OPENCRITIC 81

What Avowed lacks in gloss it makes up for with charm, depth and a playful heart. It's one of this year's most pleasant surprises. - EUROGAMER

Avowed is a perfectly competent RPG that showcases Obsidian’s writing and worldbuilding chops, but has little else to distinguish itself among swords-and-sorcery adventures. - IGN

Avowed's impactful and satisfying combat is undone by a widely unbalanced upgrade system and an uninteresting story that wastes its potential. - GAMESPOT

Avowed is a solid action RPG with an entertaining script, satisfying combat and impressively detailed environments. The inability to clean up side quests after the main story is beaten can be frustrating, but take your time with it and enjoy everything it has to offer, and you'll find plenty of memorable moments. - VGC

thankfully it's on Game Pass. from the reviews I expect decent fun with the combat system, I don't hold my breath when it comes to the story, because they clearly went for some light-hearted approach which left me a bit confused as it's not what I remember Pillars of Eternity world for

There's a lot of reviews repeating the point that it's nothing revolutionary and if this game is around 7+ on my personal scale I'll be satisfied

Been playing it today, and although it is nothing special, it is a solid game. Solid these days is more than what most devs crap out.

As always, just find your favourite youtubers and ignore games media

Enjoying it so far! Not groundbreaking but it's fun.
