I started playing Immortals Of Aveum before watching any final review of the game. Finished it and then watched the reviews.
Honestly, loved the game, and the reviews seemed to be negative from the get-go with the main point of having “nothing particularly new”. Yeah probably but that doesn’t make the game bad lol. It was actually fun and engaging, at least to me.
I stopped trusting reviewers long time ago and just watching em for kicks and giggles. Everyone has a different taste and that’s okay.
