Avowed key art
Obsidian Living Lands. Steam/store art used for review.

8 of 10 bananas. First-person Obsidian RPG craft.

By the Alpha. Studied against reception. Updated Sept 2026.

Honest note: This verdict is not from a fresh hands-on playtest. I built it from launch coverage, critic consensus, patch history, and known play. If I put real hours in on stream, I will update the score and say so.

Platforms: PC and Xbox (PlayStation later TBD). The Amazon button is the Premium Edition SteelBook, an Xbox Series X|S and Windows code in a box. Check the seller and price before you pay.

Get Avowed on Amazon

Store check, Oct 27 2026: new copies on offer, sold and shipped by Amazon.com. Prices and sellers change, so look before you pay.

Sit with me a moment. Obsidian knows companions, factions, and consequences. Avowed puts you in first person in Eora and asks if the Living Lands will accept your kind of godlike trouble.

What It Wants To Be

A first-person action RPG on PC and Xbox: magic, steel, dialogue weight, and Obsidian faction drama. Check platforms before you buy.

What Works

Writing peaks. Build fantasy. The feeling of an Obsidian sandbox that still remembers words matter.

What Breaks

Listen well. First-person RPG combat taste splits people. Console/PC availability means PS troop waits.

Who Should Play

Play on Xbox/PC if you love Obsidian RPGs. Skip if you need PlayStation day one.

STRENGTHS

  • Obsidian writing craft
  • Build and magic fantasy
  • Faction consequences
  • Strong for RPG hunters

HONEST COSTS

  • PC/Xbox first
  • FPS combat polarizing
  • Open-zone pacing varies
  • Not for action-only buyers
ALPHA VERDICT: 8.0 of 10. Get Avowed on Amazon, then meet the troop on Twitch.
