- Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a strong return to the original identity of the series, with greater focus on stealth and a more manageable length, but Ubisoft continues to spin its wheels with where all of this is going.

A 8/10 20 hrs plus Assassin's Creed game for $50 that is perfectly fine with me and it will pass the time until Spiderman 2.👍👍
Hahahahaha I almost spit my coffee out 8/10 yeh ok kido I guess it's not hard to please stupid 😅
always good to hear Brandon's voice
Erm.. you weird
I get where he is coming from. For so long, this narrator was the one I was waiting for to tell me about games so systematically
This man is a legend in the video game review world. Game trailers OG. Best reviews on the web.
3:15. Classic immersion break when the Guard does not react to the sound of a stacked shelf falling 2m to his side.
I'll enjoy this game better than the last 3 entries; No level gating or traveling for absurd amounts of time. At the same time I do enjoy playing with optional cosmetics; An outfit change or special weapon every here and there doesn't hurt.
I was disappointed with this game. They promised a return to the roots but that was a lie. The gameplay is no different than it has been the last 3 games. They said they were looking to Unity for inspiration for the parkour, but it's no different than Valhalla. The combat is the worst combat the series has ever had.
In terms of story you would think a smaller game would mean more resources are poured into making a better story, but it sucks. The very ending is kind of cool, but even there I would have gone further than they did with it. The story is almost nonexistent in the main part of the game. You're just following one "investigation" after another, finding your next target, with little to no actual story accompanying these targets. The acting is poor. There's next to no motion capture. No cinematic flare to cutscenes. It's just a bad story.
It's very clear this started as DLC for Valhalla, and the promotion to a full game did next to nothing for its budget. Even if viewed as a DLC, I would consider it one of the weakest DLCs for the series.
Ubisoft lied to me saying they would be trying to bring back the feel of the older games, and that the smaller game would allow for more focused storytelling. This disappointment leads me to not want to preorder any more AC games for the foreseeable future.
Awesome review as always! Does this game have any areas/secrets to fully explore? In the old games it was great to discover a tomb that you then had to parkour through (a puzzle in itself). Areas like that used to be a great addition to the broader game
How about you play it and let us know. Hardly be a secret if they tell you
I hope Ubisoft will continue the quality over quantity approach and apply it to their other franchises like Far Cry.
@@guyincle126 That one was in development for quite some time, so it's probably still following the usual Far Cry formular just with an Avatar skin. And overall i have a feeling Mirage will just be an outlier.
Im excited to play for the setting alone, its all i need tbh. Short, cosy and sweet.
I want an assassin's creed set in the Aztecs time period so bad!!
That would be beast
Hell yeah.
that's a great idea!
Man…I really want Ubisoft to make more AC games like this, so I want to support it…but it also sounds a lot like a game that one should buy on sale^^ Anyways, nice review!
Yeah they're heading in the right direction here, if a little TOO simplified but nice to see the price reflect that. Needs to sell well though if the morons in charge are to get the message that we're bored of their exhaustingly massive open world approach the last 3 or so games.
I'm buying it because I want more ac games like this no more valhalla
baldur's gate 3 best game u played this year hands down
It already is on sale. It's only $49.99
I’ve preordered it. If you wait for the sale, then execs at Ubisoft will think players don’t want AC to return to form.
If you want this game to succeed then you have to buy it at full price.
I am super happy that your back to being a stealthy assassin again I just dont like that they are bringing back the eavesdropping tailing missions. Any time I hear escort mission my hype drops considerably still kinda interested just dont know if its a must buy anymore.
I am glad it still has synchronize viewpoints and leap of faith. That is a trademark to the franchise that they should always keep. What about Abstergo or the animus? I haven't seen any reviews mention anything about it, so I assume it is now completely absent from the game. If so then that is a little disappointing. Kind of hard to say this game is returning to its roots without having Abstergo be any part of it. No, Abstergo was not the best thing about the past games, but I was hoping they would do something entirely different with it rather than completely getting rid of it..
We will have to see what the next games will bring for the meta arching, modern day story. The stealth game team is working on code name Hexe next. Fans are speculating its set in the Holy Roman Empires (Medieval Germany) which i am personally excited to explore. we will have to wade through another RPG team game (Codename Red: Feudal Japan) and a mobile game (Codename Jade: Anchient China) 1st though, which im not so excited about. At least AC is getting some much needed variety.
I haven't been interested in this series in a very long time, but this looks really good.
This seems to harken back to original AC1 and 2, and that's a very welcome change.
It's such an interesting prospect this game. At least for me;
Do I prefer this style of AC? Yes.
Would I rather play this then a Valhalla-esque AC? Yes.
Is Ubisoft directly responding and addressing these complaints/this segment of the audience? Yes.
Did I ask for this? No.
Like I feel Ubisoft has done everything correct here but, at least for me, I haven't been sitting here and stewing the last decade begging for a return to the old style of game. I thought AC3 was bad, Black Flag was cool, diminishing returns on the next couple made me fall off and when they change over to the open world style I didn't care for it.
Essentially I moved on after Black Flag. Which is the healthy thing to do when you stop liking something I feel. But that also makes a return to the Assassins Creed 2 format too little and waaaay to late. For me. At least to be interested in any kind of day 1 full price purchase. This has "I bought it for 85% two years from now out of morbid curiosity" energy to me. Which I doubt is Ubisofts goal here :p
So needless to say I'm very interested in how it preforms. The quality doesn't seem like an issue and it's always cool to see people get something they've pined a long time for but I wonder if there's still an audience for this very specific thing. It's been a long time and, again, it's healthy to move on.
I never stopped liking it. Completed every game in the series, but Valhalla was really a tough one to finish, and easily the worst in the series as an overall product. What always keeps me coming back is the genuine love I have for historical fiction, and regardless of the qualities of the games, recreating historical time periods is something Ubisoft has never failed at, and imo, they're one of the best at it. They clearly love doing it too.
I don't think I'll be moving on from the series because nothing quite provides those varied and excited historical adventures like this series, and I love the overall lore and mystery AC brings as well, but I wish they would evolve the formula after so many years. AC will never be a GOTY contender again until they finally make the true NEXT GEN Assassin's Creed. Hopefully the Feudal Japan one they're working on is exactly that.
Hope this is a blast! For me AC stopped being AC after Syndicate (I think my fav)
Syndicate is so good! Second best in the franchise behind Black flag imo
Same here!
I enjoyed every game in the series. I even loved Odyssey, but Valhalla is easily the worst. So much bloat and besides for the amazing recreation of England and some great story moments, everything else is painfully average. I loved Syndicate, Unity, Black Flag, AC3, Brotherhood, AC2...I love this series overall.
You came here just to say that? No one asked?
I need to really think and plan my game purchases every year, so I’m glad Mirage is below the 60 dollar mark. However, I’m still gonna have to wait til Christmas. Hope Ubisoft has realistic expectations with this one and tries more of these smaller, tighter experiences regardless of sales, but I may be to optimistic.
No it's clear this won't sell well. They expected this. Hell i expected this. People prefer the open world RPG and i can't blame them.
@@pixelcount350This was made for us ppl that grew up playing AC since the beginning so ur right it prob won’t sell well but that’s ok
Ubisoft game prices drop rapidly and significantly. If you wait a little bit longer it will be much cheaper
@@ericwalker6477 I've been with the AC games since 1
Great review, Huber~
Ya know, one way EZA can differentiate is by going 4k on everything. That was the big appeal of GT back in the day. Gamespot and IGN don’t even do 4k for some insane reason. I don’t understand what’s going on, it’s 2023.
Valhalla kinda burnt me out as it was too damn large! hearing about this being a smaller experience has me interested again.
6:27 proof that i'm not the only one who's annoyed with all those new entry notifications that pop up every time something happens. Great review as always.
Happy to hear that Mirage is a much smaller game. Odyssey, Origins, and Valhalla were gigantic and took many dozens of hours to get through just the main storyline.
& they were just bloated games without much fun
@@SwirlyJoe Personally, Odyssey is the most fun game in the series, and one of my favorites. Valhalla is the game that just had very little fun and 100 hours of bloat. Easily my least favorite game in the series.
@@spiritlance364 AC Odyssey kept me busy, but I didn't really enjoy it. The story had a few funny parts, but too much running errands for people. I am not an RPG person
Why Unity from almost 10 years ago look much better graphically speaking?
Say that at launch
Still.@@sgtroach1510
That game was very clunky to control and still has glitches to this day.
@@enman009 so what? I said about visuals only.
Game is going in a good direction, reviewers including Easy allies are giving it a lower score than the latest AC games, the game is smaller in content and is more expensive.
It's $50 usd
@@beng6149It's still a Triple AAA game just a shorter one.
@@pixelcount350 I'm responding to the "more expensive" statement
@@beng6149 i think he meant to say more Expansive.
@@pixelcount350 that makes zero sense
Cool. I fell off I believe around Assassin's Creed revelations or assassin's creed III.
Then I got back into it with Odyssey and played Valhalla. I enjoyed both of these games big time lol. But I ignored the actual modern story, since I was behind, and just played both games as what the setting was. It's funny because I see online how much fans of assassin's creed franchise don't like these two as much, so sometimes feel like damn my bad lol. But naw the layout, gameplay, etc., of Odyssey and Valhalla were so dope to me.
Oh man you fell off at the worst point mate cuz AC black flag is excellent and many people's favourite.
Odyssey was good but way to bloated and long. I have yet to play Valhalla but I hear it's more of the same as Odyssey so don't feel like I'm missing out
@@philbarton2832Black Flags was great but lets not beat around the bush Orgin, Odyessy and Valhalla sold incredibly well for a reason. You may not like them but its what a lot of people prefer.
@@pixelcount350 I'm pretty sure black flag sold very well too so I'm not sure what your point is.
I'm talking about quality not popularity
@@philbarton2832 My point is the RPG games sell incredibly well and Unity and Syndicate did not. If you can't understand that then not sure what else to tell you here as it should be obvious.
You're in your right to enjoy Odyssey and Valhalla, specially Odyssey considering it got great reviews from critics, sold the most before Valhalla and received nominations at the Game of The Year Awards.
The problem is theres no point in buying Ubisoft games, because they're always on sale a month after release.
Thats not even including the issue of every Ubi game being the exact same formula.
Unfortunately Ubisoft are one of those greedy company's that often only put the "deluxe" edition on sale then down the line the standard edition
Every open world game plays similar so not sure what you mean by Ubisoft formula. People who use that term are incredibly lame.
@@pixelcount350 Okay.
@@pixelcount350 He didn't say "similar" he said "exactly the same formula" and I agree. Ubisoft play it safe too often with assassin's creed because they sell very well to the casual fan so are terrified to do anything creative or different
@@philbarton2832 Okay and every other open world games plays the same as Assassins Creed? What else do you got to construct your narrative? Black Flags was safe? Unity was safe? Even outside they've experimented with games before as Watch Dogs Legion, Steep, Mario and Rabbits were completely out of the box thinking.
I hope this won't be a one off and that we'll see other games in the series go down that traditional path
Nope, This won't sell well. Maybe buy the game and show Ubisoft what you want but otherwise we know what people want which is Origins, Odyessy and Valhalla.
The next game will be an rpg like origins, odyssey and valhalla. The plans are already layed out. They announced a ton of future projects already.
Yes, shorter AC games. That’s what I want personally.
I used to love this series. Now I hate it. All I wanted was stories set in the First Civ era and more of a focus on the modern day stuff but theyve moved farther and farther from that in every game.
5:02 So "Mark & Execute" from Splinter Cell ❤
I think a traditional AC game cannot exist in the current engine they use. Parkour looks worse than AC Unity and combat still looks clumsy
The combat is the worst in the series and the parkour is no different than the last 3 games.
THIS is what Assassins Creed should be! Easily 9/10 game for me 🎉
We didn't have an AC game for 2-3 years and honestly I didn't even miss it
That's how bad Valhalla burnt us out as it did equally underwhelmed
Basim's eagle is called Enkidu? As in Gilgamesh's companion from Sumerian mythology?
"(...) some also have you escort targets through dangerous areas." nooooo why why 😭
Whilst I enjoyed the old style, all they had to do for the new ones was make them more stealthy and remove the RPG nonsense. I liked the combat a lot so that still gives players the option to run in and hack n slash. Keep the open world style too.
Valhalla was 3 years ago?
Where does the time go
This is the most AC style game I have seen since before Origins
the teleporting kills just looks sloppy & half assed. They could've done some parkour animations to get him there, instead of just beaming him around.
I'm assuming the sound quality is dreadful as per the usual with the recent 3 ACs? If it's as bad as Valhalla/Odyssey's tinny and horribly compressed audio then it's not worth a buy just because of that reason alone. It's that terrible.
Don’t Know what’s the secret formula the team of EA uses, but BY FAAAAR they Always Deliver the BEST REVIEWS on RUclips.
I Really Wish You Guys the BEST 💖
I stopped playing assassins creed after the third game. It still fells like the same thing. It gets boring
Well this is better now it's back!
@@TheSpeedfoever but it's still the same again. With another assassins creed.
@@eneseusm459though you should play the fourth game. I think its the most unique game of the franchise. Open ocean and the ship battle is really fun and one of the best story of assassin creed.
Lmao three is one of the worst in the series. I agree with you that it was all copy and paste up until the RPGs breathed life into what was a dying franchise. Origins is by far the best in the series as well as Odyssey. Valhalla is a lot better than most of the older AC games too.
@@hakangokhan9434 It's like your talking about a sports game that releases each year.
Would buy if i had a ps5
Definitely seems like AC is back to it's roots, at least in this one. Makes me want to buy it, and surprised (and I'm glad) that the Deluxe Version is definitely at a lower price than the usual AAA games nowadays.
its*
Holy shit. It's this the guy from game trailers. I've heard the final fantasy history of Final Fantasy on game trailers many times. It sounds like the exact same voice
Glad you found us!
Haven't played assassins creed since black flag I got tired of the yearly games but this feels more like the first one, any idea how long it lasts? Might play it if it's not 200 hours long
Received worse than Valhalla. Looks like gamers made their choice and they want 600 hours Assasin's Creed games. That is what Ubisoft will think.
Could also just be okay?
But then again, EA did review Watch Dogs: Legion an 8 and that game is awful. So take it how ever
I doubt that's how it's going to read. EVERY review so far is praising the game for the return to the franchise's roots and shorter completion time. An 8.0 is about right given the criticism. Valhalla was over-rated because reviewers simply jumped on the hype-wagon and did not have the time to complete a 600h+ game, which caused most fans to get burnt-out.
The game is mid, its not that deep
how did you come to the conclusion that the gmers already made their choice? lmao
Welp, this definitely one of the Assassin’s Creeds.
Assuming I ever finish Valhalla, I’ll grab this when it’s in the $20 bin.
As someone who finished Valhalla, it was such a bittersweet experience. Not the story itself, but the experience of playing it. The story gripped me and I enjoyed it, but it was so bloated and time-consuming that it still felt like a huge waste of time in the end. Easily the worst in the series and I played them all. I'm 100% certain Mirage is better, just because of the shorter length.
@@spiritlance364 I definitely feel the bloat you’re referring to in Valhalla. I play on PC so I’ve given myself infinite resources so that I can ignore the vast majority of the bloat and just focus on what’s good about the game…the world is beautiful, the story is great, the combat and skill tree are pretty cool.
Valhalla is probably my second or third favorite AC, with Origins being my fave.
@@SojiFro_0 While I was playing Valhalla, I remember thinking it was one of the best ACs too, but looking back, it's not even close, and I would never really pick it up again. The fact that you're bypassing the bloat will also give you a false impression of the game. I hope you enjoy your playthrough though.
I might have an unpopular opinion, but Odyssey is my favorite game in the series. It's basically my dream historical action-adventure rpg. I love most of the games in the series though in truth. Valhalla is one of the only ones that didn't stick with me.
@@spiritlance364 Idk if I’d call it a false impression per say but I get it; I’d probably never finish the vanilla version. Valhala actually has really strong bones, but the resource economy slows down the experience to a crawl way too often. Odyssey was even worse, imo. Origins is my favorite. Syndicate breaks my heart because the world, the story, the characters, the stealth were all dope…but level gating areas of the map and then throttling exp gain to sell boosters killed the experience. You can’t even mod.
When was the last time Ubi made a decent game, never mind a good game?
Mario + Rabbids instantly comes to mind.
AC hasn't been the same since they killed off Desmond.
AC would have been better off without Desmond since the beginning.
@@iitvoii no because then its just a generic action game
@@iitvoiiwrong.
Nice review!
Idk, i didn't play the game yet, but seems a bit underwhelming and i'm still dissapointed they spend so much time on, idk how much, dlc's for Valhallah, while it was already clear for a quite long time that Valhallah wasn't a very well received game. So they already could work on a new game(s) much earlier on. This reminds me alot of Origins and seems like a solid game, but not very polished or a step up to something better then the last games, since we are in next gen era for a while now. Valhallah's enviroments where nice tho. I heard this was supposed to be another Valhallah dlc, idk if that's true. But the price for the game seems to be okay!
I can't wait for a new more improved or a more stepped up game with all the good stuff we seen from the past 3 games and hidden behind all the dlc's. With smarter enemy ai, and increased according to difficulty and not just up the enemy hp and heavier hits from enemies when you set the difficulty higher. Thats getting really old. In this video Basim pulls a cupboard onto 2 guards and the one next to them doesn't react? 3:11 Or not so smart enemies just standing around in a smoke cloud? Ok mayb i'm too serious. 😄
Orgins has a great story and world, combat was a bit stiff, Odyssey had great combat, messy story, world was too big, so alot looked the same, Valhallah's story was ok, but combat was really bad with a world which was much too big again, looks like they can't nail it just right since Origins, which was a really nice "reboot". I like combat tho (ac odyssey and shadow of mordor/war combat i liked alot). I'm sure in a future game they will nail it! A 30hrs playthrough with not a super huge world is ok for me, i rather see new games then large amount of dlc's of an old game.
Some like stealth tho... so it's tricky to make a game that does both well. They could split the ac games up into stealth focussed (more stealthy then this mirage game, which is still very action based i think and not too hard? also to please the og ac crowd) and games that are more combat focussed in the future. So ac games that are more focussed on stealth and ac games that are focussed on combat with flashy attacks and moves etc. Maybe this is a start of that... i hope so! 🤔
I'm struggling to decide if i should by the game, because i think this game (eventho what this comment says) can still be fun to play! 👍
Valhalla sold incredibly well and has a 87 on metacritic. What? You didn't like it, That doesn't mean it wasn't well received.
@@pixelcount350 i finished that game but not the dlc's, i really didn't like the combat and i saw some vids about ppl who didn't like the combat either. ok it was well received, with a side note then, i would say... ok maybe i'm too stuborn to admit it
@@RocketJr. Yeah, Even now you can see the review scores on metacritic for Mirage and it's lower then Valhalla.
World looks great but characters look off like Starfield. Hoped that this generation we would see more detailed characters like Uncharted 4 (PS4).
It’s Ubisoft so it’ll go on sale big time. I have other games to play so maybe I’ll get it after the holidays
Really hoping to see new forza motorsports review .Thanks for video!
It's so sad what they did to AC series. This game has so much to love, the team working on the world design for example, put so much work into it. But the combat and AI detection is somewhat broken. Combat literally breaks the game it is so poorly made. I blame the Valhalla engine they are using for this. Combat in Origins and Odyssey was brutal but fair. In this game the simple act of switching your focus between two or three targets in combat work like 2 out of every 5 tries. I want to love this game, the world design and historical research shows passion, but the stealth and combat just feels way way off, and whoever is in charge of combat mechanics and AI needs to be replaced.
Great review keen to play!
Thanks Huber.
That's not a review, you just described the game bro
Holy shit. It's the same guy dude. I have heard that history of Final Fantasy absolutely love it. So much love this guy and his passion for gaming
I’ll hVe to get my hands on this
I disagree that Mirage is anything near an 8. The game is treading the same ground as those older entries with no charisma to show for it at all. It lacks innovation, it's buggy and it seems to only exist to serve those who want a 20-25 hour Assassin's Creed game. In some ways it reminds me of a modern version of Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines on the PSP.
nice tomorrow will be good.
Well looks like i want to get it soon after i beat mario and spider man 2
Still way too Ubisofty for me.
Sounds great!
A Ubisoft 8 is like a 6/10 from any other company
Valhalla was a 6 for me. Origins was a 7. Odyssey was a 10...and one of my favorites in the series.
Unity did it best (after all the patches).
It’s funny how committed Ubisoft is to such a played out, uninteresting franchise.
It's just a low effort cash cow that sheep keep lapping up, much like the COD franchise.
Unfortunately casual gamers think these games are excellent and aren't interested in broadening their horizons to other better games or genre's 🤷 It is what it is.
@@philbarton2832 power of marketing to the masses right? If a game doesnt have unlimited budget for marketing then why even bother playing it? lol
They're working on about 5 games at once, it seems like they don't put too much care & effort into the details and maybe even still hit the ceiling with this one..
1 one thing i hate about assassin creed mirage is the stenmia
i wanted it be at least like Rajnigandha :]
Assassin's Creed is back!
No sh*t
It never left
Soooooo basically an assassin's creed game like every other but shorter. I was hoping for much more but I was woefully naïve.
I'll pick this up second hand in a month or 2. SP always flood the market quickly on Ebay etc as people finish them fast and move on. Too many games on right now. BG3, Cyberpunk, Starfield.
I’ll be waiting for the Japan one
you got your wish granted today haha
Pass
It's 2023.. can't you upload in 4k?
Compare the amount of effort and character they put into Valhala or Unity, this just seem shallow
Effort and Valhalla don’t go together, it was a bloated mess of ideas slapped with a faded Assassin’s logo. Unity had loved poured into it, but was rushed out the door harder than a problem child who had just turned 18.
just watched the ac2 review from gt before this :)
At least it's NOTHING like Valhalla.
Sadly the next one will be a Witcher knock off again -.-
That's a shame, I got into the AC series through Odyssey, so I love the gameplay changes, and now it's back to the old formula.
its going back roots but only roots of one city ezio games.more than first game mirage look like brotherood between revolations .tihs game cant even be a dlc of first game in this form. it only can be prequel demo. first ac was big 3 city with biggest middle area to horse. the combat and ai on mirage also lacking compared first game. the combat of ezio games usually you need to kill 1 enemy then auto kill others qucikly or smoke bombs everone to kill rapidly. mirage like that too and worse the animation move kill. the firt ac game no smoke no autokill even no air kill makes game really good have to think and combat every enemy making you escape more. ac mirage like ezio games no need to escape or fear anything. there is no armor like or auto kills after fist enemy down like ezio games maybe yet mirage still too easy. enemyies both brutal but lack to see close friends dying. its 7 out of 10 game 8 score for this game high. for me ac1 is 9 and ezio games 8. ac origins look more to first game bcouse of openees and setting. orginis with mirage some elements can be great ac game. compared to first ac mirage closest resablme is musics all other ways cant touch first ac even for horse riding.the new ac trilogy introduce big areas and horse yet its so lacing compred first game bcouse horse only walk and slow run. there is no faster run or music on horse ride like in first game. this for last 3 games problems to not just mirage. they really need to improive ai imroive horse riding improve combat and instead of grey filter then need to add 1 more cold wheather crsitian city then ı can compare to mirage first game. ı cant to much hush about mirage bcouse three ezio games combine only be first game squel. ac2 was 50 percent smallr than first game but jsut bcouse of story and story cutscenes players praise to much. now mirage story and cutscenes even not that level and mirage what 70 percent smaller than first game from decades. ı can give 7 bcouse of setting but if it wast west game like this ai and combat reviews crush the game like 6 or 5 truth be told. ac unity and ac3 even have better combat.
Love ya Huber but I feel like you let this game off the hook in too many ways.
Huber somewhere just so disappointed.
You should upload these in 4K/UHD
looks like another chore of a game.
Seems like a bloated DLC. Just what I expected, which is like a remake of the first one.
I'm not a time traveller but i'm pretty sure Baghdad wasn't this dusty. It's precisely because it was a green spot near large rivers that it managed to grow into a metropole.
As for the gameplay, it honestly doesn't look remarkable.
14 hours in and yet to find any memorable characters, story is so vague and meh.... Personally while it looks kind of pretty sometimes, everything else about this title is just single-tone and dull.
It feels like in "going back to roots" all they did was hear a muffled chat about the original through a wall and went off that.
So less content for your buck and no innovation aka going back to the first 2 games. Guess thats what the fanbase wants 🤷♂️
Garbage game 3/10
So short and not even a good story? Pass.
Doesn't sound like an 8/10 at all. Maybe 15 years ago, 8/10, sure. More like 6/10; passable on a deep sale.
Ubisoft should just let the AC franchise sleep for like 20 years or something.
looks pretty bland to me. nothing exceptional or interesting after that long break. bummer.
this is the most filler assassins creed game i ever saw
20 hours to finish an open world game. There must be very little in that world to explore. At this point, it may as well have been a linear game. Deserts don’t seem a very appealing location ether.
I feel like this game is a big let down, given all the extra time they’ve had to make it something special.
❤
There is a time a developer has to let go of a franchise.And that time is with this series.
