    All in all Forgone has been super fun for me. Sure, I could nit-pick at some very minor changes but what Big Blue Bubble has made is something awesome and that all platforming fans should give it a look. I think it provides the right amount of challenge for all gamers approaching it.

    Foregone is a good metroidvania we can recommend to those fans who have already played all the great games in the genre and are still looking for more.

    Foregone is a solid entry in the metroidvania genre, and the limited options in combat are slick enough. It does what it needs to do — the problem is that there are many better examples of this structure that would have to be recommended first.

With a heavy Dead Cells Vibe Foregone comes at you with incredibly smooth pixel art in all the character sprites. The rest of the game just doesn't hold up. The Story is fairly unique, holding it's own lore, but the game play doesn't meet the same caliber. Watching the enemies and the hero move is a treat, but actually playing doesn't bring the same flow. There are is such a slim weapon variety you never feel like you're getting something new. The upgrades don't feel any more powerful, and the static map feels more random and disorienting than procedurally generated ones. Combat doesn't feel satisfying at all. The one awesome mechanic that is brought to the table is your projectile weapon has a limited number of rounds that are replenished by successful Melee attacks, forcing you to uses everything you've got to keep a balance in your power. I never truly felt like I was powerful at any point, nor did I feel like the enemies posed enough challenge to make me feel weak either. Foregone isn't the worst Metroidvania to come out this year, but it's also not a great one either.… Full Review »
