![]() ![]() 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. 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. It’s Lego Ninjago movie, B-level material. So many jokes don’t land, including a really clunky moment like an early “it’s over, go home!” credit roll goof. All of the banter is a bit too much when you want to get on with it and enjoy the open world, and I found myself eventually just tuning most of it out altogether. The narrative framework of having each side explain or take back certain details can frankly get exhausting. Your job is to take down a big monster named Typhon while fighting a ton of other monsters and warriors, donning gear from the gods along the way. Being the pawn of the gods is a neat popular-media device dating back to Clash of the Titans, and although it is unique here, the execution of how it’s told is a bit lacking. Immortals Fenyx Rising (PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X)įenyx Rising is quite literally the story of Greek gods and mythological monsters (the name it should have stuck with).Īn arrogant and boisterous Zeus and a prideful Prometheus hash out a wager in the form of an unreliable narration scheme, with the brave warrior Fenyx (that’s you) caught in the middle. It exists in a purgatorial state of sorts albeit clawing its way up to the heavens. Immortals Fenyx Rising (the artist formerly known as Gods & Monsters) doesn’t really make a strong case for either position. For others, it’s a proverbial crown that needs to be overthrown. For some of you, it has a divine right to rule. Ubisoft is sometimes referred to as the king of open world games. ‘Cause we could be immortals, just not for long
