Assassin's Creed: Mirage showed that there's still life in stealth-focused Assassin's Creed games. The recent standalone release has garnered praise from fans and critics alike. It's the first stealth entry in the series since 2015's Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, but did it pay off? Where does the stealth focus of Assassin's Creed: Mirage stand when compared to the RPG styles of games such as Assassin's Creed: Valhalla?

This article will delve into how Mirage matches, and occasionally surpasses, the three prior Assassin's Creed games. Here are ten areas where stealth Assassin's Creed excels over the RPG games.

1 A More Compact Map

Navigation in a Smaller Setting

Unlike the sprawling maps of RPG Assassin's Creed games, stealth editions focus on single or small-city settings, allowing for a more concise and lively exploration experience.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage embraces a tighter map design, making Baghdad feel vibrant and unique, free from the bloat often seen in larger RPG games.

2 Emphasis on Stealth Gameplay

Returning to the Roots

Mirage reintroduces the core stealth elements that define the series, offering a refreshing return to the traditional sneaky gameplay of Assassin's Creed.

3 Streamlined Skill Tree

Focusing on Meaningful Abilities

Unlike the bloated skill tree of Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, Mirage presents a more focused tree, prioritizing impactful abilities over excessive statistics.

The end result is a more purposeful and streamlined progression system.
