Forget the stealth, story, graphics: the most wonderful thing about Assassin’s Creed Mirage are the cats
Assassin’s Creed Mirage has finally launched, inviting players into a visually stunning interpretation of Baghdad where we witness street thief, Basim, become a fully-fledged Hidden One.
Mirage has directly built upon past entries in the series, heralded as a ‘return to form’ for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, with a shorter story and fewer RPG mechanics to mess around with. In my opinion, Ubisoft has finally done a brilliant job at making you, the player, feel like a real assassin lurking through the towns of Baghdad on the hunt for trouble.
And what Mirage does lack, which is very little (unless you were hoping for combat to be a little more rigid), it makes up for in cats. That’s right. You heard me. One of the most wonderful things about Baghdad in Mirage is the cats – and there’s plenty of them.
