Despite a lot of pre-release buzz, Avowed turned out to be a fairly average game and isn’t one many would recommend. The Outer Worlds 2 received generally positive reviews upon release, but it didn’t quite capture the attention of longtime fans or new players. Its performance was so disappointing, in fact, that Obsidian Entertainment has put the series on hold, effectively ending it before it could reach its full potential. While it’s sad to see another promising series end, the fate of The Outer Worlds might actually be a good thing for the RPG genre, showing that games need to be truly exceptional to succeed.
