Avowed had a pretty lenghty OT here when it came out and as far as I remember many people were enjoying it a lot. I know, I did.

 

[KiteGr]

Well... There was that member revealing to be a racist, plus the rumour of pronouns...
Those were red flags.

 

[Labadal]

Say no to racist developers.

 

[Braag]

I honestly forgot this game exists. I was mildly interested in it around its launch, until I heard pretty unanimously that the story sucked ass.
Also some of the devs did some serious damage to the game's reputation leading up to launch, so a lot of the discussion revolved more around that than the game.

 

[Signalis]

None whatsoever

 

[KungFucius]

It was a good game, but I had more fun with that King Arthur game, Tainted Grail, as an RPG and I wouldn't really consider that GoTY material. Its in the Good / OK space. Kinda perfect for gamepass.

I absolutely recommend the game. It was fine and it didn't overstay its welcome.

 

[Ceadeus]

It's pretty good! The world feels kinda dead and static though. Borderlands 4 is kinda on the same boat, a large but dead world. Nothing move, static NPC's ...

 

[T.v]

It was decent. I enjoyed my time with it but it certainly didn't need to be any longer. Characters and the world being so incredibly static dragged it down for me.

It looks alright at best. I would have purchased it had they released a physical copy, just to support the market for future similar games, but I lost all interest when they didn't.

 

[SpokkX]

Becsuse the game ran out of steam after only 25%. After that it became repetative and introtuced no new enemies of mechanics

I was quite done with the game by the end. 6/10 imo

 

[BigLee74]

Was really good. One of my faves of the year. Haven't given it a second thought since completing though. Would very much doubt a GOTY contender.

Still, laugh emojis on the OP check out

Game was made by self-hating beta soycucks like the one below so it's no surprise.

If you are wearing that kinda shit around your neck you deserve a slap or two.

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's a shit game overall, finding loot in harder to reach places was the only remotely entertaining element (yes I've played it), but that's assuming you're okay with the world feeling sterile. Definitely not worth wasting 40-50+ hours to finish it, you could spend your time playing much better new RPG's or even going back to the classics.

 

[playbignbox]

No, no love or money for them

[PlayStaytion]

Swap the rainbow colors with classic gray colors and I will buy it instantly.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Top 5 for me this year.

Story is your super average evil entity infecting the world but with pillars of my ass nomenclature that make everything confusing if you don't know the world already.

Even the best thing, the combat, really goes down to having fun ragdoll so it's visually fun to bash enemies around, everything else from varied moveset to skill tree to enemy variety and quality is mediocre to downright subpar.

Why is skill tree average?

I thought it was great, very easy to make fun builds.

Also story was entirely focused in second half. Gets quite a bit involved, few gameworlds have lore like this.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Nope

Again, look at the art of Pillars of Eternity 1 & 2. It's that, in 3D. Colors and everything. This has been debated to hell and back. Peoples still asserting this while not having played the game at this point are just regurgitating the grifter slop.

I put 60 plus hours into the game. The art is very inconsistent and less gritty than Pillars. It gets better later in the game.
