What are People Saying About Assassins Creed: Mirage ___ Drew Bedrin 10/13/23 T he Assassins Creed franchise includes many games, most of which are considered to be fan favorites and so called unique among their competitors. I personally am a fan of the franchise having played the games since I was twelve; but recently they have been receiving quite a lot of backlash.  T he appeal of Assassins Creed is its quick paced parkour and stealth based traversal.
