Assassin's Creed Mirage

one of my Favorite Assassin's Creed games

The game is mid, going back to basics was kinda refreshing, but the gameplay is only enjoyable while doing stealth. Combat is unfun, unnecessarly easy and so repetetive its actually crazy. Story is ok, i guess, however the free DLCs are adding some better quests, so overrall its quite alright, nothing crazy. If you like the franchise it could be enjoyable, but underwhelming. 6/10

loveeeeeeeee

Clunky controls, basic/unlikeable characters and absolutely criminal voice acting. I came back to this since I've played all AC games up to this point but I can't stomach this crap.

Лучшая игра про Ассасинов !!!

Жаль, что нет русской озвучки. Но всё таки игра норм.

сюжет не втягивает, но все остальное бомба советую

The worst part about this game is in the voice acting and I do mean voice acting. The game uses some sort of system to handle to the body animations and facial animations. Unfortunately, at least coming off the back of the old games, is a glaring problem because the old games had motion capture and likely hand animated face expressions (at least up until they could do facial capture too). This gave each character notable personalities and mannerisms that give them life. None of these characters feel like they have any life to them. However, many other games also use systems similar to this, such as, Mass Effect, Witcher if I'm not mistaken, Bethesda Games, etc. but more often than not you don't get this soullessness feeling from their characters. The bigger issue is that the voice acting is essentially every character falls extremely flat. There's no emotion in what anyone is saying, most lines are read with no notable inflections to make it seem like it's actually people having conversations. It also is obvious that people have to read their lines, and I do mean read because it sounds like people are genuinely just reading words on paper for the first time, but anyway, it's obvious people have to read their lines in a slower manner than they actually talk in order for whatever system they have in place not to break. Like, if someone is talking too fast, the mouthing would be able to keep up I would imagine. In turn, this games everything you do feel solely like a task than you going towards a particular goal as you won't really have any investment in the characters or what they're talking about. Outside of the story and voice acting however, I enjoy this game to play from time to time even though it's not exactly captivating. For context, I played AC1-AC: Revelations as a kid and I've played AC: Syndicate. I played like a couple hours of Origins but wasn't intrigued by the setting. All this to say that, as someone who only occasionally experiences Assassin's Creed these days, I'm not burnt out on the gameplay and whatnot like most so I do find this game rather fun to play. I bought this one in particular as it seemed it'd fall in line more with the old school AC games and I do feel it does. My biggest issue is that the parkour really isn't fluid like at all and it's hard to have precise control of your actions. Eventually you get used to it but I feel like the old games had the system nearly perfect. I'm not yet done with the game but I believe I'm very close to the end and I don't see my opinion on it changing from this.
