Get the game on sale. This game is very much a folk hero's fantasy who likes politics intertwined with pantheons. If you're not here for a chosen one plot though, the sheer responsibility behind every decision will become exhausting; having to decide the fates of EVERYONE ALL THE TIME gets obnoxious. While the writing might feel dry, these characters felt like real people; I believed them when they talked. It felt good to help these characters and communities. Characters also stand up for their own judgements within reason. Felt like my choices had weight. The RPG elements felt too much like they were trying to please everyone that it diluted any challenge it could offer. I eventually just picked perks and weapons for their aesthetics with only the mildest of challenge with blocks and parries. At the very least, those aesthetics are rewarding. But each combat will eventually feel routine. Each overworld map also has a repetitive roomba routine. Task to task to task, fill checkmarks. The bounty board here, the treasures there, all sidequests have the mildest of twists and turns. It can very often feel like filler. It's not a bad game, it's just an okay game; that doesn't make a game bad. But it would feel bad if you bought this game for $50 instead of $20.
I was one of the most avid haters of this game when it was first released, because it failed to satisfy my hype, which wanted this game to be the second coming of Skyrim. A year has passed and I decided to give this game another run, with a correct expectation this time: a semi open-world fantasy RPG with focus on gameplay and exploration. And I have been greatly enjoying the game so far this time. Recently I've grown tired of all the open world games and Avowed feels like a breath of fresh air. It offers great vertical exploration without the horde of POI markers on the map. There are no dynamic events, NPCS don't move at all, the game world feels truly static. It may come as disadvantages to many people, but it will become a convenience if you just want to return the quest or buy/sell items and go on with your exploration. It has all the stuff you can think of from a deep RPG: dialogue skill check, crafting, cooking, enchanting, companions, branching quests, attribute points and abilities, etc. but none of them is deep enough to call Avowed a deep RPG. Instead, they feel like add-ons to the exploration mechanics. The game doesn't want to hold your legs at anything for too long and urge you to go back to the exploration, which is, again, really great. Plus, the combat is awesome, especially in first person, heavy weapon is slow and punchy, range is fast and tactical, magic is chaotic and well...magical. One great thing is that there are so many weapon types and you can create a tons of of fun builds: gun mage with gun in one hand and grimoire in another, spellsword with sword and grimoire , typical sword and shield with an arquebus as backup, a pure mage with grimoire and wand, an Achilles-inspired warrior with shield and spear, more and more, it's really WILD and FUN. However, one thing I don't enjoy much from the gameplay is the third person view, which is also decent but it feels a bit floaty and the animation is sometimes stiff and abrupt. You can clearly tell that third person gameplay is not the focus of the game (although the Devs said otherwise). So, a bit disappointment for 3rd person fans out there like me, but it's totally serviceable if you really want to experience it. In the end, Avowed feels like a convenient and cozy game, everything is built around accessibility. Obsidian probably sit around and said "Hey let's make the most cohesive RPG ever in Eora setting" and this is it. It feels fun and engaging, if you don't expect it to be the greatest RPG ever.
I held off on buying this do to the mixed reviews and $70 price tag but I finally got around to playing during one of the sales. While not worth $70, it is a really decent game. With the right settings, it can run pretty smoothly on the steam deck. I've heard a lot about how the game doesn't react to you but that's been a very misleading statement. You just can't kill npc's but that's not a big deal since you will rarely spend your time in these hub areas. The combat is incredibly reactive. enemies will dodge and react to being shot or hit with sword or spells, depending on the enemy. The combat is challenging and very well done. I was initially expecting a medicore skyrim but this game plays like a first person version of Pillars Of Eternity. The enemies are varied and very interesting. Each enemy type feels unique to their region. It's a must play if you're a PoE fan and at least worth trying if you like games like skyrim.
This review is primarily for people who aren't familiar with the series this came from. I waited until I could get Avowed on sale before I purchased it. Even after that, I took a bit more time to play it because I was preoccupied with other games. During that time, Obsidian released several major patches that addressed various issues I'm told it had during and after launch. As of my current playthrough, the game is definitely worth trying out. In Avowed, your character is born a godlike: A special individual tied to one of the many gods of the realm. Godlikes tend to have visual qualities that make their god patron easily identifiable--yours do not. Fast forward to adulthood. You have been conscripted by the Aedyran emperor to be an ambassador to The Living Lands: An area of the world that your people are in the process of colonizing. Something similar to a plague is overtaking the land and you must go there to stop it, as well as deal with the unrest between the land's natives and your colonizing brethren. Sound familiar? Then you must have played Greedfall. Yes, the premise isn't exactly original, but I have been impressed with a lot of the features of Avowed. It is an open world RPG with a lot of nooks and crannies to explore, lore to discover, loot to find, and choices to make. I absolutely love games that let me choose how to handle seemingly delicate or serious situations. It always encourages me to play again just to see what would happen if I made a different choice. Unlike Bethesda games, Avowed doesn't clutter the game world with lootable items; it's still rich and well detailed, but only items that will benefit your character can be picked up. There is no theft system, but expect NPCs to talk about you if you do take something you're not supposed to. NPCs have reacted to things I've done in the game world, much to my amusement. For example: I walked up to a wall in town that could be blown up and threw a bomb at it. It made a hole, but then an NPC nearby berated me for not just walking around the wall. Sure enough, I looked and saw that if I had paid attention, I could have walked around the wall instead of destroying it. Oops. Your gear can also be taken along for the ride with you simply by upgrading it. I like the idea of taking a favored weapon and continuing to use it by making it more powerful. If you decide to switch gear, transmog can at least give you the appearance of your beloved old items. I have felt thoroughly rewarded by just wandering around the area map. Gameplay settings are customizable to make things more fun and challenging, or simpler and more accessible. My particular favorite feature is one that shows when treasure isn't far away from you, and whether or not it is above or below you. I still have to look for it but at least that combined with an audio cue lets me know that I'm not searching in vain. Is it worth $70? In my humble opinion, no game is. I don't say that as a matter of fact; I say that as someone who knows they cannot afford games that costly. Gaming is a luxury, and I am patient enough to wait until the ones I want go on a decent enough sale. But when it does go on sale, I recommend checking it out. The game is good. Not a "Skyrim Killer", whatever that means, but definitely worth your time.
