My hours on Steam don't reflect how much I played the game. Review made after almost 90 hours on Uplay!

This game was flooded with negative reviews when it made it on Steam. And I can understand in a way why people give Ubisoft crap. But, as a long time fan of this series, Mirage was everything I hoped for when they said they'll make an old school styled AC game with Valhalla's engine. I did not build crazy expectations, everything they said they will, they did. An old school AC game with what they had to work with.
They took everything I disliked about Valhalla, and only kept what I enjoyed the most, and put it into a small game.
Is the parkour amazing? No.
Is the gameplay amazing? Nope.
Is the story a masterpiece? No.
But, this is the closest thing we've been to a normal AC game since Syndicate. And as someone that grew up playing AC on my old Nokia phone, AC Mirage delivered all I asked for. If we change the whole Loki BS, and the focus multi kill, this is just a simple down to earth AC game, like in the first game.
I like this game. I like the atmosphere. I like the soundtrack. And yes, I like the story, and the parkour. For something that was supposed to be a DLC for Valhalla, this is a great AC game.
However, seeing as the series only goes worse and worse by the day, this will probably be the last AC game I'll ever buy/play.
I'm an old time fan of this franchise, played each game, but seeing how Shadows looks like, and all the other future AC games have been leaked... It's anything but the series I grew up with. Which is why Mirage has a soft spot for me.
And why, as much as it's trendy to hate Ubisoft, I appreciate that they made it.

Its 2024 why cant we have lips match the words coming out of the characters mouths. AC2 did better than this smh

Нарешті Асасін про асасинів, з великих мінусів зазначу лише одне — це ubisoft.
