    Absolutely fantastic game, but seem a bit slow in the beginning, however the world and the potential opens up after a few hours of playing. If you enjoy magic, battles and open world games - this one is definitely for you, very unique and totally worth the money.

    Would not trust the reviews as most people have not actually played the game, just demo.

    I like the story much, a lot of spells, good graphics.
    The thing is not so well an open world after ending the story mode, but every game got the same.

At first they felt fun to do, but after hours and hours of doing the same thing, it got boring. Which pushed me towards focusing more on the main story line rather than exploring Athia. And #2 while how the game has you traverse Athia is fun and different from other games, it felt extremely weird and clunky at times. Climbing was also annoying as everything wasn’t climbable without certain skills, or abilities. Overall I give this game 8.5/10. It was fun to play paired with a good story, and was bought at a great value. I definitely hope they come out with a Forspoken 2!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. While the game is not perfect, post updates it runs well on ps5, the gameplay is rly solid and fun. The story is a little wacky, but plays on the fish out of water aka isekai formula pretty well. I enjoy the banter, unfortunately, it does repeat at times. I think the game had really high expectations that of course it was not going to live up to. I enjoy the combat, I do enjoy the banter, mostly because I love the style it is going for. I also don't get why people say “people don't talk like this” when these are not people from Earth, but I can't use normal speech patterns and idioms from a society that does not use them. All in all I enjoy the game and wish it did well or better than it did because I think it is leagues better, at least post patch, than people believe it to be.… Expand

    I actually liked the voice of the cuffs and the conversation, it makes the game more alive

    The ambient music is great, I dont like when a game lets you hear just silece and fx sounds, the music helps keeps the tension

    The default configurations are a little dark so I just increase a little of the brighness and or gama and it is more clear

    the graphics are great, I dont feel like they are outdated like some say, some things and areas needed to be more polished

    but overall it is fun to play, enteresting imersive comovent story if you pay attention and read the items

    it is a action RPG game so it has RPG elements like story conversations lore etc...    … Expand

Are nothing that a sequel is gonna bring with it. I think this is gonna be remembered as possibly one of the most under rated game of all time, feels this is the God Hand of this generation.

    I am surprised at the hate this game got, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. While Frey may not be the most likeable character and story feels a little forced, it’s good and enjoyable, full for turns and twists.

    Combat mechanic is great, very satisfying and rich, while not overwhelming, which I found was the case with the demo.

    Traversal is fantastic, world gorgeous and vast. Definitely recommend it.

    The fast pace, the magic, the movement and the combat its pretty fun.

    This game is very fun to play. The traversal and fighjt mechanics are awesome. It's a fast paced game with beautiful graphis. The only thing to complain about are the cutscenes fading to black in a janky way every now and then.

    I remember being really hyped for this and then it came out and I had to so much other stuff to play I didn't pick it up on release.

Then I saw all of the negative feedback and backlash and thought, wow it can't possibly be this bad. I watched a lot of reviews and gameplay videos to see why it is so bad and while most complaints seemed reasonable, I didn't think it deserved to be called one of the worst games ever or even from this year. The negative reviews also didn't really affect me wanting to play it, so I eventually did pick it up.

    What can I say, I really really likes this game. I do agree with a lot of the criticism, but most of it was just way too exaggerated. Clear review bombing by people who maybe played 2 minutes of the game or just watched all the clickbait reviews on youtube makes this game look way worse than it is. The dialogue is fine, it has a few cringe moments here and there, but not in a way that makes you want to cry. I even laughed at some of it and found joy in the character interactions.

    The gameplay is what makes this game though. Beautiful to look at and insanely fluid magic, I have not experienced a game with better magic. The story has the right length and is good, but not amazing. I like some of the characters a lot and didn't care for others at all. The world is a little bland but you need the wide open fields to really make use of that amazing movement. Just as with the magic, I do not know a game with better traversal abilities. So smooth, so fast, so much fun.

    Overall this game is much better than I expected and I really enjoyed it a lot. People should give it a chance, especially when you have the chance to get it on sale.    … Expand

    Forspoken is a fun open world game but with some issues. However they're not anywhere near as bad as some will say. The ridiculous unjustified hatred for this game is just mob mentality blindly hating on a actual decent product. The spell system in Forspoken is slightly better than Hogwarts Legacy in my opinion. If you like open world games then give this a chance you'll enjoy it.

The dialogue isn't as fleshed out as other titles, but it isn't terrible. The travel system and combat is fleshed out and the main point of this game. It's quite the spectacle when you're blowing through an army of enemies with enough magic to blow up Hogwarts. The story can be a little dull at times, but the story led to me being caught out and genuinely suprised on what happened. The game also utilises the ps5 controller quite well, which is nice, as alot of titles tend to skip using the ps5 controllers features. The map itself seems to be a little bland and unfilled, but I genuinely think that's on purpose, due to the story describing the map as a barren and unhabitable wasteland. All in all, it's definitely worth a try.… Expand

    I love the storyline and Frey’s character! It can be difficult to get used to the controls and movement, but it’s super rewarding once you get the hang of it. I was concerned I wouldn’t enjoy it based off of the slower pace at the beginning, but I’m glad I held on because I’m addicted. Very cool game.

    My biggest complaint about this game is the main character. Not sure what the writers where thinking but if you don't like the heroin your not going to like the game. She comes over more like an entitled spoilt brat that is unredeemable. Apart from the character this game had all the ingredients to be great.

    I truly don’t understand the hate. For luminous studios first game I think they did an amazing job. I’m fully convinced the mass gamer base is braindead considering Elden ring can win game of the year and it’s trash. Meanwhile a brand new IP with an interesting story and entirely fresh combat system gets hated on. If it looks cool to you then buy it, screw the haters!

    Too much hatred toward this game(sure, the girl would have been a standard anime girl no one would complain except the swearing.)

    It's a very good game with awesome gameplay.
    Main downfall is it doesnt deliver the expected NEXT GEN experience and way too pricey(like many other current gen)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The truth about the Forspoken game and the facts.

    Reviewers are like the game’s cuff and people who follow and obey them are like those tantas posessed by evil.

    The reviews are wrong because they (reviewers) didn't get early access.

    Some hate the game because it's only made for new powerful machines and talk about bad optimization.

    Some people dislike because the game competes against the Hogwarts game.

    Some hate the game because they only played the tutorial.

    There are also those who dislike the game because the main character is a dark-skinned girl.

    People haven't realized that the moments after the talks when the character doesn't move is because the game doesn't have loading screens, this is the future of gaming.

    The truth is that I played through the game and this was the first game where I didn't encounter any bugs.

    The fact that you hate the cuff is game’s plan and it has a purpose that will be revealed in the story.

    The fact that it's hard for you to relate to the girl is because the girl is a homeless child without a family and the game has a growth story.

    Forspoken has less talking and more action and magic than hogwarts, after the beginning.

    The game has no pointless side quests or boring time passing tasks.

    If you like epic battles and powerful spells, give the game a chance.

    Game lovers, let's fight back and vote: metacritics, steam, google etc.

    Hopefully we will get a sequel to the game.

    For the haters, hating games just means firing employees, less competition for the game industry and less new games and more expensive prices for new games.    … Expand

If you give this game a 0, you are either an unforgiveable incel loser who cannot take a story that mainly follows female characters (gasp!), or you haven't actually played the game for more than an hour. It takes a bit of time to fully unfold. Yes, the main character is not a cookie cutter female archetype, but to me that makes her more interesting.

Yes it could use some patching in a few areas (like touchy non responsive controls at certain points) and I do agree about the likeability of Frey... But her character improves as you get farther into the game.

P.s. don't try to obtain every treasure chest (purple dots on the map). So good I was questioning whether I should buy Hogwarts as I was worried it would be a disappointment after playing this.

    I'm honestly shocked this game has such a low user rating score, but I guess I forget how much people enjoy to hate on new things. After playing the demo, I knew I would enjoy this game, but I had relatively low expectations. As someone who has been playing video games for the last 20 years I've found it hard to find a good game that keeps me interested all the way through.

    I was pleasantly surprised on how diverse the spells are, how many spells there are, how much content there is, and I was genuinely interested in the characters and story.

    I want to rank this a 10 to offer the haters, but realistically the game isn't perfect. I feel it's fair to say the game does everything well but could do better in various areas. I think some people don't love the New York Slums personality the main character has. I think people also might struggle to get used to the magic system. Then people also complain about the world being closed off.

    I genuinely really liked the main character and story, and this is where I felt the game would fall short in the demo. The main character is very real and relatable. She's not just some blank slate hero garbage like we typically see. While the magic system did take time to get used to, once you get a feel for it, it's extremely fun. There's also so many different spells and therefore ways you can choose to play. Personally I'm one of the people who pushed the map boundaries of the game from the start. Especially with the awesome magic parkour, I think everyone wants to go where they're not supposed to. Realistically, outside of that urge, I never had an issue with not being able to go where I wanted. While you might be locked out of chunks of the map until you progress in the main story, you never have a lack of things to explore. The map progression is related to the story progression in an understandable way and i think people that are upset about this are being far too picky.

    I've nearly 100% this game and would recommend it to anyone who likes this genre of game. I think my biggest complaint is that I wish the story was longer. I just wish I could play more.

    Warning! I highly recommend not trying to pick up every treasure chest. If you hit your inventory Max, you will be unable to pick up the chest. Most chest items are also crafting ingredients you can find in the over world. There is also an ungodly amount of chests in the game. After picking up 100% of the chests for the first 25% of the game I started to feel burnt out and was very upset when I found I couldn't pick up the next chest I found.    … Expand

If you race through the main story and do nothing else you’re limiting your entire experience to your own detriment. Combat is super fast pace, fun and dynamic. The amount of enemies and weak points makes for quick tactical changes during battle and keeps each encounter fresh. There’s some truly challenging boss fights (not story related) that make you work for your win. Some of the labyrinth bosses can be pretty insane too. There’s so many different ways to traverse the world and as you play the story and explore the map you find new spells frequently. There’s a lot of charm to the game as well like finding the Tanta’s familiars, chasing cats in Cipal and dancing in the pub. The gear and crafting options are abundant and really can be tailored to your approach to combat. There’s offensive, defensive, curative etc options that again, you’re only going to find by exploring the map and not just rushing through the story. I’m 60 hours in and doing post main story stuff and the game is still loads of fun with more detours and mutants and region bosses to take down. The uniqueness of the gameplay combined with the incredible storytelling (especially the super intense plot twisting crazy last half) make this one of the most memorable game experiences I’ve had in a long while.

    if you want to buy this game right now ask yourself this question, did the people you are listening to for their opinion on this game also tell you cyberpunk 2077 was amazing 10/10? did they tell you tlou2 was 10/10 so much replayability? ok now think about how those games actually panned out, cyberjunk was terrible with abilities the character couldn't even use! 10/10! tlous2 has 5 guns,if you want to buy this game right now ask yourself this question, did the people you are listening to for their opinion on this game also tell you cyberpunk 2077 was amazing 10/10? did they tell you tlou2 was 10/10 so much replayability? ok now think about how those games actually panned out, cyberjunk was terrible with abilities the character couldn't even use! 10/10! tlous2 has 5 guns, 5! 10/10 replayable for decades!

    then you have a game like forspoken, where they aren't trying to tell you this game is going to kill all other games, and yet i'm 50 hours in, have only unlocked 3/4 magic trees and the trophies say 20% off players are at this point. So 80% off players don't even know what the spells do. Half don't know what half of the spells do. And then yours gonna say this game is not at the standard of other AAA trash that gets praised? youre going to complain about the graphics and celebrate elden ring getting goty when it has the same graphics? oh wait forspoken runs at 120fps, woooops every reviewer forgot to add that in huh? so a game that runs better that the goty of last year is bad graphics now, get real.

    this game is hated because the character is a black woman. the gameplay is kingdom hearts 3.5 bet that game didn't get hate for its terrible dialouge presented with stiff characters and the completely contrived story, nope that game is white asian mixture which is ok but black girl wrong    … Expand

    Today I played this game.
    And I can say the critics' ratings are too low
    the game is not perfect, but for a good time, the game is very good, have your own opinion and don't listen to other people, play what you want and how you want.

    Forspoken ofrece grandes enfrentamientos cuando dominas su técnica y sus totalidad de poderes, es increíble la jugabilidad que tiene. Su historia y narrativa está bien, muchos han criticado esto pero deben darle la oportunidad es un muy buen juego

    I'm enjoying the game and I haven't even gotten to the first Tanta yet. Yes, the beginning/intro is slow and fairly empty, but the game opens up tremendously when on your way to Tanta Sila.

    The banter between Frey and Cuff can get repetitive, but there's an option adjust (or turn off) the banter in the settings. As for complaints of throwing around the f-bomb, Frey grew up as an orphan on the streets of NYC working for gangs to get by while also being homeless. She's not going to be some prim and proper princess with the vocabulary of a saint.

    Speaking of Frey and her attitude, I see a lot of people saying they don't like her because all she does is complain and not want to do anything. Well, yeah. She's living in a nightmare. She entered a world where literally everything is trying to kill her and she has to do it all alone because she's the only one that's not affected by the Break/Corruption. It's a scary, lonely world for Frey. Her reluctance to continue is understandable.

    The combat is fun and engaging. The further you go, the tougher the enemies get. However, even with just Frey's earth magic, I've been able to defeat multiple mutants (the big, scary monsters usually guarding chests). It takes time, but the challenge is exciting.

    Performance for me is great. I'm getting fairly steady 70-80 fps with settings maxed. No, it's not 120 (the game is capped at 120 fps), but this also isn't a fast-paced shooter or esport. As long as the frames are consistent and gameplay is smooth, that's all that's really necessary.

    I am disappointed with a couple things. The decision to keep Frey stationary to talk to Cuff after an interaction or cutscene is annoying. There's no point, let me walk and talk. On the topic of cutscenes, I was really hoping they'd match the quality of the trailer. If you're going to fade to black for every transition, then at least use rendered cutscenes. Monolith did an amazing job with the cutscenes in Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War. I'd like to see more of that.

    Overall, I think the game is a ton of fun and deserves a chance. If you're thinking about getting Forspoken because you enjoy the genre but are hesitant because of the reviews, give it a shot and decide for yourself.    … Expand

    forspoken is a very challenging and ambitious title. I love and support the luminas engine. Sorry for the many critical comments. The speed of loading and the fun of the action. There are a lot of cool parts such as magic parkour. Of course, there are places to be improved, but it is not a title to be criticized. It's a pity that the worst users are bombing 0 points.

    I really liked the game, it reminded me of the X360/Ps3 era when the plots of the games were clean and naive in a good way, the same feeling I experienced when watching TV shows like Hercules and Xena Warrior Princess.
    I really liked the music in the game, it is really magical and makes you feel like you are in another world together with the main character Frey.

    And the most important thing that Luminos Production succeeded in is the gameplay, it is epic and fantastic, it is a pleasure to destroy enemies, and the last mission with a flight on a dragon reminded me of the Lair game for Ps3.

    All of Forspoken is a love letter from the Ps3/X360 generation because the game reminds me of Heavenly Sword, Lair, Kameo, Folklore, Panzar and Crimson Dragoon, a huge thank you to the development team for giving me back that carefree time when games were way better than that , which is now being released by most of the industry.

    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.

    Forspoken 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.

    World 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.
