I ordered the standard edition today.

Great fun game you wont be disappointed just up the difficulty.

[ThePacemaker]

Is it as easy as Valhalla?

[Abnor_Mal]

Very surprised this game is reviewing well and gamers have positive things to say about it. When it was first being promoted it did not seem like it was something people wanted as there was a some negative comments made here and there.

Now I'm seeing people choose it over Assassins Creed: Valhalla, could it be that this game does not use the Farcry template like Ubisoft use for many of its games. I need to look at it a little closer maybe it will be something I will like.

Never played BOTW but the comparisons to that game was enough for me to want to try it out, plus getting it 50% off yesterday helps. So far in my ps5 I’ve played valhalla, miles morales and sackboy. Each of which was developed for the PS4 to be able to run as well. I’m looking forward to the games made EXCLUSIVELY for ps5, games that just couldn’t run on a PS4. For me that’s when next gen truly hits.

[Abnor_Mal]

I wasn't sure if this game was also compared to BOTW all, but definitely see how it might be comparable. I believe Geshin Impact was thr other one compared to Nintendo' Breath of the Wild, which I also never played as I don't own a Switch.

[Takwin]

It is a love letter to Breath of the Wild by the devs for AC Odyssey. I consider BotW one of the greatest games ever, but I honestly loved AC Odyssey and had a lot of fun in it. Fenyx is a real attempt by a AAA studio to make a Zelda clone, and I think they really nailed it. It has great mini-dungeons like the shrines, beautiful graphics, and smooth gameplay, but the humor in the storytelling really shines. I got to play Watch Dogs Legion, AC Valhalla, and Fenyx on two months of Ubisoft+ and I will do it again when they release Far Cry 6. $15 for the deluxe version to play it and beat it is great!

[Abnor_Mal]

Okay I will definitely look into the game more, haven't played a Zelda game since the original back in the days on the NES.

[CaptainHenry916]

Not going to lie I did get some BOTW vibes with this game

[--Onilink--]

Its still definitely the Ubisoft template, but taking more inspiration from BotW and with more emphasis on puzzles/challenges to be found rather than just the wealth/artifacts you can find in Valhalla. So the world doesnt feel as empty and devoid of interesting things to do/find

[Abnor_Mal]

Thank you for answering about the ubisoft template. Everyone is making me even more interested in this game than I previously was, nothing but good things being said.

[ARESWARLORD]

Game is awesome

[giovonni]

I might have to trade Valhalla in for this.

[46player]

I haven’t played Valhalla, still playing Odyssey here. Did you not like Valhalla? Or is it just like more Odyssey/Origins?

[giovonni]

It’s both, it does have a lot of qualities of Odyssey, but the grinding is an absolute headache, and very unbalanced. I’d try to borrow it from someone before you buy it

[boing1]

Guys here recommended this over Valhalla. I'm having a blast. It's awesome.

[MrGameAndWatch]

I really like this game, I wanted to play it since the first trailer. But the enemy roster is so poor I can't give it a 10/10.

[Nicknasty]

Playing on PS5 and it’s up there for me. Definitely one of my GOTY contenders!

[_LarZen_]

Absolutely love this game! And the new content looks great with Asian theme and the other one transforming the game to basically Diablo type of view.

[brewin]

Game is absolutely PHENOMENAL! I actually am enjoying it quite a bit better than Zelda Breath of the Wild, something I never imagined! Wasnt this supposed to just be a Ubisoft cut and paste, half-assed Zelda rip-off?! Thats what I initially thought and heard on social media/game sties. But not having to worry about weapons breaking or having to constantly cook your own food are huge quality-of-life upgrades that I wish could be implemented into Zelda after playing this. Also, this game has some heart and soul that I didnt expect. It almost has a Rare-like quality to the art and humor. Sure the 1st hour or so kind of does make it seem like a Zelda meets Assassins Creed. But the more you play it really opens up and becomes its own sublime experience! All the AAA stuff out and all I think about playing now is this new kid on the block! I am very happy I picked it up and excited for this generation. i know this is on previous gen hardware too, but it runs so good on Series X you wont want to go back! This is potential GotY material, no joke its that good.

[hiawa23]

Ubi is my favorite dev, and Valhalla is my favorite Next Gen game so giving this one a rent from Gamefly with option to buy.

[46player]

Can’t wait to try it. Picked it up on sale today at BB.

[GamerBeast1982]

Just bought this gun tonight on F it it’s Xmas . And must admit it’s a defo sleeper hit of 2020 . The game really good . If you like the Norse gods or like assassins or like GOW you will enjoy it now all we need is. Meteor too hit and restart this awful planet , minus us the horrid human that kills for faith . F Humanity !. We are a disgrace on this planet .

[repsahj]

...i bought the switch version instead of ps4. Very good game indeed, not as good as BOTW though.

[46player]

A 10/10 is pushing it. I started playing last night, great game, but I would assess this more as an 8/10. It’s definitely not on par with BoW, SpiderMan or GoW. But it is very fun and colorful.

[LucidIllusion]

Definitely not a 10 but no lower than a 7
