TrueAchievementsMarc HollinsheadJan 20174.5/5 starsAlthough it started out as a VR title, The Assembly feels right at home on Xbox, perhaps even better suited.

TheXboxHubGareth BrierleyFeb 20174/5 starsI’ve had a great story experience with The Assembly. It’s got a wonderful central premise that it explores beautifully, with a world that is full of integrity and intrigue. The sections revolving around Dr Stone are the more successful of the two, with brilliant puzzles and superb conundrums. The game finishes way too early, just as it feels like it’s really starting to find its feet, but maybe that’s okay when you take in the price.
