It’s Actually Funny!
Reasons to Be Hyped for Immortals: Fenyx Rising
The story in Immortals focuses on Fenyx as they’re washed up on the Golden Isle and must free the essences of Gods locked away by the Titan, Typhon. While the story beats are often played out in stunning cutscenes, you’ll also have a running commentary from Zeus and Prometheus, who are arguably the stars of the show here.
The duo are fantastically voiced and often provide some comic relief which is actually funny. I know, it’s hard to believe, but it’s true.
Zeus and Prometheus bicker amongst themselves frequently, with Zeus ignorant to the plight his actions have led to, and Prometheus becoming enraged as he tries to make the God of Lightning accept responsibility for his actions.
Honestly, it’s the kind of storytelling that we need to see more of in video games, with some fantastic breaking of the fourth-wall to get you ‘in’ on the jokes. Developers take note, Ubisoft’s struck gold with their dynamic deity duo.
