If you already have a Meta Quest VR headset, Assassin’s Creed Nexus may be worth picking up.

Assassin’s Creed Nexusreally surprised me.

Was it a glorified tech demo?

Unlike Ezio and Kassandra’s sections, which are sequels to their respective games, Connor’s section takes place during the events of Assassin’s Creed III.

A cinematic movie-like experience with interactive elements?

In Nexus, you play as a spy working with modern-day Assassins Shaun and Rebecca to infiltrate Abstergo Industries.

You need a javascript enabled web app to watch videos.

All three protagonists feature similar control schemes but there are differences between them.

Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?

If not, it’s an opportunity to make new ones.

Combat, especially, is harder since you have to actually face a target to block or parry them.

Then I accidentally walked face-first into a random woman and she sneered at me.

The two objectives I played before my demo concluded were distinct as well.

Like I said at the top, Assassin’s Creed Nexus feels like playing Assassin’s Creed.
