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?
But they’re totally fine with charging $70 for their “AA” game, Jesus. I will admit I don’t know much about Avowed in particular but as someone who’s played Pillars and Deadfire, seeing this release and the response be either mixed/negative or just obsidian fans downplaying it’s shortcomings as “AA” is really irritating. They shouldn’t charge this much after developing it for so many years only to put out a low quality title.
