Eternity Avowed - Obsidian's first person action-RPG in the Pillars of Eternity setting

[Azdul]

The Steam peak player count was sub 20k, last weekend. It's sub 9k right now. Unless this trash has contributed millions of new GamePass subscriber-months, it's a serious flop.

So where the number of 6 mln comes from ?

I had not played it. Maybe in a decade or two when they will release DRM-free version for 2.99, I'll consider it

It has no DRM, you can play it now for 0.0

But what if I will like it ? And then it will cost me 70$. Nah, better not take this, however slim, risk.

My stats say I played 24 hours and I barely started the second hub. Some of that time was the game left running while I went to pee or make coffee.

My overall opinion remains: I like it. It's an action game with RPG elements and it works that way. It's pretty, it's fun to play - a good time killer when the kids and wife go to sleep and I'm a night owl type of person. I have the same feeling I had with The Outer Worlds, though. While I liked that game too, I never felt the urge to replay it and most likely never will. However, I'm interested in its sequel.

I think my final conclusion about Avowed will be "good action game with semi-open world; gamepass or wait for discount".

You have an excuse but don't flaunt it. It still makes you an undiscerning consumer.

The article explains that's an estimate based on the numbers from CoD and Indiana Jones.
