Assassin's Creed Mirage Blends Old and New Gameplay for a Classic Yet Modern AC Experience
-
Mirage feels like a return to AC's roots but smartly implements mechanics from later games for a modern feel.
-
Smaller map, social stealth, and single protagonist echo early AC games, but RPG elements like skills remain.
-
Combat is tougher, encouraging stealth and tools over direct fights like early AC games.
-
Investigation missions to deduce target identities are reminiscent of AC1 and Odyssey.
-
Non-linear "Black Box" assassinations reward preparation and strategy like Hitman or Unity.
