In the lead-up to the release of Avowed, my excitement levels were at a comfortable seven out of ten. 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.

Hi-Fi Rush Has Been Revived!
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that they were closing down Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks. This past weekend we got the news that the team is being saved by Krafton, and I’m incredibly happy about this! Let’s talk about it!
Microsoft’s first-party exclusive Hi-Fi Rush came to PlayStation earlier this year, along with three other first-party Xbox titles. Sony’s Horizon franchise is breaking out of PlayStation exclusivity and jumping to the Nintendo Switch later this year with Lego Horizon Adventures. These moves may not spell the immediate end of console exclusives for PlayStation and Xbox, but the fires have been lit and the future is clear: first-party exclusivity for them will eventually be no more.
We covered my predictions for the rumored PlayStation Showcase, so now it’s Xbox’s turn. The Xbox Games Showcase is just a few weeks away and there’s a lot that I’m hoping we see from Microsoft. Will Gears 6 finally be announced? Is there going to be a new Perfect Dark trailer? Will we finally get to see gameplay for Fable? I have predictions for all those games and so many others, so let’s talk about them!
