Når magi møder parkour i Avowed – en overraskelse!

Avowed - Computerspil - Elder Scrolls - Obsidian Entertainment - RPG - Skyrim - Xbox Game Studios

Avowed overrasker med en sjov blanding af FPS og magi, men hvordan står det i forhold til Skyrim? Læs med her!

Avowed, det nyeste skud på stammen fra Obsidian Entertainment, er på mange måder en skuffelse for dem, der forventede en troværdig efterfølger til Skyrim. Selvom markedet for fantasy RPG'er er fyldt med høje forventninger og drømme, formår Avowed at overraske med en ret usædvanlig kombination af spell-slinging og platforming elementer. I stedet for at fordybe sig dybt i et traditionelt rollespil, tager Avowed en mere actionfyldt tilgang med et first-person shooter (FPS) twist, der kan få mange spillere til at spærre øjnene op af overraskelse – om du vil eller ej.

Selvom nogle fans måske skummer af skuffelse, når de opdager, at Avowed ikke helt rammer den AAA-fantasy RPG-oplevelse, de drømte om, så tilbyder spillet alligevel en friskt pust. De hurtige bevægelser og dynamiske kampe føles som en parkour-version af magi; du suser rundt i en farverig verden, mens du kaster spells som en ægte troldmand. Det er en ret underholdende måde at forløse magi på, selvom der er tidspunkter, hvor kampe kan føles repetitivt. Men for dem, der har brug for action i deres fantasy, er der stadig rigeligt at se frem til.

Avowed repræsenterer også en chance for Obsidian at udforske mere komplekse temaer, som hvordan man kan blive opfattet som en kæde af en besættelse. Spillet stiller store spørgsmål nærmere, hvad der gør en helt til skurk, da spillere navigerer i en verden, hvor deres handlinger kan have uventede konsekvenser. Dette er måske ikke den dybeste RPG-oplevelse, men det viser, at Obsidian stadig er i stand til at forestille sig kompleksitet, selv i en mere action-orienteret opsætning.

Forventningerne til Avowed kan måske ikke helt være blevet indfriet, men mange spillere vil alligevel finde værdi i de kreative tiltag. Det kan endda gøre ventetiden på den næste Elder Scrolls lidt lettere. Så hvis du en dag står foran en valg mellem en klassisk RPG eller en vild FPS med magiske indslag, så tænk på Avowed som en sjov afveksling fra det gammelkendte.

Vidste du, at Obsidian Entertainment også står bag det elskede Fallout: New Vegas? De har en lang historie af at skabe dybe og engagerende historier i deres spil. Og mens Avowed måske ikke ligner Skyrim, arbejder de stadig med nogle af de samme fantasy-elementer, der engang fangede den otte svampede hjerne af Monty Python-fans og dungeons & dragons-tosser. Kun tiden vil vise, hvordan Avowed vil blive husket i den lange liste af fantasy-spil!
