Avowed’s Early Release: A Promising Start Amidst High Expectations for RPGs
Avowed can be considered a successful launch beyond the expectations of its developers. In the lead-up to its release, there were numerous concerns regarding this title. Part of this apprehension stemmed from the competitive marketing landscape, especially since Avowed chose to debut at a time when many other blockbuster titles were also launching.
With a price point set at a relatively high level, exceeding 1.6 million units sold, Avowed fans have every reason to feel proud. However, the game has indeed achieved remarkable success.
Right from the early access phase, just a few days before its official launch, this blockbuster quickly climbed to the top of the best-selling games list on Steam, only to be surpassed by the Steam Deck. It’s worth noting that the Steam Deck is a hardware device and not a game in itself.
Avowed has not only excelled in sales on Steam but has also received a significant amount of positive feedback from players. On the Steam page for the game, Avowed currently holds a “Very Positive” rating from players who have experienced it. The performance of the game on PC has also been rated very highly, with expert reviews on OpenCritic reflecting a similarly positive sentiment. However, there remain some contrasting reviews, with some players arguing that Avowed isn’t as impressive as the hype suggests. Instead, it offers a more simplistic and less profound experience.
As of now, the overall impression of Avowed remains very positive, and this title has undeniably succeeded in its initial launch phase.
