    As good as Zelda Breath of the Wild !! And in some areas even better !
    Luckily I don't look at all the Sony-haters bomb reviews.. This game is better than the last Assasin's Creed I did, which are just plain painful, tiring and boring for any completionist, with their thousands of repetitives tasks in open worlds way too big and boring !
    Here the size is just "Right". The sidequests are    As good as Zelda Breath of the Wild !! And in some areas even better !

    Here the size is just "Right". The sidequests are entertaining AND interesting ! Based on Greeks awesome mythology's library !!
    The whole progression is and feel good and I'm so happy as lately I was more often than not disappointed by "big triple AAA"..

    Fun, great, technically perfect with the 60 fps I can't go without, interesting, deep, humoristic... so many qualities that make this game my personal GOTY this year.. !    … Expand

    Immortal Fenyx Rising is a great Ubisoft game that was supposed to be call « Gods and monsters ». I was really satisfied with my experience with this game.

I was really satisfied with my experience with this game. Everything it does, it does it really well whether it’s puzzles, exploration, crypts (equivalent of Shrines in Zelda), bosses, flying through the world, etc… In fact, it’s impossible to not compared this game to Zelda Breath of the Wild. I gave Zelda a 7/10 here and I would say that for me, Immortal Fenyx rising is superior in many ways. The combat is great, the world is filled with a lot of interesting puzzles and quests, moving and climbing feel fluid and not like a chore, puzzles are great !
    Immortal Feny Rising is not a Zelda clone though…It feels more like a mix of Zelda, Darksiders 2 and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. I would even say that 1/3 of the world make me think of each game I mentioned. It seems that Ubisoft re-used some assets from AC Odyssey but in a more cartoonish way.
    In terms of graphic quality, it is pretty cool overall. In my opinion, just the character modeling left to be desired. The story is a bit above average for me but nothing outstanding like The Witcher 3 or some Yakuza games.
    So, how this game compares to other PS5 games ? I rate it as a 8,8/10 so 9 here on Metacritic. I had a lot of fun playing this game, the puzzles are varied and great, the difficulty is well balanced (a bit more on the easy side though…) and there is good value (my playthrough lasted 75 hours with a lot of side content completed). Would I consider it as a masterpiece ? No but it doesn’t lack much ! I strongly recommend this great game from Ubisoft Quebec !    … Expand

    Cara, que jogo bom!!! Fiz questão de vir avaliar aqui (Nunca avaliei jogo por preguiça) o game me prendeu de uma forma que outros não conseguiram, um que chegou muito que me deu vontade de fazer tudo do game foi o God Of War de 2018. Pra quem gosta de cultura grega e jogo de aventura, com bom combate, pode ir, se vc tiver uma boa TV/monitor vai curtir muito esse game pois está lindo! AsCara, que jogo bom!!!

    Excellente surprise, malgré un début un peu poussifs, j'ai été pleinement embarqué dans l'action, des systèmes de jeu efficaces pour un jeux extrêmement plaisant à jouer. Vraiment le meilleur jeux ubisoft de ses dernières années, seul bémols la boutique et le season pass qui ampute une partie du contenu

    Excelente jogo, com um mundo muito simples e que dá vontade de explorar! A história é um bocado pobre, mas isso não desfaloriza o jogo.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising is a great game. I went into the game a bit cautious being a Ubisoft open-world game but this was quite refreshing. very funny and quite fun. highly recommend. Obviously a rip-off of Breath of the Wild but does enough to be its own game.

    There are a lot who compare this to Zelda BotW but this one actually shines in its own right and invites players to go in to its world and stay there for 60+ hours of quality gaming. Cheesy, funny, excellent world, very good boss battles. Its simply everything in an adventure. Haven’t said that in quite sometime but my take on it, well done Ubisoft.

    It was actually better than I expected....
    Pros.
    1. Graphics are really good on Next-gen consoles
    2. Combat is simple yet meaty
    3. Found the main story kind of interesting and light hearted
    Cons.
    PUZZLES- way too many of them. It varies from person to person but to me, they became a chore after a while.

    This game was a big surprise. Id argue its a huge hidden gem that i loved for the majority of my experience.

The weapons bonuses really were a better compromise than the weapon breaking system of BoTW. the combat was fast paced and very skill based. there was never a time i felt like my controls failed me and every death i got was earned. Its a fast paced fun adventure. this game is very similar to breath of the wild but its differences actually improve the game for the better. The search system also eliminates some of breath of the wilds issues specifically with the korok seeds which was not fun to find them. the search system eliminates this issue and allows you to find items where ever they may be. a great thing for completionists. The abilities were all useful from athenas shield dash to ares spear rise everything has a use and i used certain other abilities a lot more than i thought i would like the phosfor clone ability. they really made the game full use of ability.

    The story was really fun. the story starts with fenyx a person who ends up on the island of the greek gods and has to rescue them and defeat typhon. the story is great. the commentary between Zeus and Prometheus is one of the best parts about it. the retorts are witty and fun and something i really enjoyed.

    Regarding The DLC. the 1st and 2nd DLC were really good and fun. the 1st dlc is on olympus and not to spoil anything its basically a test of your skills with your abilities.

    2nd DLC takes place on a different island and the main character for this is Ku a soldier who mysteriously survives the petrification that takes place on the island and in order to seal the rift works with the goddess nuwa to do it. Its a fun short adventure, a mini version of the game that i loved

    3rd DLC I hated it and wasnt nearly as fun as the 1st two. i had high expectations for this DLC after the 1st two. It felt really budgeted and messy. The story is fenyx is trying to help get the gods who left olympus back on olympus but is forbidden to leave so he summons a champion named ash to bring the gods back to their home. Its a top down combat experience but tries to be like the normal game with a fixed camera that just doesnt work. having to earn all the powers you gained for a 3rd time is a chore. the story is fine but they use these cheap text box with a picture.

    This 3rd DLC felt like their budget was cut and this is what they decided to do. its honestly the worst of the bunch. its not a bad game but with the 1st 2 dlcs being so good it was just disappointing stuck in a metroid situation and not granted some previous abilities in the beginning and backtracking in a design like this can be a nightmare and some powers you dont get till very later on so it detracts from the experience.

    Overall the base game is a 9/10
    the DLC is a 7/10
    1 is 9/10
    2 is 9/10
    3 is 5/10

    overall this is a game worth playing with its DLC. I think everyone who loves breath of the wild should give this game a shot.    … Expand

    I've spent the day playing Immortals Fenyx Rising and I'm having a BLAST! This game is amazing, and ridiculously fun!

    I remember watching the live when they announced it, the bad reception on chat, all those trolls and mean words, like Ubisoft is not allowed to do something different, not allowed to go into the world of cartoonish graphics or marvel-like sarcastic and funny scenes.

    I'm LMAO loud with Zeus and Prometheus talking. The armors and weapons I get so far was beautiful, and the combat and gameplay was solid and really really nice. I don't remember the last game I've spent most of the time playing smiling and laughing all the time. One of my best purchases of the year for sure.

    To all developers who design the game play and writers who thought in the story and the conversations between characters: congratulations and thank you. ❤️

    The fact that i finish this game in Platinum means it is super fun and worth it. but, in my opinion there are valid reasons why it is super fun. It is because most of (if not all) of the things i enjoyed and loved about it are copies from BOTW in fact, they didn't actually do a pretty good job. the battle system, exploration, world settings are more polished in BOTW and feels realistic and natural. It felt like nostalgia and re-skin of BOTW. what is worse, they attempt to combine it with Assassins creed formula. AC formula of new gen is really really bad. BORING, and repetitive world. at the end of the day it is still super fun. now lets go to positives and what is new and unique about this game. first is the story. I love the re-telling of Greek Mythology stories, what's not to like? it was not as bad as AC next Gens. and lastly, its for not stretching it too much. i manage to finish the game by not vomiting for over stretching the game. There are some bad result for combining AC and BOTW but there are few that went pretty well. Its the loot, progression, and level up system. And lastly, its capability to glide.

    It is very hard to avoid comparing Immortals to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Despite obvious inspirations it is a typical Ubi-game with all its pros and cons, an inventory screen copied almost exactly from Assassin’s Creed, and a store with premium items. Anyhow, it’s Ubisoft’s most interesting game in years, definitely worth checking out for its satisfying exploration accompanied by simple combat and tons of good puzzles. [01/2021, p.62]

    Ubisoft's open-world titles can invoke burnout towards their conclusion - crumbling under their own weight due to their size. Instead, this is a real palette cleanser. It feels like it hits that real sweet spot in the genre of the open-world adventure games. The world is large but enjoyable to explore, with just enough to do, and the constant commentary keeping things interesting. This combined with the genuinely funny and smart writing results in something that will be the big surprise hit for many.

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Breath of the Wild set the bar for the genre, and since Link never got around to visiting Ancient Greece – there’s no shame in sending Fenyx there instead. [Issue#251, p.56]
