According to Ubisoft, the game is about:

Immortals Fenyx Rising is an uplifting and witty take on the open-world action-adventure genre and is full of rewarding exploration through dynamic traversal. Sprint across open fields, climb enormous mountains and glide through the skies to discover all the secrets of the seven unique regions inspired by the Greek Gods across the Golden Isle.

If you haven’t watched the film it’s based on, I highly recommend it and it’s on Netflix Canada 😉

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake is a full-scale remake of the original game from 2003.

Players continue to progress as they combat enemies and master the art of parkour. Yuri Lowenthal returns, reprising his role as the Prince’s original voice and motion capture actor and players will be introduced to actress Supinder Wraich, who now plays the role of Farah.
