How do you decide whether you like a game? For me, it comes down to whether or not I want to spend some more time in the world presented to me by the game. Some other element might have been the reason for me to try that game, such as an interesting gameplay loop, or a unique art style, but the only thing that will keep me playing the game for a long time is whether or not I feel connected to the game’s world.
At that point, everything else – the gameplay, story, characters, music and so on become secondary. And I’m willing to ignore whatever shortcomings those other departments might have, just because I’m having a good time in the game’s world.
And that sums up how I feel about Avowed. By now, the internet is full of reviews and opinions from critics and fans alike, about how it is an excellent game, but falls short of being truly great. And yes, it appears highly unlikely that Avowed will get the same overwhelmingly positive reception that Baldur’s Gate 3 did, but I still feel it is a good game that is worth a try if you are a game pass subscriber.
