Immortals of Aveum Review
Ойындар
Immortals of Aveum reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
"Immortals of Aveum is an impressively confident first-person shooter that successfully trades muzzles and magazines for mages and magic. Its fast-paced, spellcasting combat is both satisfying to master and spectacular to look at, and it features a lengthy and hearty campaign packed with secrets to keep us going well after the story has wrapped. As someone who desperately hopes that unapologetically single-player shooters will live forever, these Immortals have done a great job of making sure they’re definitely not dead yet."

Seems like single player shooters are in real crisis when being singleplayer is considered a merit by itself. And BTW if you look at Steam reviews you can see your "best reviewer at IGN" has overvalued the game quite a bit.

Ah man, just love youtube's compression, totally not screwing over the bitrate on non-premium users, they swear it
Never even heard of this game until now
Seems like GhostWire Tokyo but in Hunger Games
3hrs gameplay in and its a fun game. Get past the initial training mission and it gets more exciting. Highly recommend to play
Crazy that the studio behind this game just laid off 50 people due to poor sales of Aveum. From the looks and sounds of this review, the game seems amazing. At least the game will probably be on sale for $10-20 within the year.

The game is unnecessarily difficult even on apprentice. Make me wonder, who are they making does games for? The very few hard-core games, the many casual games or themselves? There's a difficulty system for a reason. Coping other developers concept, and whatever happened to aim assist? All lower level enemies have better shields and aim. 60% completion and im already over this game. Magnus rank 40 and struggling, what is the point of levelling up? If I'm not getting stronger but the enemies are... im done! Delete! Waste of my money
