Immortals Fenyx Rising Reviews
Do not overlook this game and if you are a fan of big colourful worlds to explore with freedom to play as you like and a very satisfying experience, then just one more trip to Ubisoft’s Ancient Greece as Fenyx is definitely worth your time!
I'd also like to add that while the game does include microtransactions, everything that you can buy in Immortals Fenyx Rising is purely cosmetic. I also encourage everyone who picks up the game to do the optional content to unlock some of the gorgeous-looking skins for armor and weapons. I didn't think I'd have so much fun playing another Ubisoft title, but here I am trying to 100% all the maps in the game.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising offers a thoroughly entertaining open-world adventure that’s made up of creative puzzles, a wonderful world to explore, and some top-notch combat. Sure, it can be a bit of a slow burner to get going, but when the game finally kicks off? It’ll REALLY pull you in for the long haul. It is guilty of borrowing a lot of ideas from other games (and not necessarily bettering them), and sure, it might not necessarily be the most original of open-world adventures out there. Fortunately, what it lacks in originality it makes up for in charm and fun, with the grand journey that players will embark on to defeat Typhon certainly proving to be a memorable one.
Using their strengths as an open-world games developer, Ubisoft took the risk to take notes from on one of the most acclaimed games in the genre, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, and mixed things up with their own ideas, perfecting some mechanics, flow and enjoyment, while delivering a new IP and an excellent alternative outside the Nintendo Switch.

Going into Immortals: Fenyx Rising, our expectations weren’t that high; we thought we would get an Assassin’s creed game with elements taken from Breath of the Wild. However, this was not the case; the game nicely mixes the characteristics of the titles above, adding a nice dose of humor in the process.

Immortals Fenyx Rising despite having a fun combat system, a wonderful world that desreves exploring, regradless of all that the game is a victim of shallow content, messy storytelling, wavering rhythm in its events, it could have a better game if the game had a deeper RPG system, rewards and treasures with more value rather than being just a decoration.

Immortals Fenyx Rising may not do much to push the open-world action adventure genre forward, but it does still ultimately succeed at being yet another competent release cut from the all too familiar Ubisoft cloth.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is cheerful fun, offering a fresh take on Greek mythology that is cartoonish but with just enough humanity to keep it grounded. While the game plays like a open world epic, every mechanic in Immortals is tied to well-designed puzzles. Though the actions you take become repetitive, the story and writing keep things lively enough to see Immortals Fenyx Rising through to the end.
Immortals Fenyx Rising was forgotten for a while, but returned and proved to be a great highlight in this end of generation and among other major releases. The game ends Ubisoft's year with an attractive storyline and characters with fun personalities, dynamic gameplay full of challenges that guarantee dozens of hours of gaming. The title is a pleasant surprise that relaxes and challenges any type of player.

Despite all these flaws, I still had the urge to return to Immortals. Journeying across a big open world and witnessing Greek legends come to life is enthralling for short bursts of time. That is what kept me intrigued enough to progress through the game: seeing and interacting with the mythological characters I've read about for years. Immortals is bland and frustrating at times, but just interesting enough to be worth a recommendation if you enjoy some light mythology and open world collectathons.
Before I end this review, one very important thing I want to talk about is the game’s very end section. The final section of this game is very, very, incredible. It will force you to remember everything you’ve learned about the game thus far. Every mechanic, every puzzle solved, every enemy encountered. It’s a very fantastic way of closing off a fantastic game. I had an incredible time playing this game, and I can say with confidence that if you enjoy RPGs that put forth exploration and have great campaigns, you will have an incredible time playing this game too.
Much like the characters within the game, Immortals Fenyx Rising has its flaws-but what makes it a bit charming is that it owns them. While it's absolutely a AAA title, I'm beyond thankful it's not another one that sets itself up as bait for Keighley's Game Awards, or feels the need to fiercely defend its validity and depth. Sometimes, a game can just be good, cheesy fun, and Immortals Fenyx Rising is precisely that and better for it.
Immortals Fenyx Rising takes only the basics from Breath of the Wild, and builds a great and inspired title around them. A good combat system, valid puzzles and a good longevity make it a really nice game. With a greater diversity of game elements, the repetitiveness that plagues production wouldn't have been a problem, but those gaps don't stop Immortals Fenyx Rising from being a great video game.

Fans of Breath of the Wild who are patiently waiting for the sequel might find Immortals Fenyx Rising worth a look. It lacks Zelda‘s spirit of invention and creativity, but it is a densely packed open world action game that manages to refine some aspects that Nintendo overlooked.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is an entertaining open-world title with tons of explorative depth, combative choice, and gorgeous visuals. The writing’s urgency to be as funny as possible is a bit of a turn-off, but beyond that, this is a standout adventure. While not a genre revolutionizer, Immortals Fenyx Rising plays to the genre’s strengths and can easily grant players dozens upon dozens of hours of great fun.
However, Immortals does borrow a lot from other games which slightly diminishes its originality and fails to offer a completely new experience. There are a few performance problems, especially with the Switch version. Saying that, Immortals Fenyx Rising is still a great game and a good start for a potential gaming series, with the DLC already looking very promising.
Even though it does little to make it anything but an average game, Immortals Fenyx Rising is one of the most easy going Ubisoft games in quite a while.
Ultimately if Ubisoft can work out the kinks that were to be expected from a first excursion, Immortals has real potential to become another marquee property for the company. Expected DLC will take players to Asia as a brand-new character, which could potentially be an inkling that Ubisoft plans on exploring many other mythologies yet. The biggest challenge that the company will face is finding a way to bring out a distinctive personality on the mechanical side of Immortals, because as it currently stands it most certainly feels like a case of “throwing everything at the dartboard to see what sticks," and Ubisoft is cribbing a lot from games that are already excellent.
I could probably harp on about Immortals for another few thousand words, but I’ll save you the rant. I will, however, leave you with this: Immortals Fenyx Rising is really good. The humour may not be for everyone, but there’s a ton more here than you might expect, and I think it’s worth your time if you’re into open-world action-adventure games. It may not bring much new to the table, but it’s a 30-50 hour journey that I’m super happy I went on – and you should too.
In short, Immortals Fenyx Rising is my game of the year 2020, it has everything that a good game has to have in my world. A setting which is fascinating and beautiful at the same time. The huge world just screams "Explore me, experience me", and I followed this scream with skin and hair. I found myself swinging onto my blue horse and just riding around in the area, simply because I liked the surroundings so much. The urge to explore is satisfied throughout the whole game and leaves nothing to be desired. If you want to do dungeons, no problem. If you want to improve the health bar of Fenyx, well, then you just have to look for it. You can invest more than a hundred hours in the game without getting really bored. The only thing that disturbed me was the funny slapstick humor that is present throughout the game. If you have a preference for Open World titles and can relate to Greek mythology, the title is a must buy. If you want to dive into the genre for the first time, the title is a must buy. If you want to make your dearest (gambling) person happy for the upcoming Christmas, then Immortals Fenyx Rising is a compulsory purchase.
