Assassin’s Creed Mirage on PS5
I don’t know about you, but I sure was getting pretty stressed out looking at the hundreds of ? icons on my world map in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, feeling like I’d never be able to see everything that game had to offer. The shift to a more RPG-centric experience felt fresh and novel when Origins did it, Odyssey built upon it and thrived, but by the time Valhalla rolled around, it got exhausting. I’m sure the glut of other 100-hour open-world games that released during those years didn’t help either.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a real breath of fresh air in that regard. Here, we have a game that truly wants to revisit its series roots by giving us a much smaller adventure in terms of scale. A game that doesn’t see the need to thrust you into an open-world with a laundry list of a thousand things to do. A game that you can actually feasibly beat within a week. Imagine that!
