Assassin’s Creed Mirage is criticized for its slightly “outdated” technical side. While the Ubisoft Bordeaux game is less beautiful than the Valhalla and Odyssey episode. A way could improve this problem
While it was only supposed to be a DLC for Valhalla, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is an episode in its own right which has won back former players of the Ubisoft franchise. This feat comes in particular from a desire to return to the sources and produce a shorter part than its recent predecessors. However, if the gameplay is generally successful for Mirage, one shadow remains on the picture, the technique. Although Assassin’s Creed Mirage is not ugly, it is considered by many to be below the opuses Odyssey or Valhalla for example.
The option that changes Assassin’s Creed Mirage
We can safely say that we are not looking at the most beautiful Assassin’s Creed. However, it seems that a large part of this technical weakness comes from a graphics option, chromatic aberration. While we recently learned that the ability to disable this setting will be implemented soon, some players have gone ahead and done some experimenting. It is in particular the German YouTuber “Digital Dreams” who shares his little find. He managed to remove chromatic aberration before his time and even went so far as to present the game in 8K 60fps by adding the Ray Tracing setting “Beyond All Limits”, a ReShade mod.
Over 12 minutes long, the video shows a pretty impressive face of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Chromatic aberration is an option that bothers many players and which should soon be possible to deactivate in view of the latest information offered by Ubisoft. Although the addition of this parameter is greatly appreciated and will provide a better experience for many players, it will not make up for the few technical shortcomings noted by players. The atmosphere of Baghdad remains no less appreciable and it must be said that AC Mirage with all these parameters and in 8K has its charm.
Although a little below technically, Assassin’s Creed Mirage nonetheless remains a commercial success according to Ubisoft. The game notably holds the record for units sold for new generation consoles and to a number of players close to the Odyssey and Origins episodes. A real success for the very first game from Ubisoft Bordeaux.
