Avowed

Just finished my first playthrough. Loved it. Combat is fun and the story is gripping. Definitely worth the price.

Pros: - nice looking world which fun to explore -good combat -many ways to build your char (respec everything for litteraly no cost) -decisions that matter and have impact - likeable companiens and npcs -game runs smooth Cons: - a little to much of dialouge - game is a bit woke (but not as woke as some influncer said) - no real cutscenes just moving art -combat should have been deeper and more of it in general Conclusion: Its a solid game and does not deserve the hate it got. Some people think every game has be EldenRing or Witcher3 quality. 8/10

An excellent RPG with some amazing level design, excellent world building (especially for POE heads). The narrative as a whole is great but gets a bit dry. The quests range from decent to really great, with some very nice reactivity within the world, and the orgainc way you can stumble onto them is really well done. The combat is decent, punchy and fast but gets a bit samey as the game goes along but still not really the main draw for me. Love the art direction of the living lands and the game looks gorgeous throughout.

Game was better than I was led to believe it would be. I admittedly am a fan of Pillars of Eternity, so the lore didn't surprise me and I knew what everything was already. I can see how coming in blind might make things feel a bit less cohesive. Lots of the game systems were derivative, but approached reasonably well. I'd rather another CRPG, but it wasn't a bad action game for a change of pace. Game ran fine with no issues, had to make concessions to get about 75 fps avg in 4k. Standard UE5 fare.. Story was above average if you actually lore delve and read books. Exploration was fun. Maybe get it on sale if you're unsure. I had fun. YMMV

Best edition of skyrim they've released!

I didn't come into Avowed expecting much, but it's actually very good! It's not exceptional, but it's profoundly solid, and bigger than i thought. the sidequests are good and many are more expansive than they seem at first :3

Fantastic game :)

I like to think that because my ADHD runs rampant, im never able to gain satisfaction from high end games. i bore too easily, i forget about games(even the ones i like), and i always pick apart pieces that i don't like. "DuHZ It PlAY LiKe sKYrIM?!" yes and no. if you're expecting skyrim, just go play skyrim... it's not rocket science. clearly thats the game you want. what it does similar to skyrim: -Open world RPG -first person action -choices matter(moreso in this game than skyrim tbh) some of the things i've noticed people failing the game because skyrim does it: -so you can't pick everything up. it's all static. that fork? can't pick it up. -no... it's not skyrim, so you can't pull arrows out of a tree(fr, this game got ♥♥♥♥ on for this) -NPCs don't really react when you take their things. i like to think its because im the Envoy... so try it.try to stop me, i have diplomatic immunity! - companions... even though skyrim had like 12 companions(not including mods) and only 2 of them were memorable to me Things i love about this game: it's not skyrim. if it was skyrim, it would be skyrim. Dialogue options are good and hold weight. The combat is the special sauce that skyrim forgot to add. slapping people feels so damn good. A DODGE MECHANIC!!! this is what skyrim should've had, in my opinion. Skyrim on it's own is mid, but high tier mid. it really only shines with mods. While i can put in a dodge mod... it's way better when it's implemented into the game, rather than me having to organize files like im a freaking developer. Skyrim cant be all THAT great when people have to modify it to fit their fancy... just sayin. did i mention the combat? bro... slapping people ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ SLAPS. the spell work , visuals, and sound effects are so well done, that i crave the next battle. shield bashing someone is so satisfying. THE WORLD!!! dear god, this is a beautiful world. lush forests that follow a specific fantasy trope: large shrooms, trees with visible ley lines shown, rolling hills with a sexy green, sprawling towers and camps... and the cities!!!! oh lord the cities feel like cities. not a two street town that winds into a stair case, no... streets everywhere! houses, alleyways, roof tops, sewers... this game has so much level design and verticality that you could spend hours in each town just exploring. The lore is on par with Elder scrolls. the PoE games laid the foundation and it's deep and mysterious at the same time.every major landmark has some deep backdrop behind it. the local level design of the wilderness... so good. i don't need a mount. there's so much to see and do, that even having to walk feels fun. even gun play!!! this game has shoot outs!! nuff said the companions are a little dull, but i feel like it's because of burn out with similar games. all of them are trying to paint everyone's picture, and it only resonates with a few people. i personally like the companions, but there have been times where im not in the mood to listen to their life's story. this isn't Baldur's Gate, after all... nothing they say changes an outcome in the grand scheme of things... at least not from what i've experienced so far. overall a solid 8/10 not sure what it is... but sometimes it feels like theres something thats missing. i can never quite put my finger on it... but every once in a while i feel something... lacking. WONDERFUL game, though.

Хз, за полтора часа это кал неинтересный. Ждать раскрытия боевки до середины игры я не хочу.

Leider gibt es gleich mehrere technische Probleme, die seit dem erscheinen nicht gelöst wurden. 1. Das Spiel Avowed stürzt immer mit einem Speicher-Lag ab. Was aktuell bei mir die Abstürze reduziert hat ist alle Overlays abzuschalten. Ich denke hier müssen sich die Programmierer ansehen, wie es aussieht wenn mehrere Sachen gleichzeitig laufen, als auch Nvidia Overlay besser implementieren. Leider findet man das Internet überschwemmt mit dem Speicher lag von Avowed. Einige haben es mit Grafik Einstellungen und BIOS Update zum laufen gebracht, leider geht es aber vielen gleich wie mir, wo einfach gar nichts hilft. Obwol spiele wie Cyberpunk, Satis Faktory, ..., die auch richtig Ressourcen brauchen einwandfrei gehen. 2. Was nur ein kleines Problem ist, dass manchmal der Loot von Gegnern in den Boden bugt. 3. Ich hab mir die Premium Edition gekauft, da ich gerne die Wallpapers als Desktop-Hintergrund verwende. Hier bekommt man ein Workart Programm und man kann die Bilder nicht wie gewünscht einsetzen. Da ich dafür zahle erwarte ich mir das. Ich hoffe sehr das Obsidian hier reagiert. Da ich auch bei Pillars Of Eternity 2, Deadfire die Premium Version mit allen DLC´s gekauft haben und das echt super war. Auch was ich bisher so von Avowed gesehen habe knüpft das inhaltlich wieder an ihre Qualität an, aber technisch ist das eine Katastrophe!
