Immortals: Fenyx Rising review — A link to the vase

You can’t write about Immortals: Fenyx Rising without comparing it to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s a comparison that Ubisoft Quebec wants you to make. Immortals borrows a lot from Link’s recent masterpiece, including a focus on exploration in a large open world.

But so what? We’ve had dozens of games mimic past hits, like Halo, Call of Duty, and Hearthstone. It’s just how the game industry works. Heck, it’s how all media industries work. As long as the derivative work offers some new ideas or manages to capture some of the original’s essence, then I’m fine with it.
