For Assassin’s Creed fans drawn to VR for the first time, it does an exceptional job of placing you in the role of an assassin, with all the stealth and parkour mechanics you expect from the core games translated almost flawlessly to a first-person experience. If you’re a longtime VR player, it brilliantly combines the best elements of immersive gameplay into a cohesive whole, allowing you to move, climb, hide, and fight your way around stunningly realized locations. Playing Assassin’s Creed Nexus on the Meta Quest 3 has that rare distinction of shattering expectations and feeling better than it should. It’s a prosecution Ubisoft makes alarmingly well.
