The protagonist Basim is the most recent in a long line of leading player's in Ubisoft's franchise, and stacking him up against the others can reveal how likely it is for him to make a mark. protagonists tend to share some core traits, with a set of skills that let them parkour across rooftops and take down enemies and a link to the Assassin Brotherhood or the HIdden Ones.

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Review
Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise has come a long way in 16 years, as the video games evolved from stealth-based action adventures to the more RPG-based fare as seen in 2020’s Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
