Avowed’s disappointing demo betrays its excellent world and combat

I’ve been enamored with Avowed ever since developer Obsidian released its first piece of key art. Adorned in swatches of color that wouldn’t be out of place on my favorite tattoo artist’s Instagram page, The Outer Worlds studio’s take on medieval tales ditches the distilled gray and steel tones of Skyrim for something altogether different. Sitting down to play the game at Gamescom, I’m hoping it’ll evoke the feeling of awe its art evokes.
