    Haven't had so much fun and laughter playing this game. Hidden gem. It deserves alot more attention. I was pleasantly surprised.

    Biggest surprise of the year!
    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!

    Love this game! Has an Assassin's Creed vibe to it. It's one of those games that once you start it, you can't stop.

    It's Assassin's Creed Odyssey lite with Breath of the Wild like puzzles. 8/10. Rated it 10 to help get the overall score up.

    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.

    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.

    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

    I have no idea how people rate this below 8. This is an incredible game. 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.

    Awesome game, a lot of humor, great gameplay. I haven't encountered a single bug, making this probably the only Ubisoft game this year (if not ever) without (major) bugs on launch.

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

    Zelda the legend of dark souls. Forget the disappointing cyberpunk this is easily the best game of 2020, on hard mode the first 10 hours or so will seem like you're playing an open world of dark souls, combat is beautiful in it's early stages, just like a ds game but on steroids, as you progress this will start to move towards a more hack and slash game but still challenging.

Has an adult sense of humour but children wont get the jokes so it's family friendly much like a pixar cartoon. If you cant enjoy this game then no one can help you… Expand

    Love this game! It’s a nice break from the traditional hack and slash open world game by offering puzzles that challenge the gamer. It also has plenty of hack and slash when your in the mood for it. Good job UbiSoft!!

    Un juego muy completo y entretenido. Es cierto no es lo mejor de la historia pero cumple a la perfección, me costo acostumbrarme a la selección de botones mas su jugabilidad es entretenida. Una historia hilarante y unos visuales enriquecedores. Se debe apoyar las nuevas IP's.

The progression, world, enemy variety and design, the perks and skill system, the loot and customization and unique missions... It's all just really really good and well made. And the game isn't short, it's really long and immersive if you do everything in it which I did and I had fun doing it too. The puzzles in this game are wonderful and I'm amazed how they are all unique and fun to figure out and not repetitive. I absolutely love the different armor and weapon sets and how they each give different statistics that would suit your playstyle, that's how you're supposed to do loot instead of just stat number differences. I'm really excited to see what this studio releases next, I'll be first in line to buy their games. AC Odyssey is one of my favorite games if not the favorite game I've played.

    The only thing that I didn't like very much was the writing and comedy, but I get what they were going for, a light hearted fun game for everyone, It's not bad, it's just a lot of the times it's hit or miss. (The part with the chicken was hilarious) but still.. that's my only little issue about the game. Aside from that, everything else is fantastic.

    This is one of the few games where the developers really thought of everything and worked hard and actually cared about making a beautiful fun game.    … Expand

    As a fan of Zelda I venture to say that IMMORTAL is better or on the same level as BREATH OF THE WILD. I have 60 hours of play. Loving. History ... and especially GAMEPLAY, which is the highlight here. Remembering games like BAYONETA ... DEVIL MAY CRY ... GOW old ...

    The world is bright and colorful but i also like the forced humor somehow. It reminds me of Fable. But like Fable, the fighting is a little too easy. Also the supposed greek accent is absolutely awful!

    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.
