Admittedly I haven't gotten around to The Outer Worlds 2, but I can still confidently say it's better than Avowed (which I did play to completion).
 
Go replay New Vegas with mods instead. May as well go enjoy their game they're trying to replicate.

Insane how they missed on both of those. Once upon a time, Avowed and Outer Worlds were my most hyped rpgs.
 
Avowed is like $34 on sale now. I really enjoyed it.

About to start OW2. I just finished part 1 a month ago so wanted to let it breathe a minute.
 
Still not done with Outer worlds 2, took a detour to Metroid Prime 4, but I prefer Avowed to be honest.

Outer worlds 2 is a much better RPG, Avowed is a much better action/exploration. Up to you what you fancy.

Avowed had the better combat. Outer Worlds 2 had the better story. If I ever replay one, it would he Avowed due to gameplay. I'd pick a different build and likely enjoy it. I can't say the same for a second Outer Worlds 2 replay.
 
Both are close. But slight edge to Outer Worlds 2.

Gameplay / level design / visuals / exploration are better in Avowed. But they are not too far off in Outer Worlds either.

However, quest design, rpg elements, writing are quite a lot better in Outer Worlds 2.

Overall I think 1/2 a point on 0-10 scale separates them. Both are pretty different despite being from same dev.

I haven't played Avowed yet, but Outer Worlds 2 is a solid RPG! Outer Worlds 1 felt like an attempt, but Outer Worlds 2 delivers a fully polished experience
I really enjoyed playing it.
 
Personally I thought the writing (or at least the satire/sarcasm) made outer worlds 2 more enjoyable for me.

Avowed mechanically was good but I don't care for the lore/story.
 
Outer Worlds 2, i liked the 1st one, the 2nd is not much of an upgrade, just bigger areas but i will get it at a cheaper price, Avowed was a big downgrade for me on what i was expecting especially after the reveal trailer, the world and npc's are too static and lifeless and i didn't take to the art style.
 
At the end of the third area on Avowed and I'm kinda getting bored of the gameplay loop. The writing isn't good enough to make up for that so I might drop it and try Outer World 2.
 
Avowed. Its exploration, movement, combat, and graphics are fantastic. Seriously slept on because of the Xbox tax. Outer Worlds 2 I dropped in less than an hour.
