I’d definitely be interested in a true current-gen sequel with a clear vision that shores up some of its bigger issues. It might be sloppy sometimes, even in regards to the conversation of open world adventures, but it offers up a lot of fast-paced arcade fun. I was skeptical of Immortals Fenyx Rising after trying the demo, but it comes together with more context. On PS5, it does look mostly okay (the draw distances and far-off details can look hazy), and the performance mode toggle allows for a stable framerate: so it’s nothing you can’t shake off. The lengths that Fenyx was reworked, beyond the name change, are very clear. Part of my problem is the enemy design, which ranges from interesting takes on Greek myth classics to Saturday morning cartoon side characters. It can look great at times and utterly bland in the same breath. It’s a good, tempered degree of freedom as the world is big enough to feel full and worth exploring but small enough to warrant constantly flying around instead of using fast-travel points.īut back to the constant rollercoaster that is this game: I don’t know if I’ve seen an odder aesthetic from a AAA release this year. Double jumping constantly with stubby wings and gliding around the open world is also pretty fun, and beats hoofing it constantly. Fenyx is granted access to several melee and ranged options pretty quickly, presenting players with a decent amount of style and variety to go their own way. The more you play it, the more you appreciate it. The quick dodge and lock-on system work well together, on top of a climbing system (and more than a few other mechanics) that emulates Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Fenyx Rising is a sort of amalgamation of a ton of other Ubisoft games, borrowing some of the more arcadey bits and rolling it into one cartoony ball. But the gameplay, and the very simplistic flow of it all, won me over. Just give us more of the same or if you're feeling brave and want to change things: don't hire people stupid enough to think those mechanics are any good.I felt this sense of narrative fatigue with the demo a few weeks back, and that same feeling washed over me in the retail build. The funnies thing is that this DLC would be a 10/10 by one simple change: remove all the changes you did, make Fenyx the main character, done. In many battles, camera is an enemy more difficult than most bosses. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in December 2020 to favorable reviews. When you die, you go back to the last save you made.Ĭombat is often extremely annoying. Immortals Fenyx Rising is an action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. There was no path to take so that I'm not flooded with golden bar enemies, yet my skillset was barely enough to take them. Best Sellers Rank: 1,890 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games) 252 in Nintendo Switch Games. Zero information on why I can't unlock it, the button was simply greyed out.Įnemy level spired up way too soon in my opinion. Product dimensions : 1 x 10.5 x 17 cm 50 Grams. In one case it turns out that there's a punchline made during the unlocking so the thing was locked until the required events took place. Some things are locked with zero explanation. At least you'll find many on the way but if by some bad luck you run out, you'll have to search for one before you can save your game. If you enjoy playing your switch in handheld, please don’t pass on this game (especially now when it’s on sale at 30). It’s up there with BOTW, Hyrule Warriors, Hades, Astral Chain, Fire Emblem, and Switcher 3. You have to save manually at an altar and you have to pay a fig to do that. Immortals Fenyx Rising is a blast to play on Switch especially handheld. On the Switch version, the grass is straw. The dynamic lighting turns the grass atop the statue Fenyx stands upon a fiery reddish orange. Wanna know why it never cought up? Because it's a stupid idea. The draw distance on the Xbox Series X is much further. Remember when only saving your game manually was a thing? Me neither. No more stun bars so your weapons now boil down to slightly faster and slightly slower. This item will be sent to your system automatically after purchase. Isometric camera does not allow looking up. Cons: every change those idiots made is for the worst.
