70$ for Outerworlds with magic...yikes

[Slyguy]

The game looks painfully mid, not a whole lot of depth, just another bethesda lite.
But more expensive...

I have also been hearing its very buggy/broken, which double yikes. Though day 1 patch yadyada.

I saw 2 reviews, mortismal a gmanlives, one was very biased due to loving the universe the game is set in, and the other is some random aussie, neither talked about woke stuff.

The biased one liked it, but wished it was better, and the aussie said it was mid.
Seems like a strong 7/10 which is what outerwilds was, 10$ cheaper and 5+ years ago, not good.

Yes, thats what we in the biz called a good game.

It isn't an earth shattering game but it is a good game. It has its quirks but 6-7's out of 10 are GOOD games.

Good, playable, enjoyable, decent games. You have fun with it, you get your kicks and you move on.

If your goal is to only play 9 and 10's then you're going to be sorely disappointed, very frequently. Most teams and studios aren't pulling 9 and 10 games.

Especially not these ones.

The problem is that OW was mediocre. Avowed is giving off a lot of OW vibes, but it's also paired with a premium price.

That may be MS's game pass strategy, but it means that a lot of players will skip this one.

You say mediocre as if it were a bad thing. There is nothing wrong with having a nice play it safe game with a single player story.

You get your kicks and you move on.

Frankly, I'm enjoying it but I'm not expecting the world.

Well, I don't constantly have to have a game to play, so I'm willing to wait until something excites me. TBH, looking back on OW, I could have easily skipped it.

The Outer World was a generic Action Adventure with light RPG elements... much akin to this game.. it had horrid writing and only illusionary agency..
That being said, it was better than this game.

$70 seems crazy, I loved the origincal CRPG Pillars games but no way I'm paying $70 an Elder Scrolls also-ran.

You are wrong only because OuterWorlds is actual garabage while Avowed is a 6.5/10 fast food hamburger.

[Kozzy]

The game is fantastic and I like it way more than Outer Worlds. Nice try though, you have not even tried the game.

[Purromi]

outer worlds is RPG and this is purely aRPG. In outher worlds you have many ways to complete quest or skip them. You can even kill everyone or do very stupid thing that will progress your story and not block it.
Games from 20 years ago are more reactive - even gothic is. Try to kill rat or smh here.

This is worse RPG and better aRPG. Active Gameplay - of a fighting is better - then everything about RPG is worse.

[andynnos]

Don't insult Outer Worlds by comparing to this game. Avowed is bellow it by far.

Nope, Outer World is a 6/10 at best.

At 70 dollars ? No way.

The price for a 6/10 is 40 dollars MAX.
