The gameplay in "Immortals Fenyx Rising: Myths of the Eastern Realm" features familiar mechanics with some new puzzle elements that add variety, but overall, it lacks significant innovation and depth compared to the main game. While the new setting is visually appealing, the experience may feel repetitive for players seeking fresh gameplay ideas, making it more suitable for those who enjoyed the original's puzzle-solving aspects.

- “The beautiful and stylized new setting, along with new puzzle mechanics, shakes things up with fresh logic puzzles, providing a dozen hours or more of additional content.”
