Immortals Fenyx Rising Review

Reviewed by Cam Shea on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation 4/5, PC, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia.

"Immortals Fenyx Rising gives us a gorgeous world to explore, filled with mythological beasts, deities, and powers to wield. Its combat is satisfying, with plenty of choice in upgrades, while its central characters, comedy, and storytelling are a real highlight. Seeing Fenyx's saga through to the end, with amusing commentary from Zeus, Prometheus, and other gods along the way, is a treat. Its Achilles Heel, though, is that so much of the puzzle gameplay feels like going through the motions instead of clever challenges. In the end, I wish Immortals Fenyx Rising had tried to soar just a little higher on the wings of ambition."

The ONE irritating thing about this game is the faces. everyone has the same face. then i saw the lead designer of the game. she has the same face too!!! She clearly loves her face.

Its gonna be weird helping these gods instead of slaughtering them. You said Hermes and I clenched my fists

Just got this on game pass. It's absolutely fantastic - one of those games where you sit down to play at 7pm and the next time you check your clock it's somehow midnight. Highly recommended

People here acting like a 7/10 score is literally unplayable...

This game is just full of the exaggerated swagger of a greek teen.

This goes into the "I can't wait to buy this when it goes on sale" category. It looks awesome but with Cyberpunk coming out less than 2 weeks after this game among other new releases I think this will silently fade into obscurity. With that said, it still looks fun and I'll buy it when it's like $20 to $30.

Update: this comment did not age well.

These days I am not sure whether 7/10 is a hit or a myth.

IGN Summary: I love this game but not really.

The story for this game was actually considered for AC: Odessey.

Honestly, I absolutely love this game. The development, how it’s basically a free style to how you want to progress - all of it. It’s amazing. Though the puzzles can be a bit tiresome and long, the rest makes up for it!

I understand his gripe with this game but let's not act like BOTW didn't have the same types of short comings. You fought the same 6 enemy types everywhere I went. The shrines puzzles never felt challenging either and the combat in BOTW is much more simplistic than here. I loved BOTW I 100% that game. But let's be honest here.

I’m actually really enjoying this game, it’s actually pretty polished and fun to play, And I haven’t seen any bugs or glitches

I hate when games are criticized for being “gamey”. If I have to choose between fun (but mythos breaking) puzzles, I’ll always go with fun

[gefilte]

Final verdict: buy the game when on sale.

[anthonyvanderkroft]

For some reason, I really want to play this game. The style and humor look great

[HEARD]

That was the strongest 7 I've ever seen.

[RestlessRizz]

Zelda and assassin's creed finally had a baby. This game is flawless, and creative in everyway. That's coming from someone who majority plays multiplayer games. This game actually drives me to play it.

[PotatoJonson]

Wait, IGN gives it 7 but ACG said it was Great!? The world has officially gone crazy.

[rainbowthrustars]

By far one of the best game Ubisoft have cranked out in recent yrs and one of the better games out there right now.
it plays wonderfully, looks gorgeous and has a ton of smart puzzles to take on and combat system is satisfying.

This review seems like the guy only played the game for a couple hours, the combat gets harder and the puzzles get more elaborate as the game goes on, definitely recommend.
