Immortals Fenyx Rising for 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 is a fun game that keeps you engaged and wanting to play more. The story has a lot of humor and flows through the game. The graphics are really great and the open world has a lot of places to go and explore. The first time I played it 5 hours had passed before I knew it. The controls are easy to learn and use unlike others I have played where you need an engineering degree to figure out all the botton combinations. Definitely a great game at a great price.

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.

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.

My 12-year-old grandson was very excited to get this. It was on his 'really wanted' birthday gift list and seems to be enjoying playing it. Since he's been reading a lot about the Greek gods, it fit perfectly with some of his current interests.

Lo he estado pensando demasiado pero realmente cuando pienso en cómo describir este juego me viene a la mente Zelda Breath of the Wild pero MEJOR, jaja vamos no te alebrestes Zelda-fan, no compite con el aspecto místico de la saga de juegos o su gran calidad, pero en comparación te encontrás subiendo y bajando montañas mucho más fácil y agilmente que en el querido Zelda y coleccionando todo lo que se te ocurra mejorando a tu personaje de manera casi indefinida, la verdad lo pasé muy bien.Por si fuera poco, el juego está plagado de los mitos y leyendas Griegos y servirán de parteaguas para que conozcas un poquito más de ellos, con bastante humor sobre todo por parte de los dos actores principales que van "relantado" tus aventuras como Fenyx.Claro, lo negativo de este juego en Switch es que suele alentarse en ciertas zonas pero es algo que puedes soportarlo, no seas tan quisquilloso... Eso sí, el juego puede cerrarse en ocasiones de manera inesperada (esto no está bien obviamente), pero vale mencionar que no actualicé de ninguna manera la tarjeta de mi juego, y la ventaja es que el mismo juego guarda tu progreso de manera recurrente, pero no dejes de hacerlo tu también.Vale mucho la pena este juego, tiene inclusive más elementos de estrategia en el combate que el mismo Zelda, pero claro si lo que quieres es nada más presionar botones y acabar con tus enemigos, también puedes hacerlo.Es un juego para todos los gustos y jugadores en mi opinión, también para los que amamos el tipo de juego de Zelda BOTW.

Would rate this 6/5! Runs great on switch and graphics are amazing. Highly recommend!

Produto bem embalado, sem nenhum defeito, ainda veio um código de Quest bônus, muito satisfeita!

Super recomendado el juego, llego en tiempo y en forma.
