Our review of Immortals of Aveum:

Playing time: 22h, story finished.

What to make of this game, which went somewhat incognito during the summer of 2023... ? Plenty of positive things overall, starting with its intuitive, easy-to-handle gameplay. A gameplay that even allows itself the luxury of being 100% fun, bordering on gruelling, and that's all we've come to expect from this opus through the use of magic! Magic that should appeal to all lovers of the mystic arts, with certain spells reminiscent of those used by the Marvel wizard, both in gesture and in the runes appearing in the air, producing shields, classic shots or bursts of fire.

As for the story, it promises some nice twists and turns that we didn't see coming (well, not all of them), even though we're thrown right into a narrative that we don't fully understand at first. It's a bit rough, but if you stick with it, you'll get the hang of it. It's neither too long nor too short, and the plot is sufficiently fast-paced to keep the player on the edge of his seat. And there are plenty of puzzles scattered around the map, promising hours of additional gameplay.

A rather well-written story, too. A special mention for the really gripping French-language version. In short, Immortals of Aveum is a highly enjoyable game, ideal for those who like their gameplay lively and a bit gritty. All that's left is for you to make up your own mind, folks!

Video game fans can already mark August 22, 2023 in their calendars and get ready to dive intoAveum's epic adventure. So get set!
