Immortals vs. Breath Of The Wild: Which Is Better?

It’s safe to say that Immortals Fenyx Rising has taken inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but how exactly do the two games compare?
Immortals Fenyx Rising is Ubisoft’s latest open-world adventure, and despite being an original IP takes a fair few cues from a variety of games - most notably The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but also Ubisoft’s own Assassin’s Creed franchise.
In the video above, Kurt Indovina and Max Blumenthal compare Immortals with Breath of the Wild across three topics: exploration, combat, and puzzles. From an exploration standpoint, Immortals offers a very Ubisoft take on the Breath of the Wild formula, with a healthy dose of inspiration from recent Assassin’s Creed titles.
Kurt and Max also break down the two game’s combat, and discuss which title has the more satisfying fighting systems in play. And finally, they discuss Immortals and Zelda’s compelling puzzles - or Vaults vs. Shrines - to see which game has the upper hand when it comes to testing our brains.

[@jarofjuice]

In the UI Settings for Fenyx you can switch off a lot of elements including the compass, bringing back the intuitive exploration that BotW brought. I think the biggest difference between both is the world itself. Zelda’s world is unfamiliar, quiet, intriguing. Fenyx’s world is familiar; it is Greek mythology, and you’re playing the game while listening to a funny podcast. So the feel of both worlds is different. Both are incredibly fun

[@ilikefartjokes]

for me the combat is where this game really shines

[@Dawn_Raider]

Listening to a funny podcast, couldn't have said it better myself 😂

[@brettwalsh2847]

I enjoyed Immortals much more the botw. I found Zelda very stressful and taxing where I had fun with immortals and wasn't worried about item breaking, one hit kills, severely underpowered stats and completely lost on where to go. Good for those that enjoy it, but fenyx rising was a sleeper hit that I've really been having a blast with 😎👍

[@allnamesaretakn]

You can do it to trees u cant cut down aswell

[@diablioscortes862]

Having played plenty of both I think it's fair to say that BOTW is a more complex, ground-breaking and well-designed game. It's an art form. However, I find myself coming back to immortals much more often, while my BoTW cartridge sits on the shelf gathering dust. Why? 1. Combat: seriously wtf are degradable weapons 2. Character progression: immortals's skill trees may be rudimentary but they are deeply impactful. And it gives you the sense of working towards something. Gear is also done much better, plus there's transmog. 3. Character customisation: I always prefer to make my own character/version of the protagonist 4. Grand narrative: I love Greek mythology and, as someone who never played a Zelda game before BoTW, I have 0 investment in link's quest & world. Playing through BoTW has not made me care more about Zelda's world narrative than before. 5. Storytelling: personally I like immortals' jokey approach to Greek mythology. So many games and films have done mythology in a serious and onerous manner, while forgetting how Ancient Greek plays and poetry very much portray the gods as divines with human emotions and drives. Immortals playfully reminds us that the powers of these gods haven't stopped them from being petty, annoying and sometimes downright silly. BoTW on the other hand has some fun side quests but the main story and characters are too one-dimensional in their self-righteous infallibility. Again, I want to reiterate that BoTW is the more complex and creative game. In fact, my favourite part of BoTW is in fact it's music scoring, which is just gorgeous. But as an action RPG fan whose favourite game of all time is still Skyrim, Immortals scratches that itch for me. I want to write about BoTW but I want to play immortals.

[@xquizgameplay2051]

This is exactly why I never had the urge to play BOTW at all. I never played a Zelda game before and the first time I was introduced to Link was in Smash Bros. I know that if I bought it I would just quit half way through.

[@edge6441]

I have played a ton of Zelda games in the past basically all from a link to the past forward. I was skeptical of getting into BOTW as it was the first very veery divergent game to what I was used to...when I did finally enter I saw a magnificent game with some flaws that gave overall more freedom in everything. Botw is a great game a new formula of zelda adapted to what the audience of this time wants and needs and its done gracefully and in a groundbreaking way. Now Fenyx would not exist if it wasn't for Botw BUT it's a whole other game based on Botw formula but done different and boy it's AMAZING when I played fenyx I realized that was Botw on steroids and I loved it the world felt alive lush more talk more jokes gone was the ambient sadness of Botw I loved the weapons the effects everything is better on Fenyx at least in my book. Botw is the dad Fenyx is the son made better in many aspects!

I have been intimidated by how large and complex BOTW is, so I’ve owned it for almost two years and haven’t played it more than a couple of hours. IFR is shorter, more streamlined, and has the super easy Story mode so I easily dove in and fell in hard... clocking 40 hours in two weeks which is more time than I have spent on any game ever. It’s felt like a training class prepping me for BOTW which I will finally commit to. I hope more developers add in this super casual setting because I would buy and attempt so many more big titles with this option (because I have an autoimmune disorder that attacks the nerves in my body, causing me motor difficulties and slower reaction times... so games that require top speed/coordination performance shut me out of play even though my mind understands and enjoys the game challenges/tasks).

Not to mention Breath of the Wild came out over three years ago and didn't have the advantage of learning from what worked and didn't work in Breath of the Wild. For instance the combat worked, but the loot system IMO failed in several ways. The world was magnficiant and filled with character, but you didn't do anything with it. Age of Chaos feels gives you more to do with the world than Breath of the Wild did. Now imagine if we paradoxed breath of the wild so breath of the wild could learn from breath of the wild?! Or we can just wait for the launch of Breath of the Wild 2.

@@adamjensen2304 The problems with Immortals is Ubisoft control design, the terrible targeting system when facing more than one enemy at a time, and quite a few frustrating puzzles that are only that way due to their own gameplay mechanics and is less about actual skill. Also the microtransactions in immortals. Got 10 crashes in around 16 hours on Switch where in Breath of The Wild I only had a single crash hundreds of hours in and it was some kind of freak accident that I was unable to even replicate. I seriously doubt at this point anything will change my mind. It is quite obvious that Breath of The Wild is simply much better overall when it comes to consistent game design compared to Fenyx Rising. But Ubisoft actually produced a game for the first time in a long time that I actually enjoy. Sure there are some irritating Ubisoft things but it is a fun game and very much worth it. But it should never be considered in any way comparable to Breath of The Wild even if Fenyx Rising obviously tries way too hard (or at least seems to) to be like Breath of The Wild.

[@gamersinger5118]

@Matthew Dawson Better combat isn't exactly true. It is subjective. Both are pretty fluid. Design wise Breath of The Wild is arguably better because it better fits and suits the game overall. Quick pace tapping buttons isn't necessarily better. It is more action oriented in Immortals. BOTW has much more room to be creative in it's combat in comparison. More interesting puzzles? Also not true. They are often poorly designed and take too long in immortals and can be more tedious than anything. BOTW definitely did a better job with balancing the amount and duration of the puzzles and it should be obvious that Ubisoft cannot do puzzle design the way Nintendo can. Unbreakable weapons is also subjective. They are two completely different kinds of games when it comes to combat design and Breath of The Wild's breakable weapon design, while it could have been arguably tweaked to be better, was still perfectly acceptable in it's entirety. I would say this was probably the most even between the two honestly. They both have a great weapon and leveling system.

[@gamersinger5118]

@Matthew Dawson Had to break this up. Very few puzzles had to use motion controls and even though I completely agree about the use of motion controls. I would rather not have them mandatory at all. They were still far greater designed and further cemented the feeling of solving puzzles your own way. IE the way you flipped the maze completely over just to shift the ball on a flat surface to the other side. In comparison Immortals had a few extra ways around puzzles but they were much more limited. Lastly the voiced protagonist is also not necessarily better. I didn't care for Fenyx's voice at all and would have preferred him to stay quiet. With Link it is just easier to identify with role playing as him in the game. He should never have a voice. This is purely opinion based as so many other things between the two games. The main problem with Immortals is it's inconsistency. Borrowing great ideas is good and all but when you just borrow great ideas from different games and throw them all in a game you get a game where much of it's core ideas seem to deviate from each other rather than actually benefit. This is why Breath of The Wild is such an amazing game. It is very consistently designed. It may not be for everyone. Immortals isn't either as is pretty much any game ever made. But BOTW was expertly designed and just about every single aspect of it conjoined together and melded into a proper consistent whole. Immortals doesn't do that. Immortals also does not seem to understand how to incorporate any of the ideas from Breath of The Wild with the same or superior quality. Every idea that came from BOTW in particular was inferior as a whole throughout the game.

BOTW is great, but also a bit overrated just because it’s a Zelda game. People keep complaining about the stamina and grip gauge, saying Immortals stole that from them...but forgetting about its usage in Shadow of the Colossus. Immortals looks better and sounds better. Also, the combat is better, more fluid and more visually appealing. Another huge plus is that your weapons don’t break all the time and you don’t have to spend an exorbitant amount of time in your menu screen. I was contemplating getting a switch to be able to play BOTW, but Immortals relieved me of that. BOTW revolutionized the in-game physics, but the lackluster combat, weapon breakage (even the master sword), constantly being in your menu system, etc just makes me feel like BOTW is overrated.

Many say that pinging system destroyed the exploration, but I view it more as optional feature.

That made exploration much more enjoyable for me but I think the map markers are good for some players. It is optional feature and I think options are never a bad thing 😊

I love the waypoint I like the BOTW exploration but to many times I didn’t know where I needed to go and I had to wing it. For me again I love..I guess traditional..it is like Assassin creed but I can definitely see why a person would prefer breath of wild.

[@Eat_Sleep_Game]

I like Fenyx over Zelda as a newcomer to open world exploration games. I have both an xbox and a switch. I really didn't know where to go or what to do after reaching the big tower in Zelda. In Fenyx, it clearly tells you where the quests are and you could explore any part of the world without losing the location of quests.

[@mbower9641]

I agree immortals is more stream line with the map and location but just because it’s easier to pinpoint things on the map it’s still ur personal choice if u wanna go there keeping the freedom aspect in both games in terms of immersion sure Zelda takes it but immortals is not not off by much it’s like 1A 1B respectively.

[@scarletshivers]

Both games are amazing. I personally like IFR more because I'm a Ubi fan and because I like Greek mythology, and I wasn't 100% happy with BOTWs combat and weapon system

Does immortals have HUD options to hide things like puzzle elements?

Yes. But even active it doesn’t hold the players hands like other Ubisoft games

[@7dayspking]

'No other game came close to Breath of the wild's ingenuity in allowing players to use the game's consistent rules to 'break the game'. I don't really agree. I think there's a good number of points of comparison outside of the modern AAA open world game space. Breath of the wild is unique in how physics based some of these are (although there's been physics games for years that also do that sort of thing.)

[@Enzevil]

Both games are amazing, and I love them both. Although Zelda was a better title for me, I've found the unique points of Immortals really, really fun as well! It definitely was a huge surprise for me! Would recommend!

BOTW is much more creative in terms of environmental interactions and diversity in gameplay ,Immortals have better control feel better graphics ,a more detailed world and better combat flow . well ,at least thats my opinion

[@freakjob0]

They didn't even mention the story or quests. As they know the Botw story is almost nonexistent. The Greek Myths are told and infused into the path of Fenix in a fun and playful way. You can feel the Nintendo fanboys in pain in these comments. Their gold standard of a game outclassed and outdone by Ubisoft.

[@trebm3]

Immortals is great and for people that like direction I found it better. If you're more curious and do not like a marker telling you where to go BOTW. Narrative wise Immortals is a lot better. In typical fashion Zelda game stories are so shallow. Both great games.

[@gcarsk]

You say “flurry rush and parry” are the biggest parts taken from BotW, but those mechanics are from Assassins Creed: Odyssey, so they are copying themselves in that specific scenario, not BotW. Obviously the overall game takes heavy inspiration from BotW, but not the dodge and parry.

[@zedhead90]

Those are from Bayonetta, though you can probably trace it back even further and make a case for it being from Max Payne if you really wanted to. Everything borrows from everything else at this point. Immortals is just more up front about its inspiration in terms of world and visual design. Fixating on what’s original and what isn’t as a determinant of quality is stupid. Well-executed amalgams of more popular franchises are great. They’re a way of complementing things that didn’t work for some people in the source material. I’m reminded of Darksiders in its heyday.

[@ouchmoma]

This is the sort of content that really shows us the real differences between these two games. Its almost as if being a BOTW clone is a holistic view, but in truth its just marketing. Botw is just so incredibly deep while still retaining the sort of simplicity that everyone can play, while immortal looks suuper deep but its just what the screen shows and it doesnt go beyond that. And not one review reaches that conclusion. But this video did! Perfect! :) good job

[@sydhamelin1265]

After finishing Fenyx, the final grade drops quite a bit, and this is due to some really unfortunate end-game content. As mentioned, there are 4 quadrants, which you really explore as you see fit, and, with a few exceptions, you can really travel wherever you want. See a shiny object and head to it. The puzzles are mostly enjoyable, and the world is fun and beautiful to travel. Then...whew, the endgame. After you complete the quadrants, a 5th region opens up, and it is a slog, a real slog. The open world mechanics are completely removed by vast areas that remove your stamina, meaning flight/climbing/abilities, anything that uses stamina, is now unavailable. Instead, they give you one road that spirals up and down the final mountain, and one very specific path that you must follow, that isn't always obvious. Then, minor spoiler, the very last area is a vault that is the worst aspects of all other vaults, all in one. Near the end of the quadrant section, I was skipping vaults anyway, but the last vault is mandatory, long, repetitive, and ends in a really long battle, with few opportunities to save along the way. The game doesn't respect the players time. So, if you're just looking for a world to explore, and don't really care about completing the game, I'd put this as a solid grade B for that. But for a 'start to finish' game... grade of C-, all due to the very awful last 20%.

[@napilopez]

Everyone commenting on being able to hide the HUD... So what? It shouldn't be on by default, and it hides weakness in the overworked design. This is a case where having the options to do something isn't necessarily better. It's like going to a new restaurant and ordering a pizza, and finding out they put raisins on it. Sure, you can take off the raisins, but why'd they put them there in the first place?

[@robertcherman]

That comparison doesn't even make sense. Why put it there in the first place? Um, lets see. Some people play games on expert right off the bat. Some put on the easiest mode possible. Some people like to explore some people don's. So, having all the options give a result more people can be happy with. A better comparison would have been. You go to a pizza place, and the only thing you can get is raisin pizza. That is it, you have no other choices. Who is going to go to that pizza place? Not me, that's for sure.

[@mrpenguin2247]

Combat in Immortals isn't too bad but it suffers from the classic Ubisoft problem where when you crank up the difficulty it doesn't really get more difficult but only more annoying because enemies just become dmg sponges. Same in all AC games too. I really wish they could implement a Nioh/DS like combat system. But here enemies behave the exact same way whether you play on the easiest mode or Nightmare.

Botw hard to master? That’s a bit of a stretch. After like two hours or 3 past the beginning; it’s pretty easy to master. Dodging is very easy and the only thing that would take a little effort is parrying. Other than that it’s not “hard to master.”
