Immortals Fenyx Rising wants to be funny, but this story trailer falls a bit flat for us. There’s nothing wrong with the Greek open worlder adopting a more light-hearted vibe, of course, but we’re not a fan of the kids movie humour on display here. Fortunately, we get a good look at the game, including combat and exploration.
How are you feeling about this one a little over a month removed from release? It seems like a bit of a strange project so far, doesn’t it? Feels a bit… All over the place?

Eh.
The characters look like uninspired Fortnite characters, and the enemies look like throwaway Pixar monsters a 5-year old drew. Not a big fan of the look.
This game looks great and mediocre at the same time. That would be an accomplishment, but then I remembered that this was a Ubisoft game.
Also my sense of humor on this website is better than this trailer.
That voice over killed this trailer... It wasn't funny, it was cringy.
Playing it right now. It DEFINITELY is very very Breath of the wild inspired with the usual Ubi trappings. Muted the voice volume after about 5 minutes though lol! Game is pretty fun, nothing to out there or innovative, just a good by the numbers game from what I can tell. Going to spend the rest of the day with it!
That narration is annoying. This game could be good, but the marketing is doing a bad job at selling it to me.
This will be destroyed by Bugsnax
@HotGoomba Kim is, like, my favourite Kardashian, so I know exactly how you feel.
Looks like a game I'd greatly enjoy. The main character looks weird af, though. Not sure what they were going for. As for the narration, I guess they tried...
A 5-minute gameplay video was also released and while it didn't necessarily look bad, it's honestly absurd just how much it's ripping off Breath of the Wild.
I was intrigued with the teaser but then lost interest with the trailer that came after. Not what I was expecting. I guess everyone comparing the teaser to Breath of the Wild will do that to some.
I really like the look of this.it’s not a release day buy as I’ll have cyberpunk and Valhalla to keep me occupied but it’s definitely on my watch list
@redd214 wut?
@Boucho11 don't understand your comment, do you have a question about something...?
@redd214 what do you mean you’re playing it?
@Boucho11 ohh gotcha! There is free demo that was released today on Stadia. I know Stadia is not everyone's cup of tea but it works flawlessly for me, if someone didn't know better there's no way they could tell in was cloud based from just watching. If you're willing to give it a go on Stadia (and its available wherever you live) you don't need a subscription or anything like that, just a gmail account

@redd214 I guess “wut” isn’t the greatest question! 😂
Thanks for the info
@Boucho11 LOL no worries, happy to help!
@Xiovanni You pick the gender of the character at character creation, they can be male or female
I am really looking forward to this. Will pick up on my Series X. Definitely the type of game I won't put the effort to get off the couch to put into a system but if it's loaded I will play it as a pallet cleanser to heavier games like Cyberpunk & Valhalla.
Most anticipated game of the year, I didn't like BoTW, the transversal was stellar except for the dumb rain making climbing extremely annoying but the story was nonexistent, the enemy variety was awful, and the exploration was pointless, and dungeons generic, this game seems to solve all or most of those problems.
Wow that looks fantastic. Can’t wait for this one.
I believe I will give it a chance one day. I liked what I have seen so far, but something holds me back from purchasing on day one.
I was truly impressed by this trailer! Still going to wait for the game to drop down to ~$20 though, my PS4 backlog must be conquered first.
@Subsided are you serious with this comment? You didn’t like breath of the wild and you are excited for this ripoff?
@eshtebala I liked the concept of BOTW but execution was terrible, I'm excited for this innovation of a formula that Nintendo failed to do justice to
@Subsided I don’t see the innovation in this game. It’s generic starting from the title to the character designs to the combat to the story and even the world doesn’t feel quite big
@eshtebala title isn't generic anymore lol, and there's nothing more generic then Link at this point, Zelda never even had a story, and it's combat was incredibly basic
I really liked the look of this but I can't stand the narration, trying way too hard to be funny, doesn't work for me!
@Subsided I think you got everything backwards.😅 the title was better when it was gods and monsters.
@eshtebala it was better but more generic, this is to weird now to call generic
