Avowed gameplay exceeds initial 40-hour expectations

Avowed is proving to be a longer game than initially expected. Early estimates suggested a playtime of around 40 hours, but players are finding it takes much longer to complete due to extensive side quests and exploration opportunities. The game encourages players to explore its detailed environments, leading to unexpected discoveries and extended gameplay. Some players report finishing in about 40 hours, while others have exceeded 100 hours, highlighting the game's flexibility in playstyle. Avowed's design keeps players engaged with hidden content and rich dialogue, making it difficult to rush through. This has led to a more immersive experience, with many players enjoying the journey rather than focusing solely on completion.
