Reviews for Avowed a little lower than expected, was hoping for an 85 but still excited to play. Been my most anticipated MS game since Starfield (excluding BO6).

Graphically it's their best looking game for me.

Nice to see a UE5 game that actually runs well. Hopefully with Epic themselves ironing out some of the engine's issues in recent iterations, this is a taste of things to come for future UE5 games, considering how many AA and AAA devs are now using the engine (seems like about 80% of them are using it now).

Yeah DF is in love with the game XD, they must be proud at Obsidian.

No kidding! Typically one of the last things you think of when it comes to Obsidian is a high level of polish lol. Certainly one of the benefits of them having the proper time to make a AAA game.



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

Big shout out to Obsidian for understanding an option to turn off head bob is just as important as camera shake options. I’ll be turning them all off thank you.
