  • graphics716 mentions

    The graphics of "Immortals of Aveum" have received mixed reviews, with many praising the stunning visuals and vibrant art style made possible by Unreal Engine 5. However, players have also noted significant performance issues, high system requirements, and a lack of optimization, leading to crashes and frame rate drops even on high-end hardware. While the game showcases impressive graphical fidelity, some feel that the visuals do not justify the demanding specs, and the overall experience can be hindered by technical shortcomings.

    • “Game art and graphics are next level.”
    • “The graphics are nothing short of impressive, immersing players in a visually stunning world that showcases the potential of next-gen gaming.”
    • “Immortals of Aveum shines with Unreal Engine 5 graphics and a deep magic system, but falls short in narrative depth.”
    • “The game is horribly - if at all - optimized and crashes frequently, at least for me, and I run what is expected - NVIDIA graphics card with 12 GB VRAM, Windows 11 and Intel processor and still the game crashes every 5 - 30 minutes.”
    • “And the graphics are extremely disappointing, I really hope this isn't what we're supposed to expect in future UE5 games - fuzzy everything, because even with a 4090 it's unplayable without DLSS or similar, and even with DLSS there are random frame hitches everywhere.”
    • “Despite running on decent hardware—32GB RAM, Ryzen 5 3600U, and RTX 3060 12GB—I struggled to maintain a consistent 60 FPS even with graphics set to low.”
  • optimization696 mentions

    The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with many players experiencing significant performance issues, including stuttering, crashes, and frame drops, even on high-end systems. While some users report stable performance after tweaking settings, the overall consensus is that the game requires substantial optimization to run smoothly, particularly on lower-end PCs. Despite its engaging gameplay and visuals, the poor optimization detracts from the overall experience, making it difficult to recommend at full price.

    • “The optimization may not be the best but I've seen worse; I haven't gotten a single crash or bug so far in around ten hours.”
    • “The game is well-optimized.”
    • “As of the latest patch, the game's performance is much improved, particularly DLSS without frame generation enabled.”
    • “The game is horribly - if at all - optimized and crashes frequently, at least for me, and I run what is expected - NVIDIA graphics card with 12 GB VRAM, Windows 11 and Intel processor and still the game crashes every 5 - 30 minutes.”
    • “This game is poorly optimized and runs like crap on my Ryzen 9, RTX 3080 PC at 1080p, as it's almost always getting around 45-50 FPS.”
    • “Very disappointed—this game is poorly optimized for the PC to the point of being unplayable.”
  • gameplay602 mentions

    The gameplay in "Immortals of Aveum" is generally well-received, praised for its fun and engaging combat mechanics that blend first-person shooting with magical elements, creating a unique experience reminiscent of titles like "Doom Eternal." However, some players noted issues with enemy design, particularly the prevalence of bullet sponge enemies, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. While the game features a solid progression system and visually appealing graphics, performance issues and repetitive gameplay elements have been highlighted as areas needing improvement.

    • “Gameplay is also very fun: they truly captured the shooter genre and merged it with the spell slinger fantasy in a perfect blend of novelty and familiarity.”
    • “The gameplay loop is a magical shooter with enough ability swaps to keep combat fast-paced and fun.”
    • “The gameplay is super fun with a range of spells, equipment, and a talent tree.”
    • “The gameplay is boring, the characters uninspiring, the dialogue is awful and the combat is jerky, repetitive and aimless.”
    • “The gameplay is uneven, with the combat being satisfying but enemies being all forms of different kinds of spongey late in the game due to RPG elements that aren't fully realized.”
    • “The story seemed like it was going to be decent but the gameplay was just putting me to sleep.”
  • music86 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some praising its epic and magical qualities, while others find it repetitive, generic, or ill-fitting, particularly noting the use of modern hip-hop beats in a fantasy setting. While a few players enjoyed the soundtrack and its integration with gameplay, many criticized it for being bland or forgettable, detracting from the overall experience. Overall, the audio design appears to be a significant point of contention among players.

    • “Excellent music and sound effects!”
    • “I found the music to be suitably epic and 'magical', nothing especially memorable, but it does a solid job.”
    • “Voice-acting is phenomenal and the music is excellent as well.”
    • “Oh and the music is weirdly ill fitting and frankly terrible.”
    • “The music is utterly boring.”
    • “The audio design is really weird since they chose to use modern hip-hop drum beats in the in-game music which is really counter to the fantasy vibe.”
  • humor81 mentions

    The humor in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the witty banter and character interactions that evoke laughter, while others criticize it for being overly reliant on "Marvel movie humor" and quippy dialogue that can feel forced or cringe-worthy. Many appreciate the voice acting and the integration of humor into the storyline, though opinions vary on whether the comedic elements consistently hit the mark. Overall, the humor adds a fun layer to the gameplay, but its effectiveness is subjective, with some finding it genuinely funny and others feeling it detracts from the experience.

    • “The characters are amazing, got me chuckling at the banter.”
    • “I really loved the character interactions, some of the dialogues actually had me audibly laughing from how witty the banter is, the story, while somewhat corny was genuinely fun and took some unexpected turns.”
    • “There are not many games that make me actually laugh out loud but this one did get me a few times, especially whenever Devyn was involved; he is just such a strange and hilariously deadpan character sometimes.”
    • “The humor relies on cliché and unfunny dialogue that fails to engage the player.”
    • “The jokes feel forced and lack originality, making the experience less enjoyable.”
    • “The attempts at humor are overshadowed by underdeveloped game mechanics and a bland story.”
  • stability65 mentions

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing frequent crashes, freezes, and various glitches, particularly when running on high settings. While some users report smooth performance after tweaking settings, others highlight significant stuttering and frame drops that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game is considered fun and visually impressive, but it requires substantial patches to address its stability issues.

    • “After tweaking the graphic settings a bit, the game runs great.”
    • “I am running an i9 19000k with 64GB RAM and 3080 12GB VRAM, the game runs great on ultra 2560x1660.”
    • “[Fantastic combat that blends together several mechanics, fun traversal and well-designed maps to explore, provides plenty of build and play variety while still being challenging, character performances ranged from good to very good, almost entirely bug-free].”
    • “The game runs smooth and looks great then suddenly freezes and crashes.”
    • “Unfortunately it just freezes all the time.”
    • “I have a 7900x3d with a 4090 and the performance is decent (everything maxed at 4k with DLSS quality nets me around 100 fps) but there's quite a bit of stuttering, severe frame drops, image ghosting, graphical artifacts and graphical glitches which bring this game down dramatically unless they do some patching to iron things out.”
  • grinding24 mentions

    Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some find it enjoyable and necessary for upgrading gear and enhancing abilities, others describe it as tedious and repetitive, particularly when it involves destroying the same objects for resources. The game avoids typical pay-to-win mechanics and offers a manageable grind, but questionable design choices can lead to frustration. Overall, grinding is seen as a necessary aspect for progression, though it may detract from the overall experience for some players.

    • “It is not grindy in the slightest, nor does it have any pay-to-win features you would expect from a typical EA game.”
    • “Upgrading gear is not tedious, fortunately, though the UI could use some improvement.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “However, certain resources can only be acquired from chests in these secret areas, and fully upgrading your end-game gear means you need to do some grinding between missions.”
    • “Questionable balancing and design choices bring this from 'not great but alright' to 'tedious and frustrating'.”
    • “And blowing up the same barrels and boxes over and over or the overly ornate chests that contain not so ornate goodies is just tedious.”
  • replayability16 mentions

    Overall, the game offers high replayability, with players enjoying multiple playthroughs and finding it just as engaging each time. The gradual unlocking of new powers encourages exploration of previously visited areas, enhancing the experience. However, some players feel the story lacks depth, which may limit its overall replay value for those seeking narrative-driven entertainment.

    • “I replayed this game 3 times, I think (I don't usually do this), so the replay value is high.”
    • “And yes, replayable and just as fun as the first time around.”
    • “The game slowly reveals more powers which allows you to go to previously explored regions, greatly increasing the replayability.”
    • “The story is a bit lacking, not giving much replay value.”
    • “Especially when you look for 'entertainment' in a game, more than actual replay value.”
    • “You get a complete experience that has replay value woven throughout it.”
  • character development15 mentions

    Character development in "Immortals of Aveum" is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the natural story progression and diverse cast, many criticize the characters as one-dimensional and lacking depth. The main character's minimal growth and the absence of meaningful side missions further detract from the overall experience, leading to disappointment for those seeking a more RPG-like depth in character arcs. Overall, while there are moments of character development, they often feel insufficient compared to the expectations set by other titles in the genre.

    • “Story progression feels natural, and I'd say there's a lot of character development.”
    • “If you like FPS, magic, and character development, you will enjoy Immortals of Aveum.”
    • “The story was enjoyable, the character development was present, and the cast was diverse, talented, and quirky.”
    • “I will say the storyline has been kind of lacking in my opinion; though all the characters are pretty one-dimensional, it's either do the campaign or do some puzzles to get some loot. There are no real side missions for character development or storytelling, which I will say is kind of a disappointment.”
    • “It's not an RPG in the sense that you won't find deep character development and deep impacts on the direction of the developing story.”
    • “Maybe character development and jumping into the magical world was too rough.”
  • emotional14 mentions

    Overall, the emotional aspect of the game received mixed reviews. While some players appreciated the fun combat and occasional strong moments that connected them to the lead character, many criticized the rushed story and lack of emotional depth, describing it as disconnected and lacking significant payoff. The narrative's failure to evoke a strong emotional response left some players feeling disappointed despite enjoying the gameplay experience.

    • “The combat is fun, and I personally liked the characters. The dialogue doesn't take itself too seriously while still having some strong emotional moments that made me connect with the lead character.”
    • “[Unreal Engine 5 graphics can, at times, look breathtaking. Hip-hop and electronic music heighten the fast-paced gameplay. Puzzle-based side quests where you need to interact with your environment are creative. The compelling narrative and acting are strong enough to cause an emotional response.]”
    • “Both ambitious and novel, 'Immortals of Aveum' is a solid first-person action experience, hampered by several minor issues and a narrative that fails to emotionally connect.”
  • monetization3 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game is positively received, with players appreciating the absence of microtransactions and the generous demo that accurately represents the game. Overall, the game's advertising aligns well with its content, contributing to a favorable perception of its value.

    • “I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind paywalls, making it hard to progress without spending extra.”
    • “The constant prompts to purchase in-game currency really detract from the overall experience.”

    • “The atmosphere is incredibly immersive, drawing you into the game's world.”
