Thanks to Xbox Game Piss I can try out Avowed until Monster Hunter Wilds comes out.

I am not too deep into it yet. The combat is fun. Though with my bad eyesight it is kinda hard to dodge projectiles. I should look into the accessibility settings for this. My character is a wand toting mage who belongs to Ravenclaw.

The world is somewhat interesting. I think it’s too close to the tropey DnD fantasy setting with guns and funghi thrown in but it is alright so far. I have come to not expect too much from AAA games in this department. Writing and voice acting are ordinary too.

Anyone else playing this?

    I don’t mind AA, but I guess they may have lost something with their recent output; I remember The Outer Worlds not being that good.

      The outer worlds world building was cool, the voice acting was nice… I can’t remember the game story at all. The gameplay had only one quality : it existed. The weapon selection could have been cool but it was not. They didn’t weave the good world building they did in the other elements of the game and it was a shame.

      So, I think it’s a lost opportunity of a game. It could have been way cooler with not a lot of efforts. I feel it took some risks while avoiding all the risks a game should take.

      TL;DR : This game is like horseradish. It starts strong then offer no more flavor than what it started with. Then you get tired of that flavor and ask yourself why you are eating horseradish in the first place.
