    Looks good, plays good, a nice use of souls-like mechanics to penalize players for dying but still lets you run freely and enjoy the game at your own pace; there is a lot to like about Foregone. It lands itself squarely near the top of the 2D action platformer pyramid. A little more depth in the skill tree and a little more oomph in the special abilities could take it to that next level, but it stands on solid footing and offers a class leading experience.

    Foregone is a good 2D action platformer, and worth a play-through. I’ve played many games that are easy to put down when the review is done, but Foregone is staying in my rotation for a while.

    Foregone, although initially weakened by a certain lack of personality, finally manages to impose its own rhythm, distinguishing itself as a fun and carefully developed action. The empowerment of the protagonist and her equipment keep the attention, while the difficulty, high but never prohibitive, puts the player on the one who lives, without ever throwing him into frustration. The derivative design soon gives way to an excellent technical department, capable of providing scenarios between the pleasant and the wonderful. Foregone, on the whole, is a pleasant and fascinating experience, which never manages to explode completely, but holds for its entire duration.

    Foregone offers a consistent and enjoyable experience but doesn’t do anything you can’t find elsewhere.

    Foregone offers some fast-paced, and at times, downright frantic gameplay moments providing a sense of accomplishment as you reach level transports or take out massive bosses. The adventure hits a few different high moments but does suffer from some repetitive design choices and enemy variety. Still, I’m left impressed with how Foregone took some chances on a heavily saturated genre and even managed to stand out through its beautiful level design and unique systems.

    The game is a ton of fun and high quality. It is fast(upgradeing your character can make combat faster), colorful, has great animations, you find different skills as you explore, and is just slick and fun. The loot is ok. I don't care for that, but you can upgrade them to be stronger. All in all a fun fun surprise. Took a risk, bought it on sale and I am having a very good time. Don't trust reviewers or youtubers who show the first 20 mins of a game (which is pretty much a majority of them).

    Performance is good. Had one crash but it never happened again.

    Also, it is not a rougelike game. It is a 2D action game with handcrafted levels.    … Full Review »

I felt like I have to! I tried the demo first.. I paid 5.99$ for it.. its the best 5.99$ purchase I have ever done.. i played dead cells, And other games in the genre but this, I think is better. When I was reading in info in eshop, i saw the word “Loot” and thats what made me try the demo, and boy, theres lots of good loot! I’m currently building crit build. Theres quests(loot drops in the process) theres the main campaign, good auto saves, and skill tree that can be reset for a price. I recommend this game.. i got 5 hours in right after i purchased it. Hopefully theres dlc in the future.… Full Review »
