Avowed’s Reviews Are In: Are They Disappointing for Obsidian Fans?

Starting from February 13, the day Avowed was released in early access, it’s been receiving reviews from critics on Metacritic. While a score of 80 is generally positive, it’s worth noting that this is slightly lower than the Metacritic scores of other Obsidian RPGs I’ve adored. For instance, the two Pillars of Eternity games boast scores of 89 and 88 respectively, and The Outer Worlds, a game that shares similar gameplay elements with Avowed, has an 85. Even Pentiment, a smaller-scale game from Obsidian, managed to secure an 86. And let’s not forget Fallout: New Vegas, one of Obsidian’s most renowned games, which also earned an 84 on Metacritic.

Review: In a Winnipeg few will recognize, “Universal Language” speaks from a deep well of humanity

Matthew Rankin, a Canadian history scholar, transitioned from academia to the world of art, much like fellow town icon Guy Maddin. It seems there’s something unique about the cold waters or perhaps the video stores in Winnipeg that inspires such peculiar homages to their native land. Or maybe it’s just the influence of their local environment. Their artistic influences are rooted in silent filmmakers and surrealists like F.W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, and Luis Buñuel. It appears they never aspired to be like Steven Spielberg, and perhaps they haven’t even seen his films.

Review: ‘Paddington in Peru’ isn’t hard to bear, but it shows the franchise coasting

Two movies from the trilogy based on Michael Bond’s cherished books about a Peruvian British bear in a blue coat and red hat reach an optimal balance. “Paddington 2” (released in 2017) was praised by many as a peak achievement, while the third installment, titled “Paddington in Peru,” was expected to be somewhat less impressive due to changes in the crew. Director Paul King, who had previously worked on the series, has been replaced by Dougal Wilson for his first feature film, though King still contributes to the screen story. Additionally, Sally Hawkins, a former cast member, has been replaced by Emily Mortimer as Mary, the head of Paddington’s English family, the Browns.
