    An actually decent game with surprisingly fun combat, that really gets dragged down by its boring story and super generic and unlikeable characters.
    If they had dialed down the focus on the story, I would given it a much higher rating. At least the visuals are pretty good.

    18 hours into the game and im enjoying it. The first 5-6 hours are no fun and annoying because tutorials and jak calling kirkan "sir" when kirkan is female and in kirkans bio she has her/she pronouns but she wants to be called sir, you get used to it after some hours though, Enough with the ESG DIE garbage because it takes me out of the fantasy. Graphics a bit grainy but nice on the eyes,18 hours into the game and im enjoying it.

Graphics a bit grainy but nice on the eyes, music is kind of cool, the gameplay is actually very good with the magic shooting. I think the gameplay and magic shooting is strong and keeps me engaged. Biggest complaint i personally think is the characters and their dialog. I would still recommend this game to anyone who sees this but maybe, if your broke,wait for it on sale or when it comes to Playstation +… Expand

    Review for Immortal of Aveum:

    I absolutely love the combat in this fps/fantasy game! It's incredibly fun and keeps you on your toes with its fast-paced action. The visuals throughout the game are stunning, creating a captivating world to explore. While the story may not be groundbreaking, it's still entertaining and keeps you engaged. It reminds me a bit of Marvel's Eternal, which adds    Review for Immortal of Aveum:

    I absolutely love the combat in this fps/fantasy game! It's incredibly fun and keeps you on your toes with its fast-paced action. The visuals throughout the game are stunning, creating a captivating world to explore. While the story may not be groundbreaking, it's still entertaining and keeps you engaged. It reminds me a bit of Marvel's Eternal, which adds to the excitement. I can understand why this game might receive mixed reviews, as it combines elements from both Call of Duty and Destiny. However, if you're a fan of fantasy games, I believe you'll thoroughly enjoy Immortal of Aveum.

    Strengths:
    - The combat is a blast and keeps you engaged.
    - The visuals are breathtaking, creating a mesmerizing world.
    - The characters are cool and add depth to the gameplay.
    - Fun puzzles.

    Weaknesses:
    - The storyline is mediocre, but still manages to entertain.
    - Once you finish the game, there isn't much replay value.

    The final verdict for Immortal of Aveum would be 7 out of 10. The game offers an enjoyable experience with its captivating storyline, stunning graphics, and immersive gameplay. Additionally, it features some very fun puzzles that are not too challenging, adding an extra layer of excitement to the overall gameplay experience.    … Expand

    Another mediocre AA game asking AAA price for entry.

    Combat is okay but merely replacing guns with different color spells doesn't make me feel like a "bad ass battle mage" -- just a dude using fingerguns. I'd argue that Tiny Tina's Wonderlands did a better job making guns and spells feel more unique and interesting than anything Immortals of Aveum does.

    Combat is okay but merely replacing guns with different color spells doesn't make me feel like a "bad ass battle mage" -- just a dude using fingerguns. I'd argue that Tiny Tina's Wonderlands did a better job making guns and spells feel more unique and interesting than anything Immortals of Aveum does. The story is just absolute nonsensical tripe, loads of random crap and proper nouns thrown at you throughout the whole thing with cringe dialog from the protagonist and NPCs. Absolutely nothing about the story hooked me into the world. The puzzles, as simple as they are, were the best parts of the game, in my opinion. The game is also pathetically short: Took me about 15 hours from start to finish doing most of everything there was to do in the game. Might be able to tack on an hour or two if I go back to finish up all the trophies but I can't be bothered.There's no replay value either, nothing that changes the story of the game, nothing different to experience in multiple playthroughs

    Graphically I could tell there were frame drops and stutters but there was something else about the game's visuals that were poor that I couldn't quite put my finger on. At least not until Digital Foundry did their deep dive and revealed that the game is running at a FSR2 upscaled version of 720p. *720p!* Upscaling to 4K from a 720p image, especially on my 65" QLED screen, results in an abysmal image quality with loads of texture shimmering, distance blur, and jagged edges. And the game has no HDR? As a "next gen" only title?

    When games like Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield, Zelda: ToTK, and Spider-Man 2 are asking $70 with massive loads of content and replay value, asking $70 for a middling overall game that only lasts 15 hours is a joke. It's basically a glorified tech demo, and it's not even great at that. Already resold it for most of what I paid for it and won't bother with it again unless it ends up free on PS+ or EA Play. I don't recommend wasting your money. If you're really interested, wait until November when you'll probably find it for twenty bucks.    … Expand

    Also man hat schon spaß am Spiel nur ist die ganz Welt für mich so uninteressant das ich sie auch nicht erkunden möchte. Es gibt nur sehr wenig Charaktere die mich überzeugen können und der Protagonist ist auch nicht besonderes spannend.

    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.

    You can certainly have your fun with Immortals of Aveum – its world is unique and there simply aren’t enough magic shooters of this caliber out there. The bugs are annoying, and have hopefully been patched by the time you’re reading this, but if not, you’ll have to have a little patience with the game. It’s not a must-play shooter – better battles as the game progresses instead of a “more is better” philosophy towards enemies and more freedom to experiment with different spell combos rather than just matching colors would help, as well as more interesting and challenging puzzles.

    Wholly uninspired and painfully dull, this is a shambolic effort that squanders the potential of its solid FPS foundations through dated design and technical issues. [Issue#32, p.81]
