Much like the characters within the game, Immortals Fenyx Rising has its flaws-but what makes it a bit charming is that it owns them. While it's absolutely a AAA title, I'm beyond thankful it's not another one that sets itself up as bait for Keighley's Game Awards, or feels the need to fiercely defend its validity and depth. Sometimes, a game can just be good, cheesy fun, and Immortals Fenyx Rising is precisely that and better for it.
