    This is a pretty good game actually found the story surprisingly good it has some really touching moments that show the growth of the character. Combat is fun but could have been better if they just went with a similar approach that infamous used. Traversal is a highlight in the game it is fast and offers some platforming to reach shrines and chests.

Combat is fun but could have been better if they just went with a similar approach that infamous used. Traversal is a highlight in the game it is fast and offers some platforming to reach shrines and chests. I would say give it a chance you will probably find a game that you love. Also I think this game was made by a very small team which is even more impressive with the size and scope of the project that being said I'm just going by the end credits that showed cast and crew and licenses they used it was a very short list in comparison to other titles… Expand

    Clunky gameplay, annoying main character, lame menus/fonts, and I’m so glad I tried the demo and didn’t waste my money on this dumpster fire.

    Graphics look like a mod for Gothic 3 or some other outdated medieval rpg.
    Main characters are absolutely dislikeable.
    Story is bland.
    Musik sounds like being taken from a soundpool library for "medieval magic" and is forgettable.

    It feels like a poor try to fit Narnia into something woke....
    Better to waste money on something else.

    Just wonder if people who like the game, and give it high marks, is only for the "Cool, female African American" that is the main protagonist? She's foul mouthed and very, obnoxious, and unlikeable. Why not a positive role model to travel through the game with instead of a stereotyped one? Gameplay is mediocre at best and the only real fun is scooting around the environment.

    This is one of the worst games I've seen. OMG, this is a big pile of trash. Horrible graphs, horrible puzzles and the dialogs are so cringe that could make you sick. Run away from this.

    The game would be considered decent if it was an Indie game, priced at a max of 40$, but considering it is a AAA game, marketed as aiming for the best graphic, this is absolute trash if we look at optimization and quality. This can be called a flop even if it was an Indie game

    Foreskin is probably the worst game i've seen in years, they made NASA requirements because they knew how **** the game performed, and even then it stutters the entire time.

    This should have been a banger, but it ended up being embarassing. Mid open world graphics, awful dialogues, terrible cutscenes, dated gameplay. Square Enix, you can do better.

    I wanted to like this but I couldn’t get past the cheesy dialogue and boring combat. Hope this studio can recover from this and learn from their mistakes as I think there’s a lot of talented people there.

    Bad graphics, not as impressive as other next-gen games
    Awful story, lip syncing and dialogue
    Too much unnecessary parkour
    The environment is boring
    Cut-scenes are abrupt, have texture loading problems and not well made
    Bad UI
    Overpriced

    The game suffered a huge graphical downgrade. 720p 30fps is no longer acceptable in 2023. Character animations are weird.

    This 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.

    Forspoken is a worse version Infamous in a nutshell. I would not recommend spending $70 on this crap, the open world was massively boring for me. This game is not engaging whatsoever, and the combat is mediocre at best.

    Whatever few positive points I can find to say about this game (the traversal can be satisfying, especially later on as more movement abilities open up) are swallowed up in totality the cloud of Forspoken’s mediocre graphics, disturbingly bad writing, and shallow combat. An absolute disaster of a game with a particularly

    It looks like Square Enix went to the same recruiting agency that has been supplying the individuals trashing the Disney Marvel Universe. It literally has the same humor as the recent She Hulk. The positive here is at least it's not an existing intellectual property being trashed. The main character is completely unlikable with no redeeming qualities. She is literally nasty to peopleIt looks like Square Enix went to the same recruiting agency that has been supplying the individuals trashing the Disney Marvel Universe. It literally has the same humor as the recent She Hulk. The positive here is at least it's not an existing intellectual property being trashed. The main character is completely unlikable with no redeeming qualities. She is literally nasty to people that just helped her to an unnatural level where it doesn't even make sense. If the gameplay is just average the story and characters need to make up for it which this game doesn't. Stop listening to the few woke extra loud squeaky wheels and in quotes "professional" game critics that are activist in disguise. Honestly diversity even made sense in the beginning of this game but to overdo it with making every single person in power a women looks like it was just pushing an agenda instead of focusing on making a good game. Diversity is good and won't ruin a good game but forced diversity can make an average game bad which the user scores clearly show. Average game play, average graphics, points for being weird, not likable main character, and way to many other games to play to finish this one. The game is a typical 6 but a 0 for forced diversity making it a 3. It can be immersion breaking & immersion is the whole reason people like Square Enix games. You kill immersion you kill Square Enix. I play videogames to escape the politics of this stupid world and when even I can pull out a scorecard while playing a game something is really wrong. If this is where games are headed thank god there are so many old ones that I have enough for a life time.… 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.

    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.
