    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.

    Great gameplay. I’ve never seen before a gameplay like this one. I’ve enjoyed it a lot. About the world, it is empty, but the context explains why. Not a fantastic history, but this is a videogame, not a movie, so it’s ok to me.

    The world is full of things to explore - be it monuments, dungeons, towns, challenges and climbing tasks.

    The map is incredibly large and offers a lot. It took me about 10 hours to complete the first boss - and I didn't turn over every stone along the way.

    I can't quite understand the hate. The dialogue is what I would imagine it to be - a girl from the NYC gutter entering a magical world - different styles of speech and their conflicts.

    forspoken is a very challenging and ambitious title. I love and support the luminas engine. Sorry for the many critical comments. The speed of loading and the fun of the action. There are a lot of cool parts such as magic parkour. Of course, there are places to be improved, but it is not a title to be criticized. It's a pity that the worst users are bombing 0 points.

I definitely don't regret playing. I played with RT on PS5 and had no fps issues. The reason why the game's open world is empty is related to its story. Anyway, have fun guys

    At the beginning of the battle, I have to grind and defeat the small fish, so I'm not impressed.
    As you strengthen the main character through exploration, you will also understand the mechanics of battle at the same time, so you will be able to become a warrior, which is interesting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game, would highly recommend. The game takes a while to open up a bit and after chapter 4, then can you only see truly how big the game world is. I really liked the combat and movement, it feels really fast paced or you can do a slower playstyle by choosing different spells. Parkour is really fun as well, it gave me the same vibes when swinging in Marvels Spider-Man.

    Graphics wise, it looked great to me on the PS5, running it it on performance option. Loading is very fast specially when fast travelling and hardly had any loading issues or glitches. There was only one scene during a detour quest that the frame froze for a second but haven't seen anything since.

    To address about the writing and dialogue, yes it is a little cringy but you get used to it. With all the complaints about the MC being insufferable, it actually helped to have a different perspective and consider the MCs background and how she grew up. I am personally looking forward to see how her character develops and I can already see a slight change and development early on after a certain event. The cutscenes can sometimes take you out of the immersion however specially if you played God of War Ragnarok recently as the gameplay and cutscenes for that game blends really well.

    If you like open world games with RPG elements, upgrading gears and skills, fluid combat and fun traversal, would recommend to give it a go. Just give it until chapter 4 (4 to 5 hours from start of play). Also, no microtransactions which is a very big plus!    … Expand

    And the most important thing that Luminos Production succeeded in is the gameplay, it is epic and fantastic, it is a pleasure to destroy enemies, and the last mission with a flight on a dragon reminded me of the Lair game for Ps3.

    All of Forspoken is a love letter from the Ps3/X360 generation because the game reminds me of Heavenly Sword, Lair, Kameo, Folklore, Panzar and Crimson Dragoon, a huge thank you to the development team for giving me back that carefree time when games were way better than that , which is now being released by most of the industry.

    Im gonna do something crazy and review a game that i've actually played more than an hour of.

    Just finished Forspoken. It is not the most well put together game, and i suppose its easy to bounce off of, if you dont plan on sticking it out. But its definitely way better designed than its initial reception implies. The roughest parts in my opinion are the opening and ending.

    Just finished Forspoken. It is not the most well put together game, and i suppose its easy to bounce off of, if you dont plan on sticking it out. But its definitely way better designed than its initial reception implies.

    The roughest parts in my opinion are the opening and ending.

    In between there is a game that feels a blend of typical late 2000s open world gaming, with Infamous style power fantasy and the Spiderman style "game-of-movement". The story gets going probably 2-3hours later, and from there you fall into a gameplay loop of maneuvering through the world over hills and up cliffs picking out a path based on movement abilities which get better as the game goes on (with hidden abilities that can be found out in the world to unlock). Note for myself setting magic parkour to toggle which made movement feel better* In addition there are tons of accessibility options to make the gameplay feel as close to comfort as possible - the devs took alot of care clearly in polishing out the little details, and my favorite detailin a game to date is being able to dash into loot boxes/doors and hit interact to skip the animation with a flourish.

    Movement aside, there is a power fantasy to the combat of Forspoken which also borrows Devil May Cry's rating system. When combat starts you have a rating from E to S which goes up from doing things like using parkour in combat and hitting weakness, but goes down when you take damage. Getting high rating gives you better loot (for crafting/upgrades) and more experience. Magic itself is split into offensive, support and surge/ultimate. Offensive spells can be combod and holding right trigger will use or charge the offensive spell. Using combos and weaving in support spells will quick charge offensive magic. Using both will charge Surge magic which is pure spectacle. Essentially you find yourself flipping between support spells and eventually other magic styles, to build your style meter, also performing counters which can restore health, lethal attacks on down enemies, etc. Magic styles can be upgraded by using mana collected on the open world and levelling up. Each spell can also be enhanced by completing challenges during combat. The downside of this is the magic styles are unlocked on story beats and the first one can take around 6 hours to unlock, my favorite style didnt unlock until the end of the game essentially. The good news is there is still more to dow in between and after the main story. Each "Detour" on the map either unlocks gear (with enhancements and cosmetic change),stats or gives lore which is kept in the extensive game archive(the archive has alot of story about the world of Athia). You really do miss out on alot of the fun if you just rush from story beat to beat, and probably will make the game harder than it needs to be.

    Not much to say about crafting, but it is nice that you can put whatever enhancements on whatever gear as well as uograde the stats. You collect loot for crafting pretty much wherever you go.

    The story itself worked for me. I think the perspective of the main character is valid, and where she ends up feels pretty natural. The big moments of the story felt impactful especially the twist towards the end. Not gonna say much more about this, its a story we dont see alot more of in gaming. Its unfortunate that marketing couldnt figure out how to present it, but thats not indicative of the writing or the characters most of which i cared about by final credits.

    Also the world is empty but pretty dang beautiful.

    Good game overall, there are things to criticize, like weird pacing at the beginning, cutscenes taking control sometimes along with fade to black, and a couple of boss battles that made me play a bit weirdly. The worst offender to me is honestly the bird enemies but that is mostly one section of the game.

    Anyway, hope the review helps and you give this game a fair try if your interested.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall, really not as bad as the memes would have you believe. Some people carry on like the game itself shot their grandmother and shat on their dog, and a bunch of other people jumped on that bandwagon because they're too lazy to think for themselves and wanna board a hate train because they have nothing better to do with their lives.

    Is this the best game I've ever played? Absolutely not. But it's one of very few games where combat and travel was throughly engaging all the way through and not just the same old boring slog between cutscenes and major boss fights. The quips the main two make to each other were, for the most part, funny and realistic and something I very much enjoyed. And let's be honest, there are plenty of games out there that have much cringier dialog but are still beloved (looking at you Mr. Dante "I SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIGHT" Devilmaycry). However, the main problem I have with the dialog isn't the quality, but the quantity; even before I hit the first boss the two main characters were already cycling through overworld conversations they'd already had, and I had the Cuff interaction setting on default the entire time. I just wish there had been more variety there, since it was clear their interactions were going to be an important and prominent part of the audio landscape in the overworld.

    If I have a major gripe about the game, it seems clear to me that while the combat and magic parkour system were obviously top priority for the devs to master (and was, in my opinion, absolutely nailed) a lot of other things could have used more time and resources to give it that extra polish. Animations for side characters and social interactions in general are serviceable, but there's a clear difference of quality between them and the stellar combat/movement animations. It gives the game an overall feel that its brimming with potential but was not given enough time and resources to truly shine.

    Something I consider both a pro and a con would be the overworld and how desolate it looks. It makes the world feel empty, sure, but once I had the context that this world recently underwent an apocalypse that decimated literally 99% of its population and trapped the remaining 1% in a central hub that was the only place free of contamination, I find that emptiness actually adds to my immersion in the world and makes me feel the loss of it's life and people that much more keenly. I could also very much see that being written into the world AFTER it was clear they didn't have the resources to populate the rest of the world outside the one NPC hub, but given that in the end it adds to my immersion and could be a somewhat clever workaround for a lack of resources, I consider it both a plus and a minus to the experience. Take from that what you will.

    As for bugs: I've encountered 2 noticeable bugs so far, one being that while in a building near the beginning of the game the outside world looks like a bright white void, and one other instance where a solider had clipped through the ground. Both of which are quickly solved, the first just by going outside and letting my camera adjust to the difference in lighting, and the second by shooting at the ground where the enemy was to push him back up through the ground. Neither of which were game breaking in any way, but I felt they were worth mentioning.

    One other thing I will mention that's less an issue with this game specifically and more a commentary on the AAA gaming industry that's trying to make this a Thing, but I was really not a fan of the price tag. As a Canadian, the standard edition of this game (with tax) came to just over $100. Despite being an enjoyable experience that I would otherwise recommend to people who enjoy dynamic, fluid combat and fun isekai power fantasies, I would not say that this game is worth $100. To be fair, there are very, VERY few games that I would say ARE worth that much, and as such I do not fault this game specifically for that, but rather an industry that keeps arbitrarily pushing their prices up every few years or so.

    So, in summary:
    - fun, fluid, dynamic combat and travel abilities that are solidily made and engaging throughout the whole experience
    - humorous and realistic dialog that some will like and others will hate; it's up to your own sense of humor in the end, but I personally found it enjoyable
    - lacking in polish when it comes to anything other than the combat/magic parkour animations; the brunt of the resources clearly went to mastering combat/movement
    - open, desolate world that both adds to the immersion but does not make for a typically pleasing aesthetic
    - minimal bugs and none of them game breaking, which is sadly saying a lot for AAA games these days
    - overall, not worth the $100+ (CDN) price tag, but not very many games are, and as such would definitely recommend this for fans of isekais and engaging combat only after the price has dropped a bit    … Expand

And then yours gonna say this game is not at the standard of other AAA trash that gets praised? youre going to complain about the graphics and celebrate elden ring getting goty when it has the same graphics? oh wait forspoken runs at 120fps, woooops every reviewer forgot to add that in huh? so a game that runs better that the goty of last year is bad graphics now, get real.

    this game is hated because the character is a black woman. the gameplay is kingdom hearts 3.5 bet that game didn't get hate for its terrible dialouge presented with stiff characters and the completely contrived story, nope that game is white asian mixture which is ok but black girl wrong    … Expand

    Forspoken egy elég ambiciózus játék,relatív szép grafikával. Talán a Sony exkluzív Returnalhoz hasonlítani lehetne Frey varázs képességeivel való gyors harcot.

Talán a Sony exkluzív Returnalhoz hasonlítani lehetne Frey varázs képességeivel való gyors harcot. A játék,nagyon pörgős és élvezetes harcrendszerrel,nem erős történettel,kicsit túl zoomer és nagy szájú tini fő karakterrel látták el. A játék története alatt elérhető képességek látványával dominálva akar minket a képernyő elé ragasztani. A fejlődési lehetőséggel eleinte lassan érhetők el a képességek ,ami kicsit eltántoríthatja a játékost. Bár ha kitartunk ,akkor viszont nagyon sok kombó lehetőség áll elénk, ami színesebbé és még élvezetesebbé teszi a harcot és annak látványát. A harcok közben lévő animációk precizek ,folyékonyak. A gondosan finomhangolt parkour ugrások,kitérések is szintén a legjobb latványt nyújtják. Az átvezető videók animaciói középszerűek viszont jól néznek ki. Néhol van olyan textúra ami nem elég kidolgozott a világba. A map hatalmas és néhol üres lehet. Viszont a történet és annak világa indokolja az élettelen tájakat. Dimbes-dombos ,hegyes füves kopár elhagyatott,néhol zord tájak váltják egymást. Nagyon sok mindent lehet tenni a térképen. Fejleszteni statot,macskákat lehet elkapni, ,ruhákat és nyakláncokat feloldani,fejlesztéshez és craftoláshoz való anyagokat gyüjtögetni ,ládákat kifosztani és olyan materiákat szerezni,amik elég könnyen feloldható puzzle ládákhoz vannak kötve. Minden biomhoz legalább 2 ládát őrző mutáns boss van amik sok esetbe nehezebbek vagy veled együtt fejlettek. Vannak labirintusnak nevezett helyek ahol a vegéig vezető úton szobakba enemyk majd a végén egy boss van. Minden elért képességet tudunk durvára fejleszteni a safe houseokba, miután megkapjuk az elérhetőségét. Ezek amolyan harc alatti challengekhez vannak kötve. Összessegében a játék jó de nem tökéletes.

Das Kampfsystem und das Parkoursystem sind überragen! Auch die RPG Elemente sind gut verarbeitet und motivieren, dass beste aus dem Charakter herauszuholen.

    I never feel the need to leave reviews on games but I took this one personally. £60! I'm not joking when I say that it is a truly bad experience in every imaginable aspect. The only reason I have even given it a 1 is because it has taught me a valuable life lesson to watch gameplay videos before buying a game. Because buying Forspoken is one of the worst mistakes I have made in gaming.

    I really had a great time with Forspoken. I did find some of the dialogue repeat too often, but the game play loop was a lot of fun, and running around was great. The end game creeps up a bit fast leaving you to discover how best to use certain powers. I really hope to see more of this idea and style of game.

On the worst end of the spectrum, I'm seeing 0/10 reviews where people say the game is terrible cause the main character is "ugly" but they really mean that they don't like that a black woman is the main character. In the middle of the spectrum, I see people say that the game doesn't meet expectations but I offer a counterargument. The game wasn't originally going to be a game we all knew this and then Square Enix saw the popularity and shifted focus, there's always been uncertainty about the game before its release but nobody believed it was going to be a standout game. Not to mention that they released a free demo months before release where everyone spoke their opinion which was negative at worst and mixed at best.

    This all leads to my review of the game as someone who owns and played over 4800+ games in the last 20 years. Forspoken is a B- game, There are qualities in this game that I enjoy more than 7/10 games (for me a 7/10 game is a game that has qualities of a bad game but does them in an okay way, such as Soul Hackers 2 or Saints Row, and don't achieve to make anything else good). Forspoken does well at music, performance/graphics, and gameplay (magic, dodging, and movement). Forspoken does okay at voice acting and the story is nothing special but I've seen plenty of games with better reviews have worse writing. (I'm still playing but I've enjoyed most of the scenes that some people have been hating on). Forspoken does terribly at animations, it's like they gave up sometimes.
    The one element I can't comment on is the open world, like spider-man the movement gives it bonus points but I haven't played enough to know if the game has enough variety in the world yet.

    Lastly, there are a few things people can do in the settings to improve the game, for example, support spells have cool-downs, but if you go into your options you can make it so the game will auto-switch to a support spell that is ready after you use a support spell, this allows combat to be quick cause you don't have to switch your support spell all the time. I also turned on auto-pick-up cause there are a lot of resources on the ground in this game and it's a lot more fun not pressing triangle 100 times per hour for rock A, rock B, rock C, etc.

    Forspoken is a barely 8/10 game, worth $40 to $60. I feel weird that anybody would complain about $70 price tag though cause the demo is still available for free. I feel at that point it was on you to decide whether you wanted the game to be worth $70.    … Expand

    A história é boa e bem detalhada,quem criticou provavelmente não leu os inúmeros documentos que há no game.

    História ( Se você ler todos os documentos) Efeitos de luz e magia. Trilha sonora. Habilidades da personagem. O jogo próximo do fim se tornar exatamente divertido. Agora os pontos negativos são o Parkour segurando ⭕ pois torna as batalhas fáceis. Um simples nerf em Frey resolveria o problema. E o segundo problema é a jogabilidade. A mira falha muito e atrapalha demais no início do game. Há atrasos nos comandos. Acredito que possa ser corrigido em um patch futuro. O gráfico é ok. Algumas paisagens são belíssimas (recomendo o modo quality mesmo a 30fps) A modelagem de alguns personagens tem menor Capricho que outros.

Of course stuff like Final Fantasy, Legend of Mana, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Parasite Eve? Forspoken has the spirit of a off the beaten path Square game. It’s a experiment, it’s a mish mash of familiar gaming systems, it’s a clearly Japanese produced game with the veneer of a AAA American game. People can say what they want now about the game. They can say how bad it is, how it isn’t worth the money, how cringe the dialogue is. The people who saw the brilliance in Final Fantasy XV, which admit-ably is a flawed game, can see how mechanics from that game evolved into this.

    It took only about 20 min. to realise this is probably the best game I ever played and I hope, that this is the future of video gaming. Although I miss in-game ads and microtransactions. 10/10 GOTY

    Traversal was fun, the combat gets really enjoyable once you unlock the melee options. And the characters isn't as bad as the trailers made it out to be.

    the extreme negative reviews do not reflect the picture. The game runs well on the PS5 and is definitely fun. Dialogues also become more coherent as the game progresses. Even the hoop can be reduced if the talk annoys someone. It was a good game for me and met my expectations.

    Ratings below 0 are just pathetic! The game is super solid and makes me really fun with the parkour techniques and in the fights. I deduct one point because the graphics could have been a bit better. However, I didn't have any performance problems like some writing! Watch Lets Play videos and you'll see that it's definitely not a bad game! For me a 9/10

    hello

    empty world, dead, unremarkable, generally boring.

    Better look for other more fun games.

    I think people seriously treating this game too harsh:/ It feels nice to cast so many spells,magical Parkour The world is beautiful but kinda empty,and still it's very fun to travel through the world of athia It's a good game.
    Not triple AAA but still good.
    Not deserving this kind of rating.

    So I'm not seeing why people are hating on this game so bad. It's pretty good imo. Infact its much more fun the horizon forbidden west.

    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.
