As we already mentioned in your impressions, Immortals Fenyx Rising has various comic dyes in its history that come in the form of, for example, their narrators, who are Zeus and PrometheusGods that will make you famous if you know about mythology.
This is not something you see very often on these types of adventures, or from a large dealer. As well, In an interview with Game Informer, Narrative Director Jeffrey Yohalem explains where the inspiration came from:
I felt that many video games are incredibly dark, and since childhood I missed this feeling that movies like The Princess Bride or Grab It As You Can or Land as You Can; I was wondering, ‘Why can’t a video game have that kind of tone? He leaned in that direction because of the fact that Greek mythology is really full of comedy. Unlike our current religion, which is seen as a moral compass where everything is very serious and is how you should act if you were a perfect person or a perfect deity. For the Greeks, their mythology was like their soap opera or their reality show, where you see people like us making mistakes and you learn from the things in the stories that result in tragedy.
Immortals Fenyx Rising will go on sale next December 3 both for Nintendo Switch and for the rest of current and next generation consoles. We have already had it in our hands for a few days and soon we will share its analysis with you, so stay tuned!
