As detailed in our Avowed review, it turns out Obsidian Entertainment’s latest is pretty good – as long as you’re interested in a dialed-back open-world RPG that puts story and characters before massive Bethesda-esque open-ended adventures. Though both studios likely have very different ideas when it comes to tackling the genre, there’s one element of Avowed that The Elder Scrolls 6 should really use as inspiration: the punchy and weighty combat system.For the longest time, Bethesda’s crown jewel series (sorry, Fallout fans) has attracted millions of adventurers looking to lose themselves in Tamriel’s provinces. Whether you’re all about Skyrim or…

Are you serious? Well, I hope the rumors about a director’s cut version are true, because, otherwise it would be disgusting to offer new content only to PC players,” replies one Twitter user to developer Avalanche’s announcement about the modding support update, which will be available in a patch on both Steam and the Epic Games Store.While console ports of games like Skyrim and, more recently, Baldur’s Gate 3…

With Avowed also lined up for Game Pass, it looks like there’s about to be a huge fight on our hands for new positions amongst the best Xbox RPGs by the end of the month!Kes’ Take — From Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to Avowed, the roleplaying won’t end this month!I hope everything else in your life has ceased to exist, RPG fans!…
You’re the creative director for the next up-and-coming RPG. You step on stage in front of an audience of eager fans (pretend we still do these things live), and after the reveal trailer rolls you steeple your fingers and the grand promise you make to players is:”That mountain? You can go there!””A living, breathing world””A story with choices that matter”You say “choices that matter” and the crowd cheers, though they’re quietly harboring skepticism. Would they have believed you outright if you went for the mountain? Maybe. They’re all buzzword-laden lines, so perhaps it won’t make any difference in the end.…

What are the best turn-based strategy games? The break afforded by ‘turns’ allows us to think, ponder, and plan our moves with as much expert precision as we can muster. Witnessing that master plan unfold can be immensely satisfying, and suddenly, you get a taste of becoming a master tactician. This genre is also home to the ‘one more turn’ trope – that feeling of near-addiction that compels you to click the ‘End Turn’ button just one more time to see what happens in one of the best PC games. Maybe you’re waiting to see the outcome of a daring attack; perhaps you’re just…
