Jun 24, 2023Weak game I think, very very unsympathetic main character and very unclean graphics and performance. The game is really not polished in general. Gameplay, however, is really fun in some places.

Jun 4, 2023Thanks to the fun combat and parkour, this is a good 10-15 hour experience if you ignore most of the open world content (which is bland and repetitive). The story has some good moments and some bad, but way too much exposition. The pacing is terrible. The map is terrible. Needing to run over glowing spots to get upgrade points is terrible.

May 16, 2023It's really a game that's not worth $70, but it's not a garbage game either, this game is on sale at $30/$40 if it's worth it, I'll buy it at this price and it's very entertaining, graphically it's not wonderful but it's worth it play it, I don't understand the bad reviews, I guess because of the high price. This game should have been $50 really, advice never buy a launch game

May 12, 2023The combat in particular is its greatest weakness, but there are some good elements here. The world is a wasteland, but we've seen our share of those at this point. The story is unoriginal if you watch isekai anime. The characters are hit or miss in their likeability. Overall, it's underwhelming. But it absolutely does not deserve so many 0 scores, that's ridiculous.

Mar 28, 2023Seemed like a walking simulator for 90% of the first 90 minutes. I could see how some could like this at least. Once I finally got past walking and cutscenes, i found the combat subpar and forced. I didnt catch any woke bs, but the cutscenes made me lose most interest pretty quick, so I could have missed it. I did like the exploring aspect.

Mar 10, 2023A very boring open world game or a dead open world, but there are high-quality graphics, and also the gameplay is acceptable, but the story and the open world are very stupid. If this game $ 30 will be good to try

Mar 5, 2023This review is after beating the game, almost 100% it. If you play only for the gameplay like I did I'd say it's an 8/10, otherwise I'd say 4/10. My main complaint when only playing for the gameplay is that there's not a lot of bosses and all the bosses are easy.

Feb 13, 2023A game of mixed parts (some things good and others bad or awful) make this a difficult game to review. story is okay but the protagonist is difficult to like. Voice acting is good but the script has some weak spots. Graphics for the models are nice but the environment is bland. Combat is good but it takes way too long to unlock all the parts. Movement is fluid for somethings and not others.

Feb 12, 2023Looks pretty good. Has some control issues. Extremely repetitive voice work. Story is uninspired. Gameplay isn’t bad.

Feb 10, 2023Game its not a 0 like some people say. Game is bad, but in the end its enjoy enjoyable

Feb 8, 2023I played the game until the end: it's not nearly as bad as the campaign to smear it makes it out to be. It turns into a fun exploration game with magical parkour that's actually a lot of fun to play. There are a ton of spells from a few different classes of magic that you can switch between, so you can play your own way.
I enjoyed the story.
I give it a 7/10, would buy again at half price -

Feb 5, 2023Good combat and movement system and decent performance in performance mode. Quality and RT modes are in my opinion unplayable in this game.
If anyone wants to play this game for an interesting story, lore or characters then they should start looking for other games.

Oct 10, 2023Forspoken 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.

Jun 23, 2023Forspoken feels like an interesting blend of gameplay elements from Square Enix projects past and present, but we're not certain it all comes together. A middling story and combat make its fun parkour harder to bear.

Mar 13, 2023World exploration in Forspoken can bring you some real joy, and same could be said about the combat system. And yet the writing, weird visual presentation, and overall direction can really bring the whole experience down.
