    This is not a terrible game. In fact, I think some of the gameplay elements and quality of life functions are better than in Breath of the Wild. The combat feels really good. I enjoyed the puzzles, though thought they went way overboard on some of them as they were just too long and repetitive.

I enjoyed the puzzles, though thought they went way overboard on some of them as they were just too long and repetitive. I thought the graphics were good and had no bugs or glitches during my playthrough. The music was fine and the UI and HUD were well laid out. I do think the game needed villages of some sort as the landscape starts to feel empty and soulless without people to interact with like in BotW. Where this game truly fails is the dialogue and cutscenes.

    In the cutscenes, most of the voice acting is pretty bland and sounds like a bunch of amateurs trying to use Greek accents. What’s really strange are the constant pauses in the cutscenes. Basically, the characters will pause and stand around at times between or at the end of their dialog, not saying or doing anything. It is really strange and I can't think of any other game I have seen this bug in. It is like the Editors didn't know how to edit the cutscenes properly. It has a very “Uncanny Valley” feeling. What makes the whole thing even more unfortunate is the writing for the cutscenes and narration.

    This has to be some of the worst writing I have seen in a game. It is cringe-inducing and annoying. They continually make really bad jokes throughout the entire game and the narration is like listening to two entitled old men complain. If they are not complaining or making bad jokes, they are talking about drinking and doing drugs; it completely breaks the immersion of the game. They will inexplicably have characters come back to life or show up out of nowhere and hand-wave some excuse on how their there.

    The dialog between Fenyx and the gods is really bad. They will make the gods out to be jerks but have Fenyx justify their actions, it doesn't make any sense and is especially confusing with their conversations with Aries.

    But the worse part of the story has to be near the end. They try to pull an eye-rolling twist right out of a bad Shyamalan film on you. I'll try not to spoil anything but you are pretty much told that rather than the Link or Kratos type character you think you have been playing, you are actually a Mary-Sue right out of Disney Star Wars. It was so lame as they try to negate all the hard work you put into solving puzzles and fighting bosses. From start to finish the writing is just atrocious and ruins the rest of the game.

    I think there are good parts of the game - I even liked the Ancient Greece setting and thought they could do similar games using Norse and Native American Mythology. Just get it as far away from these writers and editors as possible.    … Expand

    You have to grind so much to even upgrade a single weapon. And they want us to buy items with money. WTF?

    An absolute surprise title for me. Got it through the Xbox Game Pass.

    I tried to wrap my head around Breath of the Wild but never really got a feeling for it. Even with the Switch pro controller the controls were too finicky for me and I found no real access to the game. With Fenyx this is the complete opposite.

    With Fenyx this is the complete opposite. The gameplay and controls are the best that I've played for Years, maybe ever (and I got my first PC when I was 6 y/o so 30 years ago). Super snappy, reminds me of the Batman Arkham Series.
    Another big plus are the lovely made animations. Everything is buttery smooth, the colors are brilliant and the whole atmosphere of the game is sound.

    There are also some downsides - the "story" is okay at best and the narration of Prometheus and Zeus that always add something from the off becomes more and more annoying - especially considering that the voice actor of Zeus has a decent voice but has got to work on what words to stress and which not. But this game is something you play for the fights, the gameplay and the keen interest in exploring the island.

    Ubisoft Québec did a very fine job here and everyone who has the Game Pass should give this hidden gem a try :-)
    All in all a 8.5.

    From my perspective this a pretty good game and score does not reflect what I felt when I played.
    After playing The legend of Zelda BOTW this game show me what Nintendo can improve in TOTK.
    Puzzles are really funny, some of them are challenges that need brain more than equipment, I pretty recommend If you want to play something similar than BOW

    An open-world action-adventure game, you could be forgiven for thinking that this is a knock-off of Breath of the Wild by Ubisoft. However, after playing it for a while, it becomes obvious that the game is simultaneously a big step forward AND a big step back from Breath of the Wild.

However, after playing it for a while, it becomes obvious that the game is simultaneously a big step forward AND a big step back from Breath of the Wild.

    With a world chock full of puzzles, puzzle and dungeon design that becomes more sophisticated and challenging as the game goes on, and increasingly more difficult and dangerous enemies, the game manages to establish that it learned from Breath of the Wild’s often empty overworld, instead putting in large amounts of stuff to do that evolve as you get further and further into the game, giving you a greater variety of challenges to overcome and allowing you to upgrade your existing abilities to overcome new challenges.

    Gone is the weapon durability system; instead, you have a sword, an axe, and a bow, which you can swap between different versions of for different bonuses, and upgrade over the course of the game with materials you find. While this takes away the ability to grab a powerful weapon off a powerful enemy and temporarily be overpowered, it leads to an overall better game experience. This, combined with your combat-ready abilities, makes combat in Fenyx much better and less awkward than Breath of the Wild; you are faster and more fluid, but so are your enemies, and it ends up being a step forward mechanically from Breath of the Wild’s clunky mechanics.

    Instead of the clunky weapon durability system of Breath of the Wild, you instead upgrade your weapons and abilities directly, making all the random things you’re doing actually matter.

    Indeed, mechanically, Fenyx is a step forward in almost every way.

    Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the world.

    Breath of the Wild was good at evoking a sense of wonder, and of giving you neat places to go. Fenyx’s world is nowhere near as interesting. And this is a huge problem; the single best thing about Breath of the Wild was its sense of discovery, but Fenyx is lacking in it. It gives you the ability to focus your vision, but instead of the organic highlighting of Zelda, or even giving you the ability to reveal things by looking at them, you can look right through walls and find things. Instead of the excellent landmarks of Zelda, many of the locations feel very unnatural and like they are there because it is a game, and don’t stick out nearly as well as landmarks.

    And this is a big problem, because it was one of Breath of the Wild’s biggest selling points, and the game just fumbles it.

    The game has a stronger narrative focus that it fumbles as well: with Prometheus and Zeus chatting to each other the whole game as a voice over semi-narration as you explore the world and restore four gods to their rightful forms, reacting to what you are doing and where you are going in-world, with the game working with the history of the Greek gods to add flavor to the world. Unfortunately, there’s three big problems:

    1) The gods are a bunch of narcissistic jerks – which, while authentic to Greek mythology, gets kind of repetitive when everyone in the game is either the straight man (Fenyx, Prometheus) or a narcissistic jerk that they have to put up with (everyone else).
    2) The game is trying to be funny, but because it only has a relatively limited repertoire of tones, it struggles with it.
    3) Because we already know the Greek gods, we know what is going on, robbing the plot of a sense of discovery, tying back into the sense of discovery that feels missing from this game.

    All in all, then, it’s a good-ish game that falls well shy of greatness. While Breath of the Wild felt kind of bad about being a bunch of checkmarks to mark off, this game takes that to a whole new level, and while it’s checkboxes are far better, the actual sense of grandeur and exploration is worse, and the fact that the gods you are helping are all horrible people makes you question whether it is even the right thing to be helping them in the first place.

    All in all, while I liked playing this more than I liked Breath of the Wild, it lacked the latter game’s charm and core pull. If the poor mechanics of Breath of the Wild were the biggest offputting thing about it for you, then this is a very reasonable alternative; however, there are far better open-world games out there.    … Expand

    Remember how in breath of the wild you can have freedom and can come up with wild wacky out-of-the-box solutions? Well, Ubosoft went fluck that. You need to stick to their one pre-determined solution. Whatever momentum you built up is killed by a puzzle every 3 seconds.

    This game is open world, but it gives you zero freedom. Puzzle fans and candy crush fans might enjoy this, rest stay away!    … Expand

    - Todos los que hayáis probado un Zelda Breath of the Wild o más recientemente el multiplataforma gratuito Genshin Impact encontraréis en este immortals fenix rising una jugabilidad ya conocida. Manejamos a un personaje el cual podemos editar no sólo antes de empezar partida sino también durante. Una vez dentro del mundo que nos han preparado los chicos de Ubiusoft Quebec, nos encontramos con una escena que resulta familiar, un basto mundo listo para ser explorado plagad de puzzles, cofres y otros puntos de interés, donde para alcanzar determinados puntos del mapa o superar desafíos tendremos que hacer uso de las múltiples posibilidades que ofrece el juego como volar, saltar, o hacer levitar grandes rocas u objetos que deberán ser colocados cuidadosamente en puntos clave para abrirnos camino. Si lo que te interesa es saber como avanzar en la historia e ir desbloqueando el mapa sin duda deberas subir las características a tu personaje y en Immortals Fenix Rising tienes varias opciones. Subir la vida utilizando un elemento que encontraras por el mundo denominado ambrosía, subir la resistencia resolviendo mazmorras y obteniendo rayo de Zéus y por supuesto podrás mejorar tus habilidades obteniendo moneda del juego que podrás conseguir completando misiones de encargo.
    Gráficos
    - El juego sale de la norma de gráficos hiperrealistas a la que ubisoft nos tiene tan acostumbrados para atreverse con algo nuevo, un estilo cartoon de temática grecoromana que le sienta fabulosamente al juego y aunque antes hemos dicho que no es gráficamente hiperrealista las físicas que utiliza si lo son y podrás ver como diferentes elementos del juego responden a elemntos tan realistas como la gravedad
    Música
    - En el apartado sonoro nos encontramos ante uno de esos títulos épicos con banda sonora propia. Ademas el doblaje al español saca a relucir los grandes profesionales del sector que tenemos en nuestro país. Todo esta dispuesto para que desde el minuto uno te sientas dentro de tu personaje, un valiente héroe dispuesto a descubrir todos los secretos que a lo largo y ancho del mapa.
    Historia
    - A nivel narrativo nos encontramos con una historia que tiene sus luces y sombras, aunque a mi parecer es uno de los puntos menos fuertes del juego no deja de ser algo totalmente objetivo y que por otra parte sin ella el juego quedaría cojo de propósito, quizás peca de repetitivismo poético cayendo en el chiste fácil recurrentemente. Puede que al final sea cuestión de acostumbrarse al estilo narrativo que han querido dar a este Immortals Fenyx Rising y quien sabe quizás en un futuro quieran dotarlo de un modo multijugador para que tu y tus amigos podáis crear vuestra propia historia, pero por el momento la acción será para un solo jugador.    … Expand

    That being said, the boss fights are fun, the game mechanics are fun, and if you do not focus on the endless collections and side quests and play it as a linear story focusing on the main story quests, you will end up enjoying it more.

    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.
