Assassin's Creed Mirage is more like syndicate than Valhalla/Other RPGs
In terms of gameplay I mean. I personally think its the better of the 2 because the story although lacking it's still better than syndicate. I feel the AC Valhalla DLC in the game but i believe the game in terms of gameplay is identical to syndicate, counters, stuns, throwing knives, stealth etc etc. Just wanted to make that statement after playing syndicate another time.
Here comes the obligatory why ac mirage is a really good AC game:
The most Assassin's Creed Assassin's Creed game since brotherhood.
The parkour was improved upon because the map.
The combat feels more ninja like and more assassin-y than other games.
The map/graphics are really beautiful. Ubisoft has never missed on map design but this one really took me because i live near where the map is and they really did it justice and i can see how much detail they put into everything.
Basim is so cool as a character and big part of it is his voice. as much as i miss the old VA i think the new VA did an amazing job or even better, you can kinda feel the old basims voice in the last scene where he talks with the jinn and let's it take over/breaks free from it and after Enkidu attacks him. The new VA is really talented.
Side quests are really good too.
Perma death+master assassin is a good challenge aswell.
I should mention it's negatives too: The story is lacking but it's not boring
The cutscenes are really good if motion captured or if they are pre assassination cutscenes but thats like 10% of all the main story animations, most of the times the cutscenes just look weird.
Collectibles can get boring if you are 100%ing the game but i feel like thats every open world game.
The AI is as stupid as Ubisoft AI has ever been.
You clip into bodies a lot when attacking/ assassinating.
Brutes.
That swing assassination on sitting targets and others.
Please give the game a try if you got the time. Enter with an open mind and i promise you won't regret it. This game does both RPG elements of games and Assassin elements of the game justice.
