    This game is amazing!!!! I have not been wowed by a PlayStation 5 game in so long. The story, the side quests, the massive map, the character growth. It truly is a great game and reminds me of the infamous games with a slightly cornier dialogue. The dialogue is corny but similar to many ps2 games but in a good way.

    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.

    This game is amazing so far not sure why it's getting all the hate. It does have a few problems but overall it's a good game.

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

    A 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.

    Can't even play it, my eyes hurt with lows fps, the resolution is one of the biggest jokes I have seen in this and past generations.

    Asked for a refund, they don't want to give me a refund.

    Bought this game on sale from PlayStation, the fact that it didn’t even release a year ago and I bought the digital deluxe version for a little over $50 as opposed to $95 says something. The opening of the game is a huge slog to get through and the amount of hand holding is ridiculous. The story isn’t half bad, I don’t hate it, but I’m not particularly invested in it either.

Unlike many others I don’t think Frey is an awful character, she definitely has her issues though. Conversation between her and Cuff range from cringe to kind of funny, getting a chuckle out of me every now and again, over heard far worse dialogue between characters before though, so this isn’t something that I will crucify this game for. Fighting is very fun, especially against bosses or bigger enemies and taking out huge amounts of enemies in an arena style battle is very entertaining, but out in the world coming across 4-5 normal enemies it become very repetitive. Open world is boring and just landscape you run through, nothing worth noting there. Graphics are beautiful and I really like how they did the haptic feedback, it’s the first game that I can recall who did so much with it. All in all it is definitely not the best game ever, but not the worst game I’ve ever played either. Definitely do not pay full price for it, but pick it up while it’s on sale if you’re looking for something to kill time between other titles releasing.… Expand

Although, the game actually doesn’t lack content at all—in fact, it has so much uninteresting filler (side) tasks and activities, it quickly becomes a painstaking chore to complete any of them… As much as I tried to hate the game though (fueled by all the negativity surrounding this game), I was never quite able to. For all this game does wrong it also does a lot well. I especially liked the gameplay and parkour. It didn’t outstay its welcome during my playthrough and it kept evolving just enough to keep me hooked, until the credits rolled. The graphics, at times, were also quite impressive. My advice would be to pick this game up for at least half price and do a full playthrough of just the main story, without bothering about any of the extremely dull side quests and activities. This way you’ll have your money’s worth.… Expand

    Forspoken e bom jogo de exploração e com muitas magias combate
    Bom joguei Forspoken por cerca 25hs e 30min, foi muito positivo. Gostei muito da jogabilidade, exploração do mapa, magias, parkour, combate por último trilha sonora. Tem certas pessoas que estão fazendo comentários polêmicos, de que o game está totalmente cagado, que o jogo e um mundo vazio, sofreu downgrade, que isso não vale pena e etc. Como eu não vi isso tudo na minha própria experiencia tão problemática seríssimo grave. Porém tenho uma ressalva, tem uns problemas que seria de desempenho/performance e expressão facial estão feios mesmo, vou simplifica minhas impressões que vi neste game.
    Gameplay / Jogabilidade – (Satisfatório e bom)
    Gostei muito do estilo com mistura de magia e parkour e a jogabilidade é bem interessante que considero satisfatório, para quem realmente gosta do estilo classe de mago, temos personagem principal Frey Holland, porem ela tem uma personalidade muito forte, ela era de uma gangue, daí a brutalidade. Gostei muito por parte que temos bastante acesso de magia, existem até 100 feitiços disponíveis no jogo. Os jogadores podem investir em diferentes tipos de feitiço (terra, fogo, etc.) e podem alternar entre eles a qualquer momento. Ela tem 4 tipos básicos de magia (Suporte, Corpo a Corpo, amarilha e tiro longa distância e por último super especial). Porem fica ressalvo, progresso árvores de habilidades é extremamente lento. Isso poderia ser um ponto negativo, por que te força a explorar o mapa para que possamos ter acesso a novas magias, fazendo alguns desafios.
    Gráfico / Desempenho (Excelente e Péssimo)
    Bom para começa excelente a relação dos gráficos cenários, e bastante detalhes que estão bonitos mesmo, ate vestimenta dos personagens NPC (Conselhos, reis, chefes) que tem uma partícula de detalhes muito interessante, até mesmo mapa/cenários estão muito bonitos rochas, águas, e as animações. Porém, a animação das expressões faciais dos personagens, percebemos que estão mal acabados, chega ser bem tosco isso, existem dois tipos de cena, uma cena gameplay narrativa e outra cena que parece filme que realmente estão bonitos demais.
    Legendado Pt-Br / Trilha sonora - Extremamente Excelente e regular
    Trilha sonora e muito boa mesmo, tanto com exploração e combate com muita excelente com adaptação trilha sonora gameplay. Agora tradução legendado, não gostei tanto assim algumas conversas com Frey Holland, exemplo Frey conversando com personagens e vez dizer sinto muito ou desculpa uma coisa nesse tipo, não e ela simplesmente fala “NOSSA QUE BOSTA” rsrsrs, tem umas traduções dialogo que ficou não ficou legal, e você vai perceber isso.
    Ponto positivo
    Jogabilidade com uma mistura excelente Magia e parkour – Temos mais 100 tipos de magias que poderia aprimora árvores de habilidade, com várias magias elemental interessante. E o Parkour e muito divertido com essa toda velocidade indo exploração dos mapas.
    Exploração e Desafios missões secundárias – São muita coisa para fazer nesse mapa, temos dungeons, puzzle, mini boss, tesouro para recolher equipamento e poderes. E com isso mapa são extremamente enormes para explorar cada cantinho tem para oferecer, com cenários são bonitos.
    Ferramenta de acessibilidade controles – um dos pontos que mais gostei, é que você pode personalizar o menu, caso queria seja automático, até mesmo poderá controlar as dificuldades do game e inclusive poderá diminuir o dano recebido e também pode optar pela esquiva automática.

    Ponto Negativo
    Prólogo de introdução e Lento – início gameplay e muito extremamente lento, levei quase 3hs e para ter acesso mapa, contendo bastante dialogo.
    Progresso evolução do personagem Frey Holland – um ponto que achei negativo foi evolução de acesso dos poderes ser lento, como é questão de força fazer as missões secundárias e campanha para ter acesso poderes.
    Animação expressão facial – tens uns certos personagens que são extremamente feios mesmo, mas ressaltando que não é todos, isso não estraga sua experiência com a jogabilidade.
    Game tem certa possibilidade de ser enjoativo – esse game tem certa probabilidade de enjoar, isso vai depender muito do estilo de jogatina de cada um. O jogo pode se tornar extremamente repetitivo e existem partes que são totalmente genéricas.
    Excesso documento de leitura – Meu deus, existem muitos diálogos para pode entendermos a história, isso se torna um ponto negativo se assim como eu, você também não tem paciência de ficar lendo e lendo e lendo.

    Conclusão
    Resumindo pergunta que fica, realmente vale a pena comprar? Ou devo espera a próxima promoção, ou esperar que eles lancem uma atualização para melhoria do jogo ! Ai voce que descidir    … Expand

    The 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.

    It's not terrible and it's not good either. It tells a basic story with not much going on in terms of depth or narrative. Dialogue is sufferable, and the main character is fine but lackluster. The gameplay is average at best. Doesn't feel like a finished product.

    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.
