After spending eons imprisoned under a mountain by Zeus, Typhon escapes and takes his revenge on the Olympian gods, severing them from their godly essences and robbing them of their powers. Zeus flees and meets Prometheus, seeking to secure his aid in battling Typhon. Prometheus instead makes a wager with Zeus that if Typhon can be beaten by a mortal, then he will be freed from his imprisonment. Prometheus uses his power of foresight to tell the story of Fenyx.
The player can customize the gender, voice, and the appearance of Fenyx. After unlocking the Hall of Gods, the player can use Aphrodite's Beauty Chair to make further changes at any point in the game. The game is set on the Golden Isle, a large open world consisting of seven distinct regions inspired by Greek mythology. The player is accompanied by Phosphor, a bird who can identify locations of interest on the map. Fenyx can traverse the world quickly through climbing cliffs, riding on a mount, and flying using the wings of Daedalus. The full open world is accessible from the start of the game.[3] As players explore the world, they encounter rifts which teleport them to the Vaults of Tartaros, which are a series of platforming challenges that require players to utilize both Fenyx's combat and traversal abilities. Players can complete various side-objectives and optional puzzles.

Quotes (from this video)
- Nintendo fans, here it is. My number two favorite system of all time is the Nintendo Gamecube.
- Oh my god. God, the Gamecube is so good.
- Eternal Darkness, the best Lovecraftian horror game ever made.
- Zelda, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. By far my favorite Zelda game.
- Metroid Prime, my favorite Metroid game. So good. love that game. The atmosphere is great.
- I love the Gamecube. I wish Nintendo would have followed down that path, but I have a feeling if they would have, they probably wouldn't be around anymore.
- And finally, my number one system of all time, and that is the original Sony PlayStation.
- And uh that game reignited my passion for or that console reignited my passion for video games. And it's been ignited ever since.
- And the best thing about the Sony PlayStation 1 era was like this was a time before we had so much news coverage online about video games.
- And so I could go to a video game store and we had quite a few where I was from in Fresno, California, a local kind of chain called BR and then we had Software etc.
- you could go into a video game store and just look at the shelves and the shelves of the stores were huge and they had so many shelves and there were so many games for the PS1 and you could stumble upon games that you had no idea what they were because they weren't getting covered.
- These totally bizarre almost non games.
- They had refund and exchange policies at their store, so you could go in and buy a game with a full guarantee that you would like it.
- And it just it gave us the chance to try things out at home and, you know, decide whether or not we like the game.
- And so that, you know, kind of gave me the freedom to experiment with a whole bunch of different kinds of games.
- And I think that's a I think that's a huge uh miss. I think not allowing gamers to exchange games and not allowing for, you know, that's why I like Steam so much because you can buy a game, you can play it for a couple hours, and if you don't like it, you can refund it.
