I don’t really understand this mentality. Is it a younger gamer thing? I can enjoy games on their own merits without having to compare them with anything else. Besides, the best aspect of Avowed is its gameyness so to speak . It’s just the right length and pick up and play enough that busy people like me can play it and actually finish it. I’ve been meaning to play BG3 but I if I do I have to commit to it for a year at least, and that’s a hard pill to swallow. And I always finish every game I start, especially RPGs.

Well I'm almost 40 so not a young thing. I also have a pretty packed work week and it's not a set schedule. The only difference between us is that gaming is my main hobby. I don't follow any sportsball, and the only other hobbies are things like TTRPGs and building Legos or Gunpla. And it's pretty common to judge something based on the contemporaries of what it is. You can like something, and my not liking it doesn't lessen your enjoyment.
