Immortals Fenyx Rising Reviews
In the end, Immortals Fenyx Rising has a generic name applied to a familiar experience. It also happens to sport some derivative design choices. Nevertheless, thanks to its unique style, addicting exploration and enjoyable gameplay, it's an easy game to recommend to everyone. There are some clunky moments and the humor often fumbles more than it lands, but its charm rises above those pitfalls. For those looking for a grand adventure, this is an odyssey worth embarking on.
After playing all the big open world releases at the end of 2020 I found Immortals to be the best of the bunch. It is by far their most successful balancing of story, combat, and exploration in quite some time. Never once did I feel that a cutscene was too long and the exploration is consistently rewarding. My only question for Ubisoft is, why did you send this incredible title seemingly out to die?
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.

The different individual ingredients manage to create a fresh mix that we had not seen for a long time, especially from Ubisoft.

It is obvious the love and care that Ubisoft Quebec put forth into crafting this game as it is full of delight.
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 is an enjoyable and fun adventure, with a classic open-world gameplay structure in a fascinating and humourous setting. We would have liked more enemy variety, but even so, it's definitely a game to take in consideration.

Ubisoft Quebec has created an incredibly fun (and funny) open world experience for the realm of the Grecian gods. It has its own combat style, narrative style, dungeon-crawling style, and, yes, art style. And it’s delightful.
Overall, Immortals Fenyx Rising lives up to the hype and delivers an immersive and wholesome experience filled with countless hours of gameplay. The game feels like a fusion of Breath of the Wind and Assassin’s Creed, which is a fine pedigree in my book. The distinctive and vibrant Golden Isle is captivating to explore, and the edgy twist to Greek mythology gives it even more flavor. With well-balanced gameplay that appeals to all skill levels, players are allowed to carve out their own unique journey as they save the gods. So rise, players. Rise!
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!
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.
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.
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.

With Immortals Fenyx Rising Ubisoft had created something that even with its flaws offers more than most AAA games. If it wasn't for sometimes simpler game design, this could have been one of the best games from this studio.

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.

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.

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.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is definitively the best Ubisoft game released in 2020. Blending of the Ubi sandbox formula with elements from Breaths of the Wild creates something greater than sum of it parts. The story and characters are charming and funny, gameplay is engaging and not stale thanks to some smart puzzles and cool platforming sections. Overall it is a step in the right direction for the Ubisoft games and I hope decisions made here will be carried forward to improve other sandbox titles from the publisher.

Whether it's the underground puzzle dungeons, constant stamina management or dizzying climbing passages - Ubisoft Quebec took many inspirations from "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild". But, viewed as a whole "Immortals: Fenyx Rising" still manages to do it's own thing. The extremely agile Fenyx is a loveable protagonist right from the start and also the narrator duo provides a lot of fun. The same goes for the many challenging fights. If you liked "Breath of Wild" or if you want to experience something similar on other systems, you will quickly fall in love with this new IP.
