Highlights
Assassin's Creed Mirage has faced criticism from fans, particularly in regards to its graphics and character models, leading to debates within the gaming community.
Mirage, unlike its predecessors, places a stronger emphasis on classic stealth gameplay and minimizes the inclusion of RPG elements. This shift in focus has garnered praise and criticism from fans of the franchise.
Players have noted the reuse of assets and the presence of less-than-seamless animations in Mirage, which have affected their immersion. However, some users argue that these shortcomings are justified considering the game's limited development budget and lower launch price.
After its recent launch, there has been a significant amount of criticism towards Assassin's Creed Mirage from its fanbase. Many players have expressed their dissatisfaction with the game's graphics, particularly the character models.
Unlike the previous three installments in the franchise, AC Mirage focuses less on RPG mechanics and instead emphasizes the traditional stealthy gameplay seen in classic AC games. While many fans are pleased with this change and consider it a refreshing shift, it has also ignited heated debates within the gaming community. Despite being a smaller game compared to its predecessors, Assasin's Creed Mirage has received low ratings. Some critics point out that Mirage fails to capture the magic of the older games, while others are more concerned with the technical aspects of the game.
The character models in Assassin's Creed Mirage have been heavily criticized by fans on Reddit. Many players have complained that the character models look too similar to previous games in the franchise or even to games from over a decade ago. This Reddit post has gained a lot of attention, with over 22,000 upvotes and has become a major topic of discussion within the gaming community.
Aside from the character models, the animations in Mirage have also been scrutinized by players. Many have pointed out that the animations are not smooth, which takes away from the immersive experience of playing in 9th-century Baghdad. Some people believe that these issues are a result of Ubisoft reusing assets in multiple games. However, not all Redditors are being as critical of Mirage. Some users understand that the game has a smaller development budget and a lower launch price, which may have contributed to these flaws.
In the discussion thread, some Redditors took a more lighthearted approach and jokingly noted that Mirage perfectly captured the essence of older Assassin's Creed games, flaws and all. The reception of Mirage may influence Ubisoft's direction for future titles in the series, especially after Assassin's Creed Red, which will return to the RPG formula seen in Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins.
Currently, Assassin's Creed Mirage can be played on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, with an iOS version currently in development.
