In the mood for some digital tourism but don't want to leave the comfort of your home? While you can book a ticket to ancient Baghdad, as Assassin's Creed Mirage is now on sale for Black Friday 2023. These are best prices we've seen for the game so far, which just launched in October.
Unlike the previous game, Mirage returns to the roots of Assassin's Creed with a stealth-focused adventure. It's a smaller game in comparison, but still an impressive recreation of history that you can sneak through and explore, pouncing on targets who aren't aware of your plans to introduce them to a sliver of sharpened steel. While the standard edition is priced at $40 (normally $50), you can get the deluxe edition for $45. This will unlock a Prince of Persia-inspired outfit, eagle and mount skins, weapons, a digital art book, and the game's soundtrack for you, which isn't too bad for just $5 extra.
«Assassin's Creed Mirage is a true prequel to Valhalla, only able to tell a compelling narrative arc for Basim with the knowledge of what he becomes later in life,» Jordan Ramée wrote in GameSpot's Assassin's Creed Mirage review. «At the very least, you don't need an encyclopedic understanding of Assassin's Creed to appreciate Basim's growth from a young street thief to a duty-bound assassin to a truth-seeking detective as he looks into the interconnected investigations that unlock the enjoyable Black Box assassination missions. And though uninteresting characters mar the experience, an emphasis on social stealth and a history-rich city curate a fun (and educational!) gameplay loop.»
