Fenyx Rising has a certain joy to it that’s not too common in most games of this ilk. But even with that fondness, I don’t think I’d ever describe the games as fun in the same way that Immortals: Fenyx Rising is. I may not like all the games in both series, but I’ve liked them enough to say I’m a fan. You’ll spend a lot of time in Fenyx Rising parkouring up the side of cliffs and buildings, searching all over the place for hidden loot and secrets.īut even with those similarities, Immortals: Fenyx Rising still feels like its own game for one simple reason: it’s fun, and it doesn’t try to hide it.ĭon’t get me wrong, I’m fond of both the God of War and Assassin’s Creed franchises. The two games - Fenyx Rising and Odyssey - are both by Ubisoft Quebec, and you can see how one influenced the other. The setting also accounts for part of the reason why I got an Assassin’s Creed vibe from Immortals: Fenyx Rising - one penultimate game in the AC series, Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey, was also set in Ancient Greece. Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a lot less bloody, but it’s pretty clear that it shares some DNA with Kratos and co. After all, this is a game where the protagonist - the titular Fenyx - is battling a Greek god (or however you want to classify Typhon) as the big bad, and along the way you’re battling all kinds of creatures from Greek mythology. The God of War comparison is probably the more obvious of the two. In fact, if we’re comparing Immortals: Fenyx Rising to anything at all, the two influences that jumped out to me most would be God of War or Assassin’s Creed. Sure, there are lush fields to traverse across and monsters to battle, but on the whole, this game feels like a different beast entirely. While I kind of see it, I guess, the reality is that Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a lot more than just another Zelda-like. Since it was first revealed back in June 2019, Immortals: Fenyx Rising - or, as it was originally known, Gods and Monsters - has gotten a lot of comparisons to Breath of the Wild.
