PS Plus Wishlist for December 2024: Assassin’s Creed Mirage

Assassin’s Creed Mirageis far from thebestAssassin’s Creedgameout there, but it is highly reminiscent of the best installments in the series, as its aim from the beginning of its development was to bring fans of the franchise back to the series' roots with a greater focus on stealth, simplified mechanics, a smaller open world, and a stronger emphasis on its narrative. Ironically, it was initially criticized for lacking innovation, despite its goals to essentially go back in time to when the series was much different than it is now. However, it still feeds the nostalgia of longtimeAssassin’s Creedfans and is worth a play, making it a great candidate for December 2024’s PS Plus lineup.

Moreover, the game is captivating to look at and hear on the PS5, though it still provides a decent experience on the PS4 as well. As one of Capcom’s bestResident Eviltitles, addingVillageto the lineup in December 2024 would undoubtedly add to the value of next month’s selection.
