    A game for children and a waste of time and money. Has one of the most cheesiest stories, and terrible dialogue. Combat is easy, and the puzzles get repetitive fast.

    Such a fun game! The combat is a blast! The world is gorgeous! The characters are fun! It's just all around one of the best games in the last couple years! It's Breath of the Wild meets Assassin's Creed.

    Funny and entertaining game in which you can relax and still have a lot of fun, puzzles are very good and the combat is great... Overall this is the best game I played this year

    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.

In it, you explore The Golden Isle, a deceptively large island absolutely jam packed with intricate puzzles and mythological creatures such as the Cyclops, Cerberus and Medusa. You take part in a story, creatively narrated throughout by Zeus and Prometheus, of a hero that sets out to save their brother and restore everyone who has been turned to stone.

    The way the story is told may not be for everyone and some people might find it on the nose or cringey but it had me laughing throughout. The depictions of Gods are generally pretty funny, from Ares (the God of War) being a clucking chicken, to Zeus complaining about you doing sidequests when you should be focussing on him, even going so far as to trying to roll the credits when you finish the prologue. There's also this prevailing sense that throughout the story you have literally no control on where it will end up with things changing right in front of you depending on what Zeus and Prometheus are talking about at the time. And there are constant reminders that Prometheus and ultimately the writer controls what you do. The ending is a little messy and feels a little unsatisfying but doesn't stop the story from being one of the more fun stories I've played in a while. There is genuine heart in this story and it's evident that the creators put a tonne of effort into making the story engaging and full of different layers.

    The gameplay is also incredibly fun. i started out mainly using the axe to stun enemies and beat them down slowly, but as I unlocked more Godly Powers that changed, so much so that in the final boss fight i was constantly in the air chaining sword, arrow, axe and bird combos together and feeling like a badass doing it.

    The other major part of this game is the exploration; every corner of the map is filled with unique puzzles, each of which tell some sort of story through either the visuals or the task that you have to do. Whilst none of the puzzles are particularly challenging because they are so well designed, they do require you to think and assess the area. Traversal of the map is fun and while it looks like it might be similar to Zelda BOTW it doesn't feel really feel like that at all. By the end of the game which took me about 42 hours, I was left wanting more and immediately purchased the season pass which by the looks of it has 3 massive DLCs that I can't wait for.

    Overall, the worst thing about Immortals: Fenyx Rising is that it was released a week before Cyberpunk and because of this a lot of people might miss it. I highly recommend you pick up this game!    … Expand

    I didn't expect such a good game from Ubisoft. Give it a try, it has some fun puzzles and the gameplay is really smooth. Don't expect a great or very serious story and you won't be disappointed.

    O jogo tem me impressionado bastante positivamente. A mistura de ação com puzzle tem me agradado muito. O Jogo muito bonito. É diversão garantida, tanto para adultos quanto para crianças.
    Ressalto que o jogo tem estilo rpg e nem de longe é um jogo curto. Recomendo.

    Have to admit I was skeptical when I saw video previews of the game but I gave it a shot and I have to say it was way better than what I expected, there are still a few flaws for sure, for one thing the character dialogues can be quite cringe and nonsensical at times but the overall world feel and the combat are well done and engaging, I couldn't stop venturing into new territory evenHave to admit I was skeptical when I saw video previews of the game but I gave it a shot and I have to say it was way better than what I expected, there are still a few flaws for sure, for one thing the character dialogues can be quite cringe and nonsensical at times but the overall world feel and the combat are well done and engaging, I couldn't stop venturing into new territory even though I'm underleveled. The puzzles are well done and make you fully utilize the god powers you get throughout the game however some of the rewards you get out of them does not justify the difficulty sometimes. Overall it's a great game, even better than Ubisoft's other recent games like AC: Valhalla.… Expand

    Excelente juego, muy inspirado en Zelda pero ofrece muchas variables nuevas , llevo más de 60 horas jugando y siempre encuentro algo que hacer , los gráficos son buenos y estables con grandes paisajes.

    El único punto a mejorar son las expresiones de los personajes sin embargo esto no afecta allá experiencia , 100% recomendado para ps5 y Ps4

En PS5 goza de una fluidez total, los controles responden como un reloj suizo y de inmediato estás sumergido en una aventura que no deja de divertir ni un solo instante. Repleto de ingeniosos puzles, enorme libertad de movimientos, ágiles combates, una historia llena de humor y una jugabilidad muy variada, IFR es la gran sorpresa del 2020 y seguramente, el mejor título que ha desarrollado Ubisoft desde los clásicos Prince of Persia de 128 bits. PlayStation ya tiene un Zelda sobresaliente.

    Beautifully and light hearted. Yes, it borrows a lot from BotW and AC. But that is a win for me. It’s not overly complicated, so it’s perfect for a lighter gaming sessions where you just want to discover a beautiful world and beat up a few enemies. Play with 3D audio headset for added points!

    I was not disappointed, this game was epic, I have sunk 80+ hours into it thus far with my current foray into New Game+ to grab all the loot I missed. Of course it borrows a lot of mechanics and story to a certain degree but it puts an original enough spin on that for it to feel fresh and less cumbersome. The battle mechanics are spot on with the tactical switch between your arsenal of weaponry so you can really play the game to your own playstyle, go in heavy and play to the stun or pick enemies off from a distance with controller arrows, too much fun was had with Apollo's arrows, that is for sure! I was certainly brought into the lore and the world with this one with the story arch, the narration was fun with lots of twists and turns which was great!

    The puzzles were the highlight for me, reminded me a lot of the old Zelda puzzles modernized for the current generation, which I feel is a great thing. There were certainly a couple that had me almost reaching for the ol' google to assist with!

    I am so excited to see the post-launch content they have lined up in the season pass. Next to my fascination of Greek Mythology is my love of the history of the far east so let's hope the calendar for release is not too far away!

    Definitely recommended, one of my favourite games of the generation!    … Expand

    Immortal is a strong game from Ubisoft, considering their line up, but personally it feels like it lacks keeping the players attention to drive the story line.

    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]
