Until they drifted away from the formula, turning too much (IMO) intro a standard open-world game.
So at around about the time of AC: origins, then.
I still played Origins and (forced my way through) Odyssey, but heard bad things about Valhalla.
By this time, I was also getting fed up with having to spend over a year just to complete the story, so skipped Valhalla completely.
So I felt that the back-to-basics approach of Mirage was exactly what was needed to revive my interest in the series. I've also heard that this was originally meant to be an expansion to Valhalla; truth be told I'm glad that they didn't go down that route as otherwise I would have missed this one out completely.
There's no mention - like, at all - of the Animus in this, which purports to tell the back-story of Basim, who was (apparently) a character in Valhalla. I'd no knowledge of that beforehand; thankfully it also felt like that wasn't needed.

What can I say? Gripping, frighteningly realistic and topical, dark, tense and heart-wrenching ... just a great book all round really. I must add a warning though, it does deal with violence towards women and whilst this is, as you can imagine, not pleasant, it is I feel an honest portrayal of what is going on in the world today.
Written from the perspective of all the main characters, this is a fast-paced and engrossing read with a twist that caught me by surprise.
I haven't read anything by this author before but will certainly be keeping my eyes open in the future and my thanks must go to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review and for introducing me to another new author.

The gameplay, while mostly unchanged in style from RE7, is still superb fun, and gives us a slightly more open-world to explore compared to the previous Ethan Winters adventure, as well as a more traditional gothic feel.
The various characters and bosses are all very different and for the most part original, each having their own look, combat style and personality.
My only criticism is not with the game itself, but with advertising. Most people will have noticed that Lady Dimitrescu, the pale, 9ft tall queen of RE memes features more than almost anybody in posters. The thing is, she has a surprisingly small part in the game. Advertising would have you believe she is the main antagonist of the game, where in fact she is in fact the very first main boss. That is as much as I will tell you in that regard!
Altogether, an outstanding game!
