This is my least favorite of the two DLC's for AC Odyssey. I really liked the order of the ancient's and how we got to explore parts of the map that we didn't before. The order had this way of making us be in the wrong, and even turning civilians against us. The boss fights were straightforward, but the bosses themselves were presented magnifically. The new abilities were a nice touch and better than most that came with the main game. If all of this is true, why do I prefer fate of Atlantis? First of all, I'm pretty sad that we never got to actually use the hidden blade, but Darius was a decent enough character. Like I stated earlier, the bosses felt no different from the main game except in the story department. Yet again just like the main game, this DLC has a ton of side bloat. The romance was fine but didn't need to be added or forced, especially that last scene. The missed potential in this DLC just makes me look back on it and think why ubisoft. If you're thinking of picking up the DLC's, this one isn't too bad, especially if you liked the main story. PS: Get the season pass, it comes with both DLC's and AC3 remastered.

Ubisoft listened to the fans and went back to the original format of these games, but did it work out? AC mirage is a mix of perfect parkour, perfect stealth, but mediocre at best combat. You work as an assassin in Baghdad to overthrow the corrupt masterminds that control the city behind the shadows. The graphics are amazing, just like every AC game before this one. Stealth in this game isn’t difficult, but its a ton of fun when you pull out the throwing knifes and watch your enemies fall one by one. If your a fan of the older assassin games, this is a great step in the right direction. Do I think it’s perfect? No, but that doesn’t change the fact that I really do enjoy this game.
After completing: I put down this game for a while after feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. I picked it up at the beginning of this month to see if I could finish it. While I still think my original review stands, I think I have some more things to add. First, please try to use all the tools to your advantage, especially in bigger fights with bigger enemies. The combat doesn’t really change apart from that, so don’t get your hopes up. I heard that if you play AC valhalla you’ll get a better understanding of the story so I’ll be playing that next, but it’s not required. There is a plot twist, but by the time it happens you already see it coming. Overall, I think this games is worth the 20 hours I put in to it, and I still have more to go.
