The story places you in the role of a hacker and it kicks off with a wonderfully unexpected spot of mixed-reality gaming which overlays the UI of the Animus on top of your actual real-life living space. Until perhaps Asguard's Wrath 2 releases in a few weeks time. While it's still no Half-Life Alyx, visually this feels like the current gold standard of native, wire-free gaming. Everything from great lighting effects and highly detailed textures to the large amount of NPCs roaming around brought life and believabilty to the world.

I've always judged the visuals in native Quest games rather harshly, but there's a quality here that I've never experienced before and it took my breath away. Near the start of this week's VR Corner I say something about the fact that I've played PC VR games that look worse than Nexus VR running natively on Quest 3, and I wasn't joking. It still has all of my crap jokes in it though.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR running natively on the Quest 3 however feels like a true generational leap (of faith) and, as you'll see in this week's episode of VR Corner, the quality of some of the visuals left me absolutely amazed! Plus they always felt like smaller, bite-sized offerings compared to what was on available on other, wired VR platforms. While games running natively on the Quest 2 were fine in theory, visually they always looked soft and basic compared to the games that I could play on it when linked to a PC. But, after playing Assassin's Creed Nexus VR on the Meta Quest 3, I think I may have finally found have a new contender for the coveted top spot on my list. I still love it, sure, mainly because it does a lot of cool things that other headsets simply cannot. People often ask me which VR headset is my favourite to use and, up until very recently, I probably would have said the PSVR2. Please bear in mind that the following first impressions of Assassin's Creed Nexus VR are based on my experiences with the early 'Ezio' chapters of the game and as such are not a review of the full game.
