With a smaller game, Ubisoft Bordeaux creates a focused campaign that’s a counterpoint to past projects
“Assassin’s Creed Mirage” follows the exploits of Basim ibn Ishaq, who plays a pivotal role in “Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.” sometimes less is more. That’s how I felt over the past three iterations of the series that covered the Egyptian, Greek and the Viking civilizations. They were sprawling epics that pushed players to explore leagues of rolling hills, seascapes and deserts. They also required an inordinate amount of time to complete.
In many ways, “Assassin’s Creed Mirage” is a throwback to what made the early titles so good. As in other chapters, it follows the growth of an outsider into the Assassin Brotherhood and wraps that development around a singular city. In this case, Basim explores Baghdad and surrounding areas during the Abbasid Caliphate.
Each stealth kill also raises a meter with which Basim can cash in via an Assassin Focus attack, in which players freeze time and mark several enemies and eliminate all the adversaries at once. It’s helpful in crowded rooms where maintaining stealth is important. “Mirage” uses Baghdad’s districts to create distinct locales around the central ringed city and its surroundings. Each investigation takes place in a new Baghdad section, which has its own bureau and antagonists. This way, it builds a mystery that players solve while learning the complex layout of the municipality. It’s a natural way to ease newcomers into the gameplay and missions.
