Highly recommended
I quite enjoy adventure games, but find myself quickly frustrated at the kind of absurd puzzles that they sometimes rely on. Thankfully Unavowed focuses more on the story and characters, which is the perfect sweet spot for me. The UI has also been streamlined. Inconsequential items in the scene are explained with text by moving the move over them, removing the "click on trash bag, listen to the player explain that it is a trash bag, try to interact with the trash bag, listen to the player tell you that they don't want to search through trash" back and forth that is so typical in this genre, which gets old quickly. Also the player character is not voiced, meaning once you click the conversation option, the other characters respond immediately. These are small changes, but I found that I enjoyed the game more because of the faster pace. While the game pace has been increased, there are a lot more scenes in Unavowed compared to previous Wadjet eye games, so you still get a sense of being part of the world rather than quickly clicking the one or two interactive items and moving on. The art is gorgeous, the voice acting is (as always with Wadjet Eye) professionally done, and I love the commentary track. Frequent (but subtle) shoutouts to the Blackwell series are rewarding for long time Wadjet eye fans. The only complaint I have is that because the player is silent, they feel like a glorified mouse cursor. All the other characters have rich dialog and beautiful voice recordings, but I find myself only half reading the players conversation choices and quickly selecting one because I'm not invested in that side of the conversation. If the player was removed completely, all interaction was done via the companion characters, and you were presented with simple, impersonal conversation path options like "let the demon go" or "kill the demon", it feels like the majority of the game wouldn't change. Overall still a great game, and highly recommended.
