Didn't include review quotes this time, as it exceeded the character limit for the post

By the time Assassin's Creed 2 came out, I was calling this my favorite series ever. The Ezio games made you feel like an expertly skilled badass with unprecedented success, and the stealthy, agile archetype is my favorite to inhabit. Even the gameplay loop was fresh and borderline revolutionary, and so successful it became the basis for what would soon be tarnished as the Ubisoft blueprint.

Last game I played was Odyssey, and though I spent...a lot of time on it, I've never felt more bitter at the end of the game. Seems you only get half the conclusion by completing the story missions, with the other half locked away behind the assassination list. And since any enemies 3 or more levels higher than you are always essentially indestructible, and the assassination targets climb very high in levels, it's essentially a driver for bottomless grinding. By that point I'd already had far more than my fill.

I was casually interested in Mirage, but I learned from Skillup's video that it's essentially an upscaled Valhalla DLC, which is a red flag. With other reviewers pointing out that it, well, feels like upscaled DLC, I've no interest personally.

Damn, every single reviewer is salty that an Assassin's Creed game turned out to be an Assassin's Creed game. I bet not a single one of them finished the game before penning their reviews.

Assassin's Creed Mirage Review 6.5 / 10 SavisGame

Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a really good game, but it feels like an outdated work of the past that hasn’t been modernized enough to keep up with current developments in game design philosophy. The repetition of limited gameplay mechanics and weak artificial intelligence are quite evident in the game, and these factors combine to make the overall experience look mediocre.

SavisGame Score: 6.5 out of 10
