Ign gives everything a 9/10
They gave star wars outlaws a 7/10 too
I'd say it's a 9/10 game as well. Enjoyed it very much.
I'll probably get it if I hear Obsidian took any creative risks, but so far I'm hearing that it's a mass appeal oversimplified ARPG with looter shooter vibes. Not really the kind of thing I crave from Obsidian.
I haven't seen much coverage on the game yet myself, but I did see the review SkillUp uploaded. Apparently, the writing is pretty bland and mid, like that of Veilguard.
Seems like games with that good old novelistic style is now entirely dependent on indie developers.
Skillup gave good reviews to Diablo 4 ignoring its shortcomings completely. Not sure I can trust his reviews after that.
If you're on the fence about avowed, in the meantime I'd highly recommend Eternal Stands.
I don't get it, the first announcement trailer looks really cool. Dark fantasy style. Now it doesn't appeal to me immediately and waiting the reviews.
That was my biggest gripe watching the Luke Stephens video on it as well. The announcement trailer looked great, why the hard pivot into an oversaturated mushroom kingdom aesthetic? Especially since it sounds like the actual game is pretty solid, beyond technical issues (that may or maybe fixed by now with a day 1 patch).
I guess there wil be a plethora of mods/reshades to alter the color palette on nexusmods
Personnaly I don't like the grey/brown monochrome trend to make things look grim, but over-saturated isn't my cup of tea for fantasy either
Except for TW3: Blood & Wine of course cause it made sense
I was set to buy it tonight, imagine my surprise to see the "physical" edition: a) is $95 and b) has no disc, digital download only.
Yeah, no thanks. $95 saved!
It looks fine to me. Not a game I buy at full price. I suspect it will sit on my wishlist for a year or so and I will get it on a deep deal.
