    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.

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.

    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.

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

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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Forspoken isn't the best game ever, but it does have a few things going for it. The magic system was pretty good. Being able to quickly swap between types of magic was fun, and the different types of magic did feel unique. The magic parkour was definitely the highlight of the game, and I hope it gets refined and used again in future games.

    The pacing and story were the worst offenders in Forspoken. It did take some time for the story to really kick in, but it was interesting once it did. Then we get to the third act, and, well, there really wasn't a third act. You no sooner get the last type of magic then you go to the final boss. I didn't even play around with it beforehand because I thought there would be more story.

    The dialogue was okay. I wasn't as annoyed by Frey and Cuff as others were, though some of the repeated lines did get old fast. New York looked amazing, but the fantasy world (can't even remember its name) was a little on the dull side. Music wasn't bad. The characters were written okay, but we hardly got to know the Tantas or more than a handful of characters. Only one who stood out to me was the one justice tanta with her Gollum/Smeagol bit. Overall, an okay game with a few high points but many more low ones.    … Expand

    The game is perfectly fine and fun. Maybe it's a bit too expensive as most modern games are but that's not an actual valid critique of the game itself.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is actually really good, and there are obvious tall tales being told by many other reviewers. Since no one has to verify they've ever even played the game, they can come on here and say whatever they want about something they've never played. I've never seen a more obvious fake review bombing in my life. Just look at all the boiler plate arguments being made. Same talking points in a bunch of ratings, and no one's questioning that lack of variation. That's crazy to me.

    They say the graphics are mediocre but the environments are larger, more detailed, more populated, and more active than in Fortnite, Dauntless, and Bayonetta 3. Proof of the falsehood of these claims is being posted all over Twitter; screenshots from the game itself. There are even wildly false claims about the graphics being seriously downgraded. That's not true. It's stunning on PS5, and a quick trip to YouTube to watch actual PS5 gameplay proves that it looks great - overall better than Division 2, that's for sure. Division 2 focuses on player characters, and the NPC's don't look so hot. More attention was given to all of the characters in Forspoken than in that. The dragon looks spectacular, and the special effects have far fewer flashing white screens than very many other titles, making it more epilepsy friendly without losing the magic of the visuals. The closest justification they have is from grabbing stills from YouTube gamers using the lowest settings on budget PC's, or criticizing character models as if PERFECTLY recreating a real actress in modeling software is easy. That's not an honest opinion, that's a bandwagon for the sake of hating a game that they already chose to hate well before its launch.

    They say the dialogue and voice acting are bad, but they gave Bayonetta 3 rave reviews despite it sounding much worse, and they say the narrative is typical or mediocre while applauding other titles that simply RETELL PRE-EXISTING STORIES WITH THE ONLY CHANGE BEING THE INSERTION OF A NEW CHARACTER [GoW] - and even games that have no story at all [Smash]. Some, like Batman, don't even introduce new characters when retelling the exact same story. The combat banter, explorative chatter, and cinematic narrative are all solid. Lots of references to Marvel movies, but the story is actually more closely related to Alice In Wonderland and Magicians [both applauded for their narratives, and the former is even referenced] -_- Most people making these arguments actually NEVER played the game because they would know that otherwise. Mario is typical; Forspoken isn't typical at all. It's not cringe Identitarian woke nonsense either, some just don't like that the lead and heroine is a racial minority who was a troubled youth. You can even see these biases in reviews ON HERE for Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Similar complaints, more forgiving ratings for the classic franchise despite the same prejudices. KH3 keeps telling the same story in new locations; rave reviews. Forspoken drops an urban adult orphan who was previously trapped in a bad and realistic situation into an Isekai modeled after GoT-like fantasy worlds [yes, there are poor people living in ghettos in the modern REAL world], gives her magical abilities, challenges her to survive in an environment that she's never experienced the parallel of, and forces her to solve a mystery around very powerful people just so that she can return home to continue her life; considered typical. How is that cookie cutter? Platform envy can make people adorably childish.

    The combat in this is richer, more varied, and more creative than in that of Hades; Hades gets rave reviews and Forspoken gets review bombed. What's the difference? Exclusivity. That's interesting, isn't it? Hades has different effects applied to the same limited move set of each of the only six standard weapons. It's extremely limited in combat variety. Forspoken has advanced movement mechanics [a cross between AC and Spider-Man], a host of different spells that ALL have different animations, a solid unlock and upgrade tree, two styles of combat to approach different situations within the same character, a mix of adds that often requires switching between combat styles, third-person shooter mechanics that use magic instead of bullets [in the spirit of Uncharted], and over-the-shoulder melee mechanics [in the spirt of GoW]. She can even continue fighting while using her parkour movements. Player controlled attacks in the middle of flips? That's not common.

    There are so many double standards used in the negative reviews of this game, and there's even more dishonesty. Don't let haters yank your chain simply because they didn't get the game on their preferred platform, and don't let polarizing critics do it either. Profiting off of hot takes and hyperbole are the norm now, so challenge them by trying the demo. You just might like it.    … Expand

    Forspoken é um jogo audacioso, ele tenta entregar muito e falha em alguns quesitos, porem não podemos negar que ele tem uma bela história por mais que talvez não tenha aproveitado ao máximo. O universo do jogo é muito abrangente tendo extremos desafios, porem ele não te recompensa o suficiente para aprofundar, um detalhe bem marcante que entrega muito bem é o detalhe da história isso é o ponto forte do jogo, os detalhes minuciosamente descritos para as áreas que Frey vem a descobrir e destravar é um ponto interessante. A Gameplay acaba por ser repetitiva como todo jogo, mas não chata, a personagem principal ao decorrer da história nós apegamos a ela nos sentimos indiferentes, as vezes com raiva e até mesmo nos solidarizamos. Com o decorrer dos fatos é levemente previsível de previnir o que pode ser o desfecho final da campanha principal, porem não deixa de impactar bastante, por conta dessa mistura de sentimentos que temos em relação a protagonista. Eu diria que Forspoken é um jogo que no fim ele não vai marcar gerações e revolucionar a indústria dos games, como a maioria dos jogos atuais, porem ele pode pelo menos descansar sabendo que é um bom jogo.

    Obs: alguns pontos muito interessantes que o jogo abrange de forma mesmo que sútil são problemas de autoconfiança, depressão / suicídio entre muitos temas que a protagonista meio que vai se descobrindo com o tempo.

    Obs 2: O jogo tem uma temática muito parecida com alice no pais das maravilhas, e tem inclusive um livro de história mencionado em duas partes da gameplay, mas o que mais me chamou a atenção foi a parte da trilha sonora que é praticamente idêntica a de alice e até os visuais e ambientação de alguns lugares.    … Expand

    I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I am absolutely loving Forspoken! I think the gameplay is great and, yes, some elements are rough around the edges but I'm so glad that developers are investing time into new IPs. Some elements feel truly next gen and I can't wait until my next play session. Strongly disagree with all the hate these creatives have to endure online.

    My main complaint about this game is that the script kinda sucks and their humour isn't really all that funny. The protagonist is rather annoying as a character. That being said, it's not an awful script, just not a good one.

I also really like the fact that there is a female afro-american protagonist and an ethnically diverse cast and the game DOESN'T make a big thing out of it - it's just the way it is, and that's about it.

    Graphically, the game unfortunately doesn't look as great as in the "Project Athia" announcement trailer, but I already knew that from the demo. It still looks nice though. Gameplay wise, the parcour and combat systems are really well designed and the world is built as a playground for those features.

    Forspoken certainly won't be my "Game of the Year 2023", but it doesn't deserve all that hate either. Most reviews seem to exist in an echo chamber these days, be it for better ("Isekai setting") or for worse ("Cringe dialogue").    … Expand

Sure, I can nick pick about small issues, like talking to npc you have to stand right in front of them to engage in conversation. Some games you can stand on the side of them, and they would turn and face you. Frey and cuff do repeat dialog in the open world. Not the first game a played that had this issues. The thing is you can go into option and change how much they interact with each other in the world. I remember playing cyberpunk 2077. Came out on PS4 but was playing it on my PS5. What a buggy mess. Game crash so many times. Had the director apologizing for a buggy game. PlayStation issuing refunds and took it off the store page. So many updates to get it working right. IGN give it a 9 out of 10. I could go on and on about cyberpunk 2077, about the graphics, the menu, the map. Story was good but could never finish it. I give cyberpunk a 6 out of 10. With good reason. Forspoken doesn't really do anything new that we haven't seen before. Hard to find games that do that anymore. But it's playable.

The story is a take on the classic Alice In Wonderland story but adding a modern twist, Freya is a orphaned girl from Hells Kitchen, New York who gets transported to a mysterious world Atheia and is trying to get back home to Earth by trying to navigate the laws and politics of this new world while also trying to uncover the source of a mysterious corruption that has blighted the world of Aethia which she has dubbed The Break, while on the other hand reflecting on the bad decisions she has made in her life thus far, this in turn drives her to make something of herself in her tumultuous time in Atheia. Dialogue is a hit or miss some of the interaction between Freya and her metal companion Cuff can be funny at times but they can be a little excessive the more the game progresses, graphics are ok but compared to games like Horizon: Forbidden West & God Of War: Ragnarok the game falls short. Performance wise I’m currently playing the game in performance focused mode and I’m using the 120hz mode as I have a LGC1 that supports this and I can say with out a doubt it feels buttery smooth when traversing with Freya around huge mountains ranges and the open fields of Aethia, frames dip silently when in combat when using spells but it is nothing that hinders the overall gameplay. Overall Forspoken is shaping up to being a great experience for me and I’m glad I picked it up despite the negative backlash it seems to be receiving on social media.

    Forspoken is a Action Adventure RPG, with loads of fun magical combat, with plenty of interesting enemies, and diverse bosses. The magical world is interesting, and stunning.

    All in all, Forspoken is a solid fun experience that can be enjoyed by many.    … Expand

    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.

    Das kampfsystem ist cool. Die Story hat sich nach etwas Zeit ( typisch Square Enix) entfaltet. Die Grafik der Menschen könnte etwas besser sein, die Monster dagegen haben ein mega Design.

    Seriously who wrote this garbage? Game looks visually good but the writing and npcs are the worst. It should have been a multiplayer game.

    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.

I recommend to change to 120hz mode first thing if your TV can do that.    … Expand

    Man the hate in this game is not deserved at all. Is it perfect? Nah but it has a fantastic story, a great cast of characters and if you actually interact with people, do the detours, get the archives and do activities the story REALLY fleshes out the host of characters that make Athia so memorable.

Nah but it has a fantastic story, a great cast of characters and if you actually interact with people, do the detours, get the archives and do activities the story REALLY fleshes out the host of characters that make Athia so memorable. 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. Give it a shot, Frey, Cuff & Athia definitely have and incredible story to tell.… Expand

    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 unlikable protagonist. PS 5 ****

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’m gonna (try to) keep it fairly short and sweet because I see a lotttt of other reviews have touched on a good amount of what I’m going to say. The graphics we’re actually really good I was super impressed with how well it ran on my PS5. However the game fails to hit the mark on pretty much anything and everything. The side quests we’re so bland and boring , just your typical chores I couldn’t do anymore after 2 so who knows maybe they got better after that? I cannot stand Frey as a character , she is literally a horrible person thorough and though to the very end. No seriously I thought at the end by the last couple chapters she would have some kind of character development but she has 0 redemption I kid you not… I remember in the 2nd to last chapter I believe she has a friend who’s father was just killed and she tells her “She doesn’t give a sh** if her world burns” and she does not feel one shred of remorse. The entire game there is practically no consequences to her horrible actions at all. And when I say she’s a horrible character I am not exaggerating a single bit , every time something bad happened she was like “you you you” then whenever anything good happened she was like “me me me”… 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.
