Assassin's Creed Mirage Launch Edition (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk) (PS5)

Amazing game! Basim is as bad as it gets. From the very beginning Basim starts to turn into an egotistical assh*le. His ego grows and grows. To start with he is quite helpful and kind to the inhabitants of Anbar but as time goes on. Basim becomes more self absorbed with being more than human. Nehal is a cunning and bitter twat of an imaginary friend who's only goal is to make Basim a more selfish kind of assassin and as assassins go that is unacceptable to the brotherhood. The creed comes before any individual pleasures and Basim wanted to see what he could become. Well, he does and the ending is awesome as Basim gets clawed for his antics throughout the game by Enkidu as the bird recognised that he became sometging else entirely. He was always destined to be Loki and Roshan should have ended him the moment she started noticing he was becoming more and more obsessed with finding out what secrets the artefact held about himself. It wasn't to see if he could help others and he even insinuates roshan controlled him. Which isn't the case. Basim to start with says that " He is merely the son of a public servant who dedicated his life to the betterment of his people..... Only to slighted and forgotten. " So all this crap about basim not being evil to start with. Not at the very start but Basim was already a bitter man and he became resentful even back in the Abbasid Caliphate days. Basim is a good assassin. Nothing special though. But compare him to Bayek of Siwa and Basim literally sucks in every way, shape and form. Don't get me wrong I like what Basim stands for to start with. But as soon as he starts his stupid egotistical bs. That was it for me. Basim is so easy to hate and the game makes no qualms about showing you his true colours from the very outset. The game does have a decent story though. But basim is not a nice or well rounded assassin. He is a man who's only goal is to be something more than human. Which should yell you all you need to know about his own hubris in that particular aspect. Basim is like that nice kid who won't shut up about how much he should be this and that. Only to one day reach his goal and completely become a not so nice arrogant d'bag with one goal in mind. To be better than everyone else. That's my 2 cents as to what I understood from the game. Basim was ultimately always going to be the bad guy as he wanted more than what being a human had to offer. Arrogance personified is what Basim is.

Received on time and perfect condition. I'm only 1 hour in and already this is a great direction for AC. Smooth combat and great see stealth back front an centre rattan than the bloat of the last 3 entries. This is what I have been waiting for and we'll done to the small team of devs. Def recommend if you like old school style with a sprinkle of new. Tight narrative and great combat with multiple ways to take your foes down. This makes you feel like an assassin again. Hands down best game since syndicate and so far great story and absolutely stunning graphics on the ps5 great value for money. Don't listen to the haters try it for yourself.

Firstly, the graphics are beautiful. Views from the tops of buildings are great. Movement, combat, tools/gadgets are all good, and it was refreshing to be able to install the game fully in well under an hour with no massive downloads and patches to have to install first. That being said, this is no Valhalla. The storyline, varieties of weapons and armour, horses (or wolves), range of characters, and the huge maps on multiple worlds in Valhalla was nothing short of incredible to me - definitely one of the greatest games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. This is not the same. At no point do you even exit the animus. This is one map, and not particularly large at that, especially for a newly released PS5 game. Storyline is OK but not nearly as immersive as some of its predecessors. I can also see the game as a whole can be completed in less than half the time. But keep in mind this is also reflected in the price. £45 for a newly released game, compared to £65 or so. This is a decent game, good fun, and it'll certainly give you many hours of gameplay - but it is not at the same level as others, and by the look of things, they weren't trying to. I'd still recommend this to those who enjoy other ACs. You'll still enjoy it. Just don't expect quite as much.

Even better with the free expansion added

Great game. Long enough to make the money worth!

As an older gamer with slower responses and less nimble fingers, the game was quite playable but still a challenge on the easy level. I managed to play the game all the way through which is more than I can say for some games which don't take disabilities into consideration, making them impossible to play beyond a certain 'boss' point. Can't think of any negatives. Didn't have any visual glitches or crashes which was surprising considering the game has just been released. Maybe a couple of minor irritations: 1. The investigations menu was a bit too stretched out. Too sprawling. 2. If you forget to solve enigmas when you come across them it is usually too late to figure them out later when you've forgotten where you found them as they typically refer to the locality they were found. It might be useful if you could somehow subsequently relate enigmas to where you found them.

Great game and nice edition

I completed this game in just a few days... I am really disappointed as normally this franchise makes games that are pretty much infinite. The storyline was good and the graphics were awesome, but it was over so quickly and considering the price I feel slightly cheated.
