Assassin’s Creed means something different to everyone. For some, it's all about the flashy parkour. For others, the main appeal is the high-fidelity recreation of historical settings. There are even those who love the series’ complicated lore, which combines science fiction with a revisionist take on human history’s most important figures.
Every subsequent Assassin’s Creed game has leaned into or pulled away from what fans love most about it. And no design decision splintered the fan base more than Ubisoft’s ditching the GTA-style open-world action genre of older games in favor of an RPG closer to something like The Witcher 3. For Steam users who preferred the simpler Assassin’s Creed games of old, the series’ often-requested return to form has finally arrived on their digital storefront of choice. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the perfect jumping-on point for lapsed fans who hoped the series would one day return to its roots.
