    Tldr: low expectations, very pleasantly surprised, fantastic combat, world class movement (magic parkour), gripping story with very real and relatable characters. P.s. don't try to obtain every treasure chest (purple dots on the map). So good I was questioning whether I should buy Hogwarts as I was worried it would be a disappointment after playing this.

P.s. don't try to obtain every treasure chest (purple dots on the map). So good I was questioning whether I should buy Hogwarts as I was worried it would be a disappointment after playing this.

    I'm honestly shocked this game has such a low user rating score, but I guess I forget how much people enjoy to hate on new things. After playing the demo, I knew I would enjoy this game, but I had relatively low expectations. As someone who has been playing video games for the last 20 years I've found it hard to find a good game that keeps me interested all the way through.

    I was pleasantly surprised on how diverse the spells are, how many spells there are, how much content there is, and I was genuinely interested in the characters and story.

    I want to rank this a 10 to offer the haters, but realistically the game isn't perfect. I feel it's fair to say the game does everything well but could do better in various areas. I think some people don't love the New York Slums personality the main character has. I think people also might struggle to get used to the magic system. Then people also complain about the world being closed off.

    I genuinely really liked the main character and story, and this is where I felt the game would fall short in the demo. The main character is very real and relatable. She's not just some blank slate hero garbage like we typically see. While the magic system did take time to get used to, once you get a feel for it, it's extremely fun. There's also so many different spells and therefore ways you can choose to play. Personally I'm one of the people who pushed the map boundaries of the game from the start. Especially with the awesome magic parkour, I think everyone wants to go where they're not supposed to. Realistically, outside of that urge, I never had an issue with not being able to go where I wanted. While you might be locked out of chunks of the map until you progress in the main story, you never have a lack of things to explore. The map progression is related to the story progression in an understandable way and i think people that are upset about this are being far too picky.

    I've nearly 100% this game and would recommend it to anyone who likes this genre of game. I think my biggest complaint is that I wish the story was longer. I just wish I could play more.

    Warning! I highly recommend not trying to pick up every treasure chest. If you hit your inventory Max, you will be unable to pick up the chest. Most chest items are also crafting ingredients you can find in the over world. There is also an ungodly amount of chests in the game. After picking up 100% of the chests for the first 25% of the game I started to feel burnt out and was very upset when I found I couldn't pick up the next chest I found.    … Expand

    В этой игре нет ничего советского. Это какая-то похабщина. Главный герой матерится как сапожник и руинит советскую атмосферу. А еще много дешевого фансервиса. В общем игра не оправдала ожиданий.

Are nothing that a sequel is gonna bring with it. I think this is gonna be remembered as possibly one of the most under rated game of all time, feels this is the God Hand of this generation.

    What exactly is missing in the forspoken, which the elders of this genere have ? Go check final fantasy, final fantasy 7 remake was a mess, with that homosexual task and town. Pardon me, but I'm so angry about these propagandas.
    I swear, not because I've paid 64 bucks for, or because I like it, I'm a 36 years old gamer and have my experiences, forspoken is a good game, with a great potential story . I haven't mentioned it's walk-through and graphics and world, because even worst reviews about forspoken have admitted its graphics and Ambient and inviroment are wonderful, their only problem is the short story and the missions of the game and the characters, which is not acceptable at all with the positive points of the game and the fact that it is the first work of a game studio.    … Expand

    I am surprised at the hate this game got, as I thoroughly enjoyed it. While Frey may not be the most likeable character and story feels a little forced, it’s good and enjoyable, full for turns and twists.

    Combat mechanic is great, very satisfying and rich, while not overwhelming, which I found was the case with the demo.

    Traversal is fantastic, world gorgeous and vast. Definitely recommend it.

    I actually liked the voice of the cuffs and the conversation, it makes the game more alive

    The ambient music is great, I dont like when a game lets you hear just silece and fx sounds, the music helps keeps the tension

    The default configurations are a little dark so I just increase a little of the brighness and or gama and it is more clear

    the graphics are great, I dont feel like they are outdated like some say, some things and areas needed to be more polished

    but overall it is fun to play, enteresting imersive comovent story if you pay attention and read the items

The game suffers from horrible story pacing issues, side activities which become repetitive very fast, and the open world being wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle. The only redeeming qualities are the combat, and the story ending which has a fantastic message in current times, but even the combat can get annoying in certain circumstances when there are way too many enemies on the screen and you basically have no opportunity to attack.

    Tipical story of hero taken to another world, the script is not memorable and its difficult to care about the main character because of her personality, too Netflix-esque and written for a teenage target.

    Gameplay: 2
    The control is really awful, and it truly drags down the whole game. It totally lacks accuracy and has input lag. The parkour is clumsy and too automatized in a bad way.

    Art direction & visual: 7
    The graphics feel good without being top noch. As for the art direction, the world of Athia lacks a bit of personality and feels a bit generic, like the whole game.

    Sound: 7 Just as the visual part, the sound works without standing out. It lacks energy at some points.

    All in all, a beautiful concept of enjoying the discover of an open world that is flawed in its execution, specially (but not only) in the inaccurate control of the main character. The story can be entertaining without being memorable, because it clearly follows a formula that we have already seen too many times.    … Expand

    Forspoken, a highly anticipated action-adventure game, had the potential to be a groundbreaking experience with its "wonderful" open-world setting and promising narrative. However, after hours of gameplay, I found myself deeply disappointed, as it failed to deliver on the expectations it set.

    First and foremost, the game's biggest downfall lies in its narrative. While the premise seemed intriguing at the outset, the execution fell flat. The protagonist's character development lacked depth and authenticity, making it hard to connect emotionally with her journey. The plotline also suffered from predictability and cliches, leaving me uninterested in the overarching story.

    Furthermore, the gameplay mechanics failed to impress. Combat felt clunky and unrefined, leaving me frustrated during intense battles. The controls lacked precision, hindering my ability to fully immerse myself in the world. Despite boasting magic abilities, the magic system felt underwhelming and poorly integrated into the gameplay, reducing its impact on combat scenarios.

    The open-world environment, while visually stunning, proved to be mostly empty and lacking in interactive elements. The lack of meaningful side quests and activities left me feeling aimless and unengaged as I traversed through the vast landscape. The NPCs' dialogue felt repetitive and uninspired, further diminishing my interest in exploring the world they inhabit.

    Moreover, Forspoken's technical issues severely hindered the overall experience. Frequent frame rate drops, texture pop-ins, and various bugs marred the gameplay, leading to frustrating interruptions and detracting from the game's visual splendor.

    The game's sound design, while decent, did little to elevate the overall experience. The background music failed to leave a lasting impression, and the voice acting, though competent, couldn't compensate for the game's lackluster narrative.

    On top of all these shortcomings, the microtransactions and intrusive monetization elements were a significant turnoff. The constant push towards purchasing cosmetic items and in-game currency cheapened the gaming experience, giving it a 'pay-to-win' vibe and leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.

    In conclusion, Forspoken had the potential to be a remarkable gaming experience, but it ultimately falls short on multiple fronts. Its lackluster narrative, flawed gameplay mechanics, unimpressive open-world, technical issues, and obtrusive monetization all contribute to a game that is not only forgettable but also disappointing. It's saddening to witness such a promising concept go to waste. Unless substantial updates and improvements are made, Forspoken is a game I'd be hard-pressed to recommend to anyone seeking an immersive and memorable gaming experience.    … Expand

    The game is not without its faults...A very generic Open World with lots of collectibles to collect, chests to open...In short, a basic Open World. The technical side of things is pretty average for a Next Gen exclusive...In the game, you'll find droopy textures, loading screens for little else, textures that pop...in short, it's a shame.

The technical side of things is pretty average for a Next Gen exclusive...In the game, you'll find droopy textures, loading screens for little else, textures that pop...in short, it's a shame. As for the gameplay, it's just as basic, but very well mastered, with a multitude of spells to create new gameplay situations in every battle. The only downside is that some battles are too messy. The game's story is interesting to follow from start to finish, despite a few easy plot points... The game's musical ambience is very interesting, but it's not present enough and quickly goes round in circles, which is a real shame!

    In conclusion: Forspoken is a good game. Quickly criticized for its sluggish, guided start, it deserves to be played to its full potential. Admittedly, it has its flaws, but its story, atmosphere and gameplay deserve to be explored... This game deserves to be tested, perhaps not at its high price of 80euro.    … Expand

    Absolutely fantastic game, but seem a bit slow in the beginning, however the world and the potential opens up after a few hours of playing. If you enjoy magic, battles and open world games - this one is definitely for you, very unique and totally worth the money.

    Would not trust the reviews as most people have not actually played the game, just demo.

    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.
