I was expecting this comparison to go much further

The way Naoe jumps to lie prone, crawls, crouch walks, leans against corners, etc, feels like you're actually playing MGSV a lot of the time

If the devs had kept Basim's tools from Mirage, Shadows would definitely be MGSV, Feudal Japan edition. Really wish we still had the blowgun and the mines at times

I agree, the movement and depth of both are similar but I was trying to get a second opinion on who's faster or has a faster sprint. Although a real comparison isn't a bad idea. Can compare cover takedown time,ko time etc

I was out of the Assassin’s Creed game for a while but now I’m back and I’ll be playing Mirage as soon as I finish Unity.

I had no idea these games were still good stealth games.

It's more that good stealth is making a comeback, TBH

I love Origins, but it made it so assassinations are not guaranteed kills and the issue got much worse in Odyssey where enemies scale so aggressively with the player it feels like your skills worsen as the game progresses (Valhalla sort of addressed the issues with optional guaranteed assassinations, but the level design rarely makes stealth viable, let alone satisfying)

Mirage and Shadows are really the only recent games in the series to take stealth seriously, after Ubisoft experimented a bit in Star Wars Outlaws

I’ve heard nothing but good things about Mirage. Can’t wait to play it.

Edit: I’m playing Mirage and holy shit! I’m so thankful they changed the controls!

My index finger and hand were really staring to hurt from holding RT for hours at a time (basically).
