  • Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
  • Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
  • Available On: Xbox Series X|S, PC
  • Played On: Xbox Series X

I was looking forward to Obsidian Entertainment’s new RPG and expected it to be a good game, but for some reason, I wasn’t as enthusiastic as I had been just a year ago. Fast forward to now and after spending 15 hours with Avowed, it’s proved to be just the fantasy gaming experience I’ve wanted and needed for years.

Between great games slated for release this year, new potential additions to Game Pass from Activision Blizzard’s back catalog, and a hardware refresh in the second half of the year, there’s a lot to be excited about so long as Xbox maintains this momentum.
