Yeah, I have to laugh at that myself. I told so many people who were begging for AC to go back to the classic formula that it was a bad idea. There is a reason why Ubisoft evolved the series into WRPG's to start with, it's because people had grown tired with AC games as they were in the past, which is precisely why AC Syndicate has the 3rd lowest reviews in the mainline series and was a sales flop (selling about half the copies of earlier AC games), even though it is one of the best games in the series. Ubisoft evolved Assassin's Creed at precisely the right time to save it from total decline. Now they let whining classic AC fans influence them into giving them a brand new game in the series in the old formula (instead of sticking to remakes to satisfy the classic AC fans instead), and what did it get Ubisoft? A 76 review average on AC Mirage, which makes it pretty much tied with the aforementioned AC Syndicate for 3rd lowest reviewed mainline game in the series.
Ubisoft will definitely be sticking with the RPG formula after seeing these reviews, because all 3 RPG AC games reviewed better than Syndicate and Mirage, the 2 most recent classic formula AC games. We already know that the next 2 AC games, Red in Feudal Japan and Hexe in the Holy Roman Empire circa 1500-1600's, are back to the RPG formula. Maybe we will get the rumored remakes of AC1 and AC4, but I think it is safe to say they will stick with RPG's for brand new AC games moving forward.
