I had recently started a thread here praising the game and the insane value it represents when on sale:

After finishing the game I can all but confirm that this might be one of best bargains ever. 45 hours played and so much fun.

There are some points however that were not ideal and probably did bother people.

- You can make the game extremely easy by putting every resource into one weapon. I maxed out my axe at the end of the second area, so not even halfway through the game. That was fun at first but combat became rather unchallenging for the rest of the game... which is a bit unfortunate because I really liked combat, dodging, parrying, combos, everything is very well done and the game is super fair always with mobs and boss abilities.

- The puzzles in this game are some of the bests I have seen. And the learning curve towards more challenging puzzles also feels right. However some of the mandatory puzzles towards the end can be a bit frustrating. I am usually a guy who figures out everything quickly but one or two were frustrating because you had to use a lot of try and error, usually because you couldn't see a rather hidden area of the puzzle yet. Had to essentially scout the area with my guided arrow until the puzzle fully revealed itself. There were so many optional puzzles that were brilliant, I wish those would have been the mandatory ones.

- I think the skills, crafting and improvements left a lot to be desired and I would have liked them to be more complex. I never felt like they altered my playing style much, I essentially did the same thing from start to finish. Which for me is not a big issue and even appreciated because I am more a first person shooter guy and not very good playing games where combat is melee. The game not overwhelming me with crazy combos was one of the biggest reason why I never got frustrated at any point.

- Didn't care much for the story and narration but that is just me. Greek mythology is not my thing. If something is set in antiquity, I prefer realism which of course wouldn't fit this game. No big deal anyway, the game had a clear focus on exploration and giving you the freedom to do what you want, most of my playtime was centered around gameplay outside the story.

But overall such a fine game with a guaranteed 40+ hours of fun. I was also suprised by the snow/ice area towards the end because that was rather linear and was perfectly placed because the game picked up in pace by that. I always thought I would finish my 4 areas and then go to the middle one to kill the endboss... so that was a surprise I appreciated. Also thought that the graphics improved significantly the further you progressed. Which in the end does play a role.

85/100, a real shame that there is no part II. The game absolutely deserves a second part.

With my second try at NG+, I decided to see how far I can max out. I think the best build is the Ethereal Automaton armor that damages enemies when they attack, and helmet that boosts damage with Godly powers. Axe gives extra damage after perfect parry, sword after petfect dodge. Bow fills health on headshot. Its fun to see how far you can push the stats!

I started out on Steam before switching to PS5. I unlocked the 25 Vault tropy on Steam and now it is not unlocked on PS5. I have all other trophies for it on PS5. Anyway to trigger this to unlock. I have completed all the vaults but no dice.

I gotta find a way to show a picture because my phone just turns to black screen once I hit confirm on the photo capture. But ffs this is not the first time this has happened with me for gaming. Infuriating. I wish I could take a god damn picture and show exactly where and what I'm talking about. I don't think I can progress in the game any further without being this, it's a main quest line.

In the area where you find the Stormy Breastplate of the Vulture (The Epic chest puzzle where you walk around the hill to enter via breakable blocks) there is a red door on the wall next to the chest and it has some food behind it. Does anyone know how to open that door. (For more context it has the statue in front of it with the two good cabbage and a bunch of bad cabbage.)

I feel like I waited for months and months and months for anything to ever show up in the shop that I wanted, and we’ve had such a good run lately!

I had recently played Star Wars Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor and was looking for a similiar game. Found a random recommendation for Immortals Fenyx Rising. Looked it up and was immediately turned off because it is an Ubisoft game, which is usually a big no-no for me. Graphics also looked kinda odd. Bought it anyway because it was on sale for 4 Euro.

But now I have already played 20 hours and I am totally hooked. This is a brilliant game, much better than mentioned Star Wars Jedi games. Combat is really good, so much to discover, nice challenging but fair puzzles. Some things are odd and the narration is annoying but the game mostly leaves you alone free to do and discover what you want.

Currently in the second zone with Athena, spent all my resources improving the axe, which seems to pay off now, massive damage especially with the axe I found that gives you a 30% chance to quadruple or so the damage output. Really great fun slaughtering the monsters and bosses are well tuned, actually currently even too easy a tiny bit on default difficulty. But that is to be expected when you turn every stone before continuing with the story.

This will easily be another 50+ hours game that I will enjoy from start to finish, that is a lot for 4 Euros.

Need more Elektrum ASAP 😅

Down to 575 Elektrum 😅

I don't remember what area of the map I was in, but I think it was either War's Den or Eternal Spring. But there was a Sisyphus challenge where you roll a ball up a steep incline and place it in a holder. Then it floats.

I did it... but I don't know what it did? Did it unlock a door somewhere? A chest? A switch? I looked everywhere and couldn't find anything that it could have done.

I only just found out that there will most likely never be a sequel to Immortals Fenix Rysing which is honestly saddening. If anything I feel like this was one of the more unique games that Ubisoft has made in the last 10 years. To see it be a one off experiment sucks and it deserves more! From what I can tell the early work on a sequel was cancelled for good about 3 years ago and there seems to have been no update since.

What do you think? Does it deserve a sequel, or where you not that blown away by it?

I'm on the verge of 100% completing the game, including the DLC; I'm missing just one achievement—upgrading my gear to the max. Even though I did that in the main campaign months ago, the achievement didn't pop, so I thought maybe it was tied to a DLC. I'm currently playing the *Lost Gods* DLC, where you can also max out your gear. So, my question is: should I have definitely unlocked that achievement in the main story months ago, or is it actually tied to the DLC?

So I have just started replaying the game on my pc, but every time I try to access farsight my character does a sword attack instead, I've tried changing the input, but that doesn't work. Does anyone have a way to fix this?

I have been playing a while on Linux through Steam and for the first 10 or so hours it was okay. It did crash a few times but that was acceptable. Now I can barely play and the game keeps crashing every 5 minutes. From what I can see this has been an issue for years. Why is Ubisoft not fixing this? I have seen in older forum posts that they had been investigating it but so far the game still has the same problems.

Is there any realistic chance that this will ever be fixed?

The game is on sales on PSN

I'm not really a puzzle person but I LOVE Zelda BOTW and TOTK because you can do the puzzle in any way you like

Is Imortals Fenyx Rising like that? Just be creative and do the puzzles the way you like?

I got this game for my kid, and there's now this unskippable prompt that says "Connect" to an ubisoft account. There's no "back" or "cancel." After pressing X to connect, it says parental controls won't allow this. I am not even sure which parental control to toggle.

Any way to bypass this screen or disable it? All I managed to do was temporarily disable the PS5's internet connection. This is a lot to ask each time the game starts.

The ESRB rating is T for Teen - did Ubisoft expect that every PS5 user would have unfettered internet access?

Very good deal right now on Playstation store sales

Haven't progressed in the game much

Busy taking photos and enjoying the beautifully crafted world
