What an odd title. I'm rating it positively, but there are decent caveats on that rating.

TLDR: Combat is good (battle arenas work fine, it's responsive). Surprising number of puzzles and environmental exploration given it's been compared to COD. Story is totally fine, but not surprising. Sadly, held back by terribly written dialogue and a tendency (even years later) to crash on level transition and during cutscenes (which, I assume, hide loading).

Expanded:

This has been compared to 'fantasy Call of Duty' which is only true inasmuch as it apes Killzone/Call of Duty's tendencies to have massive explosions and set-pieces as backdrop.

In terms of weapons and abilities, you'll be given three 'colours' of weapon pretty early in the story, each of which comes in three varieties... so there are functionally nine weapons in three categories and you pick one of each type from each category to keep equipped at all time. The weapons reload, but ammunition is endless.

Then you eventually get six 'spells', which function as on-cooldown abilities - time slow (twenty seconds where everything moves slowly) and vortex (sucks most enemies to a location and they take more damage for a time) ended up as my preferred ones. You also get three 'abilities' which have a limited number of charges and recharge over time.

You also get an ultimate which functions identically to Iron Man's chest blast and charges as you battle enemies. It's good, but in an odd place since it's unnecessary against mobs and often ineffective against bosses.

Combat is tight, though ended up fairly repetitive once I'd chosen my preferred 'weapons' and sunk upgrade points into my preferred spells. You should expect to be dropped into battle arenas and fight a mixture of enemy types who come in waves - some will be more vulnerable to your red gun, or your green gun, but you can mostly stick to your preferred weapon if you really want to, they generally just end up a little spongy.

On top of combat, there's a remarkable amount of free-roaming environmental exploration for permanent upgrades, unlocks, experience for upgrade points and the like. You end up having a plethora of exploration skills, including a double jump and float (effectively identical to the ones in South of Midnight), grapple ability that targets specific points (not free use), and slow-globs that can slow down some colour-coded items to let you pass or complete puzzles.

There's a few puzzles, which aren't especially difficult, but they break up the monotony of combat.

In terms of environments and level design, you'll battle through lava-filled caves, across floating magically-destroyed islands, and in verdant fields that would suit Albion, while hunting the upgrades I mentioned earlier by jumping, floating, and gliding across levels while timing hitting coloured targets with the right type of gun.

The story here is an oddly pedestrian, with twists that you'll see coming a mile away, and antagonists who act as stupidly as they need to in order to get the story where it's going. But I found it pleasant enough.

So what are the negatives?

First, and foremost, there's a "P3 crash" which seemed to strike mostly at the start of levels, the end of levels and the end of cutscenes. I couldn't see any way to fix it, and searching "P3 aveum crash" on Google returns oodles of results. It's a bit disappointing this hasn't been patched, and saw a heck of a lot of CTDs that didn't need to happen, and some repeated sections which really lowered the experience - especially since you can't skip cutscenes, so you're locked into watching them more than once because of unnecessary crashes.

Second, there's the dialogue which feels completely out of place (at least to me). It feels like they went for 'what if fantasy but modern day' - so the setting is fantastical, but the dialogue feels like it was written to be teenagers talking to each other at the mall. The edgelord setting for swears, the "Marvel quips" (TM), it's all just unnecessary... and that ignores the more common problems of trope statements you can anticipate before they're said "I can't do this alone, we go together or not at all" type stuff, which you've heard a million times.

But, really, that's it.

tried playing game, but even on the lowest settings it felt super choppy like i was missing frames. Choppy game on low settings left a lot to be desired.

I run games like Marvel Rivals and R6 Siege on the highest settings without any fps issues so I know my pc can handle it. Game just doesnt run well for some reason. Tried changing my settings in several ways but couldnt fix whatever the issue was. Hard to enjoy a game that feels so laggy when I've gotten used to smooth gameplay with good visuals

Ill probably download the game again in a couple months and see if its fixed, but until then, do not recommend

its set in a magic punk world like you see in the ff games the story so far has been good to me the game play is really fun haven't had any bugs or crashes so far
