This was very different compared to my time with it back in September, where members of the press were starting more than halfway through the game with increased stats, unlocked abilities, mounts, much more challenging puzzles, but with quests that felt more sporadic and disconnected due to the story being mostly withheld at the time (presumably due to the restricted region). It gave Immortals Fenyx Rising even more charm that complemented its more serious moments throughout its adventure that gives you a feeling of being laid back when you actually do want to lay back and relax both in the real world and virtual. My time with Immortals Fenyx Rising this time around gave me the opportunity to start right form the beginning of the game to see how things would start out, progressing me through a main quest line with a narrative by Zeus and Prometheus that was both telling and humorous. My demo back in September lasted a little over two hours, but I recently got to spend well over four hours with Ubisoft's upcoming epic that took me well beyond The Forgelands and to the rest of its map, which was so big that, despite my freedom, I still wasn't able to see everything in the time allotted to me. I got to see what was known as The Forgelands - only a small piece of what Immortals Fenyx Rising's stunning and inviting open-world would be, look like, and become - with a barrier set around the side of its region teasing the beautiful landscapes around it, each themed with its own sort of climate, atmosphere, and setting that would give players an imaginative sense of the immersive and magical world of Immortals Fenyx Rising's approach and interpretation to Greek mythology.

Ever since its announcement back in E3 2019 it's one of the games that has stuck with me since whenever I thought about upcoming titles I was excited for, and, though it went dark for a while, it not only met but exceeded my expectations in every possible way with my hands-on preview. Back in September Ubisoft graciously invited me to see a glimpse of what the world had yet to know as Gods & Monsters under its new name Immortals Fenyx Rising.
