidden while aiming your ranged tools in bushes because you don't have a high amount of tools to throw. In Origins, if you remained undetected while in the bushes aiming your bow, you would have been able to just snipe all of your enemies from within their fort and they wouldn't be able to do anything. Also, I do agree that assassin's focus is an ability that lets you enhance your gameplay if you use it creatively enough, but I think giving endgame Basim five bars of focus is a little too forgiving. In a lot of cases, you could essentially just use it to skip encounters, get a couple more stealth kills with a maxed predator tree, and then use it all again. Nevertheless, this game's additions have really added to the stealth experience, and I think it has set a good foundation to build off of for future titles.
Reason to get knife recovery asap they dont give you many if i recall only 4 i went high damage route with my knife build and range with the extra skill. I also went corrosive because its nice to hide bodies.
@@barnowl2655you’re not wrong but I wouldn’t even call it attention to detail, the description of the perk literally says it won’t work unless you have throwing knives.
I have a good feeling this game is gona age decently well just because it took the Valhalla formula and almost made it what it should’ve been with Mirage so im really enjoying this game!
I love how to cover system works, if Basim is highlighted white and hidden, you wont be spotted and that works in the assassination animations too, its so cool.
I LOVE that you have to be stealthy to civilians too. There was a civilian once next to a bunch of guards, I put the civi to sleep, threw a smoke bomb, killed everyone and fled with zero notoriety increase. FELT AMAZING!
One thing I noticed in mirage is that chain Assassination actually requires you to have throwing knifes in your inventory because I noticed if basim is out of throwing knifes you won’t be aloud to chain Assassinate an enemy unless you do the chain Assassination while aclose to a enemy and I also even found out that if you don’t have your throwing knifes equipped you also won’t be able to chain Assassinate an enemy.i like that they changed it and also make it more realistic where in origins whenever bayek chain Assassinated an enemy every time you never ran out of those little types of knifes and it was just unlimited same with Eivor he never ran out of Axes when Chain Assassinating an enemy so yeah just a small detail.that is a really nice thing to the chain Assassination
My only real gripe with Mirage is the assassination animations. When I drop a smoke bomb I don’t want to see elaborate movements, I want to clear the area.
Great video man! Yeah, the game does so many things to push you towards using stealth, like bringing back notoriety and giving Basim a lot less health. You can’t muscle your way through tbh (or at least it’s super difficult to do so 😅), so your best option is to be stealthy, which makes sense since you are an assassin. And then like you said, the game gives you so many opportunities and options for stealth (social stealth, tools and their crazy mods, traditional stabbing, Assassin’s Focus, etc…) cause that’s what it really intends for you to do in the first place. It just did a superb job with stealth gameplay and I feel like it might actually be the most stealth-focused AC game in the series, only because I never felt a true need to always be stealthy in the older games. It was more that I just wanted to be stealthy because it was there. Here, it felt like I almost had to if I didn’t want to die and I literally never chose the combat route unless I was unwittingly plunged into it 😂
Love how I’m in a Twitter argument about a single upgrade for the traps (whistle trigger) about it not being lore friendly, and this video has absolutely no mentions of it.
I barely/rarely engaged in combat in this game. Infact, most of my order of ancient kills were target only kills. The fact I had the freedom to do that - in and out without anyone knowing I was there - is why this game is among the best in the franchise IMO
Mirage actually has my favorite stealth system of the series. Unity may had better animations and better parkour, but the tools and the assassin’s focus in mirage were so fun to use. The missions are also very good designed for stealth.
Literally the same people who over praise Unity. The animations are awesome but the functionality like parkour and stealth is lacking. Both AC1-Revelations and Mirage is functionality > style.
I love the variety of things you can do. Revelation bombs, Black Flag darts, throwing knives. Choose what you need. But my main gripe with stealth are the kill animations. Why the heck are the kills slow and unintuitive. Like running up to an enemy to assassinate, sometimes enemy turns around before you go to the animation of stabbing. In previous AC, like Black Flag the kills were very quick.
They need to bring back the Unity engine but new and improved and bring back the Co-Op of Unity in my opinion Unity is the last AC game that captures the feel of the OG AC’s
still having a blast playing this game im on my second playthrough now i really hope they add new game plus asap because ill def do multiple playthroughs if they do
I feel like if Layla and Desmond come back to the story Ubisoft will scrap the whole rpg aspect of the game and probably completely remake assassins creed but put it into a completely new timeline like with call of duty what call of duty did with modern warfare
It’s a good game for stealth, I just wish modern games would move away from the reliance on the crouch walk as a means of stealth in games. Especially for games like assassins creed with the blade in the crowd idea.
Honestly this is a good sign but I feel like it was the most bare bones in terms of stealth goes. I'm really fucking hoping that the main real game they are working on continues with the stealth mechanics. What we really need is improved AI. As it stands, we're seeing the same if not WORSE AI technology from 15 years ago. It's criminal that Chaos Theory is still the most advanced stealth game :P
The main problem i have with this Game is the fact that contracts are limited and not generated, I’d love to just pick a new one and just have a reason to use all these tools. But there is already the notoriety system so I’m not completely lost without anything to do
I love this game has the dark souls roll... and it actually works as a dodge ( not that you should use it that way, but it's fun to do if you play souls game )
Cause it's fast. I only played Elden Ring, but the dodge roll there looks so stupidly high and slow. And you don't even have the option to just dodge step.
I still don't know if the game deserves a shot. I have played the first two games in the series, plus valhalla. After playing valhalla, I still want to feel the sensation of being an assasin like the two first games I played. But, I don't know if i should buy mirage, because many people have said that the story is not good and that the combat system, along with NPC are kind of dumb. So I don't know if I should buy mirage, origins or unity. So, what do you recommend me, if I want a good story, a beautiful setting and also something that is at least related to the assasins.
well they all have a beautiful setting, i’d say origins has the best setting and story of these three, but probably the least assassin-like with the worst stealth and parkour. if you want the best stealth and parkour i’d pick unity for parkour and mirage for stealth but it’s debatable which has better stealth between the two.
I gotta be a bit of devils advocate. The assassination button is too contextual for me. I love sneaking up behind a guard only to seeing my sword because the button vanished for 2 frames
I think they should update a new game plus mode you I can have all abilities and upgrades available and really just feel like a bad ass from the get go
How does the initial outfit work exactly? It says it reduces assassination noise which I thought was nice but guards don't seem to notice when I off one of their buddies regardless of what outfit I'm wearing
Not thinking about that kind of usage for assassin focus. I mainly trying to get in and get out quickly with minimal casualties so I didn't use trap, smoke bombs and AF that much
Jokingly speaking, the broken instant spotting in Valhalla, kinda make stealth more realistic (?) cause the guards are like super alerted, but definitely not a fun game play lol
I think its mostly the inconsistency of it that bothers people. Being spotted through walls or entire hills in that game wasn't uncommon when I played it last.
The only problem i had with mirages stealth is it was to easy for me and ive only played on nightmare mode and am half way through permideath just wish there was more of a challenge like ac 1 or 2 but i guess it was more difficult because it was less realistic like being unable to crouch and things along those lines
the problem with assasin focus is that its too op if u get all the upgrades for assasin focus u can pretty much fill ur entire bar in like 3-=5 kills if they lowered the amount of focus generated then it would be a solid like ultimate ability
I honestly think Mirage's social stealth is terrible since there's no blend fade time, crowds are extremely scarce and aren't intentionally placed or move in groups like they do in the Ezio trilogy, no undectable kills, pretty much the only cool thing you can do is use the blow pipe from a blend group and the bench assassination, usually you're better off avoiding social stealth
Even tho I do think Valhalla had sone really good futures and stuff to do that odesey lacked I genuinly think mirage is trying to do the right thing by giving ok not a complete full original AC game as there’s still some rpg elements but it’s as close as we are going to get to one but that said sone stuff in the game reminds me of AC 1 and 2
@@barnowl2655 me to I’m getting a lot of the AC 1 vibes by the investigations you do I don’t know about you tho but I felt in AC 1 when you stole a letter or best someone one up or eavesdrop on a conversation the animation made you feel like you advanced time in a few seconds if tgat makes sense I wish morale would have bought back that animation but hey I’m loving the game nonetheless
i dont like to play as unknown filler characters i want to play aas the assassins which got showen in the audiotre villa .. those were the real canon assassins
A hot take, but AC games were NEVER stealth. They were action adventure games first and foremost, with stealth aspects. Yes, some games FORCED you to take stealth approach, but rarely would a full on assault hinder you in any way. Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Arno, all AC protaginists are killing machines. Basim really is the first one that cant really take on more than 2-3 enemies.
As much as I enjoyed the finishers of this game, I wish AC Mirage has the same gameplay as the old ones like Brotherhood or 3 instead of RPG gameplay. Cool moves Basim does, by the way. Also, I’m glad Mirage plays more as a Stealth game, which was meant to be.
Does anyone know when in the game you get Assassin’s focus? I’m like 40% of the way in the main story and I wanna get it soon before I complete the story
Unity’s lack of friendliness towards stealth is getting annoying. I’m playing it for the first time and a few things just make absolutely no sense whatsoever. So I’ll be playing this next. Thanks.
Me to I feel the stealth is actually really smooth and responsive in the past two games it just felt so off balence to the point where you don’t even bother using it and I lobe what they did with the tools for example when you throw a smoke bomb you can do sone nifty kills or just run off just like in the older games
Just a shame that still doesnt seem to please enough fans Even those that yearns for the classic style of gameplay At this point its becoming petty and pathetic
@@Cruddy129 i love mirage but it has many annoying things like how slow assassinations are compared to unity for example in unity you could be so fast and smooth while assassinating and you could take out groups of enemies with the hidden blade but in mirage you cant do double take downs it takes too long to finish assassinating and you cant chain hidden blade assassinations and that is just what is wrong with the assassination there are more problems
@@potato_duud6166then use more tools, you have a smoke bomb, throwing knives, darts, traps, and noisemakers. There is no reason you should go to a group of enemies with a hidden blade, i don’t think you can even do that in unity, yes double assassinations exist but it doesn’t mean what your trying to claim where we kill up to 4 people with just the hidden blade which is not possible, also trying to use the hidden blade in that situation is stupid anyway, so just use a smoke bomb and kill all of them, if you use all the tools in your shed you will end up more satisfied with your product.
@@potato_duud6166and of course double assassinations look cool, but you can throw a throwing knife and kill the other enemy to give the same level of effect. And In my opinion looks more cool. The problem with ac unity was not its stealth, it was its enemy placement, mirage has better enemy placement. There is no reason to criticize a game for what you can’t do when you can do literally that, also I believe the only think unity does better is parkour.
@@Cruddy129you’re absolutely right. Btw most of the haters haven’t even played AC Mirage and you can’t really judge an AC game without getting a feel of the game yourself. It’s sad to see content creators are uploading terrible gameplay footage of AC Mirage on purpose for clout. I honestly didn’t ever think any RPG game could have so many cool original AC stealth and parkour features. It’s a great achievement for the low budget that went into the game. I think the haters are gonna regret hating it for no reason if Ubisoft goes back to AC Valhalla’s style again.

But, I don't know if i should buy mirage, because many people have said that the story is not good and that the combat system, along with NPC are kind of dumb. So I don't know if I should buy mirage, origins or unity. So, what do you recommend me, if I want a good story, a beautiful setting and also something that is at least related to the assasins.
well they all have a beautiful setting, i’d say origins has the best setting and story of these three, but probably the least assassin-like with the worst stealth and parkour. if you want the best stealth and parkour i’d pick unity for parkour and mirage for stealth but it’s debatable which has better stealth between the two.
So what is the best game overall?
@@federicoalvarez2324 hmm i’d say origins but again it depends on the play style you want
Thank you man. I aprecciete your recommendations.
@@federicoalvarez2324 np man enjoy :)
Why does no one charge throwing knives?
Beautiful another master assassin video 🎉❤️
The ac focus is creative but it takes the realism and brings more rpgness😢 4:03
AC was never about realism
Tenchu (ps1) was the first real stealth game from which all these games “borrow”
the Chain assassination cant work if your out of throwing knives, I also saw this lol
It needs Syndicate's cover system
You can only chain assassinate when you have throwing knives. You need atleast 1
6:44 You can't seriously be using this as an example... right?
I gotta be a bit of devils advocate. The assassination button is too contextual for me. I love sneaking up behind a guard only to seeing my sword because the button vanished for 2 frames
I like this game so far
Is that a Prince of Persia skin? NOICE
I think they should update a new game plus mode you I can have all abilities and upgrades available and really just feel like a bad ass from the get go
this is the only game that i master at stealth
How does the initial outfit work exactly? It says it reduces assassination noise which I thought was nice but guards don't seem to notice when I off one of their buddies regardless of what outfit I'm wearing
I'm having trouble using chain assassination when enemies are cloes, like non-throwing knife range. Anyone else had this issue?
I just miss double assassinations
Not thinking about that kind of usage for assassin focus. I mainly trying to get in and get out quickly with minimal casualties so I didn't use trap, smoke bombs and AF that much
Jokingly speaking, the broken instant spotting in Valhalla, kinda make stealth more realistic (?) cause the guards are like super alerted, but definitely not a fun game play lol
I think its mostly the inconsistency of it that bothers people. Being spotted through walls or entire hills in that game wasn't uncommon when I played it last.
Plz make a video of Assassins creed mirage vs Valhalla🤗
Assuming that the footage you use is yours pls tell me how to get assassins focus before the dagger hits or make a vid or smth🙏🙏🙏
You can change the input for assassins focus. Just set it to press a button instead of hold it and tap the button right after the knife is released.
The only problem i had with mirages stealth is it was to easy for me and ive only played on nightmare mode and am half way through permideath just wish there was more of a challenge like ac 1 or 2 but i guess it was more difficult because it was less realistic like being unable to crouch and things along those lines
the problem with assasin focus is that its too op if u get all the upgrades for assasin focus u can pretty much fill ur entire bar in like 3-=5 kills if they lowered the amount of focus generated then it would be a solid like ultimate ability
It’s a single player game who cares how op it is it’s fun af😂
true
I honestly think Mirage's social stealth is terrible since there's no blend fade time, crowds are extremely scarce and aren't intentionally placed or move in groups like they do in the Ezio trilogy, no undectable kills, pretty much the only cool thing you can do is use the blow pipe from a blend group and the bench assassination, usually you're better off avoiding social stealth
Even tho I do think Valhalla had sone really good futures and stuff to do that odesey lacked I genuinly think mirage is trying to do the right thing by giving ok not a complete full original AC game as there’s still some rpg elements but it’s as close as we are going to get to one but that said sone stuff in the game reminds me of AC 1 and 2
The setting really feels like AC1 to me. I'm loving it though.😊
@@barnowl2655 me to I’m getting a lot of the AC 1 vibes by the investigations you do I don’t know about you tho but I felt in AC 1 when you stole a letter or best someone one up or eavesdrop on a conversation the animation made you feel like you advanced time in a few seconds if tgat makes sense I wish morale would have bought back that animation but hey I’m loving the game nonetheless
you could assassinate mid combat in unity as well, just have to wait for arno to put his sword away in the smokebomb for the free stab
lol, in origins sleep darts and smoke bombs are op.
Totally agree
Couldn't we modify tools in revelation?
Love the game so much, finally a prober AC game again. Think I even dig it more than Origins.
So says Jay says that Mirage was an imitation of AC.
i dont like to play as unknown filler characters i want to play aas the assassins which got showen in the audiotre villa .. those were the real canon assassins
A hot take, but AC games were NEVER stealth. They were action adventure games first and foremost, with stealth aspects. Yes, some games FORCED you to take stealth approach, but rarely would a full on assault hinder you in any way. Altair, Ezio, Connor, Edward, Arno, all AC protaginists are killing machines. Basim really is the first one that cant really take on more than 2-3 enemies.
Waiting for this video…
Hey @masterassassin can you rate our mirage stealth clips like you did unity
Can you do a video where play ac mirage without getting spotted
As much as I enjoyed the finishers of this game, I wish AC Mirage has the same gameplay as the old ones like Brotherhood or 3 instead of RPG gameplay. Cool moves Basim does, by the way. Also, I’m glad Mirage plays more as a Stealth game, which was meant to be.
What do you mean by RPG gameplay?
@@SamueleAnselmo11
AC Odyssey and Valhalla
Does anyone know when in the game you get Assassin’s focus? I’m like 40% of the way in the main story and I wanna get it soon before I complete the story
it is going to come soon it is in a story mission
@@potato_duud6166 okay thank you
i’ve still yet to use the assassin focus, i just can’t get over how stupid it looks
have you tried hitman games or the last of us. those are fun stealth games
Unity’s lack of friendliness towards stealth is getting annoying. I’m playing it for the first time and a few things just make absolutely no sense whatsoever. So I’ll be playing this next. Thanks.
Like how everyone is talking about how the combats bad when combat isn’t supposed to be the first option stealth is
I’m loving the stealth in this game
Me to I feel the stealth is actually really smooth and responsive in the past two games it just felt so off balence to the point where you don’t even bother using it and I lobe what they did with the tools for example when you throw a smoke bomb you can do sone nifty kills or just run off just like in the older games
Is this game any different to playing AC: Revelations?
@@digivagrantdawg what?
@@tommywright2487 All Im seeing in Mirage are things I can do in ACR besides crouching.
@@digivagrant y’all ever hear something so ridiculous that you don’t even know what to say?
It feels good having an AC game after 6 years
Just a shame that still doesnt seem to please enough fans
Even those that yearns for the classic style of gameplay
At this point its becoming petty and pathetic
@@Cruddy129 i love mirage but it has many annoying things like how slow assassinations are compared to unity for example in unity you could be so fast and smooth while assassinating and you could take out groups of enemies with the hidden blade but in mirage you cant do double take downs it takes too long to finish assassinating and you cant chain hidden blade assassinations and that is just what is wrong with the assassination there are more problems
@@potato_duud6166then use more tools, you have a smoke bomb, throwing knives, darts, traps, and noisemakers. There is no reason you should go to a group of enemies with a hidden blade, i don’t think you can even do that in unity, yes double assassinations exist but it doesn’t mean what your trying to claim where we kill up to 4 people with just the hidden blade which is not possible, also trying to use the hidden blade in that situation is stupid anyway, so just use a smoke bomb and kill all of them, if you use all the tools in your shed you will end up more satisfied with your product.
@@potato_duud6166and of course double assassinations look cool, but you can throw a throwing knife and kill the other enemy to give the same level of effect. And In my opinion looks more cool. The problem with ac unity was not its stealth, it was its enemy placement, mirage has better enemy placement. There is no reason to criticize a game for what you can’t do when you can do literally that, also I believe the only think unity does better is parkour.
@@Cruddy129you’re absolutely right. Btw most of the haters haven’t even played AC Mirage and you can’t really judge an AC game without getting a feel of the game yourself. It’s sad to see content creators are uploading terrible gameplay footage of AC Mirage on purpose for clout.
I honestly didn’t ever think any RPG game could have so many cool original AC stealth and parkour features. It’s a great achievement for the low budget that went into the game. I think the haters are gonna regret hating it for no reason if Ubisoft goes back to AC Valhalla’s style again.
My only wish for this games future is that I hope they at least add in infinite contracts and more unlock able outfits to hold players over for a bit.
man stealth in this game is good...i just hope that ubisoft improves upon it for future ac games🤞🏻
