Thanks to Xbox Game Piss I can try out Avowed until Monster Hunter Wilds comes out.

I am not too deep into it yet. The combat is fun. Though with my bad eyesight it is kinda hard to dodge projectiles. I should look into the accessibility settings for this. My character is a wand toting mage who belongs to Ravenclaw.

The world is somewhat interesting. I think it's too close to the tropey DnD fantasy setting with guns and funghi thrown in but it is alright so far. I have come to not expect too much from AAA games in this department. Writing and voice acting are ordinary too.

Anyone else playing this?

It's at least okay game, definitely way better than the haters make it to be. Feels like the mix of Oblivion and Dragon Age. I don't see it becoming next Skyrim phenomenon though, that would depend on exploding mod secene.

Yeah I haven't found anything to hate about this game at all. There is a tinge of disappointment sort of like what I felt with Starfield because these are supposed to Microsoft's marquee games to sell the Xbox but they turn out very ordinary.
