Immortals Fenyx Rising

A colorful exploration-focused action-adventure that successfully brings wonder and discovery despite generic character designs and weak voice acting. The most enjoyable Ubisoft release of the year with great traversal mechanics.

Overcomplicated puzzle-heavy game marketed as action. Tedious rather than rewarding.

Immortals Fenyx Rising Is The Best Thing Ubisoft Has Put Out In 2020 offers a solid experience worth playing for most players.

Really great game that YongYea highly recommends. Some Ubisoft-formula elements remain but significant experimentation beyond it. Some technical issues dont wane enthusiasm.

Did not live up to expectations, found it boring and repetitive with puzzle overkill. Not recommended despite acknowledging others may enjoy it.

Fun combat and excellent storytelling but undeniably a Breath of the Wild imitation; passable lightning thief to Zelda's lightning in a bottle.

SwitchUp: 74.

Score: 35.

Solid open-world game with phenomenal puzzles and combat. Limited enemy variety and technical issues, but charming mythological world and exploration make it worthwhile.

Surprisingly fun open-world with BotW inspiration; focused 25-30 hour experience less bloated than Ubisoft norm.

Far from perfect but good. Puzzles and combat come together despite borrowing from Zelda. Strong gameplay loop carries it through despite corny storytelling.
