[@0o_KASHIII_o0]

Yes, this game is extremely underrated. Im a casual gamer and never heard of it. One day, I saw it on sale at Amazon for lesser than 20 and just bought it without much expectations. Ended up spending more than 100+ hrs going through all the challenges. There's a good mix of Fighting, puzzle solving and rpg elements in the game and it just kept you wanting to go back for more!

[@BadManiac]

I recently played through Fenyx Rising and liked it a lot. Not overly long if you focus on the story, but in usual Ubisoft fashion there's nearly an endless number of things to do scattered all around the map.

[@S0n0fG0D]

My only issue is 90% of the armour is practically useless as soon as you do the optional champions quest and unlock the armour and helm of bright divinity. They really needed some better perks. Almost all armour is made useless by their poor perks. That also includes the weapons and phosphor.

[@Makoto03]

I liked Fenyx Rising for what it was. Though the comedy didn't do much for me. Gameplay was fun though.

[@yacdj]

Ecellent game indeed. It was a blast to play and explore. The graphics are gorgeous and the writing is pretty good. They really managed to capture through writing, all the pettiness that characterizes the Olympian gods, while remaining funny and light. And the DLCs are good. Fenyx is a must-have even for players who like myself, don't like puzzle games.

[@SwedePotato314]

I completely missed this game and saw it on sale recently but had never heard of it. I grabbed it and I ended up LOVING it! I was so surprised I hadn’t seen more of this. The mix of mythology and the BotW/Assassins creed mix of gameplay is perfect. Even on Switch it runs surprisingly well although it takes up A TON of space. I’m usually into more relaxing games, I don’t get a lot of time to play being a mom anymore but I’m so glad I sunk some time into this one. A great game even for 2023.

[@Peace-Weaver]

Just got the Gold Edition for less than 20USD on Nintendo eShop! I’m amazed about how much content there is in the DLC! It’s almost like 3 whole new games! Thanks for your thoughts. Helped me decide to buy it :-)

[@SwedePotato314]

@@Peace-Weaver that’s awesome! That’s an excellent price for all of that! I hope you love it, I’m genuinely surprised by how much I love it. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard more about it, it seems super high quality and like a lot of love was put into making it. Hope you enjoy it!

[@diamadragonz]

mom if you like relaxing games you should play Elden Ring and Resident Evil 4 Remake they both are super relaxing and need no brains

[@SwedePotato314]

@@diamadragonz lol yeah for sure relaxing lol. And Elden ring is only a few hours long right? Real causal stuff for sure

[@personanonmaga5178]

I'm grabbing the PS4 sale season pass today as a Christmas present for myself. completed my 1st playthrough two weeks ago but I still want more, and the DLC seems to provide just that: a *LOT* more content

[@LajosUti]

I really like the graphics of this game (and the rest too), I prefer it over the super realistic style. I am still looking for a dark fantasy game with this graphics style.

[@Xen0xeroX]

It's a bit older, and not as cartoony as this, but the Darksiders series is pretty awesome and stylized well, if you haven't played them yet. What we really need is a modern Legacy of Kain...

[@Latchfpv]

This is one of those games, I keep thinking to myself "huh I really should give that another shot" then I install it, fire it up, play for a bit, and just put it down again and never bother coming back. It's happened repeatedly. There's something about it that I just bounce off of/am bored by I don't quite get it, as I love the hell out of BotW and Assassin's Creed.

[@bp4861]

Yeah well that happens sometimes. I did that EXACT SAME THING WITH THE WITCHER 3. So, I know from experience sometimes the third time's the charm in a sense. I owned it on 360 physical, Xbox physical and Xbox digital. Never played more than an hour until the third copy.

[@Latchfpv]

@@bp4861 You are totally right about that, it's happened with me as well. Guess that just means I'll be installing it again for another go, hehe =)

[@JM-co6rf]

I thought I'd love this game (I love BOTW and TOTK) but this game feels like a cheap mobile game compared to those.

[@VitchAndVorty]

I haven't finished Skyrim yet.

[@SuperBeasto303]

Same here lol, im revisiting it again but got bored of it again

[@mch_6465]

And now we got reported news that the sequel was cancelled, damn 😢

[@anthonyjenkins2001]

Just read the article and that looks like something that would've made me a fan. Less puzzles and more acrion/adventure. Seems like Ubisoft wants to milk Assassins Creed for all it worth, and then some. They'll learn the hard way that you can't live off of one IP forever no matter how popular. You need more--not to mention varied--IPs to sustain a healthy catalog.

[@personanonmaga5178]

yes, it is been sitting on my external HDD for over a year till I got into it last month. 70+ hours later and my first playthrough was complete. most fun and enjoyment I've got from a Ubisoft game since PS3 Child of Light, and possibly top 5 best Ubisoft games ever IMO

[@cali5ive124]

It wasn't what i had expected, but wow it was a really fun game, if you like Ubi games, you'll enjoy this one. It's probably cheap now too. The mixture of combat, powers, and puzzles was awesome.

[@1blktalon]

I think I have seen the disc for 10 or 15$.

[@cali5ive124]

[@abeldiaz3877]

That's a game I've always wanted to play, but never have come around to get it. Maybe this review will give me the little push I needed.

[@GoNzo4209]

You definitely should. There's not a massive learning curve unlike many new open world action games and the combat feels really satisfying. The puzzles are tough, but not impossible, and the story is actually much better than you'd expect. I highly recommend it

[@RalFingerLP]

I had this game on my wishlist and bought the Gold version on Steam sale today for 10$ because of your video, thank you for your insight!

[@ryosama1988]

I finally bought this on the SW (Gold Edition) and honestly, its surprisingly fun. There are graphical issues on SW but I play mostly on handheld so its not really that much of a problem. Need time to get use to the controls though. A is crouch and Y is for dodging. I kept tea-bagging in combat.

[@S0n0fG0D]

Tbh I loved all the different mechanics in this game. Every game should have the same customisation for items. Also the way the levelling system works is phenomenal. Highly reccomend this game to anyone who likes light-hearted, fun rpgs.

[@huntertomblin1946]

Just bought it used on Ps5 for 10 bucks, cant beat that. Decent game

[@click4gameplay]

I also picked up a physical version for ps5, for around 15 bucks. Some of the footage in the video is from ps5.

[@huntertomblin1946]

@click4gameplay gotta love used games 😀

[@geekinoffamolly8230]

[@apictureoffunction]

I got the Gold edition for free on the PS store, it was on sale for $20 and I had enough Playstation Stars points to redeem them for a $20 PSN funds card

[@KK-fi6ms]

Very underrated game. If this was made by some other developer, with some roguelike / soulslike type gimmick tacked on, this would be hailed as a masterpiece.

[@1blktalon]

I had more fun playing this than Breath of the Wild.

[@flouserschird]

I thought I was crazy for thinking this. I think Zelda is extremely over rated.

[@Rexprofile]

Thats exactly what i wanted to say , 👍🏻

[@trobriandstorm]

Same, i liked Zelda but it handles some of that mechanics better specially weapons and combat, also i liked its open world a lot more.

[@CP-uw4ts]

Zelda being such a big game without crazy build progression of any kind other than health and stamina bored me.

[@1blktalon]

@@flouserschird I can understand that I played it for too many hours to count and thought it was good but not great.

[@k.t.1641]

Played it for the first time this year too! Didn’t know much about it except that it was free on ps5 and looked kind of cheap but fun. Man I liked it way more than breath of the wild.

[@roguespartan2854]

It's a good open world. If you play on controller, the default control scheme will take a some getting used to unless you personalize it early into the game. Also, make the most of your first playthrough.

[@ryanb3959]

Really enjoyed playing the game. Was a blast. I started the DLC but didn’t finish it as I was puzzled out from doing all the puzzles. Probably pick it back up again to finish the dlc at least

[@MladenMihajlovic]

I liked the game but I've noticed that cartoony graphics just don't keep me interested for long term. I prefer a bit more realism.I'm also getting quite a bit tired of all these numbers displaying in combat. Not sure why that has become an RPG norm but I don't like it. The UI should be minimalist as possible.

[@alecrizzle]

I actually preferred this to breath of the wild. It hasn't an actual story and weapons that don't break after 4 hits

[@IsekaiApostle]

A single player game should never have a pay wall for skins. Every skin in the game should be unlockable from in game achievements not with real world currency. This game’s Gold Edition is on sale for $14.99, but I’m waiting for it to become under $10. It just pains me to support Ubisoft in general.

[@mattparish4451]

Boo hoo. It's just a skin, that doesn't have anything to do with the story or progression, or gameplay. Just don't buy it. It's obviously a good game, and for only 15? First world problems

[@IsekaiApostle]

@@mattparish4451 You’re the kinda 🐑 that makes DLC pay wall content and microtransactions possible. And it’s more than a skin, it’s the thoughts of supporting Ubisoft more than anything. Luckily in the past month I found it free on PC captain Jack Sparrow style. Gotta say with m0ds it’s much more playable. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@IsekaiApostle]

@@mattparish4451 It’s not about the skin it’s about supporting Ubisoft. Luckily over the past month I found it for free online.

[@eastaeg]

womp womp

[@IsekaiApostle]

@@eastaeg I’m just glad to see that Ubisoft had to layoff 124 employees in November and 278 in January. Looks like greed backfired on their sells. Karma is beautiful.

[@jacktihs2963]

Just bought it off Steam, Winter Sale :-) . First wanted to get it on Switch, but I'm sure the 30 FPS (and probably frame drops) would get to me :-) . Gotta say, I don't mind the Zelda Botw resemblance. Compared to that game, what I already like is.......no weapons that keep breaking after 3 hits! :) . I just started, but I also think the humor is a fine addition, it's not over the top (like how the ruined Marvel movies by adding too much), like when he first opened a chest and did like a drum thing with his hands, I was lmao. And it is pretty.

[@AmeliaSMC]

The game has pretty decent humour, and that's why I am downloading it

[@jmurray1110]

I liked this game but I think there are a few to many chests and tge inability to redo visits after getting everything was a bad idea I’m stuck using NG+ to try an get an achievement

[@jepeman]

I played it using a free month of uplay+, thought it was ok. Liked the traversal, exploration and combat, but the huge amount of puzzles & platforming did start to wear me down. It would've been better if there was less of the usual Ubisoft map clutter/minipuzzles/collectibles. Skipped the 1st (even more nonstop puzzles) and 2nd DLCs (weird ARPGish mode). Enjoyed the 3rd DLC (asian themed minicampaign), in fact, I liked it more than the main campaign itself, as it felt very much like a standalone condensed main campaign.

[@matthuck378]

It's 90% off on Steam right now...Thinking about picking it up.

[@Blisterdude123]

Look, it was fun, but I don't think it was underrated at all. It was completely fairly and appropriately rated. It was rated entirely within the boundaries of what the game delivered. It was as rated as it could possibly be, for what it was. And that's me ignoring the fact Ubisoft, a mainstream Triple-AAA developer trying to pull a fast one with customers pretending they could get away with launching a mainstream product with the resources of one of the biggest studios in the industry as 'early access'. Shifty as hell.

[@trobriandstorm]

I bought it with all dlcs on xbox some time ago, it has a lot of Zelda BOTW mechanics but it handles some of them kinda better tbf.

[@deadchivalry1698]

Which mechanics are you referring to? Because while it's apparent it was inspired by BotW I'd argue BotW did most of them better.

[@trobriandstorm]

@@deadchivalry1698 Fighting and combat mostly, even climbing its better on Fenyx, the weapon handling is easily one of the worst aspect of BOTW, haven't played Zelda TOTK but ive read its a much better game than BOTW. I'll get it later

[@man-yp1gb]

​@@deadchivalry1698 You can keep weapons and even upgrade them, I also liked that you can pocket the horse and have it out in a jiffy.

[@NotIfICU1st_]

One of the best reviews of this game I have seen

[@Exhalted1]

This game actually uses a lot of assets from assassin's creed odessey hence it was called a sister project

[@ronwisegamgee]

This game was actually very good. I enjoyed it much more than AC: Origins, Odyssey, or Valhalla.

[@adrianakivi4327]

I only recently started the game, and immediately recognized a lot of random stuff. This game almost feels like a knock off version of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Dont get me wrong, i like this game a lot 😅 it just feels really, really similar to Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

[@Art0r1a]

I really liked this game, but absolutely hated one aspect... platforms in the air/invisible platforms. Without depth perception jumping puzzles were more annoying than challanging IMHO.

[@HUMDUDE]

Can’t agree more! I like this game more than BotW and TotK… this game is just plain FUN!

[@iyankov96]

Personally the game has too much puzzles for my taste, otherwise it's perfect.

[@6zdog]

It really is too bad that this game and a few others like Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Crown are overshadowed by Ubisoft's terrible reputation. I really do miss the days when they just focused on making good games, like a childhood favorite of mine Rayman.

[@mick-ro3qn]

Still better than zelda botw and totk

[@costas4058]

i feel so sorry for the kids of today we come up with god of war and they get this

[@youngogkid2816]

This is an awful take. You mean to tell me there were no cartoony games that came out around god of war? Wtf 😂😂😂

[@anthonyjenkins2001]

I had the same problems with this game that I did with BOTW.....too many puzzles. If I want a puzzle game, I'll buy a game that's strictly puzzles. I want an adventure/action game. 😂

[@GOATGamingAndSports]

The puzzles turned me away quickly

[@papasmurf7684]

Ubisoft just steals popular mechanics from other games at the time then stuffs it all in one game.

[@billy_cross]

No offense, dude, but you could simply not use your vision to scan and discover things organically by running around the map

[@Cultur2298]

What’s the point? It’s either a constellation puzzle, a vault, an odysseus challenge or a chest. Literally only these four things spread throughout the map!

[@Gungrave123]

it wasnt then, it isnt now. It has puzzles inside its puzzles to unlock more puzzles leading to the next puzzle. At some point, it becomes tedious, and that some point is like 2 hours in.

[@rem792]

Yes. It's the same old pos boring grind from Ubisoft.

[@shadowripper6128]

cosmetic shops ruins the progression. you start with the best looking gear on, so you feel the same for the whole playtrough. stats and power is not the only reason people like gaming, they wanna see improvement and thats locked away by money.. i hope games in the future will get this and stop these money grab shops

[@IceStorm-l4t]

This game was hurt by releasing so close to the Genshin Impact release.

[@jmurray1110]

As someone who did a lot of now combat Yeah no it only works for sniping or using the chain lightning to kill others faster (especially shield guys and harpies

[@Dandoskyballer]

I wanted to like this game, but it didn't do it for me at all. Felt too childish. Doesn't help that I tried it after Odyssey.

[@Larevesdanlspriiii68391]

Exactly. And it looks like a mobile game on a big screen. They should have made it vast and story-rich, not a mythology based concept there's no originality and got dull in 10 minutes. The combat is uninspired. More games out there even more mediocre like atlas fallen. Havent checked soulstice.

[@Josh-qd9uj]

There is no chance of a sequel, Ubisoft at one point canceled something to do with this ip.. I don’t remember exactly but it was a definite halt production, move on

[@nickxzone]

Great Video!

[@gamingtonight1526]

What killed this game was the dungeon puzzles! The learning curve for quests was reasonable, but the learning curve for the puzzles was like a hockey stick it can take ages to work out a puzzle, and the reward is so weak!

3:37 Elias Toufexus never asked for this 4:20 no nut climbing 0/10 5:12 his voice is familiar, from either Valhalla or Odyssey, maybe Loki? 6:00 so it's a Ubisoft game 7:21 Talion, the Palantir! the best winged flight I played was Gat out of Hell, how the hell a standalone dlc got it perfect defies explanation 10:10 forcing a battleaxe cuts down on weapon variety and limits gameplay I wonder if the winged flight was originally planned as the "Wings of Hermes" for Odyssey's dlc playing this felt like going on a walk in the park with a burr in my shoe, the walk was nice but that burr kept nagging at me with every step

[@nowhere529]

It will be worth playing for years if you like Nintendo games.

[@TheJmix]

The game is alright. Less bloated than recent AC games but nowhere near as good as BOTW. But in my opinion it’s not worth the time investment, everything is pretty good in execution but lacks ambition. Nothing in this game has any edge or interesting ideas to it. There are so many far more interesting games out there…

Zelda sucked and is a broken glitch pot I had master sword level one and dup glitch was boring . Graphics are always bogus to run on switch . But this game is an actual video game not some simulation trash . The combat , the lore , the wings 🪽 to actually fly with , the weapons , horses , potions , secrets with fun riddles , the arrow that travels u control is awesome , nothing breaks or loses durability, enemies are cooler , powers are cooler , horses are cooler , u have a bird that’s awesome , u can climb just about anything , can swim under water , meditate to make it day light for some chest , can throw rocks lol and orbs , I have both Zelda’s and they are absolute broken glitch trash compared to this .
