Immortals: Fenyx Rising

I also said "more or less" and you know what more or less means right.


Me to ... and no i did not lie and i did not made a mistake it's still more or less ... but yeah whatever.

Now I wish that AC Valhalla crumbly walls could also be taken down via heavy attacks or throwing boulder at them.

Also, we start with too few stamina. Most of my deaths have been via drowning and falling from the sky.

I did a Vault challenge (tied to the new DLC going by the popup). That's not for beginners! It gives you all the stuff required to beat it, but not the knowledge of what to do or the practice. Took me 15 minutes after lots of "death" and I didn't bother with what was clearly a "side chest". Although some parts looks bugged too, I was "dying" despite still flying and still having enough time/stamina to reach a nearby air draft.

I also tried to "clear" the starting area and there is one spot where I noped out. I was wondering if purple monsters > red ones. I got my answer after one attempted sneak attack. I ran away and hid.

I just beat the "A New God" DLC. Took me 12 hours to do so. Just to give advice to people, it is primarily you doing vaults over and over. If you like the puzzle solving aspect of the game, then you'll probably enjoy this DLC. They also have a number of novel systems you get to solve, and the secret trial was fun to play. There's not much else of a story component, other than you working towards taking a seat in the Pantheon. This DLC is definitely meant to be a send-off to Fenyx's character (at least until a sequel perhaps). But yeah, if you like the puzzles/vaults from the base game, you'll probably enjoy this as well. Also, fuck Zeus and his lightning bolts.

Yeah, they probably should have barred off that quest until you've leveled enough, or at least completed the questline for one of the goods. Also, ditto on that one area you saw  . I tried tackling them as well, but you'll need to upgrade your gear to start tackling purple enemies. Just for reference, it goes  Red -> Blue - Purple -> "White"? (in terms of difficulty). I believe the upgrade scaling works in increments of two. So once you've upgraded twice, you'll be able to tackle Blue enemies with no problem, and another two will allow you to take on purple foes. There's also a mastery system that lets you further boost your stats, so if you're one of those who likes doing completionist runs, you'll be able to apply additional crafting mats towards smaller bonuses.

...shit...

I did some more side quests, vaults and puzzles. Oh and I tamed a few mounts. There are some nice vista in this game too.

Saying that, I'm still playing with my keyboard mapping. The default heavy attacks mapping (shift+mouse) make it so Axe Smash doesn't work. So now it's rebinded to my "use glider" key which I had to move to another key and it's not flowing as good when I have to glide in emergency (muscle memory mostly). This game use too many key combos.

Also, for a game that doesn't have levels, why is there level scaling (i.e. enemies packs that were all red a few hours ago in-game, now have blue enemies thrown in).

Favorite thing so far: using the Heracles's Pull to jump into the face of the cyclops.

Playing golf with Heph's hammer. Now that was an annoyingly fun vault. I can't bloody hit straight

bought the season pass cuz reasons, but will wait til I am done with the main game before i start the first dlc. Just one blip on my armour to do and that is everything maxed. I'm already adding % to my powers/health/stamina, and still have the last two areas to unfog. There is always something I spot I haven't done! Every time i pause and far sight, I pick up something I missed. Which is cool, cuz i;m still loving it after 65 hours

My current (ground) combat tactic is sprint + axe + smash. I always forgot about Phosphor... 

Sometimes I pick-up a big rock and throw it as a Hello! too.

I played for the first time last night for a good few hours, I like it but I can tell it'll have it's repetitive moments already.

I really like the puzzles and challenges, it might be my #1 interest in the game to be honest. The combat is just have and slash with some abilities thrown in so it's nothing special to me, I can see a lot of assassin's Creed odyessy in this which I believe this game was based off design wise I believe? 🤔

I like the visuals as well, cartoony looks can be nice sometimes and listening to zues and Prometheus is pretty entertaining. Definitely curious how the story will go the more I play, I like the idea of Greek gods/goddesses and the evil villains and monsters from the mythology of that period.

I forgot there is melee in this game. All I do is jump from as high as possible, shoot everything on the way down, mop up with Phosphor afterwards if needed.

Hah, same. Even with Athena's Dash upgrade for laser immunity they're pain in the butt.
