Review Avowed (PS5) - Overlooked Xbox RPG Arrives with Some Big Upgrades
Green with Envoy
Avowed first released on Xbox and PC just over a year ago, and now having played through it ourselves on PS5, we can't help but think that it deserves a bit more recognition. This was Obsidian's attempt at making an RPG that would appeal to the Elder Scrolls crowd — a no doubt easy sell to the suits at Microsoft, especially with...
Review The Outer Worlds 2 (PS5) - Mechanically Fantastic RPG Struggles to Be Memorable
In one ear, Outer the other
The Outer Worlds 2 is Obsidian trying to rediscover the role-playing magic that once defined it as a juggernaut within the genre.

We play as a Nurembergian artist named Andreas Maler who is living in Tassing while he completes work on a piece for the local monastery, and through him we meet the residents of the town...

The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos is the game's second and final expansion. Just like Peril on Gorgon, it's another solid adventure that takes you to a whole new location. This time around, the crew of the Unreliable find themselves on the Grand Colonial — essentially a massive hotel complex that orbits the...
Mini Review The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon - A Solid But Very Safe Expansion
Welcome back, Captain
Bloody corporations, eh? They've only gone and done it again! Peril on Gorgon is The Outer Worlds' first expansion, and all told, it's a solid excursion. Your intrepid Captain and their crew find themselves travelling to the hellish Gorgon asteroid — a (mostly) abandoned testing site for dodgy space drugs. You're contracted...
