- Aah! (laughs) He's scary as heck!
That's the scariest looking thing I've ever seen.
(dramatic music)
Hey everybody! I'm Kelsey, and I'm so excited
because I get to play a Immortals Fenyx Rising
which is now available on Stadia.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is a game that takes place
within Greek mythology.
You play Fenyx,
a warrior who is stranded on the Golden Isle,
a place that has been taken over
by beast and demons from the underworld.
Along the way, I have to face
plenty of iconic mythical creatures and baddies
from across Greek mythology,
and also go on quests for the Gods and Goddesses,
all to gain enough strength
to defeat Typhon and reclaim Mount Olympus.
(excited panting)
There is nothing quite like starting a new game.
(excited humming)
(exhales) It's like opening a book
and smelling that like, fresh book smell, but better.
(laughs)
Ooh, look at all the godly powers.
One of my favorite god powers is Hephaistos's Hammer.
It strikes the ground
with this giant hammer that stuns them
like, just a little bit, but deals major damage
to like multiple enemies
and knocks them back away
from you, which I need some space sometimes.
And it comes in handy.
I think my second favorite God power is Ares's Wrath.
I love a good amount
of stun that it does to your enemies.
All these spears kind of just launch up from the ground
and just stun all of these enemies nearby you.
Yeah! Thankfully, I've got God level powers.
So, you guys don't scare me at all.
Apollo's Arrows,
they are like, unlike any other arrow
I think I've ever used in a game
where you can fire the arrow
but then you can control where the arrow goes.
Gotcha!
You want to go? You want to go?
(makes hitting sound) Got you again.
The wings of Daedalus were so great.
Not only are they beautiful
and they got me from A to B,
but also, it was a really great way
of immersing myself within the world.
Also, these wings help me when I want to jump higher.
So that was like a kind of bonus that I wasn't expecting.
Heracles's strength is super cool
because you can utilize it both
for puzzles and for manipulating your environment,
but also as a weapon in and of itself.
(laughs)
We also get blessings from certain gods that we help,
and my favorite has to be Aphrodite's embrace.
I'm so close, but I'm also so close to death.
Oooh.
Oh, wait what?! I just rezzed!
Oh my gosh, I think that was Aphrodite just did that.
That girl. That girl's the real one.
(gasp) I just killed my first one. Oh.
There are so many monsters
and mythical beasts that I get to battle in this game.
We've got the Gorgons,
which are kind of like Medusa-like sluggish creatures.
Cyclops. They come in different varieties of Cyclops.
There was like a little one that I beat one time.
Then there was a bigger one.
Overall, Cyclops, the one eye,
I could easily just get in there.
I will say, when they get ready to hit me, it is...
I see my whole life flash before my eyes.
Oh, we got him, we got him!
He's hurt! He's hurt!
Why did I dash away?
Dash back in! Dash back in!
Harpies were a little bit hard
because if you enraged one
and you were not ready to deal with the harpy,
they got the power of flight.
Get back, get back, get back. Yes!
Ow!
That hurt, dude.
The Minotaur? Very big and hard.
Oh, he saw me.
Oh no! Oh no!
Is that a Minotaur?
Oh no! Oh no!
Oh.
Boom!
Bye!
Yes!
Alright, I'm about to fight the Wraiths of Achilles.
Oh my God, oh my God.
They look very scary.
Oh, oh, oh.
Seeing Achilles come to life,
but it's this most demonic way,
was not chill.
I was definitely sure I was going to lose.
The Hecatonchires, honestly,
I'll probably still have nightmares about them.
Those things are freaking creepy-looking.
The way that its head moves?
Horrified.
Truly terrified.
What?! That's new!
He's an earth bender too? Well, okay!
My greatest enemy? It's gotta be the bears.
What are these, what are those?
Ah! That bear is huge!
Oh my God, there's two of them!
You know, maybe I got in a little too...
(moans)
Maybe I got in a little too deep.
I'm a mighty killer of gods,
but bears? Still get me.
(laughs) Still get me.
What I like about this game
is that each enemy,
you kind of need to adapt different tactics to beat them.
So what I'm going to use
against a harpy is not what I'm going to use
against a Minotaur.
The one thing I wasn't expecting from this game
that I actually super enjoy in any game
are the puzzles.
Okay, so I need to use my strength of Heracles
to move this into the little hole over here.
Go in, go in, go in, go in, go in.
Goal!
I think the most satisfying puzzle
was those like, floating, moving blocks.
I'm assuming I just need to get over there.
So let's pull you over here, thank you.
Oop. No. No, no, no.
Don't keep moving. Don't keep moving.
Stop, stop.
Ah!
No! Come on!
I fell in the same hole.
You know, what will kill me first?
The Hecatonchires or my own inability to climb things?
Okay, We're kind of making stairs.
I feel like this is kind of working.
Whoa, I did it! I did it!
Just gonna climb up his abs. (laughs)
That is too funny.
The humor in the game is quite funny.
Like, it sounds like something I would say.
- You're an inspiration.
- I get that a lot.
- Whoever wrote this game, I see you.
To hear Hermes say "true that"
just brought me so much joy
that I never knew I needed.
- True that.
- I had so much fun playing Immortals Fenyx Rising,
and if you're interested, you can play the game.
It's live now on Stadia
