![]() The character is able to utilize Zeus’s lightning, the ambrosia of the gods, and all kinds of other godly power. So it’s quite clear that all along the game was setting up Fenyx to be more than just a mere mortal. I really adored that Immortals Fenyx Rising never took itself too seriously, which quite honestly is a levity much needed when dealing with the stuff of Greek tragedies. I loved moments where Fenyx went to confidently open a chest, only to find it harder to open than expected, and other moments where she tries to pull a Coin of Charon out of a magic portal, only to get thwacked in the face with it. And Immortals Fenyx Rising doesn’t just make fun of the Greek gods, but also itself. I loved the narration of Prometheus telling a wayward Zeus the story of Fenyx, and calling him out for his notoriously appalling behavior. ![]() I actually laughed out loud while playing it quite often. I may be in the minority here, but I found Immortals Fenyx Rising to be hilarious. The humor never got old This image has nothing to do with the humor of the game, I just think it’s gorgeous and that Athena has *taste.* How about mini-game challenges of Phosphor and Fenyx flying or something? I would’ve gladly traded the vaults for more constellation challenges, frescos, or Odysseus challenges-or literally anything else. ![]() There’s just too many! And they’re frustrating and repetitive too. After fully completing every single vault on the mainland, I didn’t even have it in me to finish the vaults on King’s Peak. Honestly the last thing I want to do after platinuming the main game is to complete more freaking vaults. I have only attempted the DLC “A New God” once. Immortals Fenyx Rising is gorgeous, where is my jaw dropping Olympus? And frankly, King’s Peak, though not really referred to as Mount Olympus, is not anything like what I imagined the paradise home to the gods of goddesses looking like, which made me even more perpetually salty. I also absolutely hated having no clear path up the mountain. I hated the forced navigation challenges and constellation challenges, and stamina-sapping cold. Never have I hated any ice area more than I hate King’s Peak. The only good parts of this area were the legendary mounts. Honestly this is pretty much the only picture I have in King’s Peak, because I hated it so much. *Note: I believe this quest only came with the Season Pass or Gold edition. I crashed my game 4 times trying to tame it. ![]() What a waste of having a literal god gift Fenyx one of his special, legendary pegasi to have it not even fly or play any kind of a role in the story.Īlso still not over the majestic mount I randomly found after acquiring all the mounts in the game, that is apparently a glitch and not supposed to be there. I think that this quest*, and the reward of the pegasus, should have been what enabled Fenyx to fly up the mountain at the Gates of Tartarus to defeat Typhon-not just that she moved past a certain point in the story and the stamina sapping boundary was just magically removed. Is there anything more depressing than a mythological winged creature not flying? I thought it was such a buzzkill that these majestic mounts did not fly, or even glide, at all, especially after we got a cutscene showing the gift of the first pegasus doing both gliding and flying. I found that once I had maxed stamina, I tended to spam my Godly powers over most of the regular attacks, anyways, but pretty sure that’s not how the game was intended to be played. For the life of me, I couldn’t remember how to throw my sword or axe at an enemy, and I completely forgot about charged attacks on my bow in favor of Apollo’s Arrow. The only thing that I never quite mastered was remembering all the extra bell and whistle, so to speak, attacks that I unlocked with Coins of Charon. All that being said, the controls did really come second nature to me as I played the game more. ![]() These same controls made it almost impossible to play other games congruently, like Genshin Impact, which has polar opposite controls. I thought they were bizarre to the point of being unable to imagine them any other way. In my very first impressions of Immortals Fenyx Rising, I really had trouble with the controls of the game. Immortals Fenyx Rising is my first ever PS5 platinum trophy, and my 16th overall. So that should tell you just how much I loved my adventure as Fenyx as she (my character was female and will be referred to as such for the sake of this post), sets out to save not only the human race, but also the Greek Gods themselves. I am not too avid of a trophy hunter, choosing to acquire all the trophies for only the games that I love the most. In between many games, I managed to finally beat Immortals Fenyx Rising. I certainly took my time with this game, making it my 16th ever platinum trophy. ![]()
