I had zero interest in it pre-launch, I scoffed at it, laughed and moved on but each day after launch has increased my desire to check it out.

Lucky I'm busy with Prince of Persia and then Yakuza 8 next.

Palword needs some merchandise, maybe a real world Palworld card game not many games surprsingly have a card game in real life. And they should boosters, have tournaments etc.

Throwing a lit match on gasoline.

Prince of Persia map feels like it never ends, goddamn.

In a good way though, Lol.

I've just got to 100% it before Yakuza 8.

All the gameplay shown from the Developer Direct now has an Alpha watermark in this deeper dive. Hopefully that means the game will continue to look and play a lot better by the Summer Showcase.

There's extended footage in there.

Some of my initial skepticism has been worn away thanks to this new gameplay information. If they can improve the graphics and animations a bit more and make some enemy AI improvements before release, I think Avowed should be pretty good.
