Immortals Fenyx Rising

Although i really enjoyed this one for the most part i loved the music, the graphics and design and especially the Godly banter. Unfortunately the ending killed it for me it felt too forced and dragged on to the point i lost all interest and motivation to keep playing

This is the most incredible game I've ever seen. It's so interesting, you lose track of the time when you play it. I love it

Fun and interactive with a deep adventure in the Greek legends world , One of the best Ubisoft games .

When I first caught a glimpse of Immortals through trailers, I didn't give it much thought. Ubisoft's recent focus on live-service games had turned me off their titles. However, after seeing some positive reviews and catching it on sale, I decided to take the plunge. To my surprise, this game might just be Ubisoft's best offering since 2013.

Drawing some inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Immortals feels like a more accessible version of that epic. While it may not reach the same heights of technical prowess, it delivers an enjoyable experience, akin to discount caviar-perhaps not the top-tier but still a treat. You step into the shoes of Fenyx, exploring a beautifully cartoonish Greek island divided into four distinct regions. Your mission is to free various captured Greek gods by tackling quests, puzzles, and monsters along the way.

Despite its whimsical appearance, this game can be surprisingly challenging. The combat consists of melee and bow-and-arrow mechanics, offering plenty of opportunities to engage with tough enemies or face hordes of mythological creatures. You'll find yourself dying quite a bit, particularly when taking on aerial foes. The puzzles are varied, from fitting the right stones into their slots to solving intricate environmental challenges. Plus, there are numerous hidden caves and portals that offer more puzzles, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging. It's a classic Ubisoft endeavor, complete with plenty of collectibles and side activities.

Visually, the game's bright and vibrant graphics shine, creating gorgeous vistas that are a treat for the eyes. The soothing ambiance enhances the experience, especially when you're gliding through the landscape in search of hidden treasures. Although the main story is somewhat underwhelming, the gameplay itself keeps you hooked for hours. I found myself invested in upgrading Fenyx's abilities, participating in various side quests, and enjoying the exploration-despite the occasional grind.

One downside, however, is the humor. It feels forced at times, like a desperate attempt to be funny that misses the mark completely. This often detracted from the overall experience, making me wish they had focused more on solid storytelling than trying to add comic relief.

With around 60 hours of gameplay under my belt and still more to tackle, I can confidently say there's a lot to explore. For fans of Zelda-style games, Immortals Fenyx Rising offers a satisfying adventure without the live service grind.

In conclusion, if you were hesitant about Ubisoft's direction, Immortals Fenyx Rising is a breath of fresh air. While it has its flaws, it's a delightful experience that stands out among its peers.

**8/10**

The game offers nothing graphically, but it has an incredibly bad optimization. I don't understand what kind of system requirements they're expecting for graphics that look like mud. Immortals Fenyx Rising also reminded me of how much I hate puzzles in games. There's always a bit of puzzles and riddles in these kinds of games, but they're not much of a problem when they're just rare side content. The player should be able to choose whether or not to interact with this content, but when you make it a core gameplay mechanic, the whole game becomes a chore. I decided to play the game because the genre is categorized as Action, Adventure, RPG, not because I wanted to solve ridiculous puzzles every minute. Finally, Zeus and Prometheus, the narrator characters in the game, blabber too much. Their constant attempts to be funny make their dialog even more mediocre.
