Assassin’s Creed Mirage<\/em> is the latest in the franchise and is releasing on Oct. 5. After the open-world RPG setting of Odyssey<\/em> and Valhalla, <\/em>many (ourselves included) began feeling they were no longer playing Assassin’s Creed<\/em> games. Sure, the Norse and Greek environments were well developed, but somebody who had only played the first two Assassin’s Creed<\/em> games wouldn’t have even believed these were sequels of the same franchise.<\/p>
Assassin’s Creed Mirage <\/em>looks like a return to form in what made the first games so well received\u2014both in terms of setting and gameplay mechanics.<\/em> The fact the game is set in one singular and well-fleshed-out city is already promising\u2014we don’t need a massive environment in Assassin’s Creed<\/em>, just a well-developed one.<\/p>
