]]> Avowed – Review https://sirusgaming.com/avowed-review/ Mon, 17 Feb 2025 16:47:44 +0000 https://sirusgaming.com/?p=223940 I have to admit, when I first stepped into Avowed, I felt overwhelmed. I pressured myself to understand everything at once—the names, the places, the mechanics—afraid I’d miss something important. But the more I tried to keep control, the more distant the world felt.

That’s generally what you’ll be doing throughout your time in Torchlight 3. It’s not a bad game by any means, I just wished there were more interesting things to loot and more varied enemies to fight, which could have made the repetitions more worth it in the end.
