The core gameplay loop is the standard open-world Ubisoft affair. Seeing all of the locations you can travel to from a high point of the map is enormously entertaining. The draw distance is excellent, and you’re able to see destinations far across the map. Immortals looks like the later end of the PS4/Xbox One generation like it should. The texture work is simplistic, but it fits with the overall art style. Shining wings erupt from their back when activating the glider. Golden reins sparkle to life when Fenyx jumps onto the back of their mount. Enemies shatter satisfyingly into hundreds of particles and cascade into the distance upon death. Fenyx is frequently covered head to toe in various effects from collecting items or using powers. What stands out immediately is the excellent particle work. The mythological elements that are there serve to keep Immortals somewhat interesting, but it doesn’t last long due to its repetitive nature: although the game looks and feels massive, it plays small and is much shorter than similar open-world games. The tone is rather lighthearted overall, despite being about the end of the world. Fenyx’s quest is narrated by two gods, Zeus and Prometheus, who inject a comedic element into the game. The gods have all been defeated and it’s up to Fenyx to take up their weapons and finish their fight.
You play as Fenyx, a lowly Greek soldier who is suddenly the only one left who can save the world from evil. Immortals has taken the essence of BotW and added a layer of Greek mythology that helps the game stand apart. Even the game’s musical cues are familiar successfully solving a puzzle triggers a bright musical riff that sounds nearly identical to the one at the end of BotW puzzles. From its universal climbing mechanic to its scattered puzzle rooms, many of the gameplay elements and mechanics are taken straight from BotW. Immortals Fenyx Rising clearly takes a tremendous amount of inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW).
