• The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy Is The Ultimate "What If" Game

  01-01-2026 22:00 via gamespot.com

• Best Of 2025: Avowed's Most Controversial Feature Is Also One Of Its Best

  01-01-2026 15:00 via gamespot.com
  
  Obsidian's Avowed is one of the better action-RPGs released in 2025. While it doesn't reinvent any particular wheel, it benefits from an engaging campaign, fun combat systems, and charming characters.
