![]() ![]() Immortals Fenyx Rising has them, but without so many options. It exists somewhere in the middle of Odyssey and Breath of the Wild, trying to blend the best of both. Turns out the title makes more sense in context, since you and I will play as the titular Fenyx, the lowly mortal savior who battles through the supernatural onslaught of ancient Greece.Īnd that brings us to the rest of the game, which I have little choice but to describe as exactly the kind of game you get when the people at Ubisoft Quebec who created the exquisite Assassin’s Creed Odyssey make a new game also set in ancient Greece but now less realistic and instead heavily inspired by The Legend Zelda - and not just Breath of the Wild. And if that title was indicative of the rumored change in direction, then what did that say about the rest of the game? It’s not as good as Gods & Monsters, right? As my friend and colleague Russ Frushtick said, it sounds like a free-to-play mobile game. And then, last week, for the better part of three hours, I wrapped my hands around a controller and played Immortals Fenyx Rising.įirst up, a dollop of Midwestern apology for what could sound like snark: The first time I heard the name Immortals Fenyx Rising, I thought it was a joke.

It was a highlight of E3 2019 (a before times public gathering of thousands - imagine that!), during which Ubisoft surprise premiered a trailer for a game that looked like its take on Breath of the Wild.

Altars are key in the DLC it is where you can save your progression, upgrade Ash, fast travel, and more. Ash needs to find altars to offer the gods valuable resources in exchange for assistance.

Instead, your progression is centered around altars to provide offerings to the gods, so that you can get help and gifts, such as upgrading your powers, saving progression or getting temporary but powerful blessings. There is no Hall of the Gods or singular hub in the DLC. Since we wanted to keep the look and feel of the main game, it was an exciting challenge.

The island broke into pieces as Poseidon raised it from the sea, and each of the wayward gods picked a piece to rule over. Pyrite Island was created by Poseidon without any offering made to balance its formation.
