Assassin's Creed Mirage is one of the most honest games the series has seen in years. It didn't promise the world, but nothing it promised is missing. It's not an evolution, it's not a revolution, it's something you already love and have been starving for, for years.

#AssassinsCreed Despite being thirteen years old, this first game in the series still has more free, advanced, and empowering movement compared to most other games today. Until a few years ago, Assassin's Creed had always been marketed on the awe of its parkour.

@GenePark There's a dynamic element to not knowing when / where you might be attacked. Reading environments, playing off of Pawns, it raises the stakes and tension. You're not trying a room three times, you're doing your best to survive THIS unique scenario that may not ever happen again.

Claiming Assassin's Creed is not/shouldn't be political is very telling as to how many players just experience these games half-asleep. I'm sorry this series is ABOUT anti-fascism / anti-tyranny and that you don't like that. Really. That... must be very hard for you.

The sped-up version is definitely ideal for me. It maintains the pacing I want and expect from rapidly hitting object-chains in a dense, city environment like this. If something can be done to bring it more in line with that, that alone would be huge for general feel.

Honestly? Forward movement looks fine. You can see visibly that they put some work into it. The effort makes sense. This is the player's only real way to engage with nav, and in object-dense playspace they'll be doing it very often. Moving forward has to at least feel good.

Internal tests revealed that if you lock up the prisoner's food behind a wall and force them to tear it down with a sledgehammer, it leads to a sharp rise in engagement with the surrounding environment. Conclusion: Build more walls and provide a greater variety of hammers. Zzz

I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing that #AssassinsCreed Mirage has a similar parkour system to the RPG games. The system doesn’t have the depth of other games but Baghdad might make a difference. The city is denser, more urban and the buildings have more parkour elements.

Inspired by recent threads, since people who look up to me should see it; Players who love ACO-ACV aren't the cause of AC being the way it is now; Ubisoft is. Like us, these players have found deep resonance with something and most of them are very kind and reasonable.

It doesn't push the universe forward, and it doesn't damage it either. It's one of the faster, smoother stealth games in the entire franchise, and its focused scale means it's the perfect game to pierce into and devour if you've three or four days free to do some gaming.

It's funny. Both Unity and Mirage have an ability some players avoid for 'immersion,' represented through Animus-layer (Disguise, Focus). Really makes apparent which players see AC as its full picture and which lean on historical-only. Mirage's is more badass and useful, though.

Stealth kills animate fast. Good. Good world-design. Vision cones displayed during EV. Marksmen layer in target-prioritization (horns will do the same) and make heavily-guarded space feel right by denying comfort derived from scouting. Counter-kills. Tools use AMMO, not mana.

I've never requested early access to review/make videos on Assassin's Creed before but I'm going to try *VERY hard* for Mirage specifically. I don't even know if I'm going to like it yet but I want to do what I can to help as many people as possible, as early as possible.

I'd like to soon discuss why Mirage is so good and truly shines on Hard. Hard makes every part of it synthesize into what feels like its intended vision, embeds a player into the world more and pushes touching every system more consciously. Makes stealth's power feel better too.
