Actually just bought this game on Switch and while is still not a looker, I think the full game actually looks better than the demo for some reason.

Immortals Fenyx Rising Demo is now available

I own this on PS5 but I downloaded the demo for the Switch out of curiosity and I think it looks quite decent.
However it has this annoying film grain type effect though and I cant see a way to disable it. Is that intended?

From what I've heard the game got some patches after launch that improved the visuals and performance overall, and its possible the demo is from an older build that doesn't have those changes (it is using the Stadia demo after all which I'm pretty sure is entirely separate from the main game)
I also finished it on PS5. I kind of... disliked it? Like, a lot?
I mean, it's getting praise for being funny but I thought it was insanely not funny and I am the type that is amused pretty fast.

I didn't find it very funny either but what about the gameplay? I think it's a lot of fun just like the transversal
That was fine for most part but the narration was there on so many moments that it kept me 'annoyed'.
Haven't disregarded the game yet but it definately has lost my interest for a full priced game, as harsh as that may sound.
Yeah the demo is on 1.0.0, latest Switch version is on 1.1.0 and has had a few improvements that look pretty good! Based on some youtube videos.
I got the PS5 demo. It looks pretty on a big ol 4k HDR TV. The game play seems pretty tight so far. I'll finish it up, but looking like this may be a keeper.
So, the visuals on Switch don't bother me anymore in the full game and more importantly, I really dig it.
Sure, it has the whole Ubisoft open world formula with tons of collectables to look at but the overworld, exploration and combat are really entertaining to keep being invested into it.
More importantly though, I really want a Kid Icarus from this same style of gameplay. Hell, I find the banter between Zeus and Prometheus annoying but I think if Palutena was acting as trollish as Zeus while Pit has to tolerate her it would be really endearing. It's terrible that Nintendo and Ubisoft didn't make some sort of crossover DLC yet.

All BOTW managed to do for many people, myself included, is bore us to tears, and annoy us to no end with the tedious weapon system. The crafting system was also needlessly bloated. This game appears to be made with us in mind, which is probably why the game is a love it or hate it title for many. I was turned off initially when I saw the game described as a BOTW clone, but having now played the demo, nothing could be further from the truth. It's more of an AC clone, but with a more interesting story, world, and combat system. I don't like AC games anymore or BOTW, but I love this.
Demo was fun, so I went ahead and subscribed to Ubisoft+ for a month to start the full game. Played for 4 hours today. I love the graphics, the combat is good, and the side content seems to be much more varied than in the modern AC games (only played Odyssey though, but got bored pretty fast). I don't mind the humor either.
I hate the character design and the banter, but love just about everything about the demo. Glad you can put a helmet on Fenyx.
Very tempted to buy this, but might wait for a sale.

It's discounted every other week so definitely don't buy at full retail price.
It shouldn't.
That's actually why my wife and I, who basically spend hundreds of hours in Ubisoft's open world games, haven't really looked into this game much. Cartoony characters, barter and all that kind of "fun" can put as off. In fact, I find the most stupid dialogs and quests in AC too annoying to just ignore them. This is what I like about The Division 2, their open world is smaller, more compact and virtually not cutscenes or dialogues. It sounds like a downgrade compared to AC's open world but honestly I'd rather have that rather than a game that's too silly for its own sake. I hope I'll get enough sense of the game "humor" from the demo to decide. Even if I like it, I'll wait for a large sale, maybe the spring one.
Tried it the other day. The gameplay itself seems pretty good on Hard and I could imagine getting a lot put of the climbing mechanic, but the way the story's told... huge turn-off.
As much as I enjoyed my time with the demo I will say that gliding seems super basic and a missed opportunity for a lot of fun and depth.
Your PS5 may have a problem then. I've played the demo a few times and never experienced any dips in performance.
I had finished the demo and deleted it on my PS5 but now I'm wondering if I booted up the wrong version?
Ok I just went into my collection and saw that it was the PS4 version I was playing. I fucked up.
Got 10 minutes in and immediately deleted the demo. The narration is not for me.
I downloaded the PS4 version initially by mistake and it was a pain in the ass to locate the PS5 version. The PS5 version is a smooth 60fps and the PS4 version... isn't.
You aren't kidding. I just downloaded the PS4 demo and played for a few minutes on my Pro. It's kind of a sluggish mess. I'll probably wait until I have a 5 to revisit this.
I'm gonna put that more on Sony for their stupid way of handling PS4/PS5 versions of games. It should be seamless like on Xbox, but instead they chose to make it as annoying as possible.
Demo looked pretty good and was fun, but I didn't like the HDR in it. Everything shadow related looks really f'n weird and unnatural. Way too dark and therfore irritating.
Booting up Genshin Impact after that was like day and night of HDR quality.
Dual Sense support is also a bit strange.
You know this little "click" noise that the controller does when it let loose or deactivates the trigger mechanics in other games? This clicking sound happens here all the time as part of the normal vibration pattern. Makes me worry about my controller.
But I loved the story telling, was that all unique for the demo?

I lasted a big longer after setting the voice volume to 0, but the gameplay felt kinda slow and boring to me. Uninstalled.
I've been replaying Breath of the Wild and going from that to this is... jarring. Fenyx isn't bad per say, but the gap in craftsmanship is so apparent. It feels so much worse to play. There's too much happening on screen.
I don't hate the sense of humor, but I agree with other posters that they never seem to shut up, and trying to pay attention to the narration while fighting or navigating the noisy world map is aggravating. Big difference from zen-like BOTW.
I could see myself playing the full game at some point but I think I'd need a palate cleanser first.

I enjoyed what I played but the excessive hud is putting me off from purchasing. Would be nice if more games utilized dynamic HUD.
The writing is just plain bad. The humor feels like it was written by a high school student and meant for an audience of other high school students.
I bought it on sale the other week on Switch after the cheap Walmart eshop credit. It has been a good time so far. The story is meh and the writing really tries too hard, but the weapons don't break and there are things closer to dungeons than BOTW so I like it more over all. The world doesn't seem as interesting and the puzzles are limited to flip the right switch but it's been a good mindless time sink. I wouldn't recommend it at full price, but for $30 or less if you want an easy open world game that you don't need to think about the story on its worth it.
I'm with you. It drives me completely crazy. I think the first time I saw it on console was Destiny, and I hated it then, and still hate it in modern AssCreed etc.
PLZ STOP DOING THIS, DEVS š
Honestly, as a ubisoft hater, and somebody who thought BOTW was a 7/10 at best. This game is really really good, a complete surprise.
The thing that it misses from BOTW is the pleasure of just walking around finding stuff, the game is clearly designed to be a checklist of icons on a map like all the ubislog games, but it also misses weapon degradation, general world emptiness, constant time wasters, and incredibly dump and boring puzzles. It also has a proper fighting and progress system, pretty generic and nothing to write home about but again it doesn't give you toys and then take them away after 3 swings, and its writing is at least amusing if not funny.
It's a 8/10 game, nothing that one can't skip, but I'm having fun and will likely play to completion.

They can only be toggled off and on, I can't set it to automatically appear when it's needed.
Been on the fence about buying this for PS5.
Wish the demo came out long before Control, Destruction AllStars and Concrete Genie tomorrow on PS5+ though.....

Concrete Genie is going to amaze so many people. It's far from perfect but it really is great fun. Mostly carried by it's art style, sure, but that makes it really fun.
