    Can these companies stop using Black people as their voice for woke concepts? Down with the system, screw society, all that garbage. Its becoming cringe, anytime I see a Black person in a game now im already assuming its political woke garbage. Its time to stop. Also games garbage ggwp, learn from the TLOU2 and stop with garbage narratives.

    It’s honestly criminal how low effort and generic this game is. Story, graphics, characters and gameplay are all extremely boring and average at best. The game has no charm and lots of very cringe dialogue. Can’t believe Final Fantasy XV expansions got cancelled to make this trash. Awful game!

Todo se ve del mismo color gris cafe, luego zonas completas con filtros de color horribles como la parte todo azul del dragon. Ciudades vacias y sin chiste o vida, los npc's parecen de ps2 con movimientos totalmente roboticos y repetitivos, pero lo peor de todo es la "niebla" que se usa de una manera nefasta clara mente para ocultar cosas a la lejania y reducir la distancia de dibujado.

    La historia es sosa, nada que te enganche, personajes forzados a cumplir con ideoligias politicamente correctas que simplemente estan de sobra.

    La jugabilidad bastante regular, nada que no se haya visto en juegos como black desert(por ejemplo) que ya tienen bastantes años. Lo de combinar poderes y elementos es algo interesante pero se pierde totalmente cuando te enfrentas a enemigos con nula inteligencia.
    El parkour tambien es una idea buena pero mal ejecutada, juegos como spiderman o Dying light le dan 300 vueltas en mecanicas de movilidad, a eso le agregas que es un mundo vacio y se te quita el poco gusto que tenia la mecánica.

    La optimizacion es pesima, pero es algo que se puede mejorar, todo lo de mas no.

    Para mi, un fracaso total de Square y PS. (Juagado en PC con una 3060ti, 16 ram, i5 10400f)    … Expand

    This terrible game is poorly optimized even for the PS5 which it was supposed to showcase as a graphical powerhouse. Instead you get low res 21 fps. That's quite some triple A scam and its up to you to decide if they deserve your money.

    isufferable dialog that I had to stop playing. though the gameplay was alright it became so repetitive I've grown bored of it. the world looks bland compared from another Square Enix open world game FFXV, and that came out 6 years ago. I still would've continue to see how it ended but I can't stand it's cringey dialogue.

    One of the most unlikable protagonists I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing as. This is what happens when untalented writers think being rude, mean, and insufferable is supposed to somehow mean the character is “strong” and “independent”. There is no redemption arc, either. She’s a jerk all the way up to the end where she does a complete 180 for pretty much no reason whatsoever.

The story is terrible. The protagonist is so annoying. The dialogue is cringeworthy and so are the running animations. The physics are beyond horrible. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. There is a lack of enemy variety. I couldn't even jump into a pond full of water, because these developers were too cheap to make swimming mechanics. In what world does a modern AAA open world game lack swimming mechanics?

    There is nothing to do in the open world. It's just an empty lifeless world full of plants, trees, rocks and a boring copied and pasted ancient looking city. I am sick to death of developers making the same open world games over and over again. It's always this empty landscape with a few ancient architectures and weird looking monsters. Where's the variety in AAA games? If I wanted this ancient civilization stuff, then I would go watch the History Channel. Oh that's right, even the History Channel understood that ancient civilization is boring, so they added reality shows like Pawn Stars for ratings. These developers need to cut down on this ancient civilization trash and leave that stuff to books. Speaking of ancient, it's no wonder why a fossil like GTA V currently outsells AAA games that were barely released last year. What else are people suppose to buy when these out of touch developers make the same boring and empty open world game with ancient civilization? You see that NYC section at the very start of the game? That's what I want to explore, but the developers were too cheap and lazy to make an open world game in an urban area. It's easier to copy/paste plants everywhere and use rural areas as an excuse for lack of NPCs.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. Once again, is it a surprise why GTA V outsells newer games and will eventually outsell this trash before Summer or even Spring? What else are people suppose to buy when so many games have no multiplayer? Ancient civilization, empty worlds, no online, do video game developers not want to make any freaking money? Jesus Christ are these developers so out of touch. I can't even blame Rockstar for their laziness and re-releasing GTA V for the hundredth time. Why bother releasing GTA 6 when the rest of the developers are even lazier, to the point where they don't even want to compete against GTA 5. I don't recommend this game at all.    … Expand

At 10 hours the story was just about there but very thin The commentary was starting to grate just a little but was my sense of humour so i coped. Everything went downhill from there. The story became condensed with each boss kill I began to think I was being rushed to the end. The map was a nightmare to work with I tried to do everything side quests etc but you had to search for them The decision towards the end meant either the game was instant over or you continues on but after 20 hours i was done Replayability none So much money for 20 hours gameplay which at best was very poor I feel ripped off… Expand

Players have reported instances where the game would randomly freeze or crash, causing them to lose progress and restart from an earlier point. These glitches are especially prevalent during fast-paced, high-stress moments in the game, leading to frustration and annoyance.

    Another common issue with the game is the presence of visual and audio glitches. Characters might suddenly disappear or appear in strange places, and audio cues may not match the on-screen action. This can cause confusion and disorientation for players, making it difficult to accurately assess the situation and respond appropriately.

    The glitches in the game are not limited to just the visual and audio components. Gameplay mechanics are also affected, with players reporting issues with hit detection, collision detection, and other critical elements. These issues make it difficult for players to control their characters and progress through the game, as they often find themselves at the mercy of the game's unpredictable and faulty programming.

    The game is widely considered to be plagued by an excessive number of glitches that negatively impact the player experience. Whether it's the frequent crashes, visual and audio anomalies, or faulty gameplay mechanics, these glitches make it difficult for players to fully enjoy the game and its features. As a result, many players have expressed disappointment and frustration with the game and its developers, who have yet to provide a satisfactory solution to these ongoing issues.    … Expand

The side quests we’re so bland and boring , just your typical chores I couldn’t do anymore after 2 so who knows maybe they got better after that? I cannot stand Frey as a character , she is literally a horrible person thorough and though to the very end. No seriously I thought at the end by the last couple chapters she would have some kind of character development but she has 0 redemption I kid you not… I remember in the 2nd to last chapter I believe she has a friend who’s father was just killed and she tells her “She doesn’t give a sh** if her world burns” and she does not feel one shred of remorse. The entire game there is practically no consequences to her horrible actions at all. And when I say she’s a horrible character I am not exaggerating a single bit , every time something bad happened she was like “you you you” then whenever anything good happened she was like “me me me”… Expand

    I never feel the need to leave reviews on games but I took this one personally. £60! I'm not joking when I say that it is a truly bad experience in every imaginable aspect. The only reason I have even given it a 1 is because it has taught me a valuable life lesson to watch gameplay videos before buying a game. Because buying Forspoken is one of the worst mistakes I have made in gaming.

    I do not like the art style, I prefer crisp and clear visuals, things they were not going for, but I respect the choices of people who liked the art style. The writing is egregious. The very start of the game and its setup is well written, which is strange, because the remaining 98% is awful. It's like two people wrote the plot of this game, one of them was competent, but couldn't write for video games, the other one was a gamer, but a completely incompetent writer. The combo of terrible writing + bad and boring combat makes this game unsalvageable.

    The only thing that can be called just somewhat well done is the mechanic of magical combats. Not bad, because magic doesn't touch the outside World at all. You can't set an enemy on fire with fire magic, for example. And there are no combos or connection between magic(water + electro).

    Reseña:

    Lamentablemente, mi experiencia con el juego Forspoken ha sido bastante decepcionante. A pesar de las expectativas iniciales y las promesas de un juego emocionante y envolvente, me encontré con una serie de aspectos que hicieron que mi experiencia fuera frustrante y poco gratificante.

    En primer lugar, la trama del juego no logró captar mi interés. Los personajes y la historia carecían de profundidad y desarrollo, lo que dificultaba mi conexión emocional con el juego. Además, las misiones y objetivos se volvieron repetitivos y predecibles, lo que hizo que la experiencia se volviera monótona después de un tiempo.

    Otro aspecto problemático fue la jugabilidad. Los controles resultaron incómodos e imprecisos, lo que afectó mi capacidad para realizar movimientos y acciones de manera fluida. Además, encontré numerosos errores y problemas técnicos, como caídas de fotogramas y tiempos de carga excesivamente largos, que interrumpieron constantemente mi inmersión en el juego.

    A nivel visual, aunque el juego prometía impresionantes gráficos y entornos detallados, me encontré con que la calidad visual no cumplía con las expectativas. Los gráficos parecían desactualizados y carecían de la viveza y la atención al detalle que esperaba.

    Por último, el sistema de progresión y recompensas del juego resultó ser desalentador. El avance en el juego requería un esfuerzo considerable y los logros obtenidos no se sentían lo suficientemente gratificantes. Esto hizo que me cuestionara la inversión de tiempo y energía que estaba poniendo en el juego.

    En resumen, Forspoken no cumplió con mis expectativas y me dejó con una sensación general de insatisfacción. La falta de una trama convincente, la jugabilidad deficiente, los problemas técnicos y los gráficos deslucidos contribuyeron a una experiencia desalentadora. Como jugador, no puedo recomendar este juego en su estado actual.    … Expand

    I bought this game at the very start for all 70 dollars. To be honest, after a couple of hours, when the prologue finally ended and I was allowed to play freely, I realized that I would not give even 40, and after another couple of hours of mournful grinding in a completely empty open world, I lowered the bar to 25-30.

To be honest, after a couple of hours, when the prologue finally ended and I was allowed to play freely, I realized that I would not give even 40, and after another couple of hours of mournful grinding in a completely empty open world, I lowered the bar to 25-30.
    This game feels very, very underdeveloped. The only thing here is a competent combat system. Attention, I'm not saying that she's good, she's just that competent. From the AAA project, I expected more than a parody of InFamous with cooldown skills that need to be developed by going through literally thousands of identical events to destroy magical mutants. The parkour was pretty good as part of the combat system, but again, give me more than running, jumping, dashing and grappling - it's in any reasonably advanced game. Although the animations are not bad, yes, but it is spoiled by the horrendous graphics, by the way.
    For starters, let's get some decent graphics: I don't want to point fingers, but Final Fantasy 15, made over 7 years ago, has better graphics and lower hardware requirements. I understand that the fear that the game will be hacked faster than it is released is justified, but let's be honest, now game developers have lost more from unsold copies than from pirated ones.
    Secondly, give events that will not be associated with the extermination of the fauna of the infected world: yes, at least a damn escort mission! I'm tired of running around the empty world from point to point, collecting mana and resources - is this a AAA project or a grind simulator?
    Finally, give me the opportunity to customize the character: it's not even about whether I'm a hidden chauvinist or not, I just don't like Frey's personality, neither at the end of the game, nor even at the beginning - it smacks too much of low-grade teenage women's novels for " girls who are not like everyone else." If I were given the opportunity to influence the plot of the game more than the choice of the order of questions asked by Frey, then I would be a little less unhappy. I understand that it seems to the big bosses that "being progressive and standing up for the rights of аfrican аmericans and women, and even more so аfrican аmerican women, is fashionable", but I remind you that the gaming audience is still only 30% of them. You are shooting yourself in the foot, dear developers.
    On this I would like to finish, I give the game 3 points for attempting the magic system, well, I will add a point for parkour. Total 4/10.    … Expand

    Movement - it can feel fun and fast when you unlock some more things. They built the open world around the fast pace traversal which also lends itself to a con.

    Forspoken, a highly anticipated action-adventure game, had the potential to be a groundbreaking experience with its "wonderful" open-world setting and promising narrative. However, after hours of gameplay, I found myself deeply disappointed, as it failed to deliver on the expectations it set.

    First and foremost, the game's biggest downfall lies in its narrative. While the premise seemed intriguing at the outset, the execution fell flat. The protagonist's character development lacked depth and authenticity, making it hard to connect emotionally with her journey. The plotline also suffered from predictability and cliches, leaving me uninterested in the overarching story.

    Furthermore, the gameplay mechanics failed to impress. Combat felt clunky and unrefined, leaving me frustrated during intense battles. The controls lacked precision, hindering my ability to fully immerse myself in the world. Despite boasting magic abilities, the magic system felt underwhelming and poorly integrated into the gameplay, reducing its impact on combat scenarios.

    The open-world environment, while visually stunning, proved to be mostly empty and lacking in interactive elements. The lack of meaningful side quests and activities left me feeling aimless and unengaged as I traversed through the vast landscape. The NPCs' dialogue felt repetitive and uninspired, further diminishing my interest in exploring the world they inhabit.

    Moreover, Forspoken's technical issues severely hindered the overall experience. Frequent frame rate drops, texture pop-ins, and various bugs marred the gameplay, leading to frustrating interruptions and detracting from the game's visual splendor.

    The game's sound design, while decent, did little to elevate the overall experience. The background music failed to leave a lasting impression, and the voice acting, though competent, couldn't compensate for the game's lackluster narrative.

    On top of all these shortcomings, the microtransactions and intrusive monetization elements were a significant turnoff. The constant push towards purchasing cosmetic items and in-game currency cheapened the gaming experience, giving it a 'pay-to-win' vibe and leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.

    In conclusion, Forspoken had the potential to be a remarkable gaming experience, but it ultimately falls short on multiple fronts. Its lackluster narrative, flawed gameplay mechanics, unimpressive open-world, technical issues, and obtrusive monetization all contribute to a game that is not only forgettable but also disappointing. It's saddening to witness such a promising concept go to waste. Unless substantial updates and improvements are made, Forspoken is a game I'd be hard-pressed to recommend to anyone seeking an immersive and memorable gaming experience.    … Expand

    Forspoken has plenty of other glaring issues like its occasionally janky platforming that results in Frey falling off buildings or its less than memorable soundtrack. It also has a number of additional points to praise like the scale of its cities and the cast of cute cat chimeras that Frey can lay down and cuddle with. This duality of fantastic ideas with less-than-stellar execution places Forspoken in a place where very few games end up — smack dab in the middle. It’s not so bad that it should be burned by fire, but not nearly good enough to make anyone’s game of the year list.
