Assassin's Creed Mirage: A Nostalgic Return to the Series' Roots

Assassin's Creed Mirage aims to return to the franchise's roots in social stealth and investigation, but also feels like a mechanical throwback. The game features a local, intimate feel with a focus on detective work and gathering intel before assassinations. However, the traversal mechanics can be frustrating, with frequent unintended climbing and jumping. The combat system is described as simple and the mission structure emphasizes Basim's role as a detective. While the game shows promise, there are concerns about mechanical frustrations. Assassin's Creed Mirage will be released on October 5th.
