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.

There is so much going on in here - the lost pack is found, a male omega is abused and impregnated due to the 'new' knowledge being used against him, new True Elders, new mates, new rules. So hold onto your hats, as it's a lot to take in.
As always, this was a gripping read. If I had any complaint, it would be that sometimes it is hard to remember just who is with whom, as there have been so many couplings and throuplings, it gets a little confusing.
I am always happy to return to Gladstone and the amazing, intricate stories that unfold there. Definitely recommended by me.

It Starts with Us (It Ends with Us 2)
By Colleen Hoover
⭐️⭐️
Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil co-parenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date.
But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life.
Ok so I read this to see how the second half was going to go I’m not a huge fan of these characters at all and I absolutely hate Ryle I wasn’t overly impressed with this one it wasn’t terrible but it just wasn’t great either especially when people have it on a pedestal.

I did get confused with a few things that were happening I did eventually get enough that most of my questions got answers (and I figure those that didn't will be explained when I read the book).
The actors were great. And I found myself getting lost in the story on multiple occasions. On the times I thought the movie was dragging I'm not positive that it was completely the movie's fault as much as it being a combination of lack of knowledge on my part and the movie theater starting the movie late and playing a large amount of trailers beforehand, and usually when I thought this it was after a time i was confused.
I can't wait to see part two.
