Assassin’s Creed Mirage might be a leaner game than the past few Assassin’s Creed epics, but it still provides its own fair share of funky goings on that may not make much sense to newcomers.
I loved Mirage’s finale, which lifted things just as Baghdad’s exploration and investigation loop started to feel a little over-familiar. But I was also left wondering how more casual players – the same ones drawn in by the promise of a more back-to-basics experience – would fare with the game’s typically sci-fi finale, and the revelations about Mirage’s main character that anyone who played 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla would already have been aware of.
So let’s talk about all of that, and hopefully puzzle out what it all means. Full spoilers lie ahead for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and also the movie Fight Club.
