    From what I saw watching a few streams it seemed fine, closer to the original games but still having that slight off feeling of modern Ubisoft games. Seems like a good game on sale for $30

    I’m really enjoying it. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Is it the most fun I’ve had in AC since black flag? Probably yes.

    And considering it’s not even a full priced game, even better!

      Did you like Unity? Because I’m in the minority that didn’t like Unity. Love to hear someone’s opinion who says “most fun since Black Flag”, man that game was awesome

      Any updates to your experience? I’m interested in getting it but I’m wary they’ve made some bad additions or half baked elements.

      Is it truly a throwback to the older games?

    Dunkey said the map and lore are great, but the parkour and combat are not.

      Parkour looks like it’s taken at least 3 steps backwards. I always found it so frustrating to repeatedly press up against a wall instead of running up it, or leaping across little gaps instead of just walking the railing, or doing the little run up the wall and fall back down even when it’s clearly a climbable surface. It was slowly becoming less common in each game, but this one just looks like pure regression in terms of movement.

    Even though it went back to its roots I felt the sheath was near impossible. I even went back to black flag to see if I can still sheath in it. I had no issues in black flag but in mirage I just can’t seem to sheath around without someone finding me. Story not bad, parkour is hit or miss which does feel more like older Assassin Creed.

      It’s because the game is just mechanically Valhalla, the worst stealth iteration in the entire series. You would try to bow someone from a tree, hood up, completely unseen and the moment he dies the random soldier behind 3 walls 200 feet away knows exactly where you are and now you’re in combat. Trying to go back to their roots using the same engine as Valhalla was a major misstep.

    Assassin’s creed lasting as long as it has is remarkable. They’ve never been good games and only became marginally better over time.

    Edit: feel free to downvote, your tastes are bad and you should feel bad.

      Hard disagree. The best games were the Ezio trilogy and Black Flag. And a lot of people hated Black Flag because it wasn’t a game about an Assassin, but it had all the best mechanics from the previous games plus the best ship gameplay and it had an excellent voice cast.

      Unity was great, after they fixed it. But the series nosedived after that.

      I agree, every ac game is a copy of it’s former. it was good once when the idea was fresh but today, a game so repetitive doesn’t pass for me and every story is the same only a different location.

      A research team investigate a guy from some country who had a bad childhood, had the same hawk with same abilities - climbing of thousands of high buildings, infiltrating or raiding villages, has a ship that helps him get to these villages. And do it over and over again.

      Oh, and don’t forget the millions of collectibles that are really hard to find since the map doesn’t help you with that.

      Never been able to finish a single game of ac
