[Software]Assassin's Creed Nexus VR: has Ubisoft gone too far?

[Dean Ambrose™]

We will all agree that Assassin's Creed is one of the most relevant sagas in the world of video games in the last 15 years, and that in 2023 it has brightened our lives thanks to a double session that includes the classic experience with Mirage, and therefore another is VR with a Nexus that, surely, is the one that can surprise you the most of all. Do you know if it is worth trying it by using virtual reality?

When Ubisoft announced its entire release strategy for Assassin's Creed, it was clear that it was going to try to hit all possible sticks. And that included, not only the typical games for PC and consoles that always arrive in the last part of the year, but also experimenting with other platforms where the saga also has a place. And the space reserved for virtual reality is one of those that was crying out for the animus to be carried.

Assassin's Creed Nexus in VR
The fact is that we already have it here. Assassin's Creed Nexus went on sale yesterday, November 16, for Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest 2 and Meta Quest Pro, for a price of only 39.99 euros and with the intention that we experience what it means to be an assassin thanks to a perspective in first person that emulates the experiences of Ezio, Connor and Kasandra. And it must be said, as a summary, that what we could expect from him he is going to give us without major problems.

Assassin's Creed Nexus is an Assassin's Creed simulator, that is, we will be able to do almost the same thing as in the canonical games of the saga that has been coming out since 2008 but from a shooter perspective that suits it very well to achieve that degree of immersion. that cries out. What's more, we will finally be able to see many of the actions we carry out in the franchise's titles from a radically different point of view.

 

Fighting against enemies, running out to hide, climbing, infiltrating by clinging to ledges or trying not to be seen by resorting to stealth will be something we need to do to complete the objectives and realize that, although what drives the game is the same as always , the way of doing it changes completely.

And the bad?
If that Assassin's Creed experience is really good and absorbing, it is not so good in other aspects such as duration, the obvious lack of feeling of being in an open world and that we will always be directed in a more truncated development than usual. usual. Of course, it will be something that shocks us but it must also be said that Nexus is focused on transmitting that experience to us and nothing more. It does not intend to go one step further.

If you have any of the Meta Quest models compatible with Assassin's Creed Nexus and you are an unconditional fan of the saga, you should certainly try what it has to tell you, although yes, be very careful with dizziness if you are prone to a few minutes. Minutes into starting a VR experience your body begins to ask for a break. Although limited in movement, there is a lot of movement on the screen... and it doesn't sit well with you.
