It's all very familiar stuff, but it's also a narrative structure that instantly evokes a sense of comfort, a cosy setup that combines with the reassuring core gameplay loops of climbing, riding around on horseback, gliding, exploring, solving puzzles and engaging in combat at your leisure, resulting in an undoubtedly derivative, but nonetheless hugely enjoyable experience that adds just enough of its own twists, turns and unique flavour to proceedings to make its ancient Greek romp feel worthwhile.
Of course, if you're going to draw heavily from a title so beloved by so many, you're gonna need to do a stand-up job or suffer the consequences and, thankfully, in this regard Ubisoft Quebec has mostly come up trumps with a fantastical Ancient Greek adventure that, despite a few problems here and there, is well worth sinking your time into. From its puzzle shrines and stamina-based climbing, to its huge freewheeling open world and core narrative structure, this is a game that owes a huge amount to 2017's mighty Hylian masterpiece. Original review (Nov, 2020): Much has already been made of Immortals Fenyx Rising's very obvious similarities to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and with good reason - this is a game that cribs heavily, unashamedly, from Nintendo's Magnum Opus.

The game released in December 2020, and has since received the ‘A New God’, ‘Myths of the Eastern Realm’, and 'The Lost Gods’ DLCs.Update (Aug, 2022): Two years later, Immortals Fenyx Rising is now available with Xbox Game Pass! Below, you'll find our original review from 2020, which was just after the Xbox Series X and Series S first released. Immortals Fenyx Rising started life as ‘Gods & Monsters’ upon its announcement in 2019, before changing its name the following year. It's not the first we've heard of a follow-up to Immortals Fenyx Rising either, with a leak earlier this year pointing to something potentially new in the pipeline. Grubb cites an anonymous source, who claims that the Fenyx Rising spin-off is “in early pre-production,” adding that he's “seen some concept art,” and “it’s coming maybe 2025.” If that's the case, then an official announcement is going to be a long, long way off.
They try to still be visually stylised but it’s less of a copy of Breath of the Wild.” It’s based on Hawaiian Polynesian culture this time around. “The production name of the game is called Oxygen. It’s more of a spin-off,” VentureBeat's Jeff Grub remarked during the Game Mess Decides podcast (via VGC). “Ubisoft Quebec‘s sequel to Immortals Fenyx Rising is not a proper sequel. Rather than continuing the original's Greek saga, however, the spin-off is said to be set within the realms of Polynesian myth, and one inspired less by Nintendo's latest Zelda. Immortals Fenyx Rising, the cartoon-styled Breath of the Wild-style open world adventure steeped in Greek mythology, is reportedly set to receive a spin-off.
