Immortals vs. Breath Of The Wild: Which Is Better?
It’s safe to say that Immortals Fenyx Rising has taken inspiration from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but how exactly do the two games compare?
Immortals Fenyx Rising is Ubisoft’s latest open-world adventure, and despite being an original IP takes a fair few cues from a variety…
Botw bro… no comparison
Both games are great. BOTW is a league above obviously, however Immortals is a great game worth everyones time who likes BOTW.
I saw the cat.
I honestly like Immortals more. Zelda was too open for me. I love the more narrative focus by Ubi
Fenyx has an edge over BOTW in several categories: boss fights are handled better, the dialog is funny and there's lots of it, characters have personalities, you don't feel like you're spending an eternity just doing shrines or just gathering materials. But Fenyx is still light years behind BOTW in sound design and atmosphere.
So if your not getting a switch 🤔 and want to play something like Breath of the Wild then go with Immortal Fenix Rising
BOTW is much more creative in terms of environmental interactions and diversity in gameplay ,Immortals have better control feel better graphics ,a more detailed world and better combat flow .
well ,at least thats my opinion
I'm sorry but immortals is waaay better. Botw felt it had too many survival elements for my taste so fenyx was more enjoyable for me.
If u are a gamer you will love both💯
I like both I prefer Immortal Fenyx only because the I love the weapon skins and the fact that your weapon doesn’t break after a usage. You can save your game online and play it in every console. I love the waypoint I like the BOTW exploration but to many times I didn’t know where I needed to go and I had to wing it. For me again I love..I guess traditional..it is like Assassin creed but I can definitely see why a person would prefer breath of wild.
After playing BOTW, I turned off the compass and ignored farsight in Immortals: Fenyx Rising at the very start and never looked back.
Well Im only 4 hours in but so far Immortals is already showing me 1. Better combat 2. Smaller but more packed world 3. Good challenge. I'll report back in another 10 or so, but I can actually see it being better than BOTW, unless the game starts to go downhill to a drastic degree
If you are the fence for this game do not buy it
I have been intimidated by how large and complex BOTW is, so I’ve owned it for almost two years and haven’t played it more than a couple of hours. IFR is shorter, more streamlined, and has the super easy Story mode so I easily dove in and fell in hard… clocking 40 hours in two weeks which is more time than I have spent on any game ever. It’s felt like a training class prepping me for BOTW which I will finally commit to. I hope more developers add in this super casual setting because I would buy and attempt so many more big titles with this option (because I have an autoimmune disorder that attacks the nerves in my body, causing me motor difficulties and slower reaction times… so games that require top speed/coordination performance shut me out of play even though my mind understands and enjoys the game challenges/tasks). Good comparison video.
BotW is generally more graciously designed. It gives you the feeling of wanting to explore the world. While I:FR seems to be afraid that you'll get bored or you'll miss things. Also puzzle design in BotW was just way more slick.
In any case, I like I:FR for giving me something to do while I wait for BotW2 😉
I'm baffled as to how this video got ANY dislikes..
Here's an idea, dont ping everything and try finding it on your own lmao 🤦♂️
I've played so many good games and yet breath of the wild is my fav and i dont know why, it just hits diffrent than other games
There is no U in similar or similarities just throwing that out there
I really think that Immortal Fenyx Rising will be amazing with dynamic weather like BOTW (real cloudy day, with rain and sometimes thunderstorm).
If you can't pronounce the word 'similar', perhaps you shouldn't use it so often.
I love em both… BOTW because I love Zelda and the Greek Mythology in Immortals
No broken weapons in Immortals?? Sold!
I enjoy both of them.
The amount of small in game features still amazes me to this day botw is goated for that however fenyx rising is amazingly good as well they both deserve their separate flowers 💐
9:23 WAIT WHAT!?!?!?!?!
A lot of people love Zelda and don’t own Nintendo products so immortals fenyx it si
I love both.
I think Breath of the Wild looks really good but I'm not going to buy a Nintendo just for that. So i'm glad i have Fenyx Rising as an alternative.
I never have been a open world player till I got my Switch. I love Immortal fenyx rising. But never play Zelda. Now watching this video, I think Zelda might be my nexted game.
HONESTLY how you are going to say that OBVIOUSLY TOOK THE INSPIRATION FROM BREATH OF THE WILD these GAME MECHANICS WAS THERE WAY BEFORE BREATHOFTHEWILD ZELDA WAS NOT THE FIRST GAME WITH THESE MECHANICS .. I WAS PLAYING WITH HORSES 🐎 WAY BEFORE BREATH ( BOWT ) CAME OUT.
Ran through BOTW and done everything you can possibly do, just started Immortals and it is a strong contender which is slowly pulling ahead of BOTW for me. I love BOTW and it will always have a place in my heart but Immortals is what I've been looking for for a minute
Just bought immortals a few hours ago I'm surprised that ubisoft made this game it's good and fun.
What I would say is this: if you have a switch cop BOTW. If you don’t then definitely think about picking up Immortals.
I tell you what though, I definitely felt like the rewards for exploration in IFR really beat BOTW by leagues. The stuff you get inside of chests in BOTW is only useful 15% of the time, and with the breakable weapon mechanic it never feels like you truly got a reward. But in Fenyx every single thing you collect in a chest is usable and when you pick up weapons and armor, it's stuff that you get to keep forever!
11:00 this isn't true. It does not show you where the blue orbs are.
Would you please let the guest talk? Jesus!
Combat is more nuanced and advanced in BOTW. Immortals is great for button mashing though lol. But honestly BOTW is 100 times the game Immortals is and that is no knock on Immortals… it’s still a good game. That is just how great BOTW is.
Immortals improved on pretty much every aspect of BOTW.
BOTW is infinitely better to both of it's clones aka Immortals and Genshin Impact. If they were gonna rip BOTW so hard they might as well have copied the good parts completely.
I put this game off for almost a year cause i thought it was a lazy clone but this has to be Ubisofts best open world game in a while. It's really great, the combat is fun, while a bit daunting to start when playing on hard.
lots of nice colour and detail in the defined art style it has. Very pretty, this looks way better than AC odyssey in my opinion. The emerald green waters are a particular favorite of mine, the way they kind of make an algae mist when you walk through them, too. chefs kiss
I really can't stand French Canadian humour though. As someone from Ontario who lives next to these weirdos, I gotta hear stuff like this a lot and to have it in a video game is just annoying, it's not funny (it has a few good moments granted) and it feels forced. I often cannot tell between Zeus and Prometheus when I am playing and they are just gabbing on and on.
It's zelda with weed jokes.
OH LMAO the oracle stoner guy early on made me laugh at how fucking stupid that was
2300 hours…dude I'm 6'3 250 lb. and ex military….I could fall on this guy and it would be like car wreck for him….c'mon man get some muscle lil man
Zelda story is played out and convoluted I need something new
IFR is better imo
Just because you play a game more than other people doesn't make you an expert. Many gamers growing up with NES Played Top Gun for decades. It certainly doesn't make them experts.
It'd be great if this dude stopped pronouncing similarities sim-u-larities.
The game is a blatant rip off from BotW. It’s a good game but it’s extremely derivative.
I think fenyx improved on most things. Overall I'd say it's better
I refuse to use the compass for immortal Phenix rising. It makes the exploration much more dynamic
I like the fact that Immortals is based off Mythology facts VS where BOTW has nothing to do with Gods/Goddesses, almost like looking at Babylon scenery rather then BOTW where it's mostly fields, but don't get me worg…I love these types of games, Immortals is like BOTW, Assassins Creed, and Genshin Impact all summed up into one game, and the map on Immortals is far more impressive then BOTW in my own opinion.
