Assassin's Creed Mirage Review

The game pushes you to use stealth, assassination mechanics and hiding from enemies. In this regard, it is possible to say that even old AC games use fewer stealth mechanics. If you remember, in Assassin's Creed: Revelations, it was possible to kill hundreds of Janissaries only with the block and counterattack mechanics. However, in Assassin's Creed Mirage, fighting even five enemies at the same time will be enough to kill you.

If you are ready, let's examine together what Assassin's Creed Mirage promises!

Combat Mechanics

Assassin's Creed Mirage offers four different combat mechanics. The first of these mechanics is the light attack, which is fast but does little damage to the enemy. Your second attack type is the heavy attack, which allows you to deal high damage to the enemy but has a long casting time. The third combat mechanic is parry, which allows you to counter the enemy's attacks and damage the enemy by taking advantage. The last mechanic is the dodge, which protects you from incoming attacks even though it does not cause any damage.

Assassin's Creed Mirage does not offer any weapon upgrades or weapon swaps. For this reason, although the combat mechanics of the game are limited, this gives the old Assassin's Creed flavour. Alternatively, you can use smoke bombs or daggers. Smoke bombs are an effective method to distract your opponent and escape from enemies. Since daggers are throwable weapons, they allow you to hunt your enemies from long distances or distract your enemies.

Stealth Mechanics

Assassin's Creed Mirage has a system where NPCs do not notice you unless you enter their line of sight and give a warning when they start to notice you. To hide from enemies, you can climb high buildings and rooftops or hide in flowers and bushes. You can also draw the attention of your enemies by whistling in your hiding place and assassinate them.

However, the enemy's artificial intelligence does its best not to notice the player. Even if you kill or strangle an enemy's friend near him, he won't notice you. This lack of awareness of artificial intelligence reduces the enjoyment you get from the stealth sections of the game. When you realize that there is a certain route in the game and that the artificial intelligence is designed not to notice you when you follow that route, you will realize that your fun from the game decreases.

Skill Tree

While Assassin's Creed Mirage does not allow the player to upgrade their equipment, it does allow them to upgrade their abilities. As you progress in the game and complete tasks, you can earn skill points and use these points to diversify your gameplay mechanics. AC: Mirage's skill tree includes three different gameplay styles: Phantom, Trickster, and Predator. The Phantom part of the skill tree focuses on assassination and stealth, the Trickster part focuses on theft, and loot, and the Predator part focuses on your perceptions.

Level Design

Although the Assassin's Creed series is not a game series that stands out with its level designs, Assassin's Creed Mirage breaks down this wall and offers levels where players can use different methods and routes. Even in the initial missions of the game, you can conduct assassinations using at least four different methods. Although the story progresses smoothly, your small actions and choices will change the experience you get from the game.

Side Quests

Although Assassin's Creed Mirage does not force players to complete side missions, you can obtain coins that allow you to use different routes and methods in the main story by completing them. The routes you open with these coins are necessary to increase your fun of the game and diversify your gaming experience. Since you no longer have to level up, we can say that Ubisoft has started to assign logical purposes to side missions.

Is Assassin's Creed Mirage Worth Playing?

If you like old Assassin's Creed games and are looking for a similar experience enhanced with today's graphics, Assassin's Creed Mirage is a game you should try. Moreover, Assassin's Creed Mirage will make you feel like an assassin by pushing players to use stealth mechanics. The biggest difference between Assassin's Creed Mirage and older AC games is that it encourages players to use stealth mechanics.
