Digital Foundry's John Linneman delivers the tech review of Avowed for Xbox Series X, Series S and PC. This is a surprisingly great game in more ways than one.
What the fuck is up with all of these glowing opinions, just from the large games “journalists” sites? Are they getting paid by Obsidian?
This is looking like another Outer Worlds or Starfield situation. Hype the shit about it, make sure the major sites give it high scores, and then months later, when people actually play it, the scorn and mid-ness of the game is too hard to ignore.

Can’t have a UE5 game without spending a lot of time discussing performance.
My PC is pretty decent, but whenever I hear a game runs on UE5 I just figure I’ll pick it up on sale in 5-10 years when I have newer hardware.
The disconnect is real between the games “journalists” and the YouTubers who actually played the game:

I loved The Outer Worlds. If you’re going to pay people for positive press, why would you only get a 7/10 out of IGN?
