For a game that was originally a DLC turning into more of a down sized mini game its quite fun and decent if you miss classic AC.

They can still make good budget games. There doesn't seem to be any original idea here.

Pretty much. I’m watching a review now, and it does look good. I’m just hoping for at least one new mechanic we haven’t seen before.

I don't have it, it's from WCCFTECH article
Assassin's Creed Mirage Is Another Subpar PC Port
Assassin's Creed Mirage on PC is playable, but still quite disappointing when considering the passable visuals and uneven performance.

Well, those scores are quite lower than I predicted lol. Anyway, will still pick it up eventually but as I stated in another thread, October is way too stacked and my day 1's are Spider-Man 2 and Lords of the Fallen.

There aren't really any mew mechanics. The way the story progresses and who you want to target is none linear though and the way you discover the cases and investigate feels fresh.

Not too bad. A bit disappointing to hear there does not seem to be much in the way of innovation, now that they're finally going back to the 'simpler' Assassins Creed style. And especially that the characters and story is not as strong as some of the better entries.
A back-to-basics Assassins Creed experience with a lovable MC and a cool pseudo-mystical conspiracy story in a cool location that only lasts 20 hours sounds awesome on paper. Even more so when imagining how deep the locations could be, if they pooled the giant open maps of Valhalla/Odyssey into a much more dense location. But I guess this is not quite there.
If I had the time though, I'd give this game a shot. Despite their flaws, I've always enjoyed exploring the world of all the Assassins Creed games I played.

Looks like a lot of the reviews in the 70s are saying the same thing.
It's a "shame" for the Developers because I've not seen a Ubisoft team this passionate about going back to roots, but you can only do so much on a 6 year old engine that started off as a DLC.
I know I'll have fun with it, £30 for a more focused Assassin story is what I've wanted since 2017 and luckily all future AC projects seem to be where the innovation will lie.

It’s Valhalla DLC repurposed as a full title

I've played pretty much every AC game from day one but will wait on that one.
Thank you

for the review!My reason for holding out may sound silly but I really don't care for Basim.
He has zero charisma & the personality of a bag of rocks.
Every chance I had in Valhalla I either insulted him or punched him
I'm also still neck deep in Starfield and recently Cyberpunk 2077.

These reviews seem alright to me - I'll consider picking it up especially with the lower MSRP. I was going to wait for a sale and still might... But I'm really tempted. I am new to the series but really love the old games and like seeing some mechanics return. Doesn't seem like it has the economy system from old games which is a shame but still. Wish all the stuff in the deluxe wasn't digital, I'd definitely bite.

Honestly expected better.
I was debating this or fifa 24 to purchase on Friday and will just get fifa. This doesn’t seem to be a must play even for AC fans unfortunately.
With Spider-Man 2 and Alan wake 2 later this month I can focus on more cyberpunk/sea of stars with fifa until spidey.

Pass.
Ubisoft are going to have to work a lot harder to get me to reengage with their product than just an updated recreation of something I played 15 years ago.

I’d say it’s more than repurposed DLC if the campaign’s 20hrs.

That and not committing to full old school Assassin's Creed gameplay. Instead, from what the reviews are saying, it falls short on both fronts by being a mix of the RPG Valhalla/Origins/Odyssey and earlier titles which makes it a Frankenstein game.
Ubisoft need to give AC a chance to breathe if they want to lessen the RPG elements. Tighten the map so it avoids excessive landscape bloat, tune the story to be more focused on utilising said landscape and cut down on the RPG stat fat that's been bloating new games lately.

Exactly what I expected. It looked like just a boring retread on all the past games. The whole reason they stopped making those games is because they waned in popularity and were becoming stale. Then fans started whining not actually knowing what they want, the experience of playing the games they played in the past, which is impossible to recapture because that was the first time you played it and you were likely younger and in a different state of mind.

Man, the toxic negativity here is nuts.
I thought we decided that reviewers need to use the “full scale” and 7+ was a good game?

they really should just make a sequel. that world and those characters were great.
as far as Mirage. its about what i thought. anytime you cut scope soooo much its going to just make the game boring much more quickly.

Is it safe to say that Assassin’s Creed Red is their next big one? The one in Japan?

I don't think the current Ubisoft would make a game with toxic masculinity like Black Flag.
Little reminder that even the introduction video of this game was censored.

Yep. Now if that scores 75 then I'd be worried. Mirage is simply some AC Rogue type shit that was never going to score 80 realistically. It's not meant to be treated like the next big thing, evident by its price tag.
