Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim! (self.games)

I’ve played Avowed for 15 hours, and this is the most fun I’ve had in an RPG since Skyrim released. It might not be as good as Skyrim, but it has a very similar feel for me, and I’ve encountered zero bugs so far. I’m having an absolute blast!

If you like RPGs, I highly recommend giving it a try. It’s included in Game Pass, so there’s no reason not to check it out!

It sold 4 million copies. The press lathered it with praise as a lot of major media outlets gave it 9s.

Game Critics Awards: Best Original Game

DICE awards: Best RPG

Nebula Awards: Best Writing

2019 Game awards: nominated for four categories, including game of the year

It was nominated and won other awards as well

I'm sorry but I genuinely don't care what game journalists think. Their opinions are about as valuable as mud, and at least I can grow plants from mud.

Every single discussion I see searching up on Google 'is Outer Worlds good' are sponsored reviews from people who got the game for free, or B average reviews from people who got the game for dirt cheap. When I find what real people have to say about Outer Worlds, it's almost unanimous that it was bad.

Don’t apologize for having an opinion. Just apologize for discounting the ones that don’t agree with yours. It’s listed as very positive on Steam and sold very well. Your hyperbole about everyone saying it was bad is provably wrong.
