Baghdad world design appreciation post

Im on my 2nd play through of Mirage - and while the actual parkour system isn’t great (its decent enough - especially after the changes they made at launch), the world design and city layout more than makes up for it.

Baghdad feels like classic assassins creed as far as the overall layout and vibe goes. There are tons of paths for free running and you could go very long stretches without even touching the ground. The narrow streets, points of elevation, constant turns and so on and verticality all make both parkour and escaping a ton of fun - something I feel AC had lacked for a while

Baghdad also feels lived in and vast, it feels like a fully functioning city rather than a city section of a map as it is the focal point.
