Review | Immortals Fenyx Rising

Story

The story takes place in a world inspired by Greek mythology. After the monster Typhon escapes from his prison, he seeks revenge against Zeus and the Olympian gods. He turns humans into stone and imprisons the gods. You, as Fenyx, must save the world by rescuing the gods and restoring balance. The narrative is lighthearted, with humorous storytelling by Prometheus and Zeus, adding charm and fun to the experience.

Gameplay

You start by customizing your character’s appearance, choosing between male or female (no impact on the story). There are no distinct RPG classes, but you can upgrade abilities and gear at the main hub. After two hours, the open world unlocks, letting you explore and choose your path. Weapons include swords, axes, and bows, each assigned to a unique button. The combat system features both weapons and godly powers like Ares’ Wrath and Hephaestus’ Hammer. Puzzles are integral to the game, with varying difficulty levels that add to the experience. Overall, the gameplay is addictive and blends elements of Zelda and Assassin’s Creed.

Graphics & World

The game world is visually stunning, featuring vibrant, cartoon-style graphics. The map is divided into seven unique regions, each with distinct terrains, enemies, and quests. However, the enemy AI is predictable, making boss fights manageable once you learn their patterns. Players can choose between 4K visuals or 60 FPS performance for smooth gameplay.

Summary

Immortals Fenyx Rising is a pleasant surprise and one of the standout games of the year. While it lacks variety in weapons and abilities, it offers an engaging story, exciting gameplay, and a beautiful world worth exploring.
