He's an Obsidian now... that's what they did with Avowed. Like they had a lot of like very unnecessary gamification elements of that that were completely unnecessary.

Overall, I would say this is a very good update... Avowed has had some great improvements.

Overall I would say Avowed is steadily getting better via a host of free updates that have added much requested features to the game and just sort of slowly built on that initial base. And while I don't think any of these individual updates are particularly revolutionary or bound to change anyone's mind, I do still think they are good updates.

By and large I had a great time with Avowed... for all of those reasons together the game gets a buy out of me.

it just feels like the complete package everywhere you look every single view is absolutely gorgeous the voice acting is top-notch the music is lovely the weapons feel great like every single combat style is very very satisfying

avow feels like a game you've played before it feels just like content... I think you know these studios are scared to make truly demanding games... it is disappointing

It's the game that you play while you're waiting for a better game to come along, and from a studio as storied and as talented as Obsidian, that's a big disappointment.

so far AOW rules it really does the writing is crisp and its role playing systems are deep and flexible enough to give you real choice

Worth A Buy

There's too many negatives for me to enjoy this... it's one of them games that just didn't work for me.

I think Avowed is a pretty good game when it works, but it doesn't work right now, at least for me, and as a result I cannot recommend it to you, at least not until they've patched it.

it's not the worst game ever made but I did just find it to be so utterly forgettable you can barely string a thought together

WOW

I would probably go for a 10-point scale on this and I think I'd put this right at around a nine out of 10. I think this is really fun.

if you have Game Pass, this is well worth checking out right away. When it comes up for sale ... I personally had a great time with this.
