What players say

Players are deeply split on Avowed. Many find the combat repetitive and floaty, the dialogue poorly written, and the world lifeless with no NPC reactivity. Others enjoy the exploration and lore for Pillars of Eternity fans, but even fans note the companions are weak and the story forgettable. Performance issues and a high price tag are common complaints.
