First things first: - The game requires installing the Ubisoft launcher. - There is an in-game cosmetics shop with micro-transactions. - The Gold Edition includes all 3 story DLC's + one of each cosmetics type. - There are online only daily challenges with in-game rewards like in live service/mobile games. - There are in-game rewards for leveling up your Ubisoft account and spending the points. - The game spends …

Let’s be clear: when Ubisoft unveiled this game, many turned up their noses, calling it just another clone of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with a coat of Greek paint. But after spending hours and hours playing it, exploring every nook and cranny of the Golden Isle, and challenging the gods themselves, the truth emerges with the force of a bolt of Zeus’s lightning. Immortals Fenyx Rising isn’t just a …

This one completely caught me off guard. I expected yet another Ubisoft map-checking simulator... you know, climb towers, clear icons, rinse and repeat. But instead I got one of the most creative and entertaining adventures they’ve made in years. Didn’t see that coming. The combat is fun - not too hard, not too easy - with plenty of abilities and enemy variety to keep it dynamic. Bosses are on the easy side, but …

One of the most fun and refreshing Ubisoft games of the last few years. Bought it initially in the Ubisoft store when it first came out, bought it again on Steam a while later with all the DLCs. Still has the Assassin's creed formula embedded deeply within, but wrapped around in a colorful, child-friendly art style. Depending on your play style, completing the game may take multiple dozen hours and during a big …

I absolutely loved the base game. It looks beautiful, the challenges are a lot of fun, and the combat feels smooth and rewarding. The variety of mechanics kept everything interesting, and between exploring the massive map, doing side activities, and collecting items, there are easily hours of content to enjoy. However, the DLC felt like a total waste of time. It lacks the charm of the main game, and the challenges …

Do you realize how hard we would have shit ourselves over Immortals: Fenyx Rising? That game didn’t even get a sequel now. Free yourself of nostalgia goggles.

Levels look pretty, overall design is good, the progression system is ok-ish (well, it's typical to games of this genre), but I cannot say that the game is good. 1. It is simply BORING. There are big pretty locations, but absolutely no motivation to explore them. I mean, yeah, there are chest, riddles, etc there, but most of these places exist just for the sake of putting a chest there. And there are way too many of these (chest and riddles) which exist just…

You can't play the game without ubisoft connect running. It really ruins immersion when you're getting bombarded with ubisoft connect covering the lower 1/8 of your screen constantly. You can turn off the in game overlay, but it doesn't care and still pops up. Controls are also pretty bad for M+KB. They don't have to be, but ubisoft doesn't care so…

This review will cover Good, Bad, and Ugly, with hopefully minimum spoilers. Let;s start with the Good: The Story is decent enough, The world is a nice size also, not to big or small. It has collectabiles most of them are puzzles, and I found all of them quite enjoyable and fun to do. For a Ubisoft game it has a surprisingly right amount of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm playing an Ubisoft game right now; if a game is cheap enough on Steam I don't care who the publisher is. So I got Immortals Fenyx Rising in exchange for dirt. It bears all the signs of a great creative team getting fucked over by exactly the sort of idiot who runs his mouth like *that* guy. There's even a demo level, explicitly called such in the game, for the now-cancelled sequel, how sad is that? The control scheme isn't completely ironed out and has some screwy behaviour in niche…

This is one of those times. Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a quality game with decent humor, beautiful & colorful visuals and enjoyable (if not particularly deep or original) combat mechanics and a array puzzles ranging from good to mediocre. It's a game where you'll stop every so often to just look around and appreciate how lush and pretty everything is. I cannot…

If you can skip that trap, the base game is a blatant copy of Breath of the Wild that actually beats it in every detail. You get permanent progression with a skill tree and meaningful weapons that do not shatter constantly, giving you actual motivation…

Game might look and be very good, but warning, high chance you will spend hours troubleshooting just to get it running.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tbh this is the type of game I wish was made more often. It's a pretty chill open world popcorn game. The stakes are low, the game doesn't take itself that serious, and it's not the most polished experience. It expects no emotional buy in from the player. You just jump in, run around an open world, follow a few quest markers, and have a good time. It's a very solid 3/5 type of title. The bones of exploration are definitely familiar to anyone who has played Assassin's Creed games, and there's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember Immortals: Fenyx Rising looking like a shameless, soulless ripoff of Breath of the Wild. Turned out to be an amazingly fun game that didn’t take itself as seriously as Zelda but had a tremendously satisfying gameplay loop and some really solid humor. This isn’t that though. This is gonna be some creatively bankrupt trash.

Lots of humor, greek mythology, fights, mechanics, puzzles, challenges, vaults are fun. The world is nice to look at, pleasant graphics and interesting to explore.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think the game deserves a neutral rating, and since we can't leave a neutral rating, I am making mine negative to balance out the mostly positive. Immortals follows the 3D Zelda formula of Exploration, Puzzles, Platforming and Combat. Older gamers like myself don't need to have played BOTW to understand the formula, because the formula has not changed much since OOT. You explore a large world, can access new areas as your equipment and abilities improve, and follow a loose story progression…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found Immortals Fenyx Rising at my local library. Decided to play as a bearded lady with face tats because I could. After saving the 1st of 4 gods, I think I’m done. It's not a bad game, just not good enough that I want to keep playing. A shame as this game should be right up my alley. #blutoid
neutral · AI labelView post →This game feels like a household chore. The puzzles range from boring to mildly annoying. The controls are bad — most of the time they’re just frustrating. It crashes randomly, and because of that I’ve grown to hate the menu music since I have to listen to it every time I restart. To add insult to injury, it checks for additional content every single time — and you can’t skip it. You have to wait through the whole login process and everything. Do yourself a favor: just focus on the main quest…

Also A LOT of quests and smaller tasks to complete in order to level up abilities, gear, etc.. So if you're not a completionist type player, also may not enjoy having so much to do. They put a lot of effort into witty dialogue which I appreciate. The scenery and graphics are very good. It's cartoonish, which if you need a break from dark, violent, sad story lines and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is just a great game. For long, i was looking a game to be just "fun". This is it, the music, the sights, the greek story and jokes about it. The game is perfect... you must grind?, yes but, is doable and pleasent. You have puzzles all over the map, just enough challaging to keep trying and not that hard to make "rage quit" :P. Give it a try, this is just a perfect game!!.

Good News: It's been several years since I played this game so I will gladly start it over and get the achievements on Steam this time.
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe this is heresy, but I think Immortals Fenyx Rising is a better game than Zelda: BotW or TotK… Every game system is more enjoyable to me, from combat to quests to the map, upgrades and crafting. The characters are better too. The only thing worse is a bit less polish.

They are in a pretty mess, because the giant arch-villain Typhon has stepped on them, and as is often the case, they have to be helped by a mortal who was predicted by an oracle. The truly massive…

neutral · AI labelView post →Immortals Fenyx Rising Review: A Bright World Dimmed by Ubisoft Flaws Immortals Fenyx Rising is one of those games that sits comfortably in the middle ground — not bad, not amazing, just… fine. It’s a title that clearly borrows heavily from Breath of the Wild, mixes in Greek mythology, and tries to make it all its own. And to its credit, it mostly works — at least when the game itself is working. Let’s start with the good: the gameplay is semi-decent. The combat system feels responsive…

neutral · AI labelView post →At first glance, this looks like a kiddie game, but upon playing for a few hours now, I find it to be just challenging enough to keep me interested in actually finishing the game. I've a long way to go, but I enjoy doing the challenges, and the story IS decent, with occasional humor mixed into the dialogue. Currently playing at 3440x1440p Ultra settings and HDR on, the game looks gorgeous. I would recommend buying the game AND season pass, to acquire ALL the DLC. It's well worth your time!

I know Ubisoft gets a lot of flack (deserved), but this is one of those exceptions where you're like "wait this is a Ubisoft game?" Well... until you see that there's a cosmetics shop in a single player game. But other than that, really cool! Definitely get this if you don't feel like spending $580 to play BOTW lol.
