After initially playing 10 minutes and giving up on the game I decided to go back to it and finish it. I should have listened to my gut instinct and stopped at 10 minutes.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is plain and simple a Breath of the Wild clone and not in a good way, it misses everything Zelda managed to do correctly, the vaults are tedious and boring and the stamina meter is completely unnecessary and is there so the game has some kind of 'challenge' to it.
It also felt kinda cheap knowing that some sound effects and gameplay elements were directly ripped from Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
The game wasn't long but my god did it feel like it was going on forever - not helped by the just annoying voice overs from Zeus and Prometheus trying their hardest to be funny.
I didn't mind the combat, as it was pretty much just Odyssey's combat and there were elements of a good game in there but unfortunately those elements were buried under so much mediocrity...
