Avowed

This week was a big release week in gaming, so we've got the top two major titles covered (Avowed and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii), an indie Souls-like that has an old school feel (FlyKnight), and a reminder on some free games you might be missing out on.

I find myself wondering if I’ll love this game the way I did DA:The Veilgard, and I honestly don’t know yet. Avowed feels very different to other games I’ve played in the same basic wheelhouse — it lacks the zany satirical feel of The Outer Worlds, the breathless chaos of Fallout: New Vegas, and while you can certainly understand that this game is inspired by games like the various Elder Scrolls games, it doesn’t really feel like one of those.

As the Blizzard Watch staff mused on their favorite games of 2024, they also looked ahead to the games they're most looking forward to in 2025.
