Great system: many like game annoyances (inv management) are removed, and well handled. Picks some of the best methods from other genre games. Compelling story (so far) and great voicework and production value.

AC: Mirage is like the Disney Television Animation sequel version of an Assassin's Creed game. Same basic characters, same idea, lacking all depth and quality. You may or may not get enough entertainment in it, if you're one to enjoy and play all of the games, but it definitely won't hit your top 10 or top 1000 games you've played.

I've played this for about six months, though recently moved to Steam.

First of all, the game is definitely not P2W. There are some cool items that you can get by paying, but mostly, they just look cool, or are unique, but in no way "win" the game for you. There's about 30 hours of great storyline in the PvE, but then the end-game gets quite "grindish", with only small gains in items or skills to get out of it. PvP is limited to an arena game, similar to most arena PvP games, but definitely takes some in-game focus to get good, especially at cap where the the early level 60 players are up against those with months of gear advantage.

One favorite of mine is that the "for purchase" currency (zen) is available to trade on an in-game market for the "earned" currency (astral diamonds), which helps make even pay items available to non-paying characters without using sketchy outside markets.
