8.0
It may falter slightly in the final stretch by wrestling away player freedom and funnelling you through its overly long endgame, but this is still a hugely entertaining, technically impressive Ancient Greek romp that's well worth experiencing.

Critic reviews
- The Lost Gods is the best expansion released by Ubisoft for Immortals: Fenyx Rising. It features the same type of dad joke humor prevalent in the main game and A New God while utilizing the open-world and the addition of new characters and locations that set the Myths of Eastern Realm apart from the rest of the game. There are certain problems and shortcomings, but altogether the DLC provides a lot of fun.
- 8.0Immortals Fenyx Rising was a game that I wanted to play to finish and put to the side, but it’s one that has stuck with me a lot longer than I thought it would, and given me one of my favourite Ubisoft open worlds in memory. If you can look beyond a lack of originality in some of its formula and some rigid puzzles, you’ll find a beautiful world that’s well worth exploring.
- 9.2It is funny, a blast to play, beautiful, and has some of the best music in any video game. I do not understand why Ubisoft released it with so little fanfare and sandwiched it in between so many gigantic releases.
- The story has found new ways to observe familiar stories, even though you’ve spent 100 hours playing Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey and then another 50 playing Hades. A few thousand years later, and it turns out Greek mythology still isn’t played out. And thanks to Ubisoft, neither are open worlds.
- 8.8Immortals Fenyx Rising is an enjoyable family-friendly alternative to Assassin’s Creed. The story is enjoyable and if you know a bit about Greek mythology it’s pleasant to see they took the flaws and cruel sides of the Gods rather than glorifying them.

The Beautiful Game That Wants You to Win, but Loves Vaults of Tartarus More Than You
Campaign: The game overdoes it with jokes, but the dialogue is more natural than what the industry offers these days. There's periods of time when character interactions go on for too long, though. Characters feel like characters in this game, and its nice. Story will immerse you somehow, no issues here. Use of humor is appreciated. The BIGGEST problem with the game is the over reliance on VAULTS OF TARTARUS. Its just puzzles but when they have you using spheres on conveyer belts, the process is SO SLOW and it really breaks up the flow of your gameplay if you had just been kicking ass. This is also how you upgrade your stamina, so you have to do a lot. In my opinion, tying these together with stamina building was a mistake. It just gets old having to do so many of these vaults and then to consider theres an entire dlc on just this face of the overall gameplay--yuck. Gameplay: Gameplay is not as complex as it appears as first. Once you understand counters and when and how to use special attacks, the game feels a lot like a modern day action RPG, something akin to Tales of Arise, Trials of Mana, or Darksiders. There is a slight floatiness to the combat but not as noticeable as Kingdom Hearts 3 and still less than Kindom Hearts 2, but faster than Nier Automata. Looks very very flashy too. Wish there was more diversity in music since its the same song over and over again. Obviously copycat of Zelda. Traveling and exploration is also fun but I wish Fenyx had snappier movement. The cartoon artstyle seems to make avatar feel slower than they could be. Presentation: Beautiful, gorgeous game. Easily comparable to Odyssey or Origins in complexity of its architecture of the time. If one bought this game just for the graphics and art, I understand. Music is great and definitely fits. Never took me out of it. Replay Value: Its an adventure game, it really depends on if you want to min-max or do it all again to justify replaying it. The adventure itself is a lot of game and you can really go autopilot on the game. If you want to experience absolutely every function of the game's code though, I recommend playing the game on hard starting out. Some battles do turn into battles of attrition and it can feels dark souls light, but not really. OVERALL: The game is high frequency dopamine if you want it to be or a light puzzler with some flashy combat and funny characters in a big world if you immerse yourself. It's plenty of game for what they're charging you and you can feel the love. Deserves a sequel so much.
A great title to have in your switch collection
Honestly, this was a game I had high expectations for since its announcement during Nintendo direct in 2020, and it didn't disappoint. The game itself can easily be 30+/ 60+ hrs (for completionist) and the DLC are great added bonus. Easily a great title to recommend to those who have yet to experience BOTW and a great entry game for a new switch owner.
When mom says we have BOTW at home this is the game
The best way I can put this game is it's more BOTW. It is the whole reason I bought it and if you loved BOTW I bet you will have fun with this one. Though it may be similar it seems to lack that full sense of expression and freedom that BOTW does so well. The puzzles can't be solved with clever solutions or breaking game rules, they all have a clear cut method and solution to all of them. The only thing I would say this game does better than BOTW is in its combat. The combat here feels more diverse with lots of combos to do and different weapons to quikly switch to on the fly. Fighitng in this game feels closer to DMC for me in a good way. So if you finished BOTW and want just a bit more of that exploration and adventure this game can keep you busy while you wait for Tears of the Kindom to come out.
Immortals: Fenyx Rising
Altough there is no doubt that this game is inspired by zelda breath of the wild this is one of the best games I've played in a long time. Immortals is al about greek mythology you'll meet alot af greek gods with al there own personality and interactions. Each god wil give you a Special power and some extra side quests. This game has a beatifull open world to discover with enough hidden treasures and unlockables to keep you play long after finishing the story
Just started and so far lobe it. I will update once I get more than a few hours into it
Immortald: Fenyx Rising Review
This game is incredible. In my opinion Ubisoft is one of the best gaming companies when it comes to historical games, Fenyx Rising only furthers this. I would say this game is similar to Breath of the Wild ( I have a review for that too, check my account ), but if it was set in an ancient Grecian style world. In this game, you play as a fully customizable character, with the mission of saving your sibling who has been turned to stone, but it evolves into so much more. The graphics are beautiful, and truly stretch the Nintendo Switch to it's limits. Every location in the game has had hours of development, and everywhere is so diverse and gives off great vibes. The gameplay itself is amazing. While there is an expected learning curve, the combat, exploration and puzzles are engaging and creative, and are very rewarding. The dungeons are a very notable mention. Absolutely amazing. The main ones are so creative and fun to playz and even the smaller ones feel satisfying to completed and it all benefits you character. The game is so rich in content in both the overworld and underworld that you can spend 20 minutes playing and still feel like you accomplished something. Overall, amazing game. For the price it is definetly worth it. Another great game by Ubisoft. Hope this was helpful!
