 This video is sponsored by Ubisoft. Well, kinda. I'm your DLC. My DLC. Yeah, you know I'm you, but I'm a little more. But wait, what? Don't worry for now. Uh, I had something for you. Here, take this. Immortals Phoenix Rising, but I already finished. Not the new DLC, you haven't, you absolute moronic moron. Whoa, there's new DLC? Yes, sir. Myths of the Eastern Realm. It's part of the season pass that has three narrative-driven DLCs. That's a lot of extra content for what was already a really fun game. Oh, just you wait. It's a brand new hero. An adventure set in Chinese mythology this time around. You can click the link below to support my box endeavors. Are you referring to the writing you just scribbled on the box while we were talking? Yeah, that's the one. Click the link below. How in God's name am I supposed to click your box? Don't answer that. Click the link below. Click the link below, you get it. I'm sorry, I can't believe I haven't suggested this yet, but do you want to get out of the box? Meh, I like it in here. I got all my snacks and Oreos. Oh, Oreos are chocolatey and round. Get on in here, you scam. Okay, move on over. I just had a great idea. Why don't we close the lid? Yes, okay. No, no, I'm not. I'm Bali's. You can't get me if I'm Bali's. It means that I can't be tall. Wow, you really are more. You got any more of them? KitKat's left. Yeah, you want to KitKat? Right, KitKat. It's the lemon flavor KitKat. You know, I'll try it. I'll try the lemon KitKat. I had the regulars, but I ate them all. So I got the regular. I got the stopper. Ubisoft are kings of slapping sleeper hits on the Switch and Immortals Phoenix Rising is no different. There will be no slap. To death. Oh my God. This is the best Thanksgiving code. That's four. There are not many games I've bothered to 100% because who's got the time? Hey, everyone. But completing Immortals Phoenix Rising happened almost accidentally for me. Hours up at night while watching crappy reality TV shows with Kim while mindlessly working away at the next hidden chest or puzzle was a blast. And of course, I really enjoyed the story as well. So I have honestly been really looking forward to this additional add-on content because it's not just some new cosmetic outfits for your character in the base game. It's three full new games. Hey, that's pretty good. The first DLC extended the previous game's story by giving you an all-expenses-paid vacay to Olympus where you put your trial and platforming skills to the test. But this new expansion is a whole new world and I can show you the world. Now, I'm not gonna sing. Not till later in the video anyway. Complete with a new hero named Ku and set in Chinese mythology. Myths of the Eastern Realm has everything you loved from the base game, but in a bite-sized form. You got a likable hero, quirky characters, a world full of puzzles and secrets. It's kind of like a snack-sized Snickers bar. Just as delicious as the full thing, but you don't get sick if you finish it in one sitting. What I love most about this DLC is seeing how the developer's fleshed-out ideas previously explored with Phoenix's journey. Like the combat, for example. I had a lot of fun wailing on the enemies and watching that combo meter rise, but it did kind of feel like there was no reward for keeping that combo meter going. With Ku, you now build up this guard power meter instead and the higher it builds, the stronger your axe smash and sword destroy moves become. This adds a wonderful element of the better you are at playing, the stronger your attacks will grow, making enemies that would have been difficult much easier as long as you keep raising your power level. Just show me. Other big changes came with the world puzzles. In this realm, you can find tile-flipping games, which either took me two seconds or five hours, depending on how stupid I was feeling at the time, as well as a huge variety of contraptions and structures to think your way around. The addition of wind and these shrinky, grody cube things added a lot of variety into the game. Something I appreciate most about Immortals is the sheer amount of puzzles and trials they made and crammed into the world, and yet no two puzzles feel like they should be tackled the same way. In fact, most puzzles are left up to you to decide in what order and what fashion you want to complete them. I often completed a puzzle unsure if I did it the way the game intended me to do it, or if I just hobbled a different solution together instead, but that's what makes it so rewarding. Not figuring out how the game wants you to solve it, but figuring out how you are going to solve it. Here's a great example. I spent longer than I would like to admit. Warming this ball through gaps and out of this maze before realizing what I was supposed to do was grab a different ball and turn these platforms on, which would have been a lot easier. But thanks to how open the game's physics are to being played with and manipulated, I did it my way. If you haven't played Immortals Phoenix Rising yet, don't let it pass you by. There's even a free demo of the game that you can download and play on all platforms to see if you like it, and you probably will. It's on Switch, of course, but it's also on all platforms and the entire game and all of its DLC has cross saves, so you can switch between any platforms on the fly. Handheld mode is flawless, fantastic, clean visuals with a bright, vibrant world to explore on the go and even blown up on my TV. It holds its own next to the other consoles. There's a link down below. Grab the game if you haven't already. Buy the Season Pass to get this Myths of the Eastern Realm DLC, as well as two other narrative-driven DLCs. It supports me, it supports Ubisoft supporting the Switch, and just remember, do it. All right, cool.
