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!

Been playing it on XSX via Game pass. As an original Kickstarter of the Pillars of Eternity game, I'd say it's phenomenal. The transition in genres was masterful, and I have the same feeling of commanding a squad except I'm down in the actual instead of watching it from birds eye view. The dialogue choices have been satisfying and, playing on Hard difficulty, the combat feels like a genuine fun challenge. I've put about fifteen hours into it, and only recently made it to the first city after roaming the wilds to see how many three skull challenges I could tackle before following the main quest. I hope for a lot of content! If they even match PoE1 in story length I'll be a very satisfied gamer.
