SG 204 | Avowed + Actualidad + ¿Fin de la guerra de consolas?
Episode notes
Sector Gaming goes over impressions of several releases before moving on to the week’s news. They discuss Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii as an action-focused spin-off with combat, minigames and sailing; Kingdom Come: Deliverance II for its hyper-realistic approach and demanding challenges; and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage for its teenage narrative premise. They also preview their Civilization VII review on PlayStation 5, focusing on how the strategy genre adapts to a controller and on the era-change system.
In the news, they cover Forza Horizon 5 coming to PlayStation 5, reports about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard joining PlayStation Plus. The conversation continues with Assassin's Creed Shadows, Fable’s delay, the cancellation of Wonder Woman and the closure of Monolith, as well as Monster Hunter Wilds’ early success and technical problems on PC. The central discussion examines Xbox and PlayStation’s multiplatform strategies and whether exclusives are losing importance.
The final section is devoted to Avowed: its setting in the Pillars of Eternity universe, character creation, story, zone-based exploration, combat, performance and overall verdict. They highlight its choices, lore and exploration, while noting reservations about romances and enemy variety.
