I thought Outer Worlds was a pretty mid but Avowed is not grabbing me at all so far.

You can technically play Avowed in third person view, but I understand your point.

I’d say mid too about Outer Worlds, but the first half is above average IMHO. It’s the second half which felt half baked and lowered my appreciation.

I’d prefer some developers set their mind on a good/great 20h experience if they don’t have the budget for more, instead of trying to align themselves with the big players.

I didn’t get that far to be honest, the first world felt so by the numbers that I just kinda never picked it back up and looked up the rest of the story online.

I can’t say I missed much and my expectations for the next one are about as low as they can get at this point.
