Colorblind mode?! I'm so glad I preordered this! Zero sarcasm here, as I'm colorblind. I always appreciate when this type of stuff is added to a game.

This is your first video a watched, I like your presentation so I subscribed! Keep it up!

Has that Fable vibe to from watching your video

Literally no one has the same skeleton tho

Gabe, something about the in-depth detail you show in this video, the skill tree the abilities move combinations etc being shown has made me start thinking about which family member I can ask to buy the deluxe edition of this for my Xmas.

Great video man, I really appreciate your attention to detail as well as your passion. I was doubtful with this game, I thought it might be pretty shallow, but you make it sound really worthwhile. Cheers

If you haven't already since this video, you really really really wanna follow Hermes's side quest line

I was mildly interested in this game before the last mini direct and then the DLC expansions were announced too now I'm all in

What console are you playing on?

Hate KZfaq for not showing you dropped this and your Review, even though I have all notifications on.

I don't know if I should buy this. I saw one new and sealed goes for just $23 at a local store.

I think impersonation is a good word for it there. There definitely are a lot of similarities. But I love how they're going to make DLC sequels with different cultures. It would be my favorite thing if the next one is Egyptian myth. That would be incredible

Wait a fucking minute is this gabe from switch force? The voices sound really familiar

TL:DR - Breath of the Wild is better over all - so far. I'm currently playing this on an original XB1... It plays very well - looks good. I've also played the Stadia demo and that looks a little bit better... I will say I'm not enjoying it as much as Breath of the Wild yet - I'm still very early into the game, but there are things that Breath of the Wild does better in my opinion. Breath of the Wild borrowed some ideas from Assassin's creed - vantage points (towers) being one of those ideas. In BoTW though, You scout the landscape - until something pops out at you and you go and explore there.... In Immortals the scouting mechanics aren't as satisfying: You track across the landscape in first person until the controller rumbles and you see a prompt to press R1 and it tells you what's there - ruining the sense of exploration and discovery. Many of immortal's puzzles actually have more of a Banjo Kazooie vibe. BoTW said "approach from any direction and solve these problems however you want." Immortals feels far more like its a puzzle with an intended solution dropped into the scenery. The vaults of Tartarus are a straight up copy of BoTW's Shrines. I'm not far enough into the story to have an opinion on it yet - but I do find the humour element a little grating Zeus and Prometheus making modern references and constantly breaking the fourth wall takes me out of the fantasy setting and spoils my immersion in it. Irreverence is fun - Banjo Kazooie and Conkers BFD were brilliant at this sort of humour - and that's just where this game wants to be - but I prefer the more grounded fantasy of BoTW - which itself has humourous moments. The combat is good but I wish Ubisoft would move away from this obsession with mapping weapons to the shoulder buttons - there's no reason for it and its far more intuitive to have them on the face buttons of the controller. The light/heavy attacks/ stagger meter is a fun addition but it doesn't alter depending on enemy. In BoTW you can stagger a Hinox with an arrow to its eye... in Immortals the Cylcopes don't seem to have this same weakness - you just fill up a gague - like you do with every other enemy. In BoTW you can stand on a sleeping Hinox's hand and be lifted onto his belly while he's asleep when he goes to scratch - then steal all the items off his necklace and sneak away - Spy on a group of Bokoblins from a distance and you'll see them dance or interact... You can set fire to an encampment from afar or sneak into their camp while they are asleep. There is nothing even remotely close to this level of brilliance or innovative attention to behaviour and detail in immortals (at least not that I've found yet). The bullet time dodge is pretty much a flurry rush, the bracers of Herakles are magnesis, and the wings of Daedalus are the paraglider but with a double jump feature added. They are not improved in Immortals - they are just lifted straight from BoTW. The climbing mechanics are a carbon copy of Breath of the Wild's - except if you want to leap from a cliff edge you can only do it away from the cliff face in Immortals - no leaping for a hand hold here - which is an odd choice to remove if you are copying everything else. The Bow of Odysseus and the arrows of apollo are taken from Assassin's creed Odyssey's mechanics - however they are also a copy of Skyward Sword's beetle item (in turn a refined version of the batarang from the Batman Arkham series). This is a fun addition and its used well for puzzle solving here. The weapons upgrade mechanics are a massive improvement on AC Odyssey - Which was massively over bloated and confusing... I'm not sure I agree though that its an improvement on BoTW's. Item breaking, for all its frustrations, forced you to make use of everything you came across and experiment - and the weapons were massively varied and each had a use: Carrying a wooden weapon was always a good idea in stormy locations; having a Frost blade or a bomb arrow could change how you approached a puzzle or a group of enemies and the durability of the weapons made you plan what you were going to use and how - or whether the damage to your weapon would negate any gains you got... It was part of the survival aspect of the game. Likewise cooking in BoTW was key to exploration - they made the various buffs and stat changes mean something in BoTW - particularly with the hot and cold environments. in immortals crafting is limited to 4 potions that offer health, stamina, defensive buffs, or damage buffs... Its very pared down by comparison, but you don't get the elation from cooking with random stuff you found to get a 20 heart health buff. Fenyx themselves has a degree of customisation - which Link could only do through outfits (which were primarily used for their buffs and abilities) - Voice acting is an interesting one - Link remained silent in BoTW but the supporting characters were voiced for the first time in a Zelda game - and that worked really well... With a fantasy setting the voices could be varied... In Immortals the voices I've encountered so far have not been as varied - and I'm not keen on either of the two options given for Fenyx.

I don't like rpg games, but i have zelda botw and only played about 3 or 4 hours and got bored so i never play it again, but when i got immortals fenyx the fir 20 mins of gameplay i fell in love with the game, is so addictive and fun, is like my favourite game rigth now, im like 45 hours into the game and only opened half of the entire map, is just so much fun 🤘

NO 😱

Better BOTW? Questionable Great alternative? No doubts

I couldn't get interested enough to beat the legend of zelda breakable weapons of the wild.But this game is awesome.

I just started Immortals Fenyx Rising, played about 2 hours, and I prefer it over Breath Of The Wild. For one, not having to deal with f***ing breakable weapons makes such a difference. Also, having a clear direction of where to go, not to mention, the combat is way better. Moreover, there's a story, and you don't have to look for it through memories that are like looking for a needle in a haystack. Ultimately, I'm so sick of the current Zelda formula(including Tears Of The Kingdom)😑

Even Ubisoft can make a breath of the wild clone & still be better than the actually breath of the wild🤧

While not looking as serene as BOTW, mystery doesn't seem heavy either, it is looking like the alternative I wanted Genshin Impact to be (wanted to like it, but it didn't feel good to me for whatever reason).

If you’re watching this, do not play the demo version. It’s a poor representation of an otherwise amazing game!!

I like the game. The more you play it, the more you realize there’s more to it. I personally think BOTW is better, but this game is unique enough that I don’t think the comparison is fair. The best thing about this game is that it’s a quality single player experience in an age where companies are just trying to nickel and dime us with the bare minimum. There is clearly effort here and I’m happy to support the effort with my wallet. I will also buy the DLC.

I didnt like you needed a ubisoft account to play this game, other than that i rather enjoyed it more than botw. Vaults do seem tedious at times but still rather liked it. Funny how you struggle to find enemies to show off the game mechanics, i cant seem to stop finding them whenever i play lol I personaly like the skill and abilities trees in this game as their very simplistic and not overly done. I hate games where they have 100+ skills and ability sets like fallout. I love fenyx immortal rising and even god of war style where its simple and you got decent amount to choose from but not too many at same time

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH No. Or at least, i preferred Zelda. Even putting aside my lifelong love of Zelda, botw is just the superior game. The world has more identity, the music and characters are actually memorable, the world has much more diversity in biomes and landmarks so every square inch feels unique, and it doesn't suffer from that classic Ubisoft jank that comes part in parcel with every Ubi game Don't get me wrong, i like Fenyx a lot too, it's definitely a worthy alternative, but you aren't comparing burgers and veggie burgers here, you're comparing like, a burger to a Rueben. Yeah the basic idea is there, but the two things are fundamentally different products. In BOTW, the _world_ is a character. You don't have running commentary from Zeus and Prometheus, you have a story told by the world. A dead guardian sitting on a single, ruined home. A moblin camp built on the ruins of an old town. Imagine if King Rhoam followed you around the whole game like "Ah yes, this is the old Hateno bakeshop, I'm glad the guardians got it, they burned my muffins!" And then honked his clown nose, played a badum-tiss on his drumset, and did the "Whomp whomp whomp whooooomp" with a slide whistle while Zelda held the bridge of her nose indignantly. Fenyx is plenty charming, and as a Greek I can tell that they really tried to do their homework and not deliver something generic with my mythology (Hades is the devil, Zeus is an irredeemable bad guy, Herakles is spelled Hercules and he's superman). They actually surprised me with the steps they took, even if the twist at the end felt kind of arbitrary and like it led nowhere. Botw is a flying 10, Fenyx is a decent 6.5. If you're looking for a zelda-like that you can play on PC but you don't want to be a disgusting Genshin player, get Fenyx.

NO.... but it's still good.

Not trying to be an Ubisoft hater, because I loved AC Odyssey. But to compare Immortals to Breath of The Wild is an insult. I just finished it (40h) and by the time I dropped the controller I was like "oh thank God, there, it's over, uninstall". I have to admit, I really enjoyed it ... for the first 10 or so hours, when the mechanics were fresh and I was still having SOME fun going to vaults and chasing ambrosia ores, or chests. But then the ultimate thought blasted through my mind : While Hyrule feels ALIVE, Immortals world feels DEAD. Hyrule has towns, people wandering by, enemies interact with themselves, with animals, with the rain, with nearby weapons. It's just mind-boggling what BOTW's physics engine is capable of, and the AI behavior is incredible. Fenyx on the other hand, it's just a barren land devoid of life, with a few repetitive enemies sprinkled here and there, and your typical Ubisoft "here's a ton of collectibles for you to go fetch". There wasn't a single moment in this game where I just stopped and went "wow what a sight". The assets were bland, boring, unimaginative. The game quickly became just a list of tasks to complete, nothing else. I played BOTW twice, one about 3 years ago, and the other right after I completed Ghost Of Tsushima. I really liked Ghost, but I was getting a little bit uneasy about people saying it's the best open world since ooh my god foreeever, so many reviews and comments saying Tsushima Island was a masterpiece in open world design, and I was like ... "hmmm, I remember having way more fun exploring Hyrule ... maybe it's just nostalgia talking?" ... so I updated my Cemu emulator and decided to fire up BOTW again ... just to check something, just to remember. And just like that, 146 hours later, another playthrough completed, just like that. Hyrule just sucks you in. And don't even get me started on the music. If you think I'm exaggerating, IGN just released a few days ago a video called "150 Tiny Things That Make Breath of the Wild a Game for the Ages". That's a 2021 video, from a 2017 game. Just check the video out and let me know if Immortals does 0,1% of what is shown there. No friggin way.

No.This game is overrated

Botw is so boring imo so fenyx is a breath of french air

Saying fenyx rising is better than Botw is like saying that Craftmine is better than Minecraft Another lazy move by Ubisoft, to copy a game of the decade like Botw and turn into something that makes genshin look original I don’t like this game it’s nothing but a clone of Botw and ISNT AT ALL better than the original

No no no no no no no it’s a rip-off
