What The Hell Happened To Immortals of Aveum?

  • Ascendant Studios' Immortals of Aveum is now available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. It has some high-level Hollywood talent involved and boasts sharp visuals courtesy of Unreal Engine 5.1. However, this magic-based first-person shooter hasn't made much of an impact (and it's not because of Gamescom).
    When you look past the shiny veneer, the tale of Jak and the Order of the Immortals as they battle the overwhelming forces falls somewhat flat. Some of this is due to the dialogue, but the awkward combat and lackluster control options also hurt it.
    With five years of development, triple-A pricing and significant hype, you have to wonder: What happened? Why is Immortals of Aveum average at best and comfortably mediocre at worst? Let's take a closer look.

      @@meh7348 I follow and I didn't even know. Matter of fact I don't even remember seeing this being mentioned anywhere during its development.
      Could it be that it's such a bland-looking product with such a generic, run of the mill world that people genuinely forgot about it until it came out? I believe people when it comes to its gameplay quality, it looks fun, but everything else about it is just so artificial and looks so much like products like Forspoken or other modern fantasy games. I loathe the art direction of the enemies in this, it's more general, non-detailed fantasy schlock that aims to look modern for some reason, falling for the same tropes like a billion glowing particles everywhere. All enemies look like Destiny 2 / Horizon, always-metal-helmet-on npcs with random glowing basic shapes for crying out loud.
      It doesn't have an identity of its own and that's why I don't remember anyone ever knowing it existed prior to its release. Half the visuals are small and big metal men with primary color square tattoos man, the entire thing is so boring and it's been done to death, going back to even God of War.

    I'm 16 hours into the game, and it doesn't come close to being a "disaster". This game has been a diamond in the rough for me, and pays homage to Metroid Prime games but with magical weapons. Playing on the PC version and get a steady 70-90FPS on 4K at high settings. It has its rough moments with the storytelling and some dialogue, but overall, it's worthy of being considered a AAA title. Being the first UE5 game for my rig, it certainly is equivalent to when I first ran Crysis on my PC way back when.

      Lol something isn't "considered AAA" because it has decent graphics or frame rate, or how well it runs overall. How rough a game's dialogue is also has nothing to do with whether it's AAA or not. The only thing that defines AAA is budget when making it, and additionally often that it's produced by a large publisher. It has nothing at all to do with subjective quality or enjoyment.

      Yah the scoring system is completely broken. A game is only considered buyable if it’s an 8 or higher. We might as well just have a 4 number scoring system. 7 being trash, 8 being ok, 9 being great, and 10 being masterpiece. That’s how players and the industry already view it. How many groans of disappointment do we hear for every release that ‘only’ gets a 7? That should be well above average. But apparantly it’s ‘unplayable garbage’ and ‘a disaster’. Lol.

    The game is very well-produced - it just feels like it was made without fully understanding its audience. It looks and sounds like like a Marvel TV show you can play. For some that’s great but many people are sick of the Marvel formula and its style of humor. It doesn’t help that the game is relatively short, is a bit generic lore-wise, and doesn’t have Multiplayer.

    • @stevemac6707
      @stevemac6707 Před 6 měsíci +2

      You hit the nail in the head, the story is meh at best. Generic fantasy stuff not done particularly well and the dialogue is outright atrocious. Cringe inducing in fact, the fact there is no save system and you can't skip cutscenes makes it even worse, more so if you decide to restart a chapter because it will take you back to the very start of it and make you watch them all again. I would honestly say it's worse than Marvel, every joke falls flat, the world is almost conquered but everyone is throwing bad quips around and nearly every character is outright unlikeable. I recently bought the game but the longer I have played the more these things are just outright spoiling the game and it's a shame because it really had potential to be something very good and instead we got a fairly mediocre game.

Maybe video games aren't for you. Those child marvel movies might be more your skill set. They also have a simpler x-to-y story that is easier for a brain like yours to follow.

    Seems to me like they should've lowered the scope/budget.

No one's going to care about a random $80 game in this current economy if its overshadowed by BG3/Starfield.

But once you actually start paying attention it looks pretty rough at times. There are alottt of low poly textures, the framerate is rough at times. And the 720P internal resolution really is a bad choice, any time your moving around the FSR makes everything look so low resolution and fuzzy. So yes it can be a looker, but it’s not nearly as visually polished as it should be

    I’ve been really enjoying the game. I’ve had 3 full days of solid gameplay, and if you are taking the time to engage with all the puzzles and actually enjoy everything there is on offer, it’s a good experience. The gameplay is phenomenal and I would love to see more systems like these put into a first person shooter.
    I’m playing on PS5 and start to finish have only experienced one game crash, and maybe a small handful of frame rate drops.
    Overall I’ve been very happy with my experience and would advise people to give it a shot. It’s definitely worth waiting for a sale because it might be on the shorter side, especially if you bypass all the puzzles, but even paying full price I’m satisfied with the experience.

    Wait so you said “only dragon I’ve seen so far”… does that mean you made a review of a game after only playing 5% of the game?! Like that’s practically a tutorial boss…. -_-
    So I had never even heard of the game until seeing it free on PSN, and figured I’d check it out… ya know what it reminds me of? Jedi Fallen Order! It’s like practically the same game just sub magic lasers for light sabres… I am actually blown away by this game! I had extremely low expectations just cause it was free and most free PSN games are terrible… so I had planned on deleting it after tutorial if it didn’t catch me… but I gave it a chance and boy am I happy I did! Just beat it earlier tonight and man does it have some cool and epic cinematics!!! I didn’t really care for the “funny jokes” but fair enough… the combat is so good and rewarding it totally makes up for a lame quip here and there. And the audio/music is insane!
    I also really love how every time you leave a place and come back, there are different enemies, different loot/chests that spawn etc. So it’s not like “oh damn I have to go through an area I already cleared before(boring)… you’ll come back to an area you have already been and surprise, now there’s a bossfight with some legendary loot because you revisited the area! Really well thought out there!
    Performance wise the only problems I encountered was the game crashed twice when I was in the fast travel menu and was skipping around between portals to figure out which I wanted to take. Almost like it starts pre-loading the region you’re hovering on before you actually click it, so it gets overwhelmed when you click around too fast or something.
    I know Jedi fallen order was another free PsN game that blew me away, but to anybody reading who is on the fence for this game, definitely go for it! And if you’re a dark souls type, there are a lot of “lore” documents you can pick up and read in addition to the main storytelling.

    This game was good for 10-12 hours. Then after completing it there is no replayability. You can’t start the game over with your skills and weapons (maybe on a harder difficulty). It leaves you with a objective “tie up loose ends”, with no instruction in where to find these loose ends. It was awesome for 10-12 hours, but when the story ends the game is over.

  • @jordondraggon1459
    @jordondraggon1459 Před 10 měsíci +4

    Reason i didn't buy this game is 1. Ea didn't lift review embargos early. Led me to cancel my pre-order as the only reason they would do that is because they didnt have faith in the game. It's not a 100% certainty that when a dev does this, it means the game will be bad. But it doesn't help with confidence or exposure pre game release.
    2. Lack of replayability and game modes. To me the golden era of games was the golden era because they actually felt like games that were made to have FUN not just be a really really good campaign. But modes that you could fuck around with to take a break from the game have fun, and play the game in a different and exhilarating way, maybe even with friends. Sure i love good campaigns and from what i hear this games lands well. But for 69.99 pounds, there is no way im buying if all i get is a campaign, especially if it's a new IP.
    Personally if it had a horde mode, or just some other game mode that had separate progression it would of been a instant buy from me. I get that games are getting harder to make due to the narrative and graphical side. But those aspects have zero impact on the gameplay; and hence these products are called GAMES, that to me personally should be put first.

    when I completed a task when I started to do it omg blacksod! AAAAA!! & I had to shut that window down with the task manager... surprised me because I built this about 1 1/2 yrs ago now & that has never happened in a game to me on this unit b4... well ummm or since
    but it looks great, runs great, & it's fun & I loves me some Gina Torres in any way shape or form :)

    I know this video was made before Starfield came out and hindsight is 20/20. This game is much more enjoyable than Starfield is. It's a fun throw-back to late 90s / early 2000s linear story-based shooters along with modern crafting mechanics and cut scenes. It's not perfect, but it is a breath of fresh air once you get your settings dialed in. Is this a $70 game? No. Is it a great $30 game? YES!

    This game uses lumen lighting. That means that the shadows of this game looks amazing, but unless you have a GPU that has RT cores then you can expect poor performance. Lumen is impressive technology and save a ton of time lighting a game, and it will be the future of lighting, but currently I think that most hardware is not ready for a world to be lit my lumen. Overall I would not say that this is a poorly optimized game, but more so a game that uses technology too ahead of its time. Kind of like Crysis.
