And more specifically, to my aquamarine fish-man companion Kai.
Except for the fact he looks like a fish-man, hence my eyes being closed.
The similarities, appearance not withstanding, are uncanny.
He can also shoot things and make them explode.
There’s a lot more to love about Avowed, too.
It is gorgeous, with Unreal Engine 5-powered vistas and wonderfully detailed dense forest glens.
I also appreciate the game’s introduction to its world, as someone who never played Pillars of Eternity.

You win, necromorphs!
Sounds like a horror movie, that.
What a fun little game it is, and a wonderful departure from the persistent fear of Dead Space.
Oh well, I’ll play something straightforward and simple next.
The thing about the world of Eora is that it’s just an exciting place to be.
Often dangerous, full of intrigue and hidden secrets.
But more than that, it’s a setting that sucks you in like a story book.
A marvellous thing to pull off.
