    Yes, this is Zelda on PC, but in Greek scenery and mythology. Ubisoft Quebec is good at combining gameplay and solid information on mythology in a humorous way that rarely happens. By the way, the humor in the game is great, I don't know why the critics decided that it was not funny.

    Ubisoft’s best game to date. I love every second of it. Graphics are breath taking, jokes are awesome especially if you have some knowledge of Greek mythology. Gameplay is so fun. Combat mechanics are well balanced. I mean what more can I ask for from this game. Absolutely brilliant!

    This game is AMAZING so far, the art and musics are incredible and I love the humor and relaxing story. It's impossiple to talk about Immortals without comparing it to Breath of the Wild.

    First to for the "it's a bland copy of BotW"! So what? Is that bad? It clearly leans heavily on Zelda, but in a good way. Gameplay is fantastic. Can't believe it's from Ubisoft.

    So about the game. It's solid. It has pretty good fighting mechanics, light skill trees, you can upgrade weapons and armor. You can transmog your gear, which is neat. You have puzzles, can tame and ride mounts.    First to for the "it's a bland copy of BotW"! So what? Is that bad? It clearly leans heavily on Zelda, but in a good way. Gameplay is fantastic.

    The game is about Greek mythology and you get some good chunks of history, presented in a light silly way (the humor isn't so cringe as some people told imho). You can choose male or female char and customize a little bit (not many options).

    The art-style is maybe a bit too simple, maybe a bit too colorful too, but when you are standing on a high point and look at the scenery, the game does look quite beautiful.

    I play it on PC, have played around 14 hours and can't put the controller down. Had 2 crashes yesterday and today none.

    I only have two things to nitpick about. The dashing while swimming is badly animated and feels off, while doing it.

    The other negative, which I don't like at all is the search mechanics to find all the POI on the map. You kind of have to scan with the cursor and get a short highlighted icon to tell you, that you are close to one. The problem is, to set a mark to a POI you really have to be precisely on the point. And there are a lot of points. It kind of is tedious and really takes away the fun.

    Give this game a chance, it got some hate. Check out some reviews and gameplay, this game is definitely one of the best games I played in a while.    … Expand

    Solid game, I love the art style and gameplay so far... The world is beautiful and full of places to go and things to do, However, The voice acting and animations are a bit off although that is such a small thing It did ruin the experience a tiny bit. Great game

    This is a great action adventure game with a mixture of Breath of the Wild and Assassin’s Creed gameplay elements blended together into one. It’s a strong recommendation for the holiday season.

    The game is set in Ancient Greece and casts players as Fenyx who must travel to set right the many things that have gone wrong along the way.

    Greek gods provide humorous narration to help move the story along as there is lots for players to do and see in the game.

    Once a character is created; players will have to climb, swim, battle, and solve puzzles in a highly-detailed universe. While some may think the combat would be hack and slash being able to gain advanced weapons such as a divine axe and bow really help mix things up.

    The Arrow of Apollo as an example allows players to control the arrow in flight which is ideal for solving puzzles and making precisions shots. I also used it to scout an area by firing it into the air and using it to study the layout of the area.

    Puzzles are a big part of the game and being able to hold and throw large boulders is key to defeating large enemies as well as moving large objects onto pressure plates to open doors or move heavy objects into position.

    After each main mission; players will be able to obtain new powers by completing a challenge from the Gods. This usually involves jumping from objects, solving puzzles, and combat. Upon completion players will obtain a new device/ability which will help them going forward. I can tell you that having a set of wings really helped cover the map by being able to jump from a cliff and glide to a destination as long as my stamina holds up.

    One great mission had me move a large pearl across the land and down hills to the see. Not only was it fun and varied; but it also showed how the missions are not repetitions of the prior ones.

    I had several hours invested in the game before the area with the cosmetic options and upgrades arrived and the sheer scale of the game ensures that players will not find this a quick gaming experience.

    Combat is a mix of hack and slash and ranged combat; but I am a big fan of smashing enemies with large boulders when able.

    Some may have issues with the campy dialogue and delivery of the lines but this would be missing the point as the game is a fun and immersive adventure which will provide gamers with plenty of hours of enjoyment.

    You can tell it's made by the studio that gave us "Assassin's Creed Odyssey" & "Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands" ... It's very well crafted & FUN! That's the word: FUN.
    I'm really enjoying this game. Totally worth it.
    Can't wait for the China DLC!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely loving it! Best game of 2020 for me! Immortals Fenyx Rising takes what was fun in Breath of the Wild and expands upon it, while also removing annoying mechanics like weapons breaking, or using the pause menu to eat food. Even mount riding is improved!

    I really enjoy this visual style and find the environments very pleasing. I want to keep exploring and find items without marking them on the map, but also appreciate that items can be marked on the map for quests. No need for a separate quest menu...although I wouldn’t mind having one.

    The gameplay is fun! I enjoy the fighting and the dodging has a great balance. It seems some elements from Horizon Zero Dawn influenced the game! Enemies evolve, which keeps it fresh! I do enjoy the variety of enemy types as well.

    The Vaults have been very fun so far! I haven’t felt like they are too repetitive and they look amazing too!

    The only reasons this game is not a 10 for me are the in game cosmetic shop, cheesy acting/dialogue at times, and the game name change. Most of the dialogue has been entertaining and I haven’t wanted to skip, but the animations after making potions and upgrading seem out of place. These animations remind me of the 2015 Kings Quest series where some of the dialogue and acting just seemed out of place and overly hyperactive.

    I hope to see more games like this! Maybe using some other fantasy like Earthsea, Wheel of Time, Belgariad, etc.

    Amazing game!    … Expand

    It's just as good as BOTW, no joke. While the raw exploration doesn't quite reach it's lofty heights, the combat, story and a bunch of Quality of life changes makes up for it making it a just as fun adventure. This is the best game Ubisoft has put out since Anno 1800, yes it's not very original, but a great game doesn't need to reinvent the wheel to be good, don't fix what's not broken.

Interesting story, nice grafics, bitter smooth game play, nice rpg elements, thought through fighting, well implemented puzzles and overall just a fun experience with a very nice story and presentation. Must buy in my opinion.

Performance on the Xbox One X is perfect, I've seen no framerate drops or stutters or anything. The story is not mind blowing but it's certainly a fun adventure. The game world is pretty big and very colorful. Not to be compared to a game like Valhalla, but honestly I enjoy it more and think it's way prettier. And no, this game is not a BotW clone, because I didn't like that game but I sure like this one.

    The only shortcoming of this game seems to be the marketing, Immortals is by far the best Ubisoft game this year and they seem not to have gotten that across as well as they should have. I played Valhalla which was okay, I enjoyed Legion which was good, but this one is amazing in comparison.

    I sincerely hope Ubisoft will release a sequel to this some time, because it really deserves one already, even though I'm still going strong with dozens of hours in.    … Expand

    Immortals is more than just a fun open-world with slick combat and massive Breath of the Wild vibes, it's also a superbly written and legitimately funny take on Greek mythology. This is one of Ubisoft's best games in years.
