    Ho giocato a Immortals Aveum al inizio sembrava un bel gioco ma col passare delle ore si è visto la natura del gioco molto ripetitivo in tutto pieno di bug che mi hanno reso difficile finire il gioco come sparatutto a fallito, storia abbastanza carina mai esaltate l'unica cosa che ha funzionato sono gli enigmi ne troppo difficili ne troppi facili erano enigmi stimolanti, i personaggi sonoHo giocato a Immortals Aveum al inizio sembrava un bel gioco ma col passare delle ore si è visto la natura del gioco molto ripetitivo in tutto pieno di bug che mi hanno reso difficile finire il gioco come sparatutto a fallito, storia abbastanza carina mai esaltate l'unica cosa che ha funzionato sono gli enigmi ne troppo difficili ne troppi facili erano enigmi stimolanti, i personaggi sono ben caratterizzati soprattutto i personaggi principali invece il mondo sembra tutto morto npc sono di 10 anni fa sia come modelli e come vita se tu li sparì di forma una bolla di bruciatura e loro fanno come se non sta succedendo nulla , fermi nello stesso punto per ore senza alcuna possibile interazione sono inesistenti, davvero mi sono trovato un gioco davanti davvero terribile.… Expand

    Combat has some interesting options available, with each Color serving a purpose. Exploration can be entertaining when the puzzles make sense. Solid art direction and an intriguing setting. Some strong performances from the cast.

    Bad-
    Image quality and distant details become issues, muddling the overall presentation. Narrow FoV becomes headache-inducing. Horrendous dialogue at times, which disrupts the tone and kills any interest in what's going on. Annoying controls, from the lack of options to an unintuitive switching between Colors. Repetitive encounters. Visibility issues due to all the spell-flinging and general chaos.

    Thoughts-
    Overall, Immortals of Aveum has left me with mixed feelings. While the technical issues can be fixed with more time and polish, some inherent design decisions are baffling more than anything else. The story has some intriguing set pieces and an epic scale, driving home the nature of the conflict, but its tone often veers off course in favor of inane humor. Even some of the likable characters can’t escape from it. A satisfying gameplay loop could have made up for it or provided a compelling reason to continue. However, the iffy aiming and weird control scheme, not to mention the repetitive nature of most encounters, doesn’t feel great. It is somewhat fun to explore and see what secrets lie in wait, but the moment-to-moment combat needs some tuning. More variety in how encounters work also would have been ideal. As uninteresting as he can be, the best analogy for the game is ironically Jak himself. When pushed to deliver a heroic speech, he fumbles awkwardly, references some events we’re supposed to care about, and then ends resolutely on…something. It works, but it’s not the best, and you hope for something more to build off of this while continuing to be thoroughly whelmed.    … Expand

    Story is bad, but the action is straight-forward and fun.

    Set in a rich universe constructed down to the smallest detail, Immortals of Averum becomes an unexpected magnus whose potential is yet to be uncovered.

    An engaging mixture of combat, exploration, and puzzles, Immortals is an excellent debut from Ascendant Studios that hits at even more promising things to come.
