00:00 Off the top of your head, can you say how many Assassin's Creed games have been published?
00:05 The answer is a lot.
00:06 But those of us who were around when the first game in the franchise came out remember how
00:10 breathtaking, groundbreaking, and game-changing it was.
00:13 Thankfully, the new Assassin's Creed Mirage is somewhat of a return to the basics.
00:19 Video Games Chronicle writes, "Assassin's Creed Mirage takes place around 900 years after
00:24 Assassin's Creed Origins, and around 10 years before Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
00:28 The game stars Basim ibn Ishaq, who you may remember from Assassin's Creed Valhalla's
00:34 campaign.
00:35 Mirage charts the start of Basim's journey with the Hidden Ones as he grows up on the
00:40 streets of Baghdad."
00:42 According to IGN, stealth is king again in Assassin's Creed.
00:46 Mirage does away with the XP and leveling your character completely, meaning every enemy
00:51 is just a hidden blade away from doom if you play your cards right.
00:55 Most areas have lots of ways to stay hidden, and the returning eagle scouting option helps
01:00 you check all angles before deciding your next move.
01:04 PC Gamer reports, "Mirage's combat is a strange reconstruction of the series' classic swordfighting,
01:11 complete with a counter-kill that lets your protagonist, Basim, instantly finish guards
01:16 after a successful parry, with the same basic feel of Valhalla's mushy group fights.
01:22 It's not the greatest, but you'll probably be spending most of your time avoiding fights
01:27 anyway, sneaking around and taking in the breathtaking Middle Eastern views."
