    I wasn’t sure if I was going to buy this, but I’m glad I did. Most important- this game is FUN! It’s much more lighthearted than Ubisoft’s AC games. The graphics are great- on the PS4 Pro. The combat is fun. The bosses are challenging. The puzzles are fun- but there’s a lot of them. Hints for the game- definitely max out your health bars and potions to be able to beat the final boss.

Get the god skill to control the speed of Apollo’s arrow- it will be helpful toward the end of the game. Of course also level up your stamina. Also get a horse early on for speed of travel. The game isn’t overly long at about 23.5 hours, and the map isn’t too large to be cumbersome. Overall a very good & fun game that I’d recommend!… Expand

    I absolutely loved this game - solid combat, exploration of vast areas and a good story that doesn't take itself too seriously. There's many hours of gameplay here so you'll definitely get your money's worth. One of the best releases of 2020

    It's like Assassin's Creed meets Saints Row but in a PG environment. The dialog is pretty hilarious so far and I'm digging the freedom to just roam around and do as I pleas. E. If you liked Assassin's Creed Odyssey, you'll love this game.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising is hands down the most pure, joyful FUN I have had with a video game in 2020, and maybe 2019 as well. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played some great games in that span—some with tighter combat mechanics or a better story or deeper characters—but none that was more fun.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve played some great games in that span—some with tighter combat mechanics or a better story or deeper characters—but none that was more fun.

    It’s Breath of the Wild meets Greek myth with an Aesthetic inspired by Studio Gibli and emotional undertones of an animated Disney film. The game is absolutely gorgeous. This is the kind of game where you want to walk/fly around just to feast your eyes. The music is, for the most part, pretty great too. It’s a joy just to be in this world, full monsters and myths and challenges and puzzles (so many puzzles—seriously, this game is a real puzzler). And after the prologue, it’s fully open, meaning you can play any way you want to. If you love the arrow challenges and fresco puzzles but hate the constellation puzzles, you can usually do what you like and skip what you don’t. What the world lacks up in size it makes up in density: around just about every corner is puzzle hiding some kind of reward, and you can engage that puzzle or not, for as long as you want. Or you can just go fight some monsters, or climb a mountain, fight an optional boss, collect power-up items and gear to strengthen your character, learn new godly powers… and maybe at some point proceed with the story.

    The story is not the game’s strong point, and I don’t think it’s meant to be. After the prologue, I played for about 20 hours just exploring and having fun before I finally got back to the next main story quest. And I took lots of breaks from the main story after that too. I can’t help but feel that the game is meant to be paced this way. I played 70 hours total and finished with dozens of vaults and challenges still left incomplete. If you’re just rushing through the main story, you’re missing the game, IMHO.

    Not that the main story is bad, exactly: Typhon, a Titan, is trying to take down the Greek Gods and you, the unlikely hero Fenyx, need to help restore some of them to power. It’s all kind of goofy and silly, sometimes genuinely funny, sometimes kind of cringey. The Gods themselves are larger than life, often oafish, and the game really emphasizes the way they all function as an extremely dysfunctional family. Fenyx, meanwhile, has a heart of gold. The occasional moment of mean-spirited humor aside, the story overall has the kind of relentless emotional earnestness that makes Disney movies a household name. Immortals Fenyx Rising lite fare as stories and characters go … but lite fare enables the overall tone of light-heartedness that pervades the game and adds to its joy.

    There was only one big letdown for me, and that was the game’s final five hours or so. The game teases you with what looks like a giant mountain area that you can’t access until later on. Because the rest of the game was constituted by such excellent open world design, it’s easy to assume this final area will be a similar garden of treasures. Not so. It turns out the final area is a linear path with only one “right” way to go, and several mandatory puzzles. It has secrets and off-shoots along the way, but at the end of the day, there is only one way to climb that mountain. This marks a radical shift in game design that feels like a betrayal of everything that came before. Slogging up that mountain was not super-fun, and made the final vault, with its final round of mandatory puzzles, feel like more of a grind than it would have otherwise.

    But the frustration of the linear endgame ultimately was not enough to tarnish the joy that this game brought me. I LOVED Immortals Fenyx Rising. Getting to sink into this world for a week after all the hardships of 2020 seriously felt like therapy for me. Like, I’m a better, happier person because of this game. And that is not something I say often. Thank you, Ubisoft, for giving us this gem.    … Expand

    It also resembles AC Odyssey, due to the mechanics of skills, exploration, climbing, etc. It's a huge game, but not boring and with a map cluttered with disjointed things.

    Anyway, I highly recommend it and if one day a sequel comes out I will definitely buy it.    … Expand

    Ну, что можно сказать? Игра, это такая смесь TLoZ: Breath of the Wild, AC Origins и Prince of Persia 2008. Поэтому сравнивать буду именно с этими играми.
    Выглядит игра точно как Zelda, так что если графически BotW понравилась зайдет и Immortals Fenyx Rising. Ну боёвка, да и прокачка, досталась ей от AC Origins. А вот атмосфера, на мой взгляд, от PoP 2008.
    История рассказанная в игре звёзд с неба не хватает, но она вполне интересная, целостная и самое главное не надоедает до самого конца. Кажется, вот уже всё, интересное позади, а нет игра снова подкидывает интересный поворот. Может это спойлер, но когда в конце тебе говорят, что впереди последний босс и войдя возврата не будет, обычно это означает последний бой и конец, но и тут нет. Впереди меня ждали ещё несколько часов увлекательного геймплея.
    Теперь о прокачке. И она мне понравилась больше чем в той же Zelda. Не мудрёная, но и не такая плоская как в BotW. Качаться не перестаёшь до самого окончания игры. Кстати по миру можно бродить и после окончания сюжета.
    Боёвка же, досталась скорее от Ассасина. Удар быстрый, мощный, блок, отскок и супер удары (в игре это дары богов) которых здесь много. Да ещё о сложности. Она здесь просто невероятная, если ставить выше среднего.
    Игра обширна, хотя карта не сильно велика в ней не заскучаешь. И при том на харде игра занимает какие то смешные 6 ГБт!
    Очень порадовали "подземелья тартара", это такие головоломки как святилища в Зельде. Но в отличие от последней они какие то невероятно огромные и при том все разные. Вообще загадок в игре уйма, даже взять большинство сундуков это загадка.
    Теперь об атмосфере. Как я говорил она мне напомнила Принца 2008 года. Такая красивая сказка из которой не хочется выходить.
    Есть один недостаток, ну лично для меня, не очень большая разновидность рядовых противников. Да есть боссы их достаточно они все размещены по сюжетным локациям. Но вот супер противники на поверхности это, по сути, те же монстры которые ходят неподалёку, только со огромной шкалой здоровья и именем собственным.
    Некоторые рецензии построены на опыте в игре менее 20 часов! Чушь! У меня ушло на более менее полное прохождение больше 65 часов и это я ещё не прошел все подземелья и сундуки!
    Советую всем. Попадите в сказку смешных греческих богов. Отдохните от ужасов реального мира.    … Expand

There are enough variety of skills, quests, sub-quests and challenges to keep the player's attention. The voice dubbing are superb and reflect the personality of each character, except Hermes who was quite annoying. The best parts of the game are exploration by using wings to glide or by riding variety of mounts, and solving puzzles that offer enough challenge and stimulate the player to think, and not just bash through the game. The loading times are also smooth and almost non-existent, except for the initial game loading. On the negative, the time-challenges need incredible patience and can be frustrating at times. There are also quite a few variety of monsters and bosses, that are mostly re-used by using different color sprites. There are micro-transactions built in the game that are obviously meant to cash-grab, but thankfully Ubisoft limited the micro-transactions to visual changes that do not affect the game play. Overall, Fenyx Rising is a super-fun game that offer the player an entertaining and immersive adventure into a colorful world of Greek mythology that is worth playing.… Expand

The amount of precision gameplay required to solve some of the harder challenges is a bit disappointing considering the approach to accessibility throughout most of the game. You can make the combat easier and turn on clues for some puzzles. The look of the game is gorgeous and a breath of fresh air considering how dark and dire most open world games can be. The story sucks, the premise of playing with Greek mythology is largely wasted because of adherence to cliches and simplified characters. Greek mythology has a lot of layers that allows for interpretation, this game dumbs it down to a very basic and literal understanding. The dialogue is downright cringey most of the time; it's aimed towards a younger audience but isn't playful enough to be engaging and isn't real enough to be believable. I really dislike that they made Aphrodite a ditzy blonde, it's so insulting. Actually overall, the game has a pretty high level of sexism in the dialogue, though they try to disguise it as humor. So yeah. Fun to play tho.… Expand

    Immortals Fenyx Rising is one of the best adventures of the year, with one of the most beautiful and spectacular open worlds of the last decade, earning a place on the podium of the genre. The exploration is organic, the map is packed with activities to do, the skill tree is vast and truly useful, and the combat is some of the best I've seen in the genre.
