powerful and immersive, but can use work.
ok so negs and some mixing stuff as you asked:
the snare roll is a little weak if you ask me. try varying the frequency of the hits more, centering it on the mix and getting rid of the dramatic reverb, and maybe choosing a different sound for the snare, if u asked me.
the synth that starts at :28 is pretty loud on the mix
the claps get lost at around that point
1:38 has like no transition and the synths you used just flat out sounded out of place and outside of the deep, pensive vibes of the song--i wish it stayed subdued instead of becoming so euphorically depressing.
throughout the song, it never really built up in tension or anything. it was intense, dont get me wrong, but the intensity was just like a 5 minute long climax instead of having anything to really look forward to. i think that also had to do with how the song always felt like it was wondering [journey of ages? i guess]. but yeah, it didn't really seem to keep me going very long even with its variations.
and in terms of variety, it changed sonically, but the melody never really progressed--it was more like the same exact theme throughout with different instruments, so my interest got lost.

good stuff:
the progression is very nice! deep and strong haha. i love the bassline in that respect, deep enuf to get my bones shakin a bit :D
more or less strong synth sounds throughout [except for a few that didn't really go with the vibes of the song, which i stated in the cons]
everything else sounds more or less mixed well and it is totally clear. sound effects are strong and mighty, i like! good job!

so overall, i think you basically got a strong empowering feel, but it wasn't built up to very well and didn't hold my attention very long. its a good song, mind you, but it could use work on that aspect. nice job, and i hope i helped :)
