Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: mirages, strange places, and superheroes.
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We’ve Been Playing, here’s our archive.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Xbox Series X
What a breath of fresh air Assassin’s Creed Mirage is. After a trilogy of hulking, hundred-hour Assassin’s Creed sagas, I’m far enough through Mirage – in one week – that the end is in sight. And I don’t want to leave. Ubisoft Bordeaux’s version of Baghdad feels dense, detailed, lived-in and exotic, all sun-drenched and alluringly unknown. And the history nerd in me is enjoying learning all about the period’s advancements in technology and astronomy.
