Assassin's Creed: Mirage

The Assassin's Creed: Mirage brings the series back to stealth. The action takes place in ninth-century Baghdad, and the hero is the young thief Basim. Basim is looking for his place among the assassins. The city is divided into quarters with different security. There are story and side quests. Visibility affects how quickly the hero is found. The leveling is noticeably more modest than the previous units, but there are more tools: smoke bombs, firecrackers and throwing knives help distract the guards. Crowds and cover matter just as much as weapons. Tools help distract guards. Tools are purchased and upgraded from merchants. Rumors in the market suggest where to look for targets. Notes and finds reveal the history of the city. Quests are divided into plot and contracts, and the streets of the city are connected by roofs. Parkour has become more responsive, and flying on eagles has been replaced by observation. Crowds and cover are more important than open combat. Stealth missions reward accuracy. Tools can be improved and customized. Key assignments allow for different approaches. The campaign is shorter than usual, but denser in events. The patches concerned vehicles and tasks. Contracts give money and equipment. Parkour allows you to escape across the rooftops. Roofs serve as convenient escape routes. The hero's visibility affects the behavior of the guards. Tools are collected and upgraded using materials. For those who missed the old formula, this city is suitable. Updates were ruled by parkour and combat. The updates concerned management. Later the controls and parkour were improved. Treasures and notes are hidden throughout the city. Districts of the city differ in security and conditions.
