netacklee Avowed Review

Very whelming looter-RPG game It starts amazingly. The first act is everything I wanted from an RPG. But after that the problems starts to show. Some quests are boring and exist only to make the game longer. In my opinion the game with all its side content would be better if its runtime was 10 hours shorter. The story has interesting bits and the basis of story is good, but some parts feel unnecessary and are made worse by too long runtime On other hand companion quests of Marius and Kai are just incredible, they offer you a deeper look on characters and you start to realize why they propose you certain variants of actions in story quests. Because of this it's even more sad, that Yatzli and Giatta did not receive such attention from developers. In my playthrough I didn't even see Yatzli as a companion in my journey, and it says something. Battle system was super good untill 3/4 of a game, where I switched from magic wand to sword+shield, because the scaling of magic wasn't great and a lot of fights started to feel boring and too long. Magic in this game from what I saw has more of a supporting role to your weapon. Generally it's a good game, that could've been so much more and it makes me sad
