Keza Macdonald - "Avowed started out as Obsidian’s answer to Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series, and it did remind me a lot of Oblivion and Skyrim in the exciting moments where I stumbled across something unexpected in the wilds. But it also shares those games’ tendency towards repetition, and the weightless feel of their fighting. My first 15 or so hours in The Lands Between felt rich with potential, but I got fed up with it long before the end."
The Morrowind gag is, blessedly, still in the game in a different form.
Matt Owen from Super Gamesite 64 says..."While all are serviceable, some are better than others. Make sure you pick the best companions in Avowed for the job."
Matt Owen from Super Gamesite 64 says... "It may not challenge genre tropes or flip the script on common gameplay mechanics, but Avowed is still an excellent RPG."
