1) Church
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed III
​
This week’s first capture comes from @annatheginguh over on Twitter.
​
A bit of a different shot to open this week. I am always looking for VP outside of the RPG games. Here we see a beautiful photo of a Church in AC3.
It blows me away how great this looks, especially for a game that originally released in 2012. I am a big fan of the positioning of this capture, as it really showcases the environment.
2) Spartan
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
​
Photo number two comes from @BookieVp over on Twitter.
​
What a stunning capture. This Spartan looks ready for battle, and I am getting massive 300 vibes here. I chose this shot due to the detail on the helmet. I love the horse hair on the top with the wolf just below.
Easily one of the best helmets in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The lighting, and particularly the saturation really makes this photo standout.
4) Seaside
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
​
VP number four comes from @Rimaeternax over on Twitter.
​
I am not sure what it is about this capture but I really like it. The depth of field is perfect, allowing you to see the background, but without taking anything away from Kassandra.
The timing of the shot is brilliant too with all three characters looking in the same direction. The shadow of Ikaros is very impressive, and at first I thought it was a different bird. It kind of feels like this is a classic hero moment.

3) Anubis
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Origins
​
This week’s third shot comes from @flyingfeather_g over on Twitter.
​
This is such a cool photo of Anubis. If I remember correctly, this was one of his shadow guards in The Curse of the Pharaohs DLC.
It is great to see some VP for NPC’s, especially when they look like this. I also like that the focus is solely on the character, making the gold really pop.
5) Axe to Grind
​
Game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
​
The final capture of the week comes from @Lycantocles from the ACFirstCiv VP Twitter Community.
​
My final pick of the week is very Viking, and that’s why I like it. I assume from the pose that Eivor has just finished a move on some helpless Saxon. The duel wielding in Valhalla does lend itself to some awesome shots. Eivor reminds me of Ragnar here, and the level of detail on that axe is amazing.
