I just finished Immortals of Aveum. I really liked the story. Felt like an early 2000 science fiction action movie. It’s gorgeous looking but the shooting didn’t have enough oomph to be really fun, so I stopped playing after the credits rolled. Didn’t feel the need to 100% it.

I will look it up but please feel free to elaborate, it sounds cool.

It has a lot of Doom-like exploration for new gear and other goodies. Also a handful optional bosses which are pretty hard to beat. But the shooting revolves around basically 3 weapon types (magic types in this case): a DMR, an SMG and a shotgun. The variations thereof don’t feel different enough and the feedback lacks kick, so the shooting doesn’t feel very meaty. It’s still solid enough, but the story is definitely what carried me through the 20ish hours of the game.

Interesting. I heard the main character is insufferable. Would you disagree or is the story good in spite of him?

The characters are great. It’s not BG3 obviously, but there’s some depth there. Like I said, it’s on the level of a good action movie plot from 20 years ago. No ones gonna get an oscar but you’ll be entertained nonetheless.
