Immortals of Aveum Reviews
Ultimately, Immortals of Aveum stands tall in the first-person shooter genre, replacing guns and bullets with magical mayhem. The combat is engrossing and intense, the puzzles and platforming provide plenty of reasons to enjoy the details, and its full focus on a single-player experience pays dividends with a solid campaign that bodes well for building something even bigger. True to its name, perhaps this is one game that will definitely live long in the memory.
The gameplay crafted by Ascendant Studios, albeit without any particular creative flourishes, is fun and involving for the entire duration of the adventure, supported by a script that, despite some unoriginal writing and sometimes too childish dialogues, contributes to keeping the title enjoyable from start to finish. An FPS that, also due to optimisation problems, fails to express its potential, but is nevertheless able to provide a few hours of fun to all lovers of the genre.

Those who seek for everything, loses everything. That's the fate of Ascendant Studios' first title.

No doubt Immortals of Aveum is an experience that you will not forget any time soon. Its graphical prowess and its combat and gear system are serviceable, albeit uninspiring. The star-studded cast will likely leave a lasting impression. But its overly linear loop and complete lack of meaningful side content hamper replayability while relying too heavily on typical AAA design choices. Immortal of Aveum checks off many lists, but it plays it safe for the most part.
Immortals of Aveum stands as a testament to creative innovation in gaming. With further refinements, it could have been the year's blockbuster hit. Nevertheless, it delivers an intriguing and distinct experience for action game fans. A must-try as we approach a thrilling fall gaming lineup.

Making good use of visual effects to compose its combats full of magic and emotion, Immortals of Aveum manages to deliver an original and fun adventure. The fights offer many options for players, with various types of magic, equipment and special abilities, compensating for the game's many problems. It's a shame that more care was needed in these areas, but we still have a great title for for FPS fans.

Immortals of Aveum had more than that, but it is still an OK title; it is not extraordinary, but it doesn't offend, and on the other hand, the humor and audio side of things are good. It's a shame about the appalling technical state on PC, where the title has problems even on a more robust build, but when the developers fix it? It'll be an acceptable title to unwind with.

Immortals of Aveum is a fun, bombastic Crysis-like game that has more at home with Call of Duty than anything else; all spells blazing. Nothing is new and its path is well trodden; but what you get is a fun exercise in the formula with stellar cinematics that give the story just the right amount of narrative heft that it needs to thrive. Expect something akin to a summer blockbuster movie – easily digestible; fun in the moment – but you’ll forget this after you’ve completed your playthrough. Hurt by its release coming right out before Starfield that won’t help matters as there are more attractive titles elsewhere; but for those who want to try something new – it’s worth waiting for in a sale.
Immortals of Aveum adds some fresh twists to the formula, but mostly sticks to the basics of the fps genre. The worldbuilding and overall presentation look great, and shooting the different kinds of magic powers feels responsive and fun. But there are some flaws that do retract from the overall experience. The story goes all over the place in terms of tone, and performance wise there is still a lot of progress to be made. In between all the 2023 heavy hitters, Immortals sadly just falls a bit flat.

Immortals of Aveum is a high-quality new AAA IP rarely seen in today's gaming landscape. Its relentless combat, strong worldbuilding, and lighthearted narrative offer a unique perspective as a First Person Magic Shooter. Although one of the most mentioned features of the game was that it was being made on Unreal Engine 5, it does not look particularly stunning or next-gen in most areas. But when it does, it has some of the most impressive-looking landscapes in modern gaming.
Immortals of Aveum is the first project from Ascendant Studios and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just not a high-flyer because the game doesn't get past the border of somewhat entertaining. The story is quite mediocre, the controls are quite counterintuitive on the console and the main missions are linear. There could have been more if it had been given more of an adult touch.

Immortals of Aveum feels like a bunch of different ideas all smushed up together to make one game; none of it feels cohesive or even forms a standout experience. The storyline is something you see coming, although it does it in a way that still makes you want to play it out to see it actually happen, despite the horrible combat and puzzles you have to go through to get there. Despite all of its drawbacks, which is quite an enormous amount, I did somehow find myself enjoying little parts of the game. But just a fraction; not enough to recommend it to people in good faith.
Immortals of Aveum provides a surprisingly lengthy narrative; but with that a rather bloated and repetitive one with magic that while cool, is hard to see with the blurry visuals.
If there is one thing that is clear to us after playing with Immortals of Aveum, it is that we are facing one of this year's GOTY candidates. Although it is not a perfect game, it is extremely fun thanks to its combat system and the development of the story and characters. We definitely recommend it to all lovers of single-player adventures because they will enjoy it enormously.

Immortals Of Aveum has many things going for it, but most importantly it finds a way to breathe fresh air into the FPS genre.
Immortals of Aveum at its core is a fun take on the shooter genre. Yet it quickly bogs itself down with an over-complicated story and an unnecessary gearing system. Set in a new world that’s fun to explore, Aveum has the potential to be a great universe to revisit in the future.
Immortals of Aveum caters to fans of first-person platformers and shooters. Those who have enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy, Atlas Fallen, Forspoken, or even Call or Duty may find the game likable, but it's not for everyone. The challenges aren't too difficult, while the game's structure is too linear, from enemy encounters through main objectives to puzzles. It's not a particularly remarkable game, and like most other things, Immortals of Aveum will soon be forgotten. If you're considering picking it up, you should hold off until it goes on sale.
With its magical combat and intriguing characters, "Immortals of Aveum" is a pretty middle-of-the-road experience, but ultimately worth checking out.
Immortals of Aveum has some real promise, offering a dynamic, fulfilling combat system that makes you think and keeps you on your toes. There’s a rich world offered here, with some beautiful environments and an enjoyable core loop. However, the story, forgettable characters and erratic performance really harm its prospects and hold it back from its full potential.
Fortunately, the combat is fun enough to keep the whole story interesting, but for the rest it is not all. Outside of the Sigils, the loot isn't interesting with just increasing some percentages. The graphics are fine, but you can expect a lot more from a game that uses the Unreal 5 Engine.
