'Immortals: Fenyx Rising' is a worthy adventure wavering between cringe and charm

It's not necessarily a criticism that this game's best ideas come from "Zelda." Nintendo's "Breath of the Wild" is all over Fenyx's adventure, from wing gliders (that can fly much faster and further), to power bracelets that can lift anything, all the way down to the "climb anywhere with a stamina bar" mechanic. But it's all done with enough distinction and bounce to distinguish itself not just from "Zelda," but from Mihoyo's breakaway 2020 online hit, "Genshin Impact." And while "Genshin" has frustrated players with gambling-based motivators to keep playing, "Fenyx" swoops in to fill the offline, single-player void for anyone hankering for a proper "Zelda"-like experience, especially since Nintendo has been radio silent about the next sequel.
