All the hype I had has vanished when I saw some comments from people who have already tried the game.

Game that did not particularly impress me, dialogues quite shallow, gameplay a bit old, and the characters in my opinion have no depth. It is a limited RPG.

I don't like the colors very much, in my opinion it would be better if it was 'darker' but as there is a lack of first person role playing games it is welcome and will be played when it is barqtilo

I've heard that the story isn't very interesting and the gameplay is pretty flabby. As a fan of skyrim, a first-person rpg, this game doesn't appeal to me at all.

I've finally found a way to play without crashing every 30min. I had to disable raytracing and upscaler (dlss), and since then no more "fatal error".

Avowed looks like an exciting RPG with deep lore, immersive combat, and a rich fantasy world. The combination of magic, melee, and exploration offers plenty of variety, though the open world might feel a bit empty at times. A must-try for fantasy RPG fans!

Avowed is a game not without problems - fortunately quite limited - but at the same time it demonstrates a genuine spirit, excellent quality writing, and combat that is fun and open to experimentation. Of course, perhaps the release period isn't the most fortunate, given the very fierce competition; but we are certain that Obsidian Entertainment's game will be able to demonstrate its value.

The tests make me doubt the quality of the title, I'll give it a chance after player feedback as well as several that will surely be necessary as with games these days.

I strongly advise waiting for patches... I was able to try out the game today and it's not fantastic at all, especially with the crashes. The only positive point at the moment is the combat.

Avowed looks good, I've seen a few videos and looks like a Skyrim for the moment it's well rated on Steam (early access) 80% It will be available on the game pass in its release!
