Assassin's Creed Nexus VR Critic Reviews

A showcase of what’s possible in VR, Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR delivers a completely unique foray into the world of Templars and Assassins, but in a first person perspective, and frankly, there’s nothing quite like it. While the Quest 3 isn’t up to the task, making for some wobbly frame rates, the game is thankfully a nausea-free experience you’ll want to experience.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR isn't just a triumphant first entry into the VR space, it's a brilliant return to the series' roots in a substantial way. The amount of variety in the game is staggering, and you'll be regularly surprised by not only what you can do, but how much content Ubisoft was able to include in such a well-produced and made title.

Assassin's Creed Nexus brings Ubisoft's amazing level of polish and fun to the VR space, with spectacular results. While the combat is a bit clunky, everything else - from the effortless parkour to the highly entertaining stealth - works like a charm. I was amazed and delighted by the fact that this is a full game, and not just a small collection of levels crammed into a "VR experience". Wildly fun, this game goes a long way toward re-establishing my faith in VR as a viable video game medium. This is a landmark title.

Not just a full AAA game in VR... but an impressively implemented one at that.

If there was ever a AAA gaming franchise begging for a VR installment, it was Assassin’s Creed. What’s really special about Nexus VR is that it isn’t just a tech demo with an Assassin’s Creed flavoring—it’s a full fledged Assassin’s Creed game in VR. One that makes excellent use of the franchise’s unique sci-fi elements and properly translates the best gameplay elements.

I'm surprised that it has taken so long for an Assassin's Creed game to finally be released on a VR platform. After all, the original game takes place in a virtual world based on the memories of the descendant of Desmond Miles. And Assassin's Creed Nexus does an amazing job of placing gamers in the shoes of several notable characters and locations from within the Assassin’s Creed series. Although the story is not as detailed as that of previous Assassin's Creed titles, it still does a more than adequate job of keeping the player entertained over the course of the journey. But the developers have made full use of the VR controls to ensure that players feel immersed and like they are part of the action. Hopefully, Assassin's Creed Nexus be the first of many in a series of VR games from Ubisoft.

Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is probably the best action game available for the Meta Quest 3 system and I’d go so far as to call it a hardware-seller. It’s certainly an impressive proof-of-concept for the standalone headset. As an Assassin’s Creed game, it nails the series’ classic stealth and parkour moves, all the more impressive in virtual reality. It isn’t an open world game, but all the better for it. I’d say it’s a must-buy for new Quest 3 owners.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR is a great way to experience the series' most iconic gameplay pillars from a whole new perspective. It's not without some of the awkwardness inherent to VR, but it's a visual showpiece for the Meta Quest 3 that deftly places players into the shoes of three iconic assassins while feeling incredibly authentic.

Nexus is a very good game for VR, showing the rich possibilities and activities that can be used in this sphere. With varied gameplay, nice graphics and a good and sufficiently developed story for several hours - even more than ten upon closer examination.

Assassin’s Creed Nexus is a success in bringing the movement and combat stylings of the ever-popular series into the VR space. While it is playable on a Quest 2 it’s downright gorgeous inside the 3. It’s the first time in a while I’ve played a VR title that felt close to a Triple-A release. There may be a hell of a lot of AC games, but after this solid entry, I hope there’s more to come in VR.

Assassin's Creed's successful first foray into virtual reality, which does a lot right in terms of gameplay, but stumbles technically.

Assassin's Creed and VR go surprisingly well together, even if the game's main story is rarely captivating.

Despite our initial doubts and a somewhat clumsy start, AC Nexus manages to gradually win over the player with a very careful setting and an adventurous aspect that works very well in virtual reality.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR is a successful experiment. Three already well-known protagonists and as many different eras to experience in virtual reality, from Renaissance Italy to ancient Greece, passing through a Boston in revolt. The unpublished narrative fragments and the strong sense of immersion allow us to turn a blind eye to some playful uncertainties, and give us the opportunity to experience a chapter of Assassin's Creed like never before.

Successful VR version of Assassin's Creed, which works well except for the open battles and offers immersive sneaking and parkour fun.

If ever there was a compelling reason to invest in the new generation of VR hardware, Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is it.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR feels like the best showcase for what the new Meta Quest 3 headset can do. It's packed full of comfort features to let you tailor the experience so that however you play, you'll feel like one of the Brotherhood. Whether you're a fan of the series or not, this is a great example of what consumer VR tech can do.

Assassin’s Creed Nexus is an outstanding VR game that shows AAA developers how to bring their properties into a new platform the right way. Some minor buggy moments aside, Nexus is deserving of praise for the way it has stayed faithful and only added to the long-lasting legacy of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR makes players' wildest dreams real. It is a very traditional VR adventure but what gives it depth is just being an Assassin's Creed. The Meta Quest 2 version is pushed to the limit, perhaps too far.

Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is an outstanding interpretation of the series’ iconic action into virtual reality, bringing the franchise to life like never before.
