Immortals Fenyx Rising - Nintendo Switch Standard Edition

I'm a long time gamer (35+ years now since I got my original NES) but I'm not a huge gamer anymore. I began to see reviews of this game just before it came out in December and thought about preordering it. I was a huge fan of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and really enjoyed Skyrim, as well, so I liked the comparisons. After reading some reviews that were not as glowing as the others, I decided to wait a bit and I caught it on sale just before Christmas. I'm really happy that I decided to get it. The comparisons to BotW and Skyrim are spot on. It has all of the open world elements, though I was a little worried with how linear the first several minutes were, as well as very similar gameplay mechanics, but is simpler. There are no weather issues making it hard to climb things or broken weapons (an NPC actually makes a joke about this at one point), the inventory system is very simple with no worries about carrying too much weight, and there is not really anything to buy (you can exchange elektrum with Hermes after completing quests for him for what is mostly junk - visuals for your weapons and armor that don't really do anything). There are several different choices for your bow, sword, axe, and armor, with each option conferring different benefits. You level up the whole weapon/armor system together, so when you bow is at level 4, all of your bows are at level 4. There are also skill trees for abilities and godly powers that aid in combat and movement/exploration. Playing it on the Switch, the graphics aren't as good as they probably are on other systems, but I don't have the other systems to compare it to, so I don't really feel I'm missing anything there. Controls and gameplay mechanics are more important to me and both are great for this game. I do sometimes wish Zeus and Prometheus would talk a little less, but if you know Greek mythology - and I mean really know it - some of their jokes and asides go deep and are pretty funny. There is a nice balance of combat and puzzle solving. Many of the puzzles have somewhat subtle hints nearby that you learn to look for after you have done a few. My first few battles, especially with Achilles's wraith, were quite challenging until I got down the system of parrying and dodging attacks. I've probably put 30+ hours into it already and I'm nearing the end, but not quite there. There is so much to do and so much to explore and I'm in no rush to finish it. If you play the way I do, you will eventually (and somewhat quickly) reach a point where you have upgraded all of your weapons and abilities so far that Normal difficulty mode doesn't present much of a challenge anymore, so it is nice to be able to change the settings on the fly.

This was my first open world game I’ve played where I was fully into it. I made it all the way to the snowy mountain and I’m stuck there. But I easily put 75 hrs in on the game, and I’m impressed. It’s simular to breath of the wild but yet, there’s something more to it. It’s kinda like an assassins creed but a more cartoon version. Very entertaining when you go threw the main story. For me, I was playing docked on my switch connected to my monitor threwout the first 65 hours. I will say, there are times it will glitch, and you’ll want to make a habit of saveing the game after important moments in the game. For example, I was finding the first god and it took me 5 hrs to get everything I needed, includeing getting her essence. This is the start of the game and it crashed. I had to turn back in my switch and continue, but it’s one of those times where I wished I would have saved it earlier. Graffics are what you would expect for the switch. There were times it was glitchy and times I’d get stuck on a part of the map. Besides my childlike gripes about the game, I really like the feature where you create a Ubisoft account. This allowed me to buy the same game for the Xbox and continue playing right where I left off, with better graffics and smoother gameplay. Very nice. I do like the whole idea with the switch, but what sucks is you need to be in wifi to play the game because you have to be connected to the Ubisoft account. So in a way it kinda defeats the purpose of portability. In conclusion, I liked the game but if I was to do it diffrent then I’d just buy it for the Xbox. But you will not be disappointed. If this Gen Z likes it, then you can bet your sweet pippy all generations will find it fun. Also they have Intresting dlc content and add ons that are really nice. 5 stars.

The cover caught my eye and when I saw it on sale for $15 I picked up Immortals as something to hold me and my kids over till Breath of the Wild 2 came out since it looked similar. At first glance there are a LOT of similarities in play mechanics, graphics and a few other things but once you give it some time you see that while this may have pulled influence from games like BOTW, it has a really fun and addictive system and storyline in it's own right. I am thoroughly enjoying this game and will probably purchase another copy so I can take it with me while I am on the road, and with the Online Save function it's not a problem to transfer save files from one to another (I have heard of people transferring cross platform in reviews I have listened to, but have no personal experience about that). Throw in a surprisingly deep character and armor/weapon progression and upgrade system and you have an amazing game, though I think it will be overlooked because of some of the cheesy graphics at times. It's worth the money at full price, but REALLY gets to be a value when you can catch it on sale. If you like games like BOTW give it a shot.

Immortals Fenyx Rising is an action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Quebec and published by Ubisoft. The game was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in December 2020 to favorable reviews. The game is set in a world inspired by Greek mythology, and follows the story of Fenyx, a demigod who must save the Greek gods from the titan Typhon. The game features a large open world to explore, a variety of weapons and abilities to use, and a humorous and engaging story. Immortals Fenyx Rising is a solid action-adventure game that is a lot of fun to play. The game's world is beautiful and well-designed, the combat is satisfying, and the story is engaging. However, the game does have a few flaws, such as some repetitive quests and a few technical issues. Overall, Immortals Fenyx Rising is a great game that is well worth playing. If you are a fan of action-adventure games or Greek mythology, then you will definitely enjoy this game.

Al igual que todas las entregas multiplataformas tienes sus bondades y limitantes, siendo objetivo y consciente de lo que ofrece Nintendo Switch puedo enlistar lo siguiente: Bondades * Portabilidad, donde quieras, cuando quieras... * Mundo abierto, colorido, divertido y con mucho que hacer... * Actualizaciones a la par que otras plataformas... * Buenos graficos para la consola, abajo de breath of the wild pero no por ello malos, siento que es ridículo comparar versiones entre switch y las otras, cada una ofrece algo distinto, lo tengo para xbsx y ps5, y comparo los gráficos entre ellas las caidas de fps pero comparar esas de sobremesa con la switch es ilógico, poco objetivo y hasta ridículo. * Traducción buena en lo audible e impecable en todos los menús, interfaz, diálogos, etc. * Controles responsivos y configurables. * Música desenfadada y agradable. * Muchas misiones, muchos se quejan de la duración de muchos juegos, en particular éste es muy largo, muchas misiones, mucho que hacer y eso se agradece ya que no cansa ni frustra. * Buena complejidad, a medida que mejoras la dificultad aumenta en cualquier modo... * Satisfactorio. Limitantes * El sonido es poco potente, le falta un poco... * Las voces en español son de localización española y los chistes los cuentan con poca gracia,hace falta traducción Latina. * El guardado es tedioso en momentos, la red es el limitante. * Vincular tu cuenta de ubisoft sí o sí...sería bueno poder omitir.... Es en muy buen título, largo, variado, entretenido y que si haces todas las misiones no usando guías o ayudas te llevas facil una 40 a 100 horas dependiendo de tu habilidad... Yo agradezco el gran esfuerzo plr llevarlo a switch y lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Ótimo

Great game

Very good game, similar to Zelda. Open world game with good graffics and storyline. Lots to do and collect. Would definitely recommend.
