Immortals Fenyx Rising Reviews

it was fun when it came out,just returned to this title and still enjoy it!!

Awesome game, great graphics, fun but somewhat repetitive gameplay. Quite humorous, one of the few games i've played that has actually made me laugh several times. Some kind of dry adult humor but overall it's pretty funny. Alot of fun puzzles. Also alot of repeated and somewhat annoying puzzles after awhile that seem to just make things longer. But overall I really enjoyed this game. DLC's I didn't enjoy as much. Partially because I had just completely finished the main game and I was a bit burnt out but in my opinion they're not as good as the main game. Overall though, 9/10. Highly recommend.

BotW, if it were actually good. If BotW and AC make a lil baby, that has the best of both, but has his lil own personality and humor too. Not having the BotW durability crap just make this the far better game. Better graphic and performance (obviously), better writing, better combat, better enemies. I expected nothing and been big surprised. Probably the best game from Ubisoft in the last years.

Combat and traversal of open world is very thought out. Love it

Ubisoft Connect crashes when I try to play and the game won't launch, so I can't play my game that I bought on Steam. Make that make sense and fix your shitty launcher that nobody wants.

Pros: Good map design. Colorful. Funny. Voice acting. Cons: Game would hard freeze on my rig often:( Troubleshooting could not fix the problem. Villain written rather bland and cliche. Not a lot of unique enemies. Ubisoft Connect.

This is one of Ubisoft's hidden Gems. This is a very fun game with a lovely art style. The game actually respects your time and has a lot of variety. There are some Open World quirks, but they aren't horribly bothersome. I recommend you play this hidden gem of a game!

Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a surprisingly fun game. A blend of Breath of the Wild and Assassin's Creed, it features a dynamic traversal system, a large open world to explore, simple but fun combat, and well-designed puzzles. The real star of this game, in my opinion, is the writing. The dynamic between the two narrators is entertaining, and the way that Greek myths are conveyed to the player is carefully handled and always funny. I love the levity that this game brings to them. Even if you haven't played an Ubisoft game in decades, I'd still recommend this game.

This one has become my favourite game the day I ran it for the first time. It's a lighthearted story insipired by Greek mythology, where delightful graphics and an amazing soundtrack are the frame for a quite effective writing. Lots of puzzles, wonderful places to explore and a good dose of action result in a funny and variegated gameplay where relaxation and challenge alternate often. DLCs aren't as good as the base game, so if you want to give them a try don't expect a similar experience. The one I liked most is the Eastern Realm one, which I would have loved to see as a standalone game. To conclude, if you want to spend some time on a light game and you are into Greek mythology, I think this one is a must have. I highly recommend it.

Finally 100% steam achievements after 345.6 hrs of playtime. Ubisoft deserves a thumbs up for adding steam achievements. For players who want to 100% this game, you have to get the gold edition. I got it for a steep discount at 90% off and I think it's worth the price paid for what it offers. The base game is an open world with secrets and many puzzles to solve, While majority of the puzzles are quite straight forward and requires some thinking to solve, there are a couple that can be quite frustrating to solve and might require a video guide. These puzzles on the world map are optional and you can totally skip them if you want to. You are rewarded for completing each puzzle. But there are puzzles which are compulsory in the main story. So if you are someone who dislikes puzzle solving, this game might not be for you. The combat feels a little similar to AC Odyssey. You can easily get 100hrs of playtime if you thoroughly explore the world map, do all sidequests, solve all puzzles and collect 999 of each potion resources(just like me). There are also additional daily & weekly challenges from the Hall of Gods and Ubisoft Connect(weekly only) to help with resource gain to power up your hero. There are 4 + 1 Challenges from Ubisoft connect, 4 of which are solo challenges and the remaining 1 is a community challenge. The community is still active till this day. Hence the challenge always completes and you get free resources by participating. You can also earn in-game currency Elektrum to buy cosmetics or resources. There is also a newgame+ which carries over everything, with enemies scaling to your hero's strength, thus making the game harder than the 1st playthrough. My reviews for the 3 DLCs might not be accurate as my last completed time was in early 2024: For DLC "A New God": I recommend only starting this DLC after completing the base game as the story is a continuation. Like the base game, this DLC mainly focuses on doing puzzles. These puzzles are compulsory and required to progress the story. The DLC is only a small map and not open world. There are secrets to find too. Each God has about 5 trials(or puzzles) for you to solve. Most of the hardest puzzles are in this DLC. This DLC might make you pull your hair, throw your controller or smash your keyboard. You will also likely be surprise with some of the puzzles and have a good laugh when you approach it(only towards the end). If i remember correctly, you are able to load your save file from your main game but I think only cosmetics are only loaded. Your main hero stats starts afresh and you have to gain them as you play. And this is the only DLC I have played so far that the hero can do a [spoiler] quad [/spoiler] jump. For DLC "Myths of the Eastern God" This is just a reskin of the base game and has nothing to do with the main story, so you can probably start this anytime. It is open world and the map is smaller than the base game. There are some puzzle types which is new and not in the base game. Everything else plays the same as the base game. Characters/Enemies you see here look similar with different names. This DLC has it's own story in Chinese mythology. Treat this DLC as a smaller game on its own compared to Fenyx Rising. If you are an achievement hunter, you need to take note of the achievement [spoiler]"Lighter Than Air"[/spoiler]. Even if you miss it, there is another method to achieve this. For DLC "The Lost Gods" This is somewhat a continuation after "A New God" DLC. I feel that it doesn't make much of a difference whether you start this DLC before or after "A New God" though I will still recommend starting this DLC after completing "A New God". The DLC introduces more Gods that did not appear in the base game. You start the game as a servant with the same fighting style as Fenyx and her main role is to unite all the Gods. It has a fresh take, instead of the usual 3D open world, this DLC offers an isometric view with a map on the bottom right of the screen. The map cannot be shown in full. In my view, this only lengthens the play time and it can be annoying as you cannot view far. The skills "upgrade" also differs from the base game, you find different elemental essences that grant different power ups when equipped to each ability. This is a good idea and you can customise your hero stats or abilities with it. One little downside to this DLC is that whenever you save the game, you have to use a consumable. [spoiler]Luckily, this consumable can be farmed infinitely so it shouldn't post much of an issue.[/spoiler] Lastly, I think that either Ubisoft Connect should be removed or updated such that there is no "searching for new updates" every time a game is launched. Because I have not seen any new updates from Immortal Fenyx Rising since I first started playing this game and I have to wait about 15-30 seconds at the main menu each time the game is launched. There are also occasional crashes when completing the weekly challenges. Otherwise the game runs smooth, is decent and fun to play.
