    as far as the spell and combat system is concerned, I am very satisfied, a pity for the environment that surrounds it, which is very bare and shallow, this does not give total immersion to the game.

    The only good thing which made me not to give it zero is the combat is ok but need more work. NPCs are zombies from PS1 era music beautiful but broken, skip button too slow and frustrating, characters look ugly and wired, etc...

    This is a great game unfairly reviewed by critics who want everything tied up in a bow. I also feel some of these user reviews are disingenuous. The problem most people have with this game is the Character they simply do not like her. Don't get me wrong she was a little annoying with too much profanity but I moved on and started playing what I found to be a fun game with great gameplay.This is a great game unfairly reviewed by critics who want everything tied up in a bow.

    So before you, all start spewing nonsense and acting like a bunch of bullies in a playground. Play the game and give it a chance. I did and I am enjoying it very much.

    Sidenote: Elden ring has no story and no character development and yet everyone raves it's the greatest game in the world. I personally did not like Elden ring it wasn't my kind of game or suited my play style and it was too damn hard. That doesn't make it a bad game and the same with Forspoken.

    It’s just a bad game. The main character is toxic and not likable, graphics and lighting is half baked and feels like PS4 game era, the world feels empty, the enemies feels boring and repetitive, technical optimization is not finished. It’s just bad.

    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.

    A prime of example of wasted potential. A cool idea and really fun combat meets one of the most generic and boring game designs of the recent years. If you like to check off the same four of five activities in an open-world while fighting the same enemies over and over again, this game might be something for you.

Это уровень игр 2014-15 годов, но никак не 2023 года. И ладно бы при такой графике она требовала бы столько же, сколько и они. Но нет, эту убогую игру еле вытягивают карты 40-ой серии... В некоторых областях фпс падает просто катастрофически. У меня не просто ощущение, нет, я знаю, и все мы знаем как факт, что в игре нет абсолютно никакой оптимизации. Даже намека на нее.
    Что у нас дальше? Ах да, сюжет...)) Сюжет))) Боже))) Будет невероятным комплиментом назвать ЭТО сюжетом) Абсолютно пустые и даже кринжевые диалоги, пустые персонажи, обилие стыдной повесточки, ну и вишенка на торте: неимоверно бесячий и тупой главный герой (геройка?), паталогический нытик и эгоистка с ужасным топорным чувством юмора, которая на всё реагирует неуместным матом. Сам сюжет до ужаса вторичный, а наратив просто смешон: вместо катсцен с диалогами, операторской съемкой и так далее — статичные стеклянные статуи людей, которые обмениваются звуковой информацией (речью я это назвать не могу), а игроку предлагают слушать всю эту тягомотину по несколько минут и так 15+ раз за игры. Мммм, класс (нет)
    Может быть весь этот ужас перевесит интересный геймплей?) Нет)) И здесь разработчики наделали в штаны: играть в это абсолютно неинтересно, карта пустая, нет никаких точек интереса, кроме "лабиринтов" формы прямой кишки, где в конце нас ожидают одни и те же соперники, нет адекватных сайдквестов и заданий, кроме как "ыы пойди убей монстров где-то там/ыы а теперь убей чуть больше монстров, но вот там/ыыы вот тут на полу мана валяется, собери ее ыыы", нет никакого желания изучать мир этой игры, он просто пустой, как и сама игра.
    Вердикт: провал года, пустая трата времени и денег, наглая халтура и тревожный звонок игровой индустрии.

    Despite these strengths, the poor frame rate on performance mode makes it difficult to recommend For spoken to players looking for a smooth gaming experience. If you're willing to tolerate the frame rate issues, the game is worth playing for its visuals and combat alone. However, if you're looking for a seamless gaming experience, it may be best to pass on this one.

    El videojuego es horrible. esta roto y muy mal optimizado. te pide graficas de generacion alta para correrlo a graficos altos sin tener graficos de next gen como nos vendieron en el trailer. Mi nota es un 0

    A fun premise let down by a very awkward game. Reminds me of a higher budget version of The Quiet Man game, crossed with the melodramatic exposition of a real-life modern person comparable to Life Is Strange.

    A fun premise let down by a very awkward game. Reminds me of a higher budget version of The Quiet Man game, crossed with the melodramatic exposition of a real-life modern person comparable to Life Is Strange.
    The game is slow and lumbering in every aspect: character movement, action sequences, transition from scene to scene. Constant fades to black and silent moments, the already slow pace of the story is further artificially slowed down ad-nauseum. The dialogue is very wooden, cliched and cringey, with awkward pauses between each line. The main character's performance is constantly over-acted and over-performed, over-expressed. Nothing here makes sense. Several dialogue/writing continuity errors. Plot hole every 10 minutes.
    Somewhat empty and lifeless world to explore.
    The main character often does things which make her unlikable, it's hard to immerse.
    Technically it's also badly coded/optimised, a sad reminder that modern developers and coders are using bloated, leaky untidy code. The game looks like it could've come out 8-10 years ago, but it plays like it needs a computer from the future.

    Overall, the game feels more like the product of board meetings and market research, with no heart or soul.

    The saving grace is the voice acting for Cuff, and some interesting environments, and some cool creatures/bosses.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Давайте сначала о достоинствах, в этой игре действительно очень хороший OST. К сожалению, на этом достоинства заканчиваются.

    Я поиграл в неё 3 часа, с надеждой, что вот-вот станет лучше, но становилось только скучнее, а недостатков появлялось все больше и больше.

    Начнем с того, что графически игра выглядит гораздо хуже большинства игр поколения PS4. Нью-Йорк из Spider Man или Division выглядел гораздо более живым, красивым и детализированным. Освещение в Forspoken отвратительное, там где все проблемные участки можно было спрятать освещением или режиссурой сцены - абсолютная пустота.

    Открытый мир Атии, или как он там, вообще напоминает ММО, абсолютно пустые и голые поля с группами врагов, которые просто стоят и ничего не делают, пока не подойдешь их бить. Геймплей как был скучным в деске, так таким же и остался. Циферки, выпадающие из них в интерфейсе на момент написания отзыва не отключались.

    Может бы вытащил все это дело сюжет, но увы, он на таком низком уровне, что лучше бы его просто не было. С момента, когда в доме героини начинается пожар и она уже будучи одетой просто игнорирует сумку с деньгами пока не найдет кошку... Ну, вы сами должны увидеть эту сцену, ничего, абсолютно ничего не мешало её взять эту сумку за 2 секунды, которая стояла прямо перед ней, а потом спасти кошку. Я понимаю, что таким образом сценаристы хотели "раскрыть героя", мол она выбрала спасти кошку и лишилась всего, но это не делается так тупо.

    Далее побег из башни-тюрьмы, мы сбегаем, тревога, весь город на ушах, нас все ищут стража прочесывает каждый уголок. Но уже с утра в этом же городе всем АБСОЛЮТНО наплевать на ваше присутствие. С вами здороваются местные жители, стражники приветствуют и улыбаются.. Эммм, простите что? Я восемь часов назад сбежал из тюрьмы и вы уже ничего не помните? В городе всего человек 100 живет...

    И вот так у них все, корявые анимации, постоянные зацепы героини за окружение, одинаковые дома, одинаковые текстуры всего, плохое освещение, плохой сюжет, постоянные "фак, фак , щит, фак, крап, фак , фак" где это совершенно неуместно.

    Короче не покупайте это, кроме музыки ничего хорошего в Forspoken нет.

    One of the most unlikable characters in recent memory for a video game. Combat is fun but is completely ruined by poor character design and an empty open world. Square should focus less on appealing to a Western audience.

    I mean, graphics are good. Some parts of the combat is decent. But overall, huge empty worlds, boring. Traversal feels bad, mediocre almost all around.
    And then nail polish. Yes, custom nail polish gives you special abilities and stats. You can't make this up.

    It’s not a 0/10 and it sure as hell is not a 10/10. That being said, this game is garbage.

I can’t even say the graphics are great, because there are open world games like Horizon: Forbidden West and Spider-Man (a last gen game) that looks leagues better than this game. I guess if there are things I do like is the parkour system and auto looting (which almost every game like this should have) and there are areas that genuinely good to look at. But that’s about it for me. The worst part is the talk surrounding this game so disingenuous that I’m honestly concerned about how low the bar for quality has gotten, if people can excuse utter garbage like this. Expand

    The writing was abysmal, cringe-worthy garbage. The gameplay was stale and boring. The story was unremarkable and the lead character frey was completely unrelateablel, unlikable, and off putting. The only reason I didn't stop playing was to watch the absolute train wreck of a disaster unfold.

    Ultimately this playthrough just re-enforced that the marketing and online dialog leading up to release was in fact a propaganda campaign as this game was beyond terrible and insulting as a consumer.

Un mundo muerto, vacío y realmente aburrido en el que solo destaca la abrumadora cantidad de coleccionables de diversos tipos y que realmente no suponen un beneficio para el desarrollo del personaje. Recomendable únicamente si su precio baja o está de oferta, no vale lo que cuesta.

    Este juego tiene fallos por todos sitios. Desde la niebla que tapa el mapeado para que no veas como aún no están cargadas las texturas, hasta las caras de la protagonista. Bajadas horribles de Fps, IA ausente, y gráficos que dejan mucho que desear.

    A little bird told me that Square Enix asked Marketing staff, translators, testers etc. from abroad (because they can write in English, their Japanese staff can't) to pad the user review score average by posting 10/10 reviews here. Didn't help much, it seems, but still a pathetic attempt. Pretty much like the game itself.

    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.
