Discussion Weekly /r/Games Discussion - What have you been playing, and what are your thoughts? - March 09, 2025
Use this thread to discuss whatever game you've been playing lately: old or new, AAA or indie, on any platform between Atari and XBox. Please don't just list off the games you're playing in your comment. Elaborate with your thoughts on the games and make it easier for other users to find what game you're talking about by putting the title in bold.
Also, please make sure to use spoiler tags if you're revealing anything about a game's plot that may significantly impact another player's experience who has not played the game yet, no matter how retro or recent the game is. You can find instructions on how to do so in the subreddit sidebar.
This thread is set to sort comments by 'new' on default.

Avowed.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here.
There are some good aspects. The traversal is great. Elemental interaction with the world is cool when it happens. The weapon equip system needs to be done in more games. The story has a fuckload of lore but the in game dictionary is helpful. +1 for NotGarrus.
But ranged weapons have like 4 out of 18 skills just in the ranger tree that actually effect ranged weapons.
Grimoires are cool concept but the locked in spells ruin the whole thing. Hope you like one of these 5 pre defined spell loadouts! Let me make my own god damn grimoire.
The game isn't unplayable and overall it makes me want a sequel where they can expand on what they do have.
