Immortals Fenyx Rising

Absolutely amazing game! I loved it so much and I think the game is so creative. I most love how you have the storyline to complete but you don't have to do it and you can just go do whatever you want.

I can see why some people think this is a hidden gem. Then again, I also see why many people do not think that. Immortals Fenyx Rising is a hard one to review because in individual playthroughs I found a lot to like about the game, but in total it's so padded that the good things about it come too infrequently. The open world is nice but IMO not as nice as Assassin's Creed Odyssey which this is kindof a splinter off from. It's very cartoony and bright but lacks the realistic wow factor of AC Odyssey. In typical Ubisoft fashion the game is a big open world map with hundreds of icons scattered around denoting various activities and chests to collect. Each individual activity can be cool and include interesting narration from Zues and Prometheus on various greek myths. The puzzles can be quite fun and the combat for the battle chests is serviceable. So why is it not an instant recommendation? Well for every unique puzzle you get (like a dungeon that is basically just 3 progressively more difficult pinball games) you get a lot of repeated "push block on pad" puzzles. Every activity, from the puzzles to the chests you need to kill monsters to open, feels like it repeats a bit too often to keep fresh. If you play like 30-60 minutes a day you probably won't notice but for big sessions you quickly start to feel the repetition. The padding also compounds an issue with the skill system: the combat can feel very basic until you manage to unlock several abilities. So the combat isn't at its peak until near the end of the game, which is normal, but you spend so much time getting there you have an uncomfortably long time where the combat feels terrible. Near the end of the game is where it actually starts to shine. Difficult enemies are balanced out by the player having stronger abilities and the fights get way more epic in scale. On a random dungeon you can suddenly be faced with legendary monsters which make the fights more satisfying since you're not just exploding generic thugs. I like the characters and writing but, again, because of the padding it feels like we get a relatively light sprinkling of both. I think you could cut out an entire 1/4 of the main island and be better off. So overall I think I can recommend it when it's on sale for open world game fans who don't mind a bit of padding. It's not so much a diamond in the rough as a diamond lost in the couch cushions.

Pretty decent, never great. Truth be told, I picked up this game because I wanted to play Breath of the Wild but don't own a Switch. I quite enjoy the "you can climb anything as long as you have stamina"-mechanic and the cell-shaded environments. The characters, story and dialogue however failed to rope me in. The characterizations and voice acting are very on-the-nose and can be quite off-putting. The humour is pretty hit or miss, but at times manages to be charming. I personally didn't mind the dual, bickering narrators, but I can see it being grating. Near the end I found myself suddenly really enjoying the game because the objective was just to "find a way to the top of the mountain" without quest markers or interruption by hamfisted dialogue scenes. Where Immortals really shines for me is its puzzle design. The object manipulation/physics puzzles are many but they're always clever, just the right kind of difficult without being frustrating and just enough to break up the gameplay. I was positively suprrised at how satisfying it feels. Early on I worried that the combat was gonna be kind of a slog all game long but especially towards the end I had a good collection of abilities I relied upon and it felt impactful. Notably the combat animations are much better done than any dialogue animations, most of which feel like stock engine animations. So Immortals has some good ingredients but feels undercooked and sadly this isn't helped by the classic Ubisoft bloat. Did I enjoy playing it? Yes. Would I recommend it? Unfortunately no, because action RPGs like this are a dime a dozen and there's better ones to play for your dime, even if that means missing out on some really enjoyable puzzles.

Having tons of fun. It's a poorer version of Zelda BotW, but you can't expect much from generic Ubisoft. An improved sequel would be very cool, but Ubisoft died by her own hands, so...

Immortals Fenyx Rising zerado Ubisoft a maior da europa mesmo, não te jeito, aventura incrivel e a exploração do mapa é uma delicia, esse jogo foi uma surpresa não esperava nada, extremamente divertido Ter a nossa campanha narrada e discutida entre Prometeus e Zeus é muito foda kkkkk, o humor e o drama dos dialogos dos dois é muito legal, fora a aventura em si que é muito top #36 jogo zerado em 2025

Caveat emptor. Does not launch on Windows 11. No amount of trouble shooting or rebooting in safe mode makes a difference. Launching in Steam just opens the Ubisoft Connect app and nothing else happens for hours. Game itself never loads, never shows up in the process list on Task Manager. Works on Steam Deck, occasional bugs and hard crashes but mostly playable.
