This Year's Best RPG Yet Proves Bigger Isn't Always Better
Briefly

Avowed, a new open-world RPG, contrasts with traditional genre offerings by presenting a more compact world divided into smaller regions. This design supports intensive details and player engagement as each area is rich with exploration opportunities. Unlike vast, open worlds where barren landscapes act as barriers to exploration, Avowed's segmented approach makes traversal quicker and encourages players to discover landmarks and stories rather than rely on fast travel. Each self-contained region presents unique characteristics, making every corner of Eora noteworthy and inviting.
By virtue of its smaller regions, Avowed can cram interesting details into every bit of its world. Stand in any one spot in the game's world of Eora, and you're almost guaranteed to see something worth investigating in every direction.
Unlike other typical open-world RPGs, where you can walk from one side of the game's world to the other from the start, Avowed is broken up into several smaller zones, which you'll progress through one by one throughout the campaign.
