Throughout each sequence, your met with minor dialogue between characters that do help with our protagonist’s character progression. Keeping faithful to Fenyx Rising’s notorious humour, the writing here is hilarious. The timing between each interaction is key, and the script penned for each character has shown a novel side to entertaining gamers within this space. While improvements are made evident, there’s little development in experiencing Olympus. The new map isn’t as broad or vast in range, and has little ambition for diverse exploration. It boasts a desolate environment from trial to trial without imperative combat or encounters. Sure, Olympus should represent a safe haven for all Gods, but a little challenge on the side would have been welcoming.

While Fenyx’s abilities have been amplified to match her seemingly godlike status, more issues come to light such as objective and mission length. Vaults can be a slog to complete, with puzzles blatantly cloned from the campaign. New artillery for our hero’s arsenal is welcoming, but makes it way too simple within each encounter, leaving the charm behind for more of a chore than anything. I will praise some combat for their added conditions in which players must meet to defeat an enemy. Checking each box adds just the right amount of heft during these specific confrontations, making for a little more engagement than anticipated. The contention of colliding into a bodacious baddie with a bounty made for an enticing allure. Still, Fenyx’s overpowered weaponry and armour made it feel all too easy, or as the kids these days say… “Nerfed”.
