[@dddddddddddddddd6368]

They say Breath of the Wild more times than they say the game’s name.

[@DarkAceOkal]

Hard not to when it’s “inspired” by botw

[@TheTribes44]

So much of the gameplay elements straight up looked like they were watching Breath of the Wild gameplay on the other screen while developing this game, just so obvious but some people don't want to admit to it, same shit with people that play Soulslike games that are literally carbon copies of Dark Souls but pretend its a completely different game.

[@_officialmigs]

My favorite part was when they said the areas ins Immortals are same-y unlike BotW... I’m like, did we not play the same BotW?!

[@I_was_a_Bullfrog]

@@_officialmigs I thought the same thing. BOTW was an empty for the most part and had no variety in its environments outside forrest, desert, volcano and fields.

[@jdthebearded]

This game is great. The combat mechanics feel great and intuitive and it gets progressively harder and more fun as you go and learn how to use all of your abilities. The dialog between Zeus and Prometheus is fantastic. Funny and entertaining, as they narrate your adventure. I’m about 3/4 of the way through and it’s been difficult to tear me away from the PS5 these last few days.

I was hoping this wouldn't be a "they copied Zelda BOTW" review, and I was disappointed by the end.

[@livchamps9573]

You gotta call a spade a spade, man

[@awkwardsilence4427]

It depends. From what I heard, the combat is fairly different, feeling much more like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey with a pinch of something like Devil May Cry than BOTW. Exploration and puzzles though? Yeah, that’s pretty much BOTW.

[@titus6341]

The game is nothing like zelda the combat is more like a beatemup and and yeah u have a stamina bar and can climb stuff u can do all of that in nearly every other open world game

[@demonbre]

It's intellectually dishonest to claim that this game didn't copy BOTW in a massive way. They may have introduced some new elements, but I think it's fair to say that this is 80% a BOTW clone. I might buy it, because I liked BOTW so much.

[@bradyfan009]

The OST of this game is extraordinary, honestly blown away with how great it was.

Looked for this exact comment. Thank you!!!! 100 percent agree. Also can't wait for dlc 2 and 3 to drop in the next week ish. Its going to be a fresh and new take on the same game to jump right back in.

[@zacziggarot]

Right, they tell you it's no breath of the wild at every opportunity but I love to double jump into a glide, the voice acting and how many different ways there are to get stronger. They critique the sight ability like it's not an amazing upgrade from the five pins that you get in breath of the wild. You can use it everywhere, and you still have to actually find whatever spot in the distance to "find" it for later. That was something I did in botw constantly: laying markers, this game does it FOR you and that's a bad thing? Botw had fast travel EVERYWHERE, in this there are only a handful of spots, I think that was the reasoning for how easy the markers are to place. Also easy markers are a GOOD thing 🤣

@@fotografick I mean, lazy doesn't necessarily mean wrong to begin with.

[@THE_BEAR_JEW]

I just started playing this on PS5 this weekend and I've already put about 12 hours into it. It's a lot of fun. Granted, it does borrow a lot from BotW but who cares? It's a very fun game with a colorful world, clever jokes (especially if you're familiar with Greek mythology), fun abilities, rewarding exploration, good story. I'd highly recommend this and I'm usually very harsh on open world games. This game makes moving around the world fun, you get mounts, wings to glide, you can climb anything, swim anywhere, etc. It's just a good time. The combat is on the easy side if you can master the perfect dodge, but you can always make it more difficult on yourself by not upgrading armor and weapons.

[@haeltacforce]

So i've just finished this game yesterday and am planning on a new game + run of it as well this month. There aren't many games that I'll want to do that with. This review really doesn't do it justice and, if I understand the reviewer right, they kind of agree with me. So lets talk about the places where the game definitely outshines BOTW. THE WORLD BOSSES ARE FRIGGIN AWESOME. One of the main reasons this game just clicked with me was after encountering one of the world bosses on a certain spot after a couple of hours. I was definitely not prepared for that fight. Now, I could have gone the easy route, gotten some better gear, more health potions a bigger health/stamina bar. But I decided to Power through and boy was I better of for it. The battle was tense, I died a couple of times and I definitely had to learn the moveset of the boss before I could come anywhere near beating it. After defeating it the sense of accomplishment was amazing and akin to when you defeat a boss in a soulslike. The story is waaaaaaaay better than Breath of the Wild And this hurts a little to say it, but you didn't have to play BOTW for the story. When you finish Hephaistos' questline, you'll know what I mean. Aand then you'll get to know Hephaistos and get to know what I mean even more. We've al seen Zeus talking to Prometheus on the mountain and that narration while playing makes it a ton more fun than when it wouldn't have been there. You really feel like you're playing through a story instead of plowing through a desolate world. The combat Like butter. Enough said. And I could go on and on with comparisons. But the main thing is. THEY ARE DIFFERENT GAMES. Yes they both have an open world which you can explore and yes you have to complete puzzles to get better. But ffs NintendoLife, you know which games do that as well? Borderlands, The Witcher games, The Elder Scrolls games, The Fallout series, Assassins Creed; and that's just from the top of my head. I definitely feel like a ranting Keyboardwarrior now, so I'll stop. But lets agree that this review could have been a little more in depth and could've mentioned BOTW a ton less. We all love BOTW, I definitely know you guys do. But this wasn't your best day on the job now was it?

[@Doumisco017]

Pre ordered the steel book version of the game for switch. Maybe if I really like the game I'll buy it on another platform as well. Like the idea of cross-saving, having the switch version for on the go and pumping up the graphics at home on another platform. Although the hype was bigger than Ubisoft could make up for. Still very exited to play the game :D.

[@MCDexpo]

This game makes me feel smart, since I can complete the puzzles so far without a guide

[@killuazoldyck9929]

The combined implementation of game mechanics speaks inspiration from BotW, but some guys need to freaking chill and stop thinking like BotW invented these mechanics when they existed before. Climbing anything - AC Origins 2017 Odyssey 2018 Stamina - Far Cry Primal 2016 (while FC Primal does not have that same stamina bar, it did have stamina that drains with doing sprinting, heavy attacks, swimming although only regenerated with food and herbs), FC 2 already had a guy who gets tired after sprinting back in 2008 Glider - AC Brotherhood Parachute 2010, Far Cry Wingsuit 2012 Wind Current Going Up - AC II 2009 Herakles Bracer - Force Unleashed force telekinesis Dodge and parry, slow time - AC Odyssey 2018 (not sure about games before BotW with this mechanic, but with BotW and AC Odyssey just a year away from release they might have developed it separately) Shield for parry - AC Origins 2017 Slow time Arrow shooting while going down - AC Origins 2017 Puzzles, pushing things around, physics - Prince of Persia, AC games (just please it's not like BotW invented puzzle games) Place objects over something - Portals Vaults - AC II, Brotherhood, Revelations, Origins, Odyssey Tombs Viewpoints - AC, Far Cry towers (scream Ubisoft) Taming animal and ride it - Far Cry Primal Hunting and finding crafting materials - Far Cry. AC (most intense with this is FC Primal) Sneak attacks - literally core AC Far Sight - Senu in AC Origins 2017, Camera in Far Cry 3, 4 And the combat - this just screams AC Odyssey, except for the attacks on air The weapons you have don't break. Ubi learned from FC 2 to not make all weapons breakable. Though FC Primal and FC 5 did have breakable melee weapons. You can swim underwater here. So in the end, just wanna say not all these mechanics are new, and it's not even Ubisoft who made most of what I listed here. Give props to BotW for bringing them together, just don't act like they pioneered them cause that's what most you guys sound like.

[@Tm_Slink]

Yeah.. Sorry to be "That guy" *not really* but AC Origins isn't really the inspiration for climbing anything in BotW as BotW was out before Origins. It's would be more of a refined AC in general climbing mechanic instead.

[@njmontano1625]

...but the Zelda IP pioneered the action/adventure genre and many of the different systems and mechanics that are too many to detail that have been heavily "borrowed" by other games and became a staple in gaming in general since then. Overworld/World Map Item Inventory/Item Collecting Puzzles Block Pushing/Placing objects Exploration Etc... Etc... Hence the term, "Zelda Style" was coined. Can we say then that games that used such mechanics copied Zelda? lol

[@DavidLaneFox]

Good video, but I disagree with the opinion. I actually think the game combines its influences in a very cohesive and innovative way. I've been playing for like 50-60 hours and I'm addicted to it.

What are the performance/visual compromises with each version? Would BOTW fans enjoy this? Would people who disliked BOTW enjoy this? How about explaining the features and gameplay without just saying its bad BOTW? This review has basically just repeating that it isn't as good as BOTW over and over.

Anime games have a similar aesthetic, but no one says they are clones of each other. One thing I felt was missing in BotW is voice. And you always had to worry about weapons and shields breaking... I think comparisons can be made of many games with their mechanics, because they use the same engines. So, it isn't so much the similarities that are important, but the differences.

[@nickolasecker9817]

I don’t believe anyone was expecting this to oust BOTW. Ubisoft likely understood that there was plenty of demand for similar titles and ceased the opportunity. Just because a game borrows mechanics and ideas does not necessarily mean that it’s vastly inferior to its source of inspiration. Take for example, Banjo- Kazooie, a title clearly inspired by Super Mario 64. Was it better than Super Mario 64? Well, that was a point of contention, yet critics did not pan it for being “too similar” because It was still a fantastic game on its own, and offered better visuals, music and story. From what I gather, Fenyx Rising is not as good as BOTW, but I don’t believe anyone was anticipating a BOTW killer, rather an enjoyable experience that offers similar mechanics and in some instances improves upon what was established.

[@reppy115]

The person who wrote this review clearly doesn't like puzzle games or simple yet fun games. We get it puzzles can get annoying and frustrating but its not meant to be brain dead easy, they are very much achievable with simply a little looking around and using your head. Alot of them are similar with a few exemptions of new exciting puzzles to twist things up a bit so it doesnt feel boring or a task to do. Personally i love how the game works, from the exploration, to the finding points of interests with far sight, the combat system, the many armour sets and customizations for them as well as there simple explanations of what they do without giving mathematics and in depth stats of every armour and weapon peice out there. Its a good game that isnt hard to pick up. After a hour or 2 of fiddling with the controls getting mussel memory and learning what they do its a blast! Also comparing every open world game now days to breath of the wild is getting old. Yes its similar in many aspects, but thats a good thing. Breath of the wild changed the genre and birthed many great games from it taking aspects of the game that work and are heaps of fun! You dont hear everyone saying oh this games just skyrim because you can run around the whole map and do what you want and customize yourself bla bla bla. Seriously it needs to stop, reviewers are just being lazy jumping on the breath of the wild bandwagon trying to tear down great games, how about instead of negatively comparing games to eachother just say oh if you like this game and this game you're in luck because they've mashed the 2 together and its a blast! I saw a comment that perfectly summed up what breath of the wild comments are like, its as if your mother were to always compare you to your siblings whenever she spoke to you. Immortals fenyx rising is its own game and it deserves to be treated and reviewed fairly and not by people who hate the genre or anything that requires half their brain to figure out. Thank you

I am really interested how would all of these reviews look if Botw never existed. I think the main problem with this game is that everyone expect Botw gameplay but also how many of game mechanics has Botw borrowed from Assassins Creed (climbing anywhere, towers for reveling the map, jumping with glider aka Da Vinci parachute)

[@liquidsnake6879]

In my case they'd look the same, cause the issue i have with the game is not that it's bad or rips off BOTW, i think that if people like BOTW and they say something "rips it off" as a criticism then they're full of sh*t. I'm always up for more BOTW or more games like it. Issues i have with this game, are the typical Ubisoft crap, a 5GB patch on top of the cartridge content, the fact that regardless of that enormous patch the game's still crashed 15 times for me and i'm only halfway, the slowdown that occurs from time to time and is annoying af, the runescape 3 looking graphics and embarrassingly blurry textures on the mountains and the horrible looking blades of grass. Then yes the story is cheesy but somewhat funny, the combat is simplistic but fun, i'd enjoy it more if not for Ubisoft tbh, they ruin everything they touch, they should've at least matched BOTW's graphics and smoothness, BOTW is already old af and somehow runs better and looks better than this game on the Switch, that should not be possible.

THUMBDOWN REVIEW - the only reason is that this review felt more as a structured argument as to why the Shopper should buy BotW over the stand alone review of the game. This is best felt in despite the negative "feels" of the review, it was still given a 7. The game itself I think is meant to be a less serious option, more humrous injection of Open World exploration with Greek Mythos, but I dont think anyone was meant to think it would be superior to BotW. Again, Im only downvoting the substance of the review itself; and not the game / reviewer / site / etc. Still plan to check it out 😃

[@harmonicpulse4816]

Reviewers always do that stuff, downplay the positives and emphasis the negatives. Few don't do it.

[@ThePhoenixrising75]

Disagree. 8 hours in and loving the hell out of this. Doesn't feel like an inferior knock off of anything.

[@matthiasck]

[@GaymerFerrikRowan]

My only thoughts on this is literally that nintendo just wanted an assassins creed odyssey lookalike and failed slightly

[@Optidorf]

Nintendo?

[@zaylek6568]

I've been eyeing this game up for a few years, and the gold edition bundle of this (with £85 with the main game and all dlc's) is currently £12 on the Nintendo eshop so I'm super tempted to buy it! As someone who's never played any zelda game before, I'm hoping I'll get an unbiased view

[@NotHeresrsly]

I forget where I saw this first, but it seems like the problem with 3rd party games on Nintendo is that they can't compete with the Best Version of (X) Genre made by Nintendo themselves - however, neglected genres (optimized for the hardware) could really clean up

[@toshikisae1700]

Hows the resolution handheld?

I've been playing for quite a while now and I can say it's a very good game... and I am NOT thinking about BOTW all the time like this review!!

Wrong Title. You meant Immortals Fenxy Rising vs Breath of the Wild

[@javiervicedo8117]

I think you went too far with the comparison with botw, you have to do a review video not an comparison video xdddd

[@ThePhoenixrising75]

Agreed!!

[@steep9695]

[@GundamWarrior1]

I am feeling the same weak argument of "Its a imitation!" that games like Dead Space and Shadows of the Damned got. Yes both of those games were inspired by Resident Evil 4 but were equally entertaining (in some cases better) over the Capcom inspiration. Immortals: Fenyx Rising is my most anticipated game of 2020 (after No More Heroes III being delayed) and the "big releases" not interesting me (Animal Crossing and The Last of Us 2). I also want to reward Ubisoft for trying to do something new outside of another Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy, Just Dance or Far Cry game.

[@ZeroShaneBob]

I feel the same, although I would love if Ubisoft would give me more of the same Splinter Cell again :'(

It’s down from 60 bucks right now to 40. I’m not sure if that’s worth it for most folks though. Maybe wait until it’s 20 or so.

[@aleksandrtrikoz1993]

You know, I am not a fan of Zelda, I’ve never even tried it. There are so many games on switch for a reasonable price that I don’t even have time to experience Zelda and I don’t really wanna pay 70$ for just trying and checking what is that Zelda game is which doesn’t even ever go on sale. But seeing Immortals for a 11$ on sale… That’s attractive

[@thirdstrike4]

Nintendo is really missing the opportunity to take Kid Icarus in this direction. Smh , one can only dream 😔

[@anumba1]

Just ordered it in a 2 for £20 from Amazon. I don't think I can go wrong for £10

[@TheGoldenGriffiness]

What I want to know is does is have more enemy variaty and dungeon variety than breath of the wild? The lack of either has been a total turn off for me in getting that game

[@michealbates6369]

I know it's an old comment, but I've just tried to play BOTW for the 3rd time. I do not get the hype. And I enjoy Zelda games. Your problem with it is mine. There is a lack of....anything outside of big open, empty fields. There is no value or reward in playing through. The makings of an absolutely unreal game are all there, but it ends up feeling like an empty tech demo.

[@TheGoldenGriffiness]

@@michealbates6369 Thanks! Yeah it really baffles me. Id MUCH rather watch youtube highlights of the pretty scenery and call it a day. All of the things I like in Zelda beyond the astetic have been scrubbed.

This isn't a bad game. If you take it at face value, it's great entertainment for casual gaming. It is certainly no Zelda, but it's a decent addition to my switch library.

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

while you can tell right away its a spin-off, off brand blend of multiple games, as he said: it still looks hella fun, and i do plan on playing it, this one is on my list to buy in the next couple months ;-)

I mean, I get it, but the devs didn't exactly do themselves any favors by copying nearly every mechanic from BOTW. If someone were to do that to Assassin's Creed, sure, that's way off. But this is very blatantly taking a lot from BOTW without seeming to push beyond in many areas from a gameplay standpoint
