PS5's Breath of the Wild

I hate to start with the cliché, but this really is a combination of Assassins' Creed & Zelda Breath of the Wild, with a little bit of Disney's Hercules thrown in, which isn't a bad thing!
Breath of the Wild is my 3rd favorite game of all time, so I had the itch to play something similar, and this looked like the ticket. Let me preface that the game may play & look pretty similar, but there are a lot of differences.
My fiancé who could not get into BoTW because of it's difficulty and lack of direction absolutely loves this game, mostly because it doesn't have things like weapon breaking, no difficulty choice etc.
So the game on PS5 looks gorgeous. The world is super vibrant, with lush foresty environments and lighting. The gameplay is a lot of fun too, it's not a simple button masher, you need to be strategic when in fights.
In terms of exploration, it doesn't quite hit BoTW level of exploration, and there aren't really any NPC's to talk to in the open world.
I liked this game so much, I bought it on the Nintendo Switch as well so I can play on the go, and thanks to the ability to sync saves between systems, I can just pickup where I left off.
I highly recommend this game if you have any interest open world action/adventure games.

Very underrated game... If you are a fan of Zelda this game takes the same cartoon design & feel to give you a title that shines. This game grabs your attention with its combat, gameplay & Puzzles... If your on the fence get off this will most definitely entertain you & have you hooked...

I read a lot of reviews saying that Fenyx Rising was similar to Breath of the Wild so I decided to get this game during Black Friday for 10 dollars, and I got to say it is a nice game it looks really nice on my tv and it runs very smooth on the ps5.

I love Immortals Fenyx Rising. It runs and looks amazing on the PS5. I’d recommend it to anyone that enjoys Assassins Creed games or Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Excellent game! Reminds me a lot of Zelda breath of the wild. Big world to explore and interesting characters throughout. Don’t miss out on this tittle. Same developers as assassins creed and far cry, Ubisoft

Great open world adventure game with an emphasis in Greek Mythology. Awesome graphics and gameplay mechanics. Lots of cool abilities in addition to weapons and armor. Very fun and entertaining. Highly recommended! Got this for half the price which was absolutely worth it.

Fun story!

This is a pretty fun game, so far. It's not a graphically impressive game, but the story and amount of content is worth the price. I have a few reservations about some of the controls that I wish were better. For example, when you want to glide, you have to push and hold the O button. On the surface, that's fine, but the jump/double jump button is X. I feel like it would be better if just holding the X button would be something most gamers are used to. I often find myself losing a life over not remembering that.
You will also hear a lot of comparisons to Breath of the Wild. I definitely see all of those, but I'm not upset about it. If you are going to create a game using one of most beloved mechanics, then you get a pass in my book.
Give it a shot if you really like Greek Mythology. You can even customize your character to look like Kratos and have an unofficial God of War game!

This is an extremely underrated game. UBI soft has recently been criticized for poor games with crypto currencies, DLCs that were over priced, glitchy games and just unfinished games. However, this game deserves 5 stars. It’s funny and the cartoon may fool you but it’s a copy of Zelda Breath of Wild game but has humor and action on its own. For cheap price you can’t beat this. Great Greek Mythology action RPG style. You won’t be disappointed.

Fenyx is a fun unique game with many hours of play

Surprise release of the year. It plays like Ubisoft's open-world adventures like Assassin's Creed, but introduce it in an even more enjoyable package - lighter tone, feels more action-oriented with gliding abilities, a cool familiar, plenty of armor, weapon, and familiar pet upgrades and customization. So much to explore, with lots of puzzles (from easy to tough). Please don't compare this to Zelda BotW. It's unique in its own right (and I get it that people are basing that on the surface of art style and a narrow reviewer viewpoint). Fenyx is an amazing game with many, many hours of playtime and exploration. Jump into with an open mind, and a few hours into it, you will be hooked. Highly recommended.

A great looking open world game. Plenty of quests and tasks to keep you busy as you explore. Character gets a bit overpowered pretty early but the exploration and the fun puzzles keeps me playing.

Okay so I didn't see that coming...
So I read an article about this game being from the same team who made Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Then the reviews were pretty good. It was on sale and I got it cheap so figured I would give it a try. It's highly addictive and very unique.
Tons of puzzles and such, but I think the humor and characters (Greek Mythology) make it extremely appealing.
My honest take, before playing was "Eh...to childish". Not at all. It's sort of Kingdom Hearts meets Breath Of The Wild meets Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

The best from Ubi this year!

Cool artistic graphics and is full of Greek lore. The combat could've been tighter and feels basically ripped off Odyssey.
Unlike other Ubi games, the world is full of life and has addictive puzzles. IAPs are kept to a minimum with just cosmetic purchases. Enemies can kill you in 3 hits or less, so it'd be wise to power up before facing them and the game doesn't tell you this.
I personally haven't finished the story yet, but I've put some 40 hours in it and it's been a blast so far. Off all the Ubi games that came out this year, this is by far my favorite.
Pros: world, puzzles, graphics, humor.
Cons: combat, frustrating stamina system, level based areas.

A launch day gem!! The graphics are not phenomenal and the game runs SOO much better on Performance Mode, but the amount of stuff to do and the narration between Zeus and Prometheus absolutely make this game wonderful!
Take conversation that people would say today and place it into Greek mythology and it just WORKS! LOL these guys crack me up! Free exploration is a bonus, as I frequently find myself going to do one mission and branching off 4-5 more times before I even reach my initial destination! It's a great "pick up and play" for a few hours game, or more!

To be honest, it took a couple hours for this game to click. Folks have been selling it as BotW + Assassin’s Creed, and of course the similarities are there. But I think that colored my expectations and if you approach this game like either of those, I think it’s a mistake. Once you have a few upgrades under your belt, it’s a lot of fun to just live in this world. A much more ‘whimsical’ approach than most similar games, with a fairly heavy focus on puzzles. So if you want all action all the time, this might not be a good fit for you. I’m enjoying it quite a bit.

Surprisingly this game is awesome. Reminds me of breath of the wild with it's open world and puzzles. I am 12 hours in and still loving the game. Little corny with the dialogue but gameplay is great. Lastly, there is a story difficulty, which is good for very young players. My 4 yr old son can enjoy flying around and playing while taking minimum damage.
