Very middle of the road, which makes it extremely disappointing when it comes from a studio like Obsidian

Combat and exploration are strong. While the first three regions are strong on the fourth, Galawain's Tusk, the game starts to wear out it's welcome to a degree.

Enjoyable, but ultimately forgettable. I love how vibrant and colourful the aesthetic is. There's loads of lore to the world, but I found myself glazing over a lot and not getting too invested, nor in the party characters. Combat is good enough, though movement can be dodgy. Progression and upgrade system are fine, and a constant feeling of gaining more power was fun. Just solid but not spectacular all round.

A polished game with a gorgeous world. Fun combat. Parkour is smooth. It's impressive on a technical level. But it's kind of just another open world. I know others like the story but I find it kind of meh and there's way too much babbling. Maybe I'm just old and impatient now. And the level progression is fine but doesn't bring anything new to the open world RPG... which is the problem with this. Avowed woulda been a 10 many many years ago. Now? Good but normal.
