The latest installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise is now here, and it's a welcomed return to its original roots. Stepping back from the massive open-world RPG-style gaming that the last three entries have provided, Mirage takes us back to a smaller map-size setting.
You'll still be able to explore this open world with a visually impressive recreation of 9th-century Baghdad, but with a scaled-down map, the focus is back on stealth, parkour, and carefully planned assassinations.
The story is said to only take 20 hours to finish and a bit over 30 hours for 100 percent completion. This is a much shorter run-through, compared to the over 100 hours I've poured into Odyssey, and I am only at 70 percent completion. Mirage should still be received with open arms as the adventure continues in this fresh new experience for the series. A must-play for both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise. Out now across all platforms.
