During a time when depictions that honor the history and majesty of the Middle East are more important than ever, this window into that ancient world provides enlightenment to some players and critical representation to others.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is a return to the series' roots in a sense, bringing players to 9th Century Baghdad. But how does it stack up so far compared to the recent series entries?

Assassin's Creed Mirage's focus on social stealth and detective work makes for a compelling dive into ninth-century Baghdad.
