Avowed | New Previews are Coming Up
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
I'm very cautiously excited for this release.
I liked POE 1 & 2 alot. However, I wasn't thrilled with The Outerworlds.
I'm really hoping this is a good one, as I can always use more RPGs to be excited about!

PoE 1 is definitely worth a playthrough and eases you into the world mythos.Watched Matty's and Mortismal Gaming's previews and sounds really good. Game looks great and looking forward to diving into my first Obsidian game as Avowed will be the first new release of 2025 that I will be playing. Let's go!!
It's a particularly great play if you're a fan of CRPGs like Baldur's Gate and Icewindale
I have looked into Pillars and definitely not for me. lol
Avowed though definitely is my type of RPG.
I’ll just wait for the ps5 pro announcement. It’s a 100% certainty at this point.
The previews are glowing. I’m a bit suspect after Dragon Age and Deathloop manufactured hype trains.
But Outer Worlds shows promise… which has my attention since it seems like Bethesda has finally lost all its magic.
Interestingly, most of the previews I've read say the game plays better than it looks in gameplay clips.
The general consensus from the latest four hour preview was that although it didn't do anything incredible, most of it is a pretty serviceable RPG.
I don't get the vibes that it'll be an industry changing game, but I'd be satisfied with a decent RPG.
I can see the improvements in the combat animations compared to the first showing(s) so at least I can see that it's not complete jank, I'm sure the improvements probably vary from weapon to weapon though.
I guess what reviewers mean by it plays better than it looks in video is that snappier sound design is also part of the improvements to combat feel and it is being obstructed by their voice-over?
The game is essentially Outer Worlds but Fantasy(and probably more connected than individual planets) as I always knew it would be. I liked Outer Worlds, so I'll probably like this game.
Seems that the studio feel content in staying within that range in terms of scope of production.
They could've probably gone bigger/more feature rich but I guess maybe some of the senior staff still wants to be able to do side projects like(Grounded/Pentiment)? We'll see if that's the case if something else comes out before Outer Worlds 2 in a few years.
