Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!

Avowed does seem to be better received and more popular than Outer Worlds, so we can hope.

Outer worlds was received perhaps even better and was more popular than Avowed is currently. People’s memories are fuzzy I guess but Outer Worlds was a genuine GOTY contender.

Yeah that doesn’t track at all with what I remember people saying, and what I remember thinking myself.
I distinctly remember people citing the repetitive gameplay, short campaign, shallow choices, etc. I’m not sure why it was ever a GOTY contender, but there simply never was any way it would ever beat a game like Sekiro. It’s likely that “new Obsidian RPG” drove any hype surrounding the game.

Disco Elysium isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It certainly wasn’t mine. And I love Outer Worlds.

It sold 4 million copies. The press lathered it with praise as a lot of major media outlets gave it 9s.
Game Critics Awards: Best Original Game DICE awards: Best RPG Nebula Awards: Best Writing Game awards: nominated for four categories, including game of the year
It was nominated and won other awards as well

I’m surprised it was so well reviewed, I remember being very disappointed with it. Everything felt so small, and shallow.
