Assassin's Creed Nexus VR Review

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR reviewed on Meta Quest 3 by Travis Northup. Also available on Meta Quest 2/Pro.

Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR isn’t just another fragmented tech demo, but a fully realized Assassin’s Creed game that benefits greatly from its new medium and breathes life into the familiar Ubisoft formula. Running across rooftops in Renaissance-era Italy and sneaking through the streets of ancient Athens is a blast, and the fact that none of that made me want to hurl is a testament to just how much Nexus takes advantage of the Meta Quest 3’s shiny new hardware. It’s unfortunate that combat seems like an afterthought compared to the rest of Nexus’s polished systems, and occasional technical issues and immersion-breaking bugs definitely pulled me out of the experience from time to time. Even so, Nexus has reignited my interest in virtual reality, as only dancing through the streets of Venice as Ezio could do – and it feels good to be back.

Remember - making a game on a standalone VR device is the same challenge as another developer making a big game on Switch instead of PC. And for that, Ubisoft have done quite well.

Ive been playing it for a few hours. I'd give it an 8 out of 10 personally

"Nothing is true, everything is VR". Well played, IGN. Well played.

It's a fantastic game, an easy 9/10 for me.

Give a 7 to a game like this with all the accessibility features and freedom it gives to player and a 8 to the Playstation tablet. Ign you're a joke. Best VR Game for the next Game Awards already?

“You can’t glance at your phone “
Quest 3 pass through LMFAO dude clearly ain’t a vr guy

[BlazeNeedARaise]

As a hardcore VR I just wanted to say this game is one of my favorites, even though I’ve never played a Assassins Creed game before

[sdbszz]

Bro, yall realize we’re literally playing inside the animus with the headset. Pretty mindblowing

[zenthous]

IGN please employ someone who actually seems to care about VR

[Alex_Logan]

Gonna flip onto my mattress during a leap of faith.

[bovineox]

15 hours seems pretty decent, especially if that’s average and there’s more for completionists

[ConnorEllisMusic]

You can very easily glance at your phone. Tap the right side of the headset to go into passthrough.

I was so thankful for the smooth gameplay on AC Nexus. I was excited to play the Batman Arkham game that came with my Meta 3 headset, but could not take more than 15 minutes even seated due to motion sickness.

Score of 7 + 4 points for every well made VR experience (IMO) = 11

7:24 Someone should tell IGN that this is the quest 2 build he is playing on the quest 3. The Quest 3 Enhanced version will be released in 2024, so NO they are not already using the full "limits" of the quest 3.

[DistractiveAim]

why praise the game the full vid and give it a 7

[heroicdefender]

0/10 review for the unnecessary slander at Connor

[iwantalot]

Great review Hopefully see a psvr2 version down the line with eye tracking and foviated rendering

As a modern English gentleman, your “crumpet eating, snaggle tooth” burn cut deep. I’m simultaneously entertained and offended.
