    Awesome. But any missable achievements and anything else for missable things to look out for?

    Do you ever give less than 9 out of 10?

    Super happy about how great it looks.

    Regarding the exclusive bit, I think we should following all those streaming services lead and start referring to them as “Xbox Originals” in stead.

    Yes…but to provide a more detailed answer…

    They used to review way more games of varying quality. Now, they don’t seem to review as many games and they tend to be only of the AAA variety.

    I might give it a go once I'm done with Kingdom Come 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds.

    As a side note for those who don't know and are Mass Effect fans, Avowed has a companion called Kai, which is voiced by Brandon Keener, who voiced Garrus Vakarian in the OG trilogy.

    Loved what you said about getting lost exploring! Can't wait to dive into this game.

    Cannot wait till the 18th, Obsidian doesn't miss & I'm so ready to get lost in Avowed for the foreseeable.

    Garrus was always my favorite in mass effect lol

    Agreed, but it also really bothers me to find 8.5 and 9 out of 10 ratings on English speaking websites, 6 or 7's on foreign language websites.

    Yeah we're not allowed exclusives anymore, because they sell hardware and that idea really upsets Satya. Power of the cloud and ai handbags pay his bonuses nowadays, not Gamepass.

    Makes me hopeful for a good experience. As anybody who looks at my played games can tell, I'm somebody who finds limited enjoyment in fantasy titles (Fable and Elder Scrolls are really the only exceptions) I have high hopes for this to be another check on that list. It reminds me a lot of GreedFall, but I'm hoping it sticks the landing where GreedFall did not for me.
