What to Play While We Wait for Avowed
Seeing as Avowed doesn’t release until February 18, we still have a few months until we can dive into the fantasy world. That’s plenty of time to beat another large-scale RPG or two in the meantime. To help you prepare, we recommend the following RPGs:
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- The Outer Worlds
