![]() ![]() Because the game’s default look for Fenyx was female, I stuck with my soon-to-be monster-killing heroine. ![]() Immortals Fenyx Rising has surprisingly good customization options for not only Fenyx, but for weapons and armor sets There’s different options for skin tone, hair length and color, and whether or not you wish to be male or female. But even with the light-hearted tone, Fenyx’s journey isn’t some walk in the park.īefore starting on your journey, you have the ability to customize Fenyx. The upbeat, dad jokes style humor and back and forth bickering between Zeus and Prometheus fit perfectly alongside the game’s cartoony art style. I’m a fan of Greek Mythology and while plenty of it may be interesting, some can also be a slog to get through. Some might find the humor tiresome, obnoxious, or annoying, but I on the other hand enjoyed the change of tone regarding this material. Throughout the game, Prometheus narrates every step of Fenyx’s journey in defeating Typhon with Zeus chiming in with his smartass comments. Thus starts the tale of a young Greek shield bearer named Fenyx. ![]() Thinking such a task would be impossible for a mere mortal, Zeus agrees. Prometheus presents a wager to Zeus that a mortal would be able to defeat Typhon, in exchange for his freedom. Typhon, the son of Gaea and Tartaros, aims to completely decimate the Greek gods and their Olympian home in favor of his own sinister domain. Our adventure begins with Zeus requesting the aid from the imprisoned Prometheus to help defeat the dreaded monster Typhon. Ubisoft’s latest open-world adventure takes a more whimsical, comedic approach to Greek Mythology, all while still delivering a compelling story. But once you dive in, right away it’s clear that Immortals Fenyx Rising is something different. On the surface, you might think we’re heading towards “beating a dead horse” territory with the Greek stuff. Now, the French publisher has returned to the Greek landscape with Immortals Fenyx Rising. Most recently, Ubisoft took a stab at the Greek setting in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Whether it’s in movies or games, we’ve experienced countless adventures surrounding Zeus and the Olympian gods. ![]() I do like this new style of adventure, and there's plenty to keep you occupied, but the upgrading system and slow pace of the DLC often makes me lose interest, especially since Pyrite Island isn't nearly as freeing or engaging to explore as the Golden Isle or the Eastern Realm is.Depicting Greek Mythology in entertainment has forever been a staple in the genre. My experience with the DLC has been a conflicting one, because I am a massive fan of the base Immortals: Fenyx Rising game. Stack these up with a bunch of side quests that will see you free a village of monsters for example, and you get an experience that features quite a lot of content to chew through. These range from more expansive tasks such as completing Vaults of Tartaros to find and destroy strange tablets that lurk within for Hades, or alternatively could just be to play a game of tag with Poseidon. This map isn't as large as the other maps, but with the change to the camera angle and the slower, methodical start that equips Ash with new abilities and skills very infrequently, it will take quite a while to explore and complete everything that is on offer.Īnd, to make this map a little more interesting, you will have a variety of objectives to complete tied to the various "lost" gods. With The Lost Gods being set in a completely new area, different to the Golden Isle, Olympus, or the Eastern Realm, there is an entirely new map to explore. There are plenty of similarities all the same, including having a sword, bow, axe, and Godly Powers, but at the same time there are a wide array of differences, including the new upgrading system and the many new lootable resources. Unlike previous Immortals: Fenyx Rising DLCs, The Lost Gods plays from a top-down isometric point of view, like a Diablo game, to make for an experience that is unique to what came before it. But, with Zeus putting Fenyx in lockdown and unable to leave Olympus, Fenyx has to rely on a bit of outside help, help found in the silver-haired mortal Ash. The new God of Unity, Fenyx and the God of Wisdom, Athena have taken it upon themselves to bring the Gods home to Olympus to make the world safe and hospitable again. Angry at Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, and a few others left Olympus to create their own land that they could rule without the King of the Gods in their way, Pyrite Island, but in the course of doing so, the rest of the world has become unbalanced, with natural disasters causing immeasurable damages to mortals and the Earth they call home. Taking place after the events of The New God DLC, The Lost Gods sees the Greek pantheon in disarray after Zeus and a few of the other Gods grew apart following a disagreement. ![]()
