    Slightly more platformer than RPG. Especially the vaults.
    Played 77 hours and got the platinum trophy so i had to revise my review a little bit. The open world of this game is mostly fun and was addicting for me; to level up my gear, skills and powers. I found the vaults of tartaros or 'rifts', very frustrating. There are probably about 50 of these vaults in the game and some are    Slightly more platformer than RPG. Especially the vaults.
    Played 77 hours and got the platinum trophy so i had to revise my review a little bit. The open world of this game is mostly fun and was addicting for me; to level up my gear, skills and powers. I found the vaults of tartaros or 'rifts', very frustrating. There are probably about 50 of these vaults in the game and some are required to progress the story. Though frustrating, I ended up finishing more than the 25 vaults required for a trophy.
    It is worth mentioning the fact that the longer I played, the more likely that something in game would not render correctly, removing a vital piece (usually a structure) that I needed to advance.
    Unclog the waterwheels is the mission where I noticed this happening repeatedly. I had to save exit and restart my game in order for the clogged water wheels to be there.
    Another mission required me to ignite 4 furnaces, game had only rendered one in there for me. Needless to say I wandered around a lot trying to find things that were not even there, yet! Lame
    I would like more than 20 manual save slots and
    I would like for run to be L3, why does L3 do nothing?    … Expand

    Coming straight out of Assassins Creed Valhalla, a game that for me felt so dull and pointless, except for the ending of the modern day story, I was not looking forward to jumping back in another Ubisoft game. I thought, "Here we go again." And, in some ways, I did catch myself thinking, "Oh, this looks familiar, this looks re-skinned." A lot of it looked and felt familiar, but not similarComing straight out of Assassins Creed Valhalla, a game that for me felt so dull and pointless, except for the ending of the modern day story, I was not looking forward to jumping back in another Ubisoft game. I thought, "Here we go again." And, in some ways, I did catch myself thinking, "Oh, this looks familiar, this looks re-skinned." A lot of it looked and felt familiar, but not similar to other Ubisoft games, however, to one Nintendo game that I do not even need to name. We all know it, as it was one of the greatest games of all time. Immortals: Fenyx Rising might be a rip off. It might blatantly take so many design choices and game play features from a certain Nintendo game. But... you know what? Personally, I don't care. I rather enjoyed this game!

    What I really loved about this game is the pacing of everything. Again, coming out of Valhalla I could immediately feel the difference in pacing. I am referring to story, exploration and of course, loot! The game play and activities are fun, no doubt, but the overall plain fun and charm that Fenyx Rising has is what holds this game far above ValHalla, which I also gave a 7 out of 10.

    So you may be wondering. How can Fenyx Rising and Valhalla get the same overall score but one be far better than the other? Well, it all depends on how you personally rate a game. One important factor is what the game intended on setting out and accomplishing. Did it accomplish that? Fenyx Rising certainly accomplished what I think the developers at Ubisoft wanted this game to be. While Valhalla, on the other hand, did not accomplish those things.

    If you loved Zelda Breath of the Wild, OOPS, I finally said it... if you loved BOTW, and you like playing other games that borrow heavily from it, then you are in for a fun ride here. If you despise games that rob BOTW of what makes it so astonishing, then do yourself a favor and stay away from this game.    … Expand

    It's finally published. The name has only been changed and development time has been added.
    The end product is only mediocre. Why? Do you know Genshin Impact? The game reminds me of that so strongly.
    Had it come a year earlier, the surprise effect would have been much higher.
    Now all you have is a nice game at an overpriced price.
    It's only worth € 30-40 for me.

    A great game with a lot of wasted potential.

    First of all, the game could be so good. The graphics look great, the storytelling is on point, activities feel rewarding. BUT: The game feels like a technical desaster. For me it crashes almost every 20 Minutes (on PS4) and is filled to the brim with bugs. Some of these bugs - like the fact that i cant move pieces in a sliding puzzle,    A great game with a lot of wasted potential.

For me it crashes almost every 20 Minutes (on PS4) and is filled to the brim with bugs. Some of these bugs - like the fact that i cant move pieces in a sliding puzzle, because my character cant step over the border of said puzzle - could have been found by just testing the game. Others - like when i jump down a cliff mid combat and climb it up again, that after this all enemies no matter where i stand run to the bottom of the cliff - are just weird. Last bug gets more and more frustrating when legendary animals just run out of their arena over and over. I could tell of a ton more bugs, but why spoil the fun of a unintentional bug hunt? Lastly the controls: In the beginning i liked how "precisely" I could control Fenyx - even flying. But later I had to notice, that some puzzles require really precise flying, waiting in upstreams to gain hight or plain waiting in front of an obstacle to move around, which is almost impossible with the controlls.

    After playing some more, I consider the fighting in the game just plain bad. Enemies dont really get more challenging the further you get into the game, they just become bigger and bigger damage-sponges. That's how not to do combat and balancing. Dissappointing, mostly because the fighting seemed pretty good during the first few hours.

    Over all the game could have been so great, and indeed in a weird way it is, but the bugs totally destroy the game for me and leave my behind in a weird state of total dissappointment over a game i hyped a lot and still some fun while playing. In the current state - until many bugs get fixed - the game is nothing but mediocre.    … Expand

    Not to be confused ith the energy drink.. this is a video game… a video game that gets constant comparrisons to the liked of Zelda breath of the wild.. a game I’ve yet to play.. and I game I hope clicks with me more than this one…
    Zeus needs help, the greek gods are in trouble, all of the mortals are stone.. except for one of course.. you… you creae your character and its off to helping zeus and the rest of the gods in this open world puzzle game… and if there weren’t such a large emphises on the puzzle part, this game as series has such great potential… for starters this world is beautiful, though there are crashing issues is you play in pretty mode vs the run better mode on the playstations 5… here youll be running around, collecting items to craft consumables, find gear, and collect shards to upgrade your gear and character, run around and complete tasks for the different gods and gain new abilities.. if it stopped there I would be fine, run around this opwen world with sections that feel and look different enough reperesenting each god you help… all while the game hilariously narrates for you… a real highlight… I could’ve loved immortals fenyx.. but its insistence to try and be a breath of a wild clones, sucked away all of its charm and left immortals fenyx risings feeling like a good.. yet soulless game… its cookie cutter, and what were left with if unfun combat, and boring drug out puzzles.. the vaults are half of the game and theyre just awful.. they have their moments of being fun brain teasesers… but these puzzles show up way too frequently in your 13 plus hour journey… and I dreaded them every time.. im not a big fan of puzzles in general… but when theres essentially puzzle rooms vs environmental puzzles, I hate it even more… just let me build up my charcters, sneak around, tame and kill things while my boy zeus makes awful jokes.. that’s all I wanna do… but fenyx rising sortve blows its load for me.. if you’ve played journey to the savage planet.. it’s the same kind of thing… youre smacked with charm, mystery and immersion.. and then everything else feels lackluster in ocmparision to the greatness the adventure starts with…
    While I can appreciate that this is objectively a good game that plenty will love… for me this was a game that kept throwing school work at me when all I wanted to do was play at recess… and once I get out to recess its like oh, its raining.. youre playing in the gym today, not the playground like youre used to doing.. meaning that this world is just a chore to even get around in.. the whole stamina whil you run, climb, swim, and soar thing can be fun if done right.. its not done right here.. its annoying and just makes traversal not fun.. . but I am again just speaking for myself.. for me the combat gt stale fast, the traversal becomes annoying fast, and the puzzles get annoying boring and overwhelming fast… what am I doing playing this?
    for a lot of people though theyre hearing this review being all like. Yeha this is what I want, imam buy this right now.. I get it.. tis a good game, just not for me.

    Nice world design and nice puzzle quests. Other than that, the attempt at humor is awful, I didn't even smirk once. You get used to it 2 hours in and somewhat enjoy the game. The final boss fight is awfully designed. Overall it's a 5. The game is aimed towards teenagers, there are no mature topics and the gameplay is... what you would expect from a game rated T.

    Loved this game. possibly the best rpg to be released in the last couple years. I've put in 115 hours plus and still haven't done the dlc's. id give it a higher score but the over reliance on the double jump glide that doesn't always work led to much frustration.

    It's a bright, colourful, open world, action adventure game with Assassins Crees gameplay yet none of the story. It's Greek mythology with humour, wit and a little wisdom weaved in. I was laughing out loud at some of the dialogue but sometimes it is a bit much, especially when the jokes just keep going and going. Everyone is comparing it to Zelda but at least Ubisoft changes the story toIt's a bright, colourful, open world, action adventure game with Assassins Crees gameplay yet none of the story.

You might not complete everything the game has to offer but you'll enjoy your time till the end battle.… Expand

    This game is beautiful, and the characters have such excellent dialogue with lots of comedy. That being said the world you explore feels a little empty and a lot of the ‘puzzles’ get repetitive and fast. On top of that this version I was playing on my PS4 kept crashing at random moments. Not as good as I was expecting.

    An incredibly bland and lifeless Breath of The Wild clone. It's functional, and plays much like BoTW, so it isn't bad, but it feels so dispassionate and without heart.

    There is absolutely no point in playing this game when Breath of The Wild exists. Like, none.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising is one of the best adventures of the year, with one of the most beautiful and spectacular open worlds of the last decade, earning a place on the podium of the genre. The exploration is organic, the map is packed with activities to do, the skill tree is vast and truly useful, and the combat is some of the best I've seen in the genre.

    It’s hard to know which is more impressive here, the complete lack of shame in how much Ubisoft copies Zelda: Breath Of The Wild or the fact that Immortals suffers the comparison so impressively well.
