Immortals is.. decent. I'd agree with others here that it's probably a 6 or 7 out of 10. For the positives, the shooting action is pretty good, the 'guns' are pretty fun to use and it feels satisfying blasting bad dudes with magic. The environments also look good and it's definitely cool to look around the world as you explore. So far from what I've played, there's a decent amount of enemy variety and different upgrades to change up your guns a bit.

For the negatives.. my god the performance hurts. Immortals is a pretty game sure, but it's far from the prettiest game I've played, and yet it runs really poorly. I've got a 3070Ti and I play at 1440p which should be absolutely fine for this and yet it really chugs sometimes. I get random fps drops down to 10 or 20 fps while not doing anything at all and often I'm struggling to maintain a solid 60. This game needs some serious optimization. Oh and the protagonist is a super entitled teenager who thinks he's the biggest legend the world has ever seen.. kinda annoying.

Outside of the performance though, the main issue really is that the game just doesn't really stand out. Immortals is sitting in a genre which has had SO many absolute bangers in the last few years. From Doom, Doom Eternal and the upcoming Doom the Dark Ages, to Wolfenstein, Dusk, Ultrakill, Prodeus, Forgive me Father, Amid Evil if you want the magic feel or BPM and Robobeat if you want music too. There's just so many awesome singleplayer boomer and arena shooters, and Immortals is.. fine. I just don't really understand why you'd play this rather than loading up anything else. Sure you'll have a bit of fun, but wouldn't you rather have more fun..?

So yeah sure, at a steep discount or the EA subscription, give it a whirl like I did. But I would never buy this full price.
