Immortals Fenyx Rising: Myths of the Eastern Realm gives us a fresh protagonist, a completely new setting, familiar mechanics and a few new tricks. With fantastic logic puzzles and the same tight combat as the base game, Myths of the Eastern Realm represents a great new way to experience everything we loved from the original. Let’s hope Ubisoft continues to take risks like this as they seem to pay off in a big way.
Immortals Fenyx Rising: Myths of the Eastern Realm features a new story, protagonist, and world to explore. It works well, even if it feels a little hodgepodge.

Myths of the Eastern Realm has not so many new features by comparison with the main game but I think it isn't bad. New "Myths" are just a DLC so don't expect it to be a full second game. The new Asian setting is pretty nice and reminds of Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon, so I highly recommend combining this DLC with watching the cartoon. The story is shorter and simpler than the main game but is fun enough.
A short emotional adventure! I want a separate game in this style.

As for the features, developers added only two new types of puzzles and changed the combo system. This system is really good so I hope it will make it to the sequel.
The biggest drawback of this DLC are enemies because it is just a reskin. All opponents have the same pattern so you will be using the same tactics that main game.
Myths of the Eastern Realm is not a bad DLC considering how different is the first and third DLC. I think that's a good one for all gamers who liked the scattered content world like in the original game.

The second DLC of Immortals Fenyx Rising is here. We fly to China for a shorter but always successful adventure.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising - Myths of the Eastern Realm marks the return of the game back to the more open-world adventuring as opposed to the instanced puzzle-solving of A New God. However, the DLC does not manage to differentiate itself enough to stand tall. While visually stunning and delving into the rarely touched Chinese mythology, Myths of the Eastern Realm, the expansion feels much more subdued and even a bit unsure at times, especially when it comes to humor.
Immortals Fenyx Rising - Myths of the Eastern Realm’s lack of ambition and inability to distinguish itself from the base game’s adventure is a bit of a letdown, really. Attractive as the Chinese-themed reskin may be, just underneath is combat, exploration, and puzzle solving that is functionally nearly identical to what we’ve already played, and the characters aren’t nearly as much fun. After spending eight or so hours completing the story I have little compulsion to come back and check off all the things I didn’t get to on the map – after all, that stuff wasn’t particularly compelling in Immortals Fenyx Rising, and given that Myths of the Eastern Realm does precious little to change things up, it’s not particularly compelling here either.
With its ancient China setting, Immortals Fenyx Rising: Myths of the Eastern Realm could have expanded the main game's experience in a lot of meaningful ways, but Ubisoft Chengdu preferred to play it safe, presenting an expansion that expands very little. Lacking the good writing and the hilarious characters of the main campaign, not to mention any major gameplay change, this DLC expansion is a worthwhile purchase only for those who haven't had enough of the puzzle-solving seen in Fenyx's adventure. Everyone else will find this adventure in the Eastern Realm a little stale.
Myths of the Eastern Realms does what a lot of expansions do: It condenses a larger, more expansive game into something quicker and more approachable. Being able to explore a new area and solve puzzles at a quicker pace can be fun, but without any strong new hooks, it's too stale to maintain much excitement for long and feels like a wasted opportunity to bring the world of Chinese myth to life.
It takes about 6 - 8 hours if you do all the different kind of puzzles
+ New, fairly big enough world with new eastern setting
+ New puzzles and enemies, on hard difficulty challenging but not unfair
- Dumb checkpoints in dungeons
