Immortals: Fenyx Rising is full of emergent storytelling like this, and after the tutorial section, the narration is less frequent. From there, I set off toward the statue of Athena to survey my surroundings and figure out where to go next. Once dispatched, my enemies fly off into the horizon like Team Rocket blasting off after a failed attempt to snatch Pikachu. Picking up my brother’s sword, I proceed to slay the dark minions summoned by Typhon as he taunts my prowess in battle.
Due to Typhon’s dark magic, almost everyone on the island has been turned to stone or some other object or animal. Soon I encounter Fenyx’s crew and discover that Fenyx (male or female depending on what players choose when creating the character) has a brother, a noble warrior who she had been training under, who has since been turned into a pillar of stone. Once I’ve finished tweaking how I want Fenyx to look I venture off down the path ahead unarmed but unafraid. This is all done at the urging of the ever-present narrators, Zeus and Prometheus, the latter of which has been chained up by Zeus as punishment for giving humans the knowledge of fire. Despite the cartoony visuals, much of the game is truly breathtaking to look at.Īfter washing up on shore, I created my version of the main character, Fenyx.
Any spirituality deals with how these gods were viewed and worshiped by their subjects.Īlcohol/Drug Use: Nothing major, characters will occasionally drink or reference drinking in celebration ReviewĪt times, Fenyx Rising resembles a playable watercolor painting. Here the gods often communed with and even fathered children with mere mortals. Spiritual Content: Formerly known as Gods and Monsters, the game takes place during the time of the gods in Ancient Greece. Language: Minor expletives, but nothing major. Younger players likely won’t make the connection for many of these jokes but parents should be wary that they’re there. Sexual Content: While there is no explicit sexual content, there are MANY jokes and references that contain sexual innuendo. Alternatively, enemies will sometimes be launched into the horizon. However, there is no blood or gore to speak of as most enemies are “shadows” created by the villain Typhon and his powers of corruption and thus they vanish in a puff of smoke once defeated. Enemies are stabbed and slashed with swords, lit on fire, smashed with hammers and axes, shot with arrows, and crushed by rocks and/or boulders.
Violence: Being a game set in Ancient Greece with many mythological creatures and daring warriors, it can be quite violent. Like God of War, it calls back to games that came before it while doing things differently enough to set its self apart entirely. They’d be only partially correct as Ubisoft continues to introduce new IP on a near yearly basis and Immortals is a breath of fresh air in the industry. Now, I’m sure plenty of gamers are likely to stop reading right there and write this off as just another Ubisoft open world game, once again set in Ancient Greece. This project turned out to be effectively an amalgamation of games including Breath of the Wild and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Details were scarce as the year went on but as 2019 came to a close it was revealed that Gods and Monsters was still alive and had changed its name to Immortals: Fenyx Rising. When it was first announced at E3 2019, many weren’t sure what to make of “ Gods and Monsters”.
