The gaming world holds its breath as the review embargo for Assassin's Creed Mirage lifts on March 18th (1:00 AM Beijing Time / March 17th 1:00 PM EDT).  This highly anticipated title carries the weight of much speculation and arguably the future direction of Ubisoft. What will the critics say?

Despite the pre-release jitters, optimism seems to be the prevailing sentiment.  A poll conducted on ResetERA, a popular gaming forum, reveals a significant portion of players predict a favorable reception for Mirage.

Of the 685 votes cast, a combined 84.7% of participants anticipate a score of 8 or higher.  More specifically, 50% believe it will fall within the 8.0 to 8.4 range, while a further 34.7% project a score between 8.5 and 8.9.  Only a small minority (4 votes) foresee a score below 7.

Now, we turn the question to you. Before experiencing the game firsthand, based solely on the pre-release trailers and gameplay footage, what score would you give Assassin's Creed Mirage?
