    This game is an average and tasteless open-world (Gameplay/fight is nice and fun)

    (Worst intro/tutorial ever)

    BTW, the game doesn't deserve a red notation. Its not an absolut garbage, don't listen those guys.

    Square Enix should be doing much better than this. Because this game is another disappointment of their's and that will not help their record with us.

    here is my feeling:

    - graphics / ost: 10/10
    - outfits: 4/10
    - story: 8/10
    - secondary quests: 4/10
    - combat system: 6/10

    31/50 -> 6/10

    to this I will add:

    25/50 - 5 = 20/50 -> 4/10

    gráfico extremamente defasado parece de ps3 e xbox 360 , os modelos de personagem e expressão facial parece de um jogo de ps2, a história é ridícula, a direção de arte é precária, mas o combate e a gameplay é muito divertido, e faz com que o jogo que é muito mal feito não se torne algo torturante, a otimização não existe.

    terrivelmente mal otimizado para um jogo lançado pela Square Enix em pleno 2023. faltou capricho. e diálogo muito cringe.

    Overall i felt the game wasn't bad. Decent graphics, but felt it wasn't as smooth as a AAA game should be. Storyline was interesting. Typical fish out of water story. But would have preferred a more linear approach as opposed to an overly large open world game. Could have used more varied enemies and a better variety of side quests that are more fleshed out.

But would have preferred a more linear approach as opposed to an overly large open world game. Could have used more varied enemies and a better variety of side quests that are more fleshed out. As far as the main character goes, I didn't mind her. Voice acting was good. Banter between her and Cuff was occasionally funny. It feels weird that people complain about her swearing. I was fine with that. Here's my problem. Her character arc took way too long for her to turn around. By the 50% mark she should have flipped from angry and flippant to a bit more likeable and invested in what was going on around her. This would have showed more consistent growth. Waiting until almost the end for her to 'come around' wasn't a great decision. It's okay to make a protagonist unlikable. I find it refreshing, but you have to show positive character growth throughout instead of doing a 180 at the end of the story or it comes off as unrealistic. A good example of how it should be done is in the recent series Wednesday. Started off unlikable, but by the halfway point you really enjoy the protagonist, and at the end the character growth felt satisfying. Regardless, Forspoken doesn't deserve the review bombing. It was fun. I enjoyed playing it, but felt the three main weaknesses were: repetitive quests, open world worked against the story, and character growth took far too long.… Expand

    J'ai acheté Forspoken a 30 euros et apres plusieurs mois pour attendre des patchs et franchement, le jeu est LOIN d'être aussi mauvais que ce que l'on pense.
    L'histoire est très intéressante et le point fort est le gameplay (très actif et tout en temps réel).
    Il faut absolument jouer en difficile pour ressentir la pression qui pèse sur ce monde. Bref ce n'est pas le GOTY de l'année mais    J'ai acheté Forspoken a 30 euros et apres plusieurs mois pour attendre des patchs et franchement, le jeu est LOIN d'être aussi mauvais que ce que l'on pense.

    Doesn't matter that the effects and magic look great, or that the art stylization is breathtaking at times, when you're standing on a desolate plain and looking into the fog most of the time, because the creators simply couldn't manage a decent visibility. This is how games were made a decade ago. The only thing I wouldn't be afraid to praise the authors for is the action, which has pace, and the magical abilities bestowed on the protagonist by the magic bracelet. [Issue#325]

    For all its ambition, Forspoken doesn't bring much new to the genre, and instead falls into various pitfalls common with open-world games. While the combat is serviceable and fun in spurts, the game's narrative, characters, and exploration all come up short. It's too bad it seems like Forspoken won't get a second chance, because I think there is some potential sitting dormant underneath all the imperfections, but it looks like Frey's journey will remain a missed opportunity.

    Forspoken is not worth either your money, or your time. Even were it offered for free, perhaps as part of a free weekend promotion on Steam, or as one of the rotating weekly free game giveaways on the Epic Games Store, it would still be too high a price to pay, as the time investment costs far outweigh the doubtful pleasure of experiencing what little Forspoken has to offer.
