Avowed's Open Zone Approach Is The Best of Both Worlds

Much like The Outer Worlds before it, Obsidian's Avowed features an open zone approach to level design, and that gives it the best of both worlds.

24-hour peak of only 8k players. Game is already dead.

Game is so much fun though. All 8,000 of us are having a blast. This game gives me the constant ich to play it that i haven't experienced since shadow of war. Just a satisfying combat loop that rewards you for exploration.

👍 No one is saying that you shouldn't like this game. Old geezers like me are just used to more and better quality from this studio.

And looking at the statistics it's also not a financial success either, contrary to what the devs communicate and what some media claim.

I don't know, in a full RPG you can't beat that feeling of being lost and overwhelmed by a huge open world. In mixed genre games with RPG elements the zones work well.

The only Open Zone I enjoyed was the one here on N4G
