Yeah I find Mirage to basically be a love letter to AC1 (or at least giving something to old school AC players who don't like the RPG action game it's become), to a level I wasn't expecting. Granted I'm in the early-going, but combat is extremely dialed back to more resemble AC1, and they shoehorned in what feels like a deliberate 00s version of Eagle Vision.

I actually find the changes rather jarring after playing the previous 3 ACs, I didn't expect them to hit the nostalgia button that hard. I can see newer fans of the franchise not being on board with this one, but I bet the OG fans like it. I'm getting used to it now, but its been an adjustment.
