If you enjoyed a mixture of those two things (like myself) then this will likely be a decent, yet underwhelming return to a world with a lot of promise.This year has been heavy, for a multitude of reasons. If you liked the combat and puzzles but weren’t fussed about that open world, if you liked the story but didn’t like the resource management, if you enjoyed the more linear parts, this is the DLC you’ve been waiting for. Ultimately, the way you see this DLC will be largely decided by the parts you enjoyed about Immortals. This is something reflected throughout the entire DLC. Upgrading feels like the completionist path, not necessarily the average one. There are upgrades to acquire if you do but the majority of the challenge here is mental and not physical. You likely won’t find yourself going off the beaten path very much. The world is much bigger than it initially seems but that world is purely there to challenge you. There’s a fairly small world to make your way around and proceeding arenas and areas to finish challenges and complete quests.

That’s not to say an upgrade path doesn’t exist but it’s more stripped back this time. It’s a tighter experience that lets some of the best parts go in exchange for a much more deliberate design philosophy. Progression and the entire DLC as a whole feels rigid by design. You are allowed to believe your progression isn’t fixed. With the base game of Immortals: Fenyx Rising, you could functionally finish it without maxing out your character but some progress is required to get the most out of it. The sense of progression is still there as you further upgrade your gear but its use isn’t very noticeable making it feel almost redundant. As you enter Olympus, you are given a pegasus with huge stamina and all your stats are kept to a high level. The issue is that puzzles have a one size fit all approach that is only helped by the new ability system.
Flying above the clouds, whacking balls into areas and boxes across the sky, it feels like one big shrine from BOTW. To do so, you must complete challenges for each main god and earn their blessing.Ī New God certainly has a sense of fun at its heart. This being said, you (and a few others) believe you deserve more by earning a spot in the inner circle of the Pantheon. In A New God, you play as Fenyx after earning admittance to Olympus. If you are thinking of picking this DLC up but haven’t finished the game yet, I urge you to do so. I’m going to avoid as many spoilers as I can here but the very nature of the DLC will spoil chunks of the base game itself. Whilst short puzzles allowed those systems to really shine, Immortals: Fenyx Rising - A New God feels just a little too rigid to take advantage of Immortals' greatest strengths. Taking after the likes of Breath of the Wild, its biggest strength seems to be just how robust its physics and mechanics are. Our own team gave it a seven, praising its open-world design and surprisingly fun puzzles whilst criticizing its repetitive gameplay and mediocre quest system. Immortals: Fenyx Rising released in the latter half of 2020 with moderate success.
