After 5 years in development and heavily pushing Unreal Engine 5 technologies, Immortals of Aveum was met with a whopping 751 player peak. For reference, Forspoken was considered a flop but still had over 12,000 players peak total. This may be the biggest flop of the year.

    The story is good in Halo, but you really discount that 1-3 were basically the best shooter experience available at the time.

      Halo was one of the first console fps games that got the controls right. Before Halo, FPS games were only really good on the PC (though some console ones like Goldeneye and PD were good despite bad controls). Mouse and keyboard are still supreme, but Halo’s one stick looks one stick moves scheme brought consoles out of that awkward to control range.

      Moving around effectively in Goldeneye or PD was an art. In Halo, like PC games, it was natural.
