TechRadar Verdict
Assassins Creed Mirage returns the series to its roots with enormous success.
These investigations are always interesting and multi-faceted.
It is certainly one of the series most beautifully realized city tweaks.

The only thing perhaps more interesting than Baghdad, however, is Basim himself.
Whether Basim is a street thief or a fully-trained Assassin, he is smart, perceptive, and ambitious.
There are always multiple routes over, around, up, and across buildings and walls.
Basim fights like a nimble, lightly-armed, assassin whos more used to stealth and the shadows.
The stealth inAssassins Creed Mirageis possibly the best in the series.
This comes with a greater emphasis on patience, choosing routes carefully, and generally being super sneaky.
Your small but honed assassins toolkit that gives you everything you need.
The pickpocketing in particular is deeply satisfying and trying to master the technique is a fun challenge.
In-game, the AI and enemies are fairly ignorant in familiar ways.
It feels great to be an Assassin again.
