Most notable is Assassin’s Creed Mirage – a game that is expected to bring this popular series back to its roots by not following the popular open-world gameplay style like previous installments but returning to with adherence to the plot. This is also what has made the Assassin’s Creed series successful over the years. However, these waits only bring disappointment. Despite keeping its promise to return Assassin’s Creed Mirage to its ancient style, Ubisoft still inappropriately added some RPG elements to the game. After that, the sales of Assassin’s Creed Mirage made everyone who looked at it feel bored.
Along with Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Forza Motorsport – the world’s most famous racing blockbuster just released on October 10 is also leaving countless question marks.
