Current Events > I've been playing Fenyx Immortals Rising the past few days

(+) Yeah! (+)

It is pretty fun, same old Ubisoft format but the world is a lot more condensed, helps the game greatly.

Fuck you guys

literally no one has played that game. scientists should study you

Ive been tempted to buy it a couple times, but hearing it is more puzzles than exploring and combat kinda turned me off

Immortals Fenyx Rising?

I heard it's a pretty decent "one of those." It's been on the low/medium priority playlist. I just downloaded it with Game Pass yesterday and will hopefully jump in this week. I liked the Super Bunnyhop review of it

I played it a while back. It got some hate for the writing, but the jokes got some chuckles out of me. Not a bad game at all.

Played a little on Game Pass. It is fun.

have it downloaded, just havent checked it out yet.

This. Seems fun enough, but oddly...low budget I guess?

There is definitely more emphasis on the puzzles, wish they put more into the actual combat because it's pretty fun. The jokes though need to be toned down for this game though. It goes from pretty funny to really annoying really fast.

I quite liked it. Two of the three DLCs are shit though.

There is way more combat and exploration than puzzles.

One of these things is not like the other.

#11 & #12 confuse me

Yeah I remember hearing some hate for the wacky commentary as well but that's just how Greek gods were lol

I really enjoyed it at first. And then I burned out really hard and fast. Probably because I'm not big on the Ubisoft formula. Maybe I'll finish it one day.

As someone whose only Ubisoft game was Zombi U, what is the Ubisoft formula?

They all seem like they use the same checklist when they're made. Repetitive missions, some sort of RPG-lite upgrade mechanic, often oversized open worlds and usually towers or something similar to climb and expose more points of interest. Like someone above mentioned, this map at least feels more condensed so that helps a little.

I started it because I'm friends with one of the VAs, but it kinda sucked... the gameplay feels unpolished and I dislike a lot of the things they put in (even ignoring the typical Ubisoft crap like microtransactions)

That is exactly where I had it, had it on my PlayStation wish list but didn't pick it up even when it went on sale for 20 bucks because they were so many wishy washy reviews. I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far but it may be due to the fact that I haven't played a Ubisoft game in a couple years

I liked it better than breath of the wild, a game it was clearly trying to emulate

That's not surprising being as breath of the wild is wildly overrated
