Immortals Fenyx Rising is a game that was doomed to be forgotten, despite being incredibly fun. It’s the perfect example of how a game can be incredibly fun, even if it doesn’t stick in your memory after you’ve finished it.

Immortals Fenyx Rising was announced at E3 2019 under the name Gods and Monsters, but was delayed from February 2020 to December 2020, leaving the game stuck in the dull timeframe that followed the big October and November releases (including the somewhat similar but grittier Assassin's Creed Valhalla).

December is the month where everyone has spent their money and started thinking about the game of the year. And there it is: Immortals Fenyx Rising. Ready to be played, but ultimately put aside when you're done with it.

It even has a forgettable name. You might remember the Immortals part, but then you're left with a spelling that makes you think "sure, it's Fenix?" and an addition of "rising" that makes sense eventually, but not at first glance.
