    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

    Really fun and good combat but like most ubisoft games, its big and soulless. But still more fun to explore in this one then in any assassin creed games.
    Cliche Disney narration and dialogue, goofiness and puns, so the worst kind of dialogue.

    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

    No idea how this janky uninspired breathe of the wild clone has such good reviews. It’s breathe of the wild minus everything that made that game fun. Ubisoft routinely pushes out garbage and gets amazing feedback, it never makes sense.

    The good stuff: The world is charming (The views and architecture are great). The narration is genuinely pleasant and funny, which is something I do not often say about a video game. Flying and free climbing makes me feel so free. The puzzles clicked with me - fun and make players think or explore. The music is pretty nice and fitting; epic. The size of the map and + soundtrack are nice.The good stuff: The world is charming (The views and architecture are great).

The puzzles clicked with me - fun and make players think or explore. The music is pretty nice and fitting; epic. The size of the map and + soundtrack are nice. Some animations are great, such as fenyx discovering the facilities of the hall of the gods, and the different animations for opening chests. The progression and sense of discovery are great. the mix of greek mythology and comedy are well done in my opinion. The puzzles and vaults are very varied in terms of difficulty and are always enjoyable to complete. the lack of levels for armor is great. the number of armors are just right too.

    What could have been improved: There is something about the arrows that does not feel great - it does not look very beautiful or feel satisfying. Overall combat is on the simple side. The crafting system/options could have been deeper. The variety of enemies leaves to be desired too, its mostly bears n chickens. Furthermore, enemy/npc ai is not the best. Also the greek accent on the english VA sounds very forced on everyone, it is quite jarring to me as a linguist. Some characters, especially aphrodite, are very annoying to listen to. Aphrodite sounds so dramatic and bipolar and i wish she would shut up, it is that bad. Finally, graphics of the bears and the deer mount could have been improved for example.

    Conclusion: As a person who likes greek mythology and had been very hyped until the reviews and gameplay footage releases, the demo and game ended up surprising me. It was fun and i wanted to explore the world while listening to the funny, engaging narrators. The gameplay and the world do not feel particularly deep, but there is a solid amount of things to do and discover, and the vaults and map are fun. despite the flaws, there is so much good here that i want to progress to the end and become stronger and complete all the side stuff there is to do along with the main story. 76/100

    extra: the longer u play the less fun it gets imo, a lot of repition, like a ubisoft game i guess. also the gods r just not that interesting. like aphrodite and athena should be powerful and mystical. their human forms rly cheapens the mystic of the gods. but the combat, puzzles, customization are great.    … Expand

    Decent game. Usual Ubisoft open world/collect the icons romp. Too many puzzles which gets tedious after a while. Good graphics with great draw distance. Decent combat and progression. However, rage quit after 20 hours because the last world is one of the worst designed levels in gaming history. I hope Ubisoft goes bankrupt.

Die Atmosphäre war auch eher sehr trist. Die Welt hatte kein Leben. Es wirkte wie einfach hingeklatscht. Überall wurde einfach nur irgendein Sammelobjekt hinter einem kleinen Rätsel hingebaut. Ansonsten ist die Welt völlig leblos. Nach den ersten Trailer damals, noch als Gods & Monsters, war ich gehypted. Am Ende kam aber nur gute Kost bei raus. Man kann es gut spielen und es macht auch Spaß, aber es gab deutlich mehr Potential und ich habe auch größtenteils nur die Hauptstory und paar auf dem Weg gelegene Neben-Rätsel gemacht.… Expand

    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.

    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]
