ill be trying Immortals of Aveum since i have been waiting for it to be very cheap since i heard its not a very good game.

thesoftware73031d ago

It's a good game, and a couple of weeks ago, it was on sale for about $8.

I am enjoying it.

Christopher31d ago

It's an okay mediocre shooter-style game with typical RPG bloat. It dragged on way longer than it should have, though. If you're not looking to play only 'the best' it will definitely be enjoyable.

thesoftware73031d ago

I agree, not the best, not the worst.

I did really enjoy the acting, and the spell effects, and the nice graphics. It was also kinda cool so have some much effects popping while still controlling like a standard FPS.

VenomUK31d ago

Minecraft Legends? Now a first party Xbox game that is free to Game Pass subscribers will be free to PS Plus subscribers.

It makes me wonder if Microsoft could do this again in the future with other non high profile games.

Soy31d ago

It falls in that "I don't regret playing it, it was fine" category. It got the basics right at least. Just nothing all that memorable.

jznrpg31d ago

Wanted to play the Immortals of Aveum but I didn’t want to pay much for it so I’ve waited .
I’ll check it out on plus if I actually like it I’ll buy a physical copy sometime. Never heard of Skul I’ll try that as well. Minecraft Legends is crappy my kids played it for a little bit but gave up on it fairly quick. MS can’t even please little kids that’s how bad they are with most games.

thesoftware73031d ago

Stop lying. You won't buy a copy of Immortals. They have had a long demo out for this game for a very long time, since launch or close after I believe, and the game has gone on sale many, many times, not to mention all the videos and walkthroughs you could have used to gauge if it was your cup of tea.

It comes with a service that you are already paying for, and it's a good game, not stellar, but just good, and you wanna claim you gonna go buy it physically? I call BS; you are attempting to cover your GamePass-hating propaganda, but at the same time, feel self-conscious about loving the same shit on PS+..so your front, "I'm gonna go buy this physical," lol.

I just bought it a few weeks ago for $8...I was waiting for a good sale or for it to come to one of the 2 sub-services I pay for to play it.

isarai31d ago

There is no PS5 demo, wtf are you talking about?

Crows9031d ago

Stop passing judgement on what you clearly don't know

thesoftware73031d ago

@Isarai,
No, wtf are you talking about?

"First-person "magic shooter" Immortals of Aveum is free to try courtesy of an all-new demo.

The free trial is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and gives you a chance to sample the opening three chapters for yourself."

@ Crows,
What are you talking about? Passing judgment? Not really, calling out hypocrisy.

I just told you what I know, and I know that comment he made was full of ish. I'm not quite sure what you are claiming I don't know...but ok, be vague, and make an asinine comment about passing judgment.

redknight8030d ago

Yeah, lol - who in the bloody hell would buy a physical copy of a so-so game they were so hugely on the fence with when it comes out completely free to play. I suppose if they do REALLY fall in love with it then sure, one could buy a physical copy but yeah, I just also find that unlikely when you get the full game to play for free unless they are the type of person to start and stop services like this often and for extended periods.

@theaoftware730

Oh please, like how many people were going to spot the article from months ago that informs you to make an EA Access account, download the app, generate a voucher code, THEN redeem it on PSN. Get real dude

thesoftware73030d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Huh? what?

It wasn't one article; it was advertised in many places, including storefronts. I just pulled this one to give a source; are you okay?
Wow, man, I'm not even going to respond to the rest of that junk you typed because it makes no sense. Just say you were wrong and move on; you are making yourself look silly. It went from no demo, to some mumbo jumbo speak that you attempted. It's okay; we all are wrong sometimes, move on.

poppatron31d ago

Great month! Buzzing to try immortals, would never of paid money for it but have always watched from sidelines knowing there’s a chance I may really like it!

thesoftware73031d ago (Edited 31d ago )

Yeah, I felt a similar way, after I played the free trial/demo I thought it had some fun mechanics.

It had a fair amount of sales on it, and once I saw $8 I jumped on it. So far it's been fun, a cool amount of customization, ok story, really good acting and graphics.

It will take a bit of time to get use to the light show when in combat, but once you do, it's nice to look at. The controls play like a standard FPS, but the spells, and effects give it a different feel.

ReignMan_2731d ago

Had a feeling Immortals of Aveum was going to come to Plus when I bought the Digital Deluxe Edition for $20 a couple weeks ago. Need to start listening to my gut more.

Relientk7731d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I actually wanted to give Immortals of Aveum a shot, but for really cheap or preferably free. I think the game launched at $70, yikes lol

blackblades31d ago

Apparently as soon as I ended my sub thats when they have games I wanna try 😆

darthv7231d ago

...you didn't download the demo?

shinoff218346d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name46d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno46d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno46d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure46d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
