“Good enough for game pass”
Laura brings up some excellent points
- Obsidian shipped on time, after being acquired
- Obsidian already has outer worlds 2 in the works
- Obsidian gets the OW team back together
Avowed may not be a win on its own, but in the context of a MS studio it’s a win, and they cleared their plate to focus on OW2.
I really haven’t understood the reactions I’ve seen to the game. To me it’s a really tight, interwoven, streamlined action-RPG that checks so many boxes for me that other games haven’t tried to touch for years. 9/10 from me personally. It’s been wild seeing the incredibly lukewarm reaction everywhere else.
It’s $70 with minimal marketing
