A colossal statue of a decaying knight, his armor ravaged by time and adorned with unsettling, realistic mushrooms, has materialized in London. This striking installation, a creation of Xbox, serves as both a captivating art piece and a chilling premonition of the world-altering disease plaguing Avowed. The display, complemented by nearby posters promoting the Xbox Series X|S version of the game, transforms a commonplace city street into a captivating gateway to Avowed's grim reality, immersing onlookers in the game's Dreamscourge infection.
Xbox has released a behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, offering fans an exclusive glimpse into the creation of this unique promotional spectacle.
The game itself has garnered significant acclaim from Steam users, with a remarkable 81% positive recommendation rate for the Deluxe Edition prior to its official launch. This overwhelmingly positive reception sets a high benchmark as the Standard Edition makes its debut today.
Industry veteran Jason Schreier has voiced his strong approval of Avowed, highlighting its exceptional world design, compelling narrative, and engaging combat system. However, he emphasizes the game's unparalleled exploration:
"Avowed has completely captivated me. Obsidian's storytelling and combat are as impressive as expected, but the world design truly shines. Every path leads to discovery, every rooftop is within reach, and hidden details abound. Even after 40 hours, I remain thoroughly engrossed."
Schreier also acknowledges a disparity between critical reception and player enthusiasm, drawing parallels to Fallout: New Vegas:
"Some reviews have taken me by surprise. It mirrors the Fallout: New Vegas experience – critics were divided, yet players elevated it to legendary status. Avowed could potentially follow a similar trajectory."
Given Fallout: New Vegas' initial Metacritic score of 83 and its subsequent rise to iconic RPG status, the question remains: Could Avowed be destined for a comparable ascent to RPG greatness?
