I feel like just because it’s ubisoft, people overlooked it, but I thought it was really good. Although I will say the cheesy humor might not be for everyone lol
Cool post but a lot cooler If you just named the game.
This underrated nameless gem.
Gods and monsters was better name for it tho
It was an alright game, but it felt to me like they were trying a bit too hard to mimic Breath of the Wild with its open world structure and puzzles.
Agreed. Enjoyed it more than breath of the wild (which it was immediately compared to).
Lmfao I remember thinking the “underrated gem!!!” Reddit trope was corny and played out a decade ago. And here we are still using it regularly.
“Mom can we have BOTW?”
“We have BOTW at home”
BOTW at home:
Definitely inspired by BOTW and I played this game directly afterwards. The gameplay is actually pretty solid but the on-screen UI (Ubisoft’s specialty) is horrendous. I wish there were ways to add mods on console because if there was a mod to remove most of the HUD, I think this game would be much better.
Gods and Monsters was such a better name than what we got, Monster energy drink mofos are weird.
Ubisoft says a lot of shit to hype the next AC game.
Eh, it’s okay. It’s pretty much Breath of the Wild if you forced everything that that game’s design philosophy rejected and forced it back in. Quest markers, RPG-lite loot system, directed structure, etc. If you like classic open worlds better than what BOTW did, you’ll like this one better. If you’re like me and enjoyed BOTW only because it rejected the copy and paste open world structure we’d been stuck with for years up until that point, it won’t have the same impact. It’s a decent game, it’s just nothing very ambitious.
When it’s Chinese, it’s a BOTW rip-off.
When it’s western made, it’s only inspired by BOTW.
I enjoyed this game thoroughly when it came free to ps+ recently but after about 20ish hours I was ready to move on
I had a demo of this on the Switch but although it seemed like a solid game, I just couldn’t find a control scheme to work for me. Everything I tried just felt a little off and I never got comfortable enough with it to buy the full thing.
One of the best game i ever played from ubisoft after Ezio time line.
Immortal fenyx rising 2 woukd be f@cking awesome
Not every game that didn’t sell “well” (or at least as good as its publisher expected) is an “underrated gem”.
Well if patrerns are a thing. Breath of the wild (which inspired this game) came out in 2017. Immortals fenix rising released 2020. Tears of the kingdom just released. So using quick maths. Immortal 2 electric boogaloo will release in 2026.
wish we got another rayman game…
Isn’t that game like two years old? Isn’t that a bit early to be asking for a sequel but more so acting like it’s not getting a sequel.
I found this awhile back and had never heard of it. Played the whole game in 4 days. Best 4 days of my life
Planning to get the game. What is more comfortable, keyboard or controller?
This game was perfectly rated, not underatted at all.
No. This was rated just fine.
Rumors are they are making sequel to it.
It’s just a Greek Myths themed Breath of the Wild mired by way less interesting puzzle solving and world exploration, very little enemy variety, and Ubisoft’s grubby microtransactions and needlessly cluttered UI
Definitely a big disappointment for me
I loved this game. So much fun. Really enjoyed the exploration and the story. DLC was good too. I thought they were working on the sequel?
I believe I heard that there was a sequel in the works. Probably waited for TOTK to release so they could copy that one too.
I’m currently playing it, and honestly i hate everything about this game… the story (dull and borderline cringy), the gameplay mechanics (stolen from a miriad of games like ubisoft as always), the graphics (like a knockoff pixar or disney movie) and especially the “jokes” (who couldn’t even make laugh an edgy teenager despite trying too hard).
Reading Ubisoft is now going to focus on making AC games is like reading Activision will now start focusing on making CoD games. Uh, okay then??
Look man, Breath of the Wild came out in 2017. We got Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom to add to the list. Open world games that have true freedom of exploration straight up ruin the old formula for me. God of War 4 and Ragnarok exchange true freedom for no loading screens, amazing story, and flushed out characters. Ubi has had plenty of time to jump on whichever trend suits them best, they’ve just copy pasted their content for the last 6 years instead of adapting.
Words that companies say mean nothing to me. I need to be shown you understand what I want in a game/product. But sure Ubi, go focus on your AC games. Lmao.
“Focus more”?
If they churn out AC titles any more it’ll be like EA’s yearly Madden games….
I loved this game. It’s honestly nearly as good as BOTW. Highly recommend people give this a go if you liked BOTW and TOTK!
Managed 12 hours befors givning up. The shrines were great the open world was pretty awful
a splinter cell game would suffice
Story and combat was really good but the exploration was abysmal.
Absolutely loved the banter between zeus and prometheus.
Started playing 2 days ago as it was recommended on here somewhere. Great game. Lighthearted and not too serious. Similar to Zelda in tone with a bit of Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning mixed in. It may not be as refined as a AAA release but guess what???
It is fun.
Nah I want ANNO 1935
This game isn’t even remotely underrated lmao. People speak of it very highly all the time. I wish we could just ban that word from the subreddit.
Also, the game came out 2 and a half years ago. A bit early to be lamenting the lack of a sequel isn’t it?
“I LOVE this underrated gem.”
“What game?”
“It’s just so underrated, nobody seems to know about it!”
“…what’s the name of the game?”
“It’s anyone’s guess why nobody knows the game.”
I started this recently and it’s genuinely one of my favorite open-world RPGs now. The puzzle design is the highlight, it’s brilliant and constantly keeping me surprised.
I think the tone is what would make or break the game for most people. The humor and lightheartedness landed perfectly for me, but I can see why it’s not for everyone.
But seriously this game is like a 9/10 in my opinion, just a joy to play
“they will focus more on AC”, like they will produce 8 per year or what?
I tried to play this game on game pass, couldn’t connect to an ubisoft account and didn’t even get to the game menu. Fastest Uninstall of my gaming career. Game looked cool tho…
Played it on Switch, definitely a BotW clone, but it was a pretty fun one and I liked the stupid humour as a mythology fan.
Yo I loved this game. It was gorgeous, enjoyable and fun puzzles. Surprised there is so much criticism in the comments. Wasn’t as big of a fan of the DLCs. But I hear they are working on a full sequel, focusing on Polynesian mythology.
I’d love a sequel to Fenix because it had some great aspects, but also some real problems that a sequel could fix.
Pros:
Beautiful art direction/visual design, colorful world!
Unlike Zelda BotW it is supposedly a “clone” of, actually has not-terrible voice acting, far more compelling and interesting story and lore (I super love BotW, but it is true).
Traversal was fun. combat mechanics fun and worked well.
Cons:
Monotony. Low variation of enemies, including bosses.. loads of same thing repeated.
Too easy. Even on the hard setting, the game poses no challenge at all to veteran third-person RPG players.

I’d buy day one if they also renamed the sequel “Gods & Monsters” and just fought the energy drink company out in court over it.
Having the words “Underrated gem” for anything is basically an instant downvote from me. Just name the game bro.
Would be so cool if they went full “old school” Zelda.
With an improved story this would be really good and
I think I would have liked a bit less busywork in the open world.
