28 hours into Avowed. Still have not been to the final area and completed the main story. In the three main areas of the map, at least 50% of the map has not been touched. They use a fog of war style map that only shows places you have traveled. I plan to fill it up as the world is a joy to explore. The only reason so much has been unexplored is my desire to level up my armor and weapons and you have to progress the story to go to new areas that have access to better gear and crafting materials. You can still level gear up in the early areas but it takes longer.

The most impressive thing is it has been mostly bug free. One side mission is bugged for me and sometimes a companion gets hit with a shock attack and will stay in that state constantly zapping you until you get into another fight or move to an area that has a loading screen or fast travel.

The minor complaints are the NPC's are pretty lifeless and the enemy types are pretty limited. Plus they only use half of the overworld map. They are planning DLC so I assume that is the reasoning.

I uninstalled it after about 3 hours.  It was completely bland to me.  And the combat just sucks.

Back to Rival Stars Racing.

I've been in a bit of a gaming rut, but I decided to download the PGA 2K25 First Look demo and while the graphics do look much better, it's the new swing stick that I enjoyed the most. I'll definitely grab this when it goes on sale.

I almost bit on Star Wars Outlaws for $35 last week, but my son convinced me to wait until it drops into the 20's.

I almost bit too, but I just can't bring myself to by Ubisoft titles that require me to install Ubisoft launchers and shit on my PC.

Maybe I'll play it on Xbox one day.
