Dear Ubisoft!

I would like to lodge a customers complaint. I went to your Ubisoft Connect store and bought the game Immortals Fenyx Rising, but what I got delivered was the game Immortals Fenyx Falling.

You see, the game I wanted was some sort of Zelda Breath of the Wild clone, a role-playing game with a large world to explore. What I got resembles that to some degree, but has large puzzle / platformer sessions that are unskippable. And in these platformer game parts, I am frequently required to double jump to get from one platform to the next. However, the double jump is not a simple double press of a button, no, far from it. You need to press the button once, then wait exactly 358 ms, then press the button again. If you wait only 357 ms and press the button again too early, you fall. If you wait 359 ms and press the button too late, you fall. And there are dozens of such jumps in every vault. So my Fenyx is falling, then falling again, then falling again. It takes me bloody forever to finish an otherwise boring vault, because I constantly fall to my death.

Now I really appreciate your thought of providing the game with several difficulty levels, the easier ones of which reduce falling damage. However, even at the easiest difficulty, I still need to time the second button press for the double jump exactly right, or I still fall, respawn, and need to try again, over and over until I finally make the jump. Have you considered changing the parameters of the jump ability in function of the difficulty level, widening the window of opportunity for that second button press and making it possible for the slower among us to succeed regularly in double jumping?

I would have liked to play Immortals Fenyx Rising. But Immortals Fenyx Falling is a very tedious game, that is no fun at all! Please provide me with the "Rising" version of the game, as soon as possible.

Regards,

Tobold
