An old school experience tailored towards a more casual gamer.
Assassins Creed: Mirage is a fun time.
In respects to gameplay it’s very refreshing to have an old school game that doesn’t require hours of learning and practise to understand, simply allowing a jump straight in approach.
The story was also quite engaging, though not the most original, it nonetheless entertained me. A common complaint I’m hearing about this game is due to its length, and although it was indeed short (only taking me about 25 hours to platinum), I honestly had a great time being able to have an approachable game that didn’t require a massive time sink.
It is quite dependent on taste, as someone who sunk over 3000 hours into live service games, but simply doesn’t have enough time to play these days, it was refreshing to have a short and sweet game that I could pickup whenever I had the chance, but from the perspective of someone who is able to invest a lot more time, paying $60 for a game you could finish in a day or two – well it may not be for you then.
AC: Mirage is a brilliant game for a more casual gamer, but for someone who has more investable time you may find more satisfaction in picking it up on sale in a few months.
