    The game is good but not on Switch. It looks garbage while having low framerate. It is absolutely devastated on the Switch port. I would ve loved to put my money into the PC version instead

    I played on PC too and cross progression is very useful when I switch. I felt that motion controlled aiming was awful and control feels no so well as PC. I rate lower than PC cause control can improve and motion controlled aiming

Fenyx Rising is a good game done dirty on Switch with very questionable frame rates in both docked and hand held modes even with the latest patch as well as looking absolutely terrible due to the port to Switch being incredibly poorly optimised, many lighting effects have either been outright removed or disabled or toned down so much they are barely noticeable to the point something I thought was a minor visual glitch on Switch is actually meant to be a glowing tree trunk you get Golden Amber from.

    The source of the terrible performance and visuals on Switch from the few tests I've done seem to be coming from NPC draw distances being unnecessarily high (about 300m) and lighting effects from large braziers being visible at absurd distances as well (1000m or more). Strangely, from a high elevation looking out to sea also tanks the frame rate (tested in The Forgelands) so likely world draw distance is an issue as well, or the water simulation effects severely drain resources. There's no excuses for Fenyx to run, or look, this bad on Switch titles such as Xeonoblade 2/3 are evidence of this.    … Expand

    This game is very fun and takes many aspects from BotW and improves upon them, the trials/dungeons can be easy to very difficult but never frustratingly impossible... Give this game a try and I promise you won't be disappointed! : )

    If you are looking for a game similar to the Zelda games, this game is definitely for you. Perhaps many will see it as a copy of Zelda Breath of the Wild in terms of its mechanics, but I think it also has other things that make this game feel special and unique. Its exploration is superb and I never had problems with the frame rate and stuff.

These factors on their own are enough for me to not generally recommend the game. But let's go into the actual gameplay. If you suffer from motion sickness with games, even with the sensitivity options given, this game will be a struggle. Something about the tightness of corners and the closeness of objects make it more difficult than I would hope.

    On the switch the frame rate in the final updates is solid. On the switch, be aware that there is plenty of pop-in.

    If you can get past *all* of this, then know that the rest of the game is at least a 6/10. Various mobs just feel like fodder, whereas larger enemies at least have a few attack patterns. It can be fun to explore, but many of the puzzles feel inorganic. Essentially kid's puzzles and little memory gimmicks. I often worried how easy these would be to break, and I frequently found myself wandering into an area that already had a specific purpose in mind.

    The voice acting is great, 8.5/10. It's witty and quippy and comical while remaining in narrative character. That was one of the driving factors for me to continue.

    If you do decide to purchase this game, do it while it's on sale, I personally don't think it's worth full price    … Expand

    I think this is far from a perfect game, but it is still better than breath of the wild. Reviews always talked about how original botw was, not understanding gaming is about good games, not new games. ifr is just better than botw because it has platforming and some clearer puzzles.

    I really had a good time with this game. Easy to pick up and play and after they patched it soon after it came out. Yea its alot like Breth of The Wild but too me it is as good of a game as the if not a little better that because there is a story unlike BOTW. Gameplay is fun and the combat gets better as you get further in which i thought was great.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising was very addicting and it certainly gave me that Breath of the Wild feeling which was very welcomed. However, it is very different in so many ways.

    Bad stuff out of the way first: the story sucks a lot. Character models are weird and unappealing. I did not like the voice acting at all. Dialogues were intended to be funny but my god it is was far from that.

Dialogues were intended to be funny but my god it is was far from that. Another thing that annoyed me was the gliding, you can’t go backwards! You have to make this weird circle to turn around, highly annoying.

    Besides all the bad, you have an amazing game in my opinion. Combat is really good and satisfying, especially when enemies die, they shoot out into the horizon like a canon ball. Exploration was awesome since there are many things to find, well mostly puzzle, like a mega load off puzzles. Some are mediocre but I found the majority to be well designed and fun!
    Often the rewards for doing a puzzle was underwhelming like just a few gems and a new visual for a weapon/gear you already have.

    If you keep doing side stuff, the game allows you to become insanely powerful and I love when games do that. I played it on hard and man oh man, at the beginning I kept dying trying to kill a god damn bear, at the end, nothing could stop me with the way I used my gear/weapons, god powers and potions. Like the last boss was a joke. But most of the game I considered was difficult at the hard difficulty because I wasn’t all decked out the entirety of the game. But at one point you get just too powerful for the game and that’s fine, it’s a good reward.

    Last thing I want to say is, Fenyx is the type if game that I was like « ok I’ll just do one more thing then stop », an hour later I was still playing.

    45h to complete with lots of side stuff.
    Played on the Switch, runs really well, 30fps. It had a few dips in the frame rate but nothing too jarring. Load times are on the long side but are acceptable.

(BOTW is my favorite game of all time because of the freedom and smoothness of gameplay. I 100%ed the game because I didn't want to quit playing, but it does have its downsides).

    Anyways, I bought this game because I wanted that same experience. I played it for a few hours then put it down because it wasn't grabbing me like BOTW did. I recently picked it back up after a few months, and after about 20 hours I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. Here are a few thoughts:
    - While the weapons aren't as diverse, the combat has more depth. There are special moves that you can obtain and upgrade that really make combat quite fun. I'm still learning some of the mechanics, and the battles are NOT easy (that's a good thing).
    - The cutscenes were pretty funny at first, but then they get kinda cheesy. Overall, they are well done.
    - I remapped the controls, and I think it may be causing some issues. Sometimes I can't sprint for some reason. My jump and collect/activate button are the same, so sometimes when I want to jump, I end up hitting a switch instead.
    - The world is huge, with so much stuff to do, although much of it is the same (solve a switches puzzle, defeat an enemy to unlock a chest, etc.).
    - There is not enough variation in certain areas of the map. It's just hard to distinguish between certain locations. You could show me a picture of a location in BOTW and I could tell you exactly where it is and how to get there. There were towns, springs, landmarks with unique names and history, different races of people, etc. So far in this game, I'm not finding many things to be that unique on the map.

    Overall, it's a fun game. It lacks the charm and realism that BOTW has, so don't expect to feel like you are living in this world.    … Expand

    The game lacks some features that bring down the score: Mainly an ability to confirm your progress (missing both a way to track overall progress and a way to ensure you have all points of interest marked on the map).

    The controls take some getting used to, but the game is forgiving if you run out of stamina and need to fast-travel to a nearby location instead of dying.

    Unfortunately, the ending came out of the blue and, in my view, made all your struggles to that point meaningless. The DLCs do build on that ending, but that doesn't excuse it.

    I'll start with a short version of what I want to say. This game isn't great. I would call it mediocre and average by Ubisoft standards. It clearly tried to copy many things from BOTW and I feel that it doesn't do much with it. I'd say a 3/10 is a fair score, considering there wasn't much passion on this.

I would call it mediocre and average by Ubisoft standards. It clearly tried to copy many things from BOTW and I feel that it doesn't do much with it. I'd say a 3/10 is a fair score, considering there wasn't much passion on this.

    I remember first hearing about the idea of Immortals:Fenyx rising when one of the developers Assassin's Creed Odyssey mentioned a weird bug in the game that made all your ship crew look like cyclops. They had the idea of what if you can make them all cyclops and that's how the idea for this game started. Funnily enough you don't get a cyclops crew. The idea of this game was to be about Greek mythology, which would contrast AC Odyssey's historical theme. It's certainly a good idea in concept. They also wanted to capture the entire idea of BOTW, which I think is a big issue. I'll try to list as many comparisons that I noticed as I can throughout playing this game. The one that stuck out the most were the enemy cyclops, which acted exactly like a hinox, being big and slow, being stunned when hit in it's one eye, and weirdest of all how it would randomly turn towards a tree and slowly walk to it and grab it and use it like a club. Next is the idea of being an open world game with very few NPCs. You have a small hub, being the hall of the gods, and other than that there really isn't anywhere in the game where you are safe. BOTW had a similar idea with only stables and towns being safe points. The thing I also find jarring is the lack of NPCs in Immortals. If you've played fallout 76 you would know why this is a red flag. Unfortunately the only characters around are the gods, and I genuinely wish that I could take videos on my switch because the things they say and especially the way they talk is so bad that I want to upload clips to YouTube to make fun of. All of the voice actors are so weird. In Odyssey all the characters had that normal subtle Greek accent that was believable. They talked like normal people. In this game it feels like every character is yelling while laughing while crying. A special shout-out goes to the make main character voice because it was so bad that for the first time ever I switched the character's gender to female just so I wouldn't hear the male one. Everything is so unnatural. And maybe it's just because I play on switch, but all the animations feel really awkward and stiff. Especially when having to watch the little cutscenes that play when you upgrade health, stamina, your weapons, or making potions. It looks really bad, and for some reason you can't skip them, but when you press B you make the cutscenes move forward slightly. A weird thing that Immortals tries to copy from BOTW is the amount of things to do. BOTW had the shrines and koroks. Immortals also has something similar to shrines called vaults that usually aren't very good, but instead of koroks they have a bunch of stuff. I'm not gonna list it all out but there are so many little things to do that it makes the game bloated and made me have to turn off completed objectives. You can't walk two feet without running into some ambrosia or a vault or anything. And I think this is what Immortals messed up and forgot about when copying BOTW. When you played Zelda, the world was great. It was big, and it took time to travel, because you didn't see something on your map that said there was a specific object here. You would be walking and you'd see a burned down village and would explore, and may find some loot. The idea of exploration came from its world design of not being imposing on the player and letting them set out to find and do what they wanted. Immortals will reign you in every chance it gets, and if you are somewhere that doesn't have any special items in it, you don't want to explore. You can scout everything around you in a 360 degree radius and you will follow the map to that item, grab it and leave. Why? Because you know nothing new is there. In BOTW, you don't have that marker that says something secret is hidden in a place, so you go explore the entire area, and you may find an item, and will feel more accomplished because you found it. It wasn't a puzzle you had to solve a specific way, you just looked around and found it. And if you don't find something, you usually got a bit of light world building, or got to see a nice landscape. This is another big issue with Immortals. They took away that want to explore and the creativity. The vaults aren't fun because there is only one way to solve them. Think of how many shrines in BOTW you can do in unintended ways. Immortals has no diversity. It's just find the exact target to shoot with an arrow, or find a big enough stone to put on a pressure plate. Now from this description it sounds like a 0/10 but there is some good to boost it. Mainly I like the combat which is like Odyssey. It's simple and intuitive and makes it easy to implement special attacks. Still a 3/10.    … Expand

    While I can appreciate that this is objectively a good game that plenty will love… for me this was a game that kept throwing school work at me when all I wanted to do was play at recess… and once I get out to recess its like oh, its raining.. youre playing in the gym today, not the playground like youre used to doing.. meaning that this world is just a chore to even get around in.. the whole stamina whil you run, climb, swim, and soar thing can be fun if done right.. its not done right here.. its annoying and just makes traversal not fun.. . but I am again just speaking for myself.. for me the combat gt stale fast, the traversal becomes annoying fast, and the puzzles get annoying boring and overwhelming fast… what am I doing playing this?
    for a lot of people though theyre hearing this review being all like. Yeha this is what I want, imam buy this right now.. I get it.. tis a good game, just not for me.

    It's like the Ubisoft execs saw BotW, how much it was praised and how much money it made and they then went and told their team to make something "like BotW", except nobody involved in this process understood what made that game so great to begin with. So they just started superficially copying gameplay elements from it, all the while trying to squeeze them into the typical, cookie-cutter Ubisoft Open World formula, without realizing that those two things are NOT COMPATIBLE.

    Seriously, whoever prefers THIS over BotW needs to go to a neurologist and get themselves checked out, because there's a very high chance they have a brain tumor. These two games are not even remotely in the same league.

    But, if you really want the 2,000th cookie-cutter Ubisoft Open World Action RPG, this time with a Zelda coat of paint, suit yourself, get this game. If you want the real thing, by god, please, just go play BotW, and be better off for it.    … Expand

    FIR is an incredibly frustrating game. Though it is an obvious rip-off of BoTW, it tends to play relatively well the closer it sticks to that inspiration.

But Ubisoft clearly doesn't understand what made BoTW fundamentally captivating, instead opting for endless puzzles that are almost entirely variations on "pick up heavy object and place on platform." There are some clever shrines...er...I mean vaults...but there are just as many with terrible platforming design that can only be accomplished through a trial-by-error approach. In other words, where BoTW rewarded players for being clever and thinking through puzzles, FIR rewards persistence. Like most Ubisoft titles, I gave up after a certain number of hours out of sheer boredom. I wish I could have enjoyed the game more -- despite the bad writing and voice acting, there is a certain endearing quality to the characters and story -- but there just isn't enough variation and polish to make it worth your while.… Expand

    Отличная игра! Для Switch самое то. На старших консолях возможно оценка была бы ниже, так как в этом жанре игр с открытым миром полно, но на Switch как раз не хватает таких проектов. Порт отличный, в портативе играется приятно. Проседаний фпс не заметил. Пробовал демку на PS5, графика конечно получше чем на Switch в плане количество деталей, качества текстур, но на портативке смотрится всеОтличная игра! Для Switch самое то.

Сессионная игра, зайти на пол часа и поискать пару сундуков, пройти одну-две сюжетные миссии. Рекомендую… Expand

    An amazing game, that is downgraded from some fans, just because it's superior to BOTW! Shame...

    It’s a Greek tragedy that Immortals: Fenyx Rising hasn’t received the god-like reception it deserves, as it forges its own identity albeit with some familiar themes. [Issue #3, p.57]

    Immortals Fenyx Rising is always going to be compared to Breath of the Wild, but against all odds, it puts up a massively formidable fight. What's excellent about Immortals is not so much what it shares with Nintendo's biggest Zelda game, but rather where it differs, offering a fresh new approach to storytelling, a fantastic progression system, and a world that you'll never want to leave. No game is perfect, but for me, Immortals comes just about as close as you can get.

    Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a superb new IP from Ubisoft. It may borrow heavily from other titles, but don’t get hung up on it. This isn’t a cash grab. It’s a beautiful game and a quality product, crafted with love.
