    Fun but simple gameplay, tho it has nothing really that original other than the great storytelling. It is a great fundation for a new franchise.

    It looks gorgeous and the type of game we have been waiting for on PC, like prince of Persia and Zelda had a baby

    I will say it if no one has yet or wanted to admitted to them selves (though i have not read all the reviews here) Immortals Fenix Rising in a whole ball of wax is better then Zelda BOTW. I am 44 played all Zelda's and beat them all (excluding some gameboy ones) Till now Zelda Ocarina was my all time adventure, puzzles, dungeon, equipment and boss battling game of all time. But as I saidI will say it if no one has yet or wanted to admitted to them selves (though i have not read all the reviews here) Immortals Fenix Rising in a whole ball of wax is better then Zelda BOTW. I am 44 played all Zelda's and beat them all (excluding some gameboy ones) Till now Zelda Ocarina was my all time adventure, puzzles, dungeon, equipment and boss battling game of all time. But as I said in the whole ball of wax IFR beats out BOTW please hear me out. Combat IFR is heads above in this expect, fast, fun, explosive combat with dodging and god powers. Ability tree that you unlock to open up more moves and solve more puzzles. The world this is another big one in my opinion that beats out BOTW, yes Hyrule was breathtaking but i am sure like myself you went out exploring the far reaches of the world. Secretes yes, a few here and there but empty lost opportunity huge vast areas never used for more then bulking the map. Yes again I felt that way about 30% of the time playing through BOTW. IFR is jam packed with secrets quest, chest, hidden boss battles and tons of POI. One review i read before i played mention he would have gave it a 9 instead of a 8 because once on the lookout points you scan the map to unlock exact legends icons. I was upset about this i thought there has to be a way to avoid this and explore on my own. Well butthead review guy, you made me believe, though you review and statements once you use lookout it shows all. How about you don't use Sight Beyond Sight like myself that way you see nothing and explore your heart out. Now BOTW does beat out the story of IFR there is no disagreement there. But the puzzles in IFR heck may double those of BOTW and the huge MAIN dungeons took me a good while to complete not 10-15 minutes. Yes the Castle was epic no doubt but 1 out 5 not so good. Look I know I sound like A BONEHEAD IDIOT knocking BOTW my intent is to stress how awesome IFR is as it's own game not just a fly by night Zelda rip off. You can all hate my review and what i sated . I would understand again i am a diehard original from nes, wii to the Switch Zelda fanboy! If this game is on your radar because you enjoy action puzzle boss battles dungeons then do not miss out. I apologize for my sacrilegious comments towards BOTW… Expand

    The game is better than BOTW in so many ways from dialogue to story, The weapons don't break. The music is more better than BOTW's music which is noninexistant. Fenyx rising is one of Ubisoft's finest games. The puzzles in this game outshines the ones in botw.

    I honestly believe giving anything below 85 is unjustified for this game. Despite being heavily dismissed as another clone of BOTW, this game feels and plays unique enough to make it stand out from similar games. Abundance of content without feeling too bloated.

    A lot of critics are looking down on this game because it copies a lot of its core ideas from Breath of the Wild. But you know what? This game does all of those things better.

This game does all of those things better.

    It's so much fun to move in this game. You have so much stamina and so many ways to use it after just a little bit of exploration and upgrades. No two players will travel across a field or gap in exactly the same way. Platforming challenges are always a joy, and there's way more variety in puzzles because there are so many ways to move Fenyx around.

    Combat is super complex, and with dozens of buffs to choose from based on your two armor pieces and three weapons, there are so many different ways to tune fights to your liking. Even with combos that feel super OP at times, encounters are rarely a cakewalk, and you're encouraged to keep exploring to find potion ingredients even all the way into the endgame.

    The game has so many systems and ways that you interact with the world, and there are rewards that help upgrade everything. As a result, exploration always feels rewarding because you're not just going to find a weapon when you've been full for the last 12 hours, and you're not just going to find 1/4 of a heart when you already have 20. You can find shards to upgrade your armor and weapons to help with combat, or you can find coins to upgrade your abilities to help with puzzles or even let you skip some of them entirely.

    The writing is funny too, and even though not every line hits, you actually care about the characters and empathize with them when they are sad or feel hurt. The story gives you good reasons to explore the entire environment and its dedication to realistic Greek Mythology (as opposed to Disney nonsense) is admirable.

    Basically, the tl;dr is if Breath of the Wild is a 10/10, this game is an 11/10. It's just that good.    … Expand

    The simplest way to describe this game is that it’s a funny version of Zelda. It does lack in originality but it makes up for that in cool characters and awesome fighting.

    I'm only about 4 hours in so far but am enjoying it much more than i did BOTW. BOTW is a fantastic game and I'd say more challenging but from a fun factor Immortals has it beat. You can jump right in and not feel completely lost. Time flies with this game in a good way.

    Old peculiar Tomb Raider Puzzle, Dark Souls, Assassin Creed Odyssey, Strange Brigade (chat),
    I am very happy. However, Puzzle is really really really difficult. I spent almost 2 hours one of dungeons

    Now the negatives... I really disliked the humour and cheesy dialogue I also lost interest in the repetitive puzzles and vaults around the open word and I was excited to see and use the upgrade system but sadly that also disappointed me and was very lackluster.

    Overall my experience was okay I didn't find any bugs in my time playing and it ran well on my computer. I'm just disappointed I guess it didn't really keep me hooked and I got bored fast.    … Expand

    I love this game! It obviously took a lot of ideas from breath of the wild. But they executed it well, and in a complety different style that has you hooked immediately. You will get sucked into the depth of this world, and it will have you adventuring as much as you crave. Would highly recommend for anyone who likes the genre.

    This is a fun, beautiful, fast paced game very similar to BOTW. Only difference, I prefer this one better. From the funny cutscenes to the epic fighting matches, this game has it all and when I say beautiful, this game graphically, while simple, looks damn good. It’s a must buy in my book.

    Decent game, similar to Odyssey as it's the same dev team.
    + Good combat
    + Beautiful visuals

    +/- it doesn't do anything exceptional, but all elements are decently good. it's a very generic, forgettable game

    - Too many cutscenes, unskippable
    - Puzzles are tiring and bothersome rather than difficult

It's not even very pretty, everything looks mashed together without any thought to aesthetic design.    Christ on a bike this is bad.

    The base of the Game is similar to Zelda Breath of the Wild. Some stupid side-jokes aside. The Combat is faster, crafting more casual and you use up less time running around open world. If you like open world RPG's like AC or Zelda you should check this out.

    Yes, this is Zelda on PC, but in Greek scenery and mythology. Ubisoft Quebec is good at combining gameplay and solid information on mythology in a humorous way that rarely happens. By the way, the humor in the game is great, I don't know why the critics decided that it was not funny.

    All in all a really fun game if you like bright colours all over the place and loads of puzzles, and a new twist on the synchronising from AC games were you have to search for locations yourself from each high area, just wish Ubisoft would scrap this fully and just let us explore and find stuff yourself that is my only gripe with the game really.

    I'm not a fan of open world games because of the "time waster" activities devs use to extend gameplay. But Ubisoft nailed this kind of game finally and i love every piece of the world.
    And we need more Greek Mythology themed games. (I'm not a greek)

    Although this game takes points from Botw, you can tell that devs have poured their love and effort into making this game. The humor is spot on. The exploration is fantastic. This game is a hidden gem which deserves more outreach.

    Immortals: Fenyx Rising takes Ubisoft in a new direction, different from that of Assassin’s Creed. The game still utilizes an open-world, the way it goes about it is very different. While it doesn’t bring anything new or innovative to the table of action-adventures, Immortals is a short and charming colorful journey into Greek mythology.

    Overall, Immortals is an enjoyable game. Its visual elegance, witty dialogue, engaging puzzles, grand exploration and the sheer amount of love for the source material demonstrated by the devs leads to a game that, though it fails to be as singularly unique or innovative as the games it takes influence from, is still a game that's about as good as the sum of its parts. The combat, exploration and world-building all lead to a great relaxing weekend game. Sit back, relax and take a break from the gritty dregs of modern AAA games. It may not be the main Thanksgiving-day course, but it's still a fantastic post-dinner turkey salad.
