    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. I would say give it a chance you willThis 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. 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What is this abomination? Without a doubt, this game is one of the most cringe-worthy experiences I have ever encountered. The worst part is that there doesn't seem to be anything redeeming about the entire experience; it's just a terrible mess from start to finish.… Expand

    Do not walk behind the herd in a matter that you do not know anything about, and support it with all fanaticism, so as not to be likened to sheep. The game is beautiful, do not judge it opponents or evaluators, the player is the one who determines the game whether it is beautiful or not and not, those people who try free review copies.

    This game is nowhere near as bad as most people make it believe it is.Not perfect but very enjoyable.

    Unoptimized woke trash. More one liners than Marvel movies. Lags even on RTX 4090. For 80 Euro you can get at least 3 better games.

    Really enjoying the game but there is a a few issues with lighting as the colour seems to be flat story is alright was predictable but the combat is really fun once you get into it think people need to play for themselves and not jump on the bandwagon.

    Very good and varied gameplay with an interesting story, but not in the most well-developed open world. It's a pity that the developers, apparently, did not have enough time and money to implement everything at the highest level, but even in its current state it's a good game.

    Give it a try because it’s worth it. Made for the dual sense and for the PS5. The story is really good, parkour is smooth and fun and all the magic spells are amazing.

    If u just skip all the really bad-designed subquests/secondary objectives and u focus on the main game you'll have a decent game with a super cool combat system.
    The first 6-7 hours are really boring tho...this could be so much better, sometimes you feel like you're testing an alpha version of the game since there are many things that are just roughed.
    This hate is nonsense btw.

    This game had bad performance, bad writing, too expensive, unfinished. I think it's average. I am rating it a little high but I could see this game being for someone but not for me. I wish they were able to finish the game and given the money for a decent writer. The movement which was the big marketing point I saw it was clunky but had moments that were ok.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Dialogue is cringey and ruins what would be an average game. The open world is dry and feels barren. The protagonist is extremely unlikeable. I played 9 hrs and decided I don’t care how it ends. I uninstalled and hid in my library. It’s that awful.… Expand

    La natation de ce jeux n'est peut-être pas très original le monde ouvert n'est qu'un open-world de plus mais le gameplay vaus un petit coup d'œil même si je pense qu'il aurait pu être beaucoup plus intéressant petit bémol pour moi on nous promet une histoire de 40 h je suis arrivé au bosse de fin en a peut près 28h, le suspense du méchant tombe a l'eau un peu trop rapidement mais j'aiLa natation de ce jeux n'est peut-être pas très original le monde ouvert n'est qu'un open-world de plus mais le gameplay vaus un petit coup d'œil même si je pense qu'il aurait pu être beaucoup plus intéressant petit bémol pour moi on nous promet une histoire de 40 h je suis arrivé au bosse de fin en a peut près 28h, le suspense du méchant tombe a l'eau un peu trop rapidement mais j'ai apprécié c'est 28 h tout de même, je pense que le gameplay de chaque type de magie d'attque ce recemble un peut trop alors que les magie de soutien sont plutôt originales donc plutôt positif.

    Evry vote under the 7,5 has been written without playing the game. Forspoken has one of the best combat system i ever played and a more interesting story then other AC or Halo or Spiderman etc. Jut play it.

    This isn't on tier with the best AAA titles out there but it is a SOLID game. and I'm sorry but our options shouldn't be 'game of the year' candidate or trash. There is a space for this kind of game. Very reminiscent of infamous, prototype, other power fantasy games. Fun gameplay, decent enough story, and the protags unlikability is literally central to the plot for those that botheredThis isn't on tier with the best AAA titles out there but it is a SOLID game. and I'm sorry but our options shouldn't be 'game of the year' candidate or trash.

No clue why this is getting review bombed.

    This game is a pure joke. Poor story. Downgraded graphics from the trailer big time. A bland and boring open world, bad dialogue and Soundtrack that’s extremely annoying.

    They could use a better writer when it comes to the dialogue and cutscenes. I find it really hard to connect with the characters. The gameplay is very tedious and find no reason to come back and paly it again. Forespoken will probably be in Walmart's $5 bin in a few weeks.

As far as the gameplay after 15 hours or so maybe a bit less I felt as though I had got control of my character. I thought when I pay through on max level in a month or two i will be right. 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

    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.
