    7) where are the enemies? Mostly boring ass animals.

    9) spells are cool and traversal is as well, but it doesn't last.

    Overall - do not buy at full price, wait for huge sale or dont buy at all and wait for something better, and if you are a minor, don't play around parents that don't like cussing. You will get an earfull.    … Expand

    This game fails on everything we expected. Story wise is so bad and cliché that a 8 years old kid could have written the story.
    The open world is repetitive, filled with a miriad or interest points that you have to clear to get drops and stats (statues). Also it feels very wrong on some levels.

    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.

    The dialog is the worst part of the game. Frey's personality is dead. That is not how you write teen angst. The magic effects are pretty.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The world comes off as bland, empty and generic. The protagonist are unlikable with all their tounge-in-cheek bantering, and the dialogue comes off as cringey most of the time. The different bio-domes are amount to just colored filters. The story was as generic as the world and felt like it was written by an A.I

    The only plus I can give was its combat sytem, but it was soured by the lack of/amount of recycled enemies through the game.

    If you really want to dive into this game, Play the demo first. My experience was exactly the same as when I played the demo, only difference was that my bad experience is prolonged in the full version of the game.    … Expand

I like to play with at least 60 fps but even in performance mode it obviously drops below that constantly. Constant stutters even in closed rooms, combat and open world have even worse with stuttering. Any other mode runs 30 fps and still has some noticeable stuttering and frame rate drops. Graphics are OK but I certainly wouldn't call them great. Games like God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon and many others all look better and perform much better. Gameplay and combat can be fun but there's nothing special or really all that new. Story is not terrible but not great, the main character is completely unlikable which really takes away from my engagement. I haven't finished the game yet so maybe she gets better. Pacing is way off. Long stretches of boring, insignificant story and wondering around the city go on far too long before getting to any actual action. It's fine for a little bit, but this is way too long. I may make it through the game, I may not. I may also just shelve it for a few months and try again to see if Square actually releases any patches to fix the performance but they aren't known for putting out timely patches so I'm not holding my breath. Overall, this is a game that did have some potential but is nearly a complete miss.… 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.

The combat and traversal just feel too floaty, the "enemies" (a lot of which are just animals in the game world) are the most generic dull creations you can imagine. Then you have numbers spilling out all over the place during combat which looks awful, then there's the graphics which seem to switch between reasonable looking to low rez 720p and lower. As for the game world itself, it's just lazily designed and rather dull looking, there's just nothing very inventive about the world design...oh and the npcs are all brain dead. There's literally nothing good in this game at all. Quite an achievement for Square Enix!… Expand

The only upside is gameplay is fluid and fast but that alone is not worth 79,99€ for the standard European version. Can’t even refund because of PlayStations policies.

    Como conclusión... Forspoken es una cosa genérica, que desde la Tokyo Game Show estaba apestando a flatulencias y que los Sonyers con todo orgullo van a tragarse y defender esta cosa a capa y espada porque es su exclusivo, mejor invierte esos 70 dolares en algo que valga la pena como Mario Odyssey, Kirby and the Fogotten Land o Sonic Frontiers o ahorrarlos para futuros lanzamientos de videojuegos como Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, RE4 Remake o Hogwarts Legacy, si dudabas de este juego, tenias razon, es un bodrio y un chiste mal contado.

    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

    Should be a great game but its not. Starts off extra slow for about 8 hours then it gets better.. Other than the nice looking landscapes & exploration in the nice looking world its a tough game to enjoy. The protagonist is poorly written, story is horrible, combat so clunky and the fade to black screen each cut scene is annoying. Play it and see for yourself.

    as far as the spell and combat system is concerned, I am very satisfied, a pity for the environment that surrounds it, which is very bare and shallow, this does not give total immersion to the game.

    Sorry but this game is a perfect example of woke, overhyped garbage. It was very promising from what we saw in trailers but I feel like the finished product is a parody of what it could have been. The writing is weak, solidified by the over use of the F-bomb. The voice acting is cringe to the point where the sound of the protagonists voice actually gets on my nerves after a little while.Sorry but this game is a perfect example of woke, overhyped garbage.

    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.

Everyone has their opinion but i thought a zero is a completely nonfunctional game that is unplayable. You can adjust the dialogue options. I’m not saying that all the negative reviews are from people mad about a protagonist that is a woman or a person of color but I would not be surprised that is what a couple are about. The combat is tight and responsive. The magical parkour is a blast to float through your environment. The rpg element is not incredibly deep but enough to keep me interested throughout the game so far. I love games that have a system to customize clothing and it affects your character. It’s nothing like cyberpunk 2077 but there are some options that allow for customization that increases stats. It’s a slow start but once you can free roam it’s worth it for me. The game is not a visual masterpiece but running in quality mode which is 4K (no ray tracing) with decent frame rates it’s a pretty game. I’m enjoying myself. It does suffer from standard checklist gaming but it does not bother me but I do understand it can bother others. I’m am playing on the PS5 so I’m unsure about the PC version. I’ve heard there are some issues so I would probably wait for some patches or better optimization. I like games in this category so I’m enjoying myself maybe more than others but it is a very fun game for me. If you’re not a huge fan of fantasy rpg probably wait for a sale.

I've had zero performance issues (anyone on ps5 claiming performance issues is probably lying or they need to clean their ps5), some of the fastest loading screens in any game I've played and I've encountered no bugs. I don't care about the story at all, I don't play most games for the story, so I skip all the bad dialogue every one is hating on therefor I have no idea how bad it potentially is. If you play just for the gameplay like I do than it is well worth it in my opinion. My main complains are that your companion, which is permanently with you, talks a lot and most of what it says is it just repeating it's self, it will say the same thing 50 times and than still keep saying it, and exploring doesn't feel worth it. I have been fully exploring every zone so far and most of the optional stuff you can do just gives worthless crafting mats. Overall if you don't care much about story like me than it's well worth it, the game play is enjoyable (good but not great) and you get a lot of content, 22hrs in and I've only explored like 20% of the map.… Expand

It's great to see a person of colour as the protagonist but the writing fails her miserably. She is unbelievably boring and this is highlighted with her interactions with the just as uninteresting NPC's. The dialogue between her and Cuff is so cringy they give you and option to dial it back. The premise is actually interesting but the execution of it is poor. The amount of hand holding and black screens make the beginning of the game a slog and a chore to play. This results in the plot overall being uninteresting to me and doesn't come close to capturing the imagination. The open world feels empty even though there are things to do. This is because they don't give a good enough reason to actually do side quests/things on the map. It feels like they just randomly put things on the map without any thought. Gameplay feels decent but only against bigger enemies does it feel satisfying. Against smaller enemies it feels u rewarding. The game also doesn't run well on PC. This is what I and most PC gamers are expected and currently experiencing. The writing was on the wall for how bad the PC version would be as no PC codes were sent to reviewers before launch, which is a major red flag.
    Ultimately Forspoken fails on a lot of levels, and the game being $10 more than usual is just pathetic. This is a game that'll be heavily discounted in a couple of months because of how bad it is, so save your money and only buy it if the discount is around 60%/70% off and above.    … Expand

Realmente nadie niega que Forspoken queda a deber en caunto al hype que se tenia, aunque para algunos que jugamos el demo empezamos a sospechar del producto final; y pues no nos equivocamos del todo, el juego es si se ve bien con unos controles del personaje que se siente fluido y que da para muchas combinaciones de magias que en combinacion con los entornos puede llevarnos a realizar coreografias sorprendentes, lo malo de esto es que el mundo abierto en el que nos topamos en el juego está muy vacío (en este aspecto me recordo al mapa de Hyrule en Zelda BOTW), ésto aunado a una paleta de colores en los enemigos del juego resulta medio dofocil diferenciarlos a la distancia; la personalizacion de las magias y de los objetos como capas, collares y hasta el decorado de las uñas que nos confieren diferentes habilidades es grande y como en otros RPG se requiere de materiales para poder mejorarlosl La historia no es tan diferente a otras historias de un protagonista que fue a dar de manera magica a otro universo para ayudar a salvar al mundo (recorde la pelicula de la torre oscura), no es tan compleja y es simple por lo que podras antocipar algunos giros de trama con facilidad. Una de las partes que me gustaron y que disfrute bastatnte fueron las batallas con los jefes, grandes y vistosos caracteristicos de Square Enix. En conclusión es un juego promedio, sin duda le falto mucho la parte innovación ya que muchas de las mecanicas ya fueron vistas en muchos juegos del pasado y se debio poner mas atención en la parte diferenciadora en una IP nueva que pintaba para ser un inicio de saga interesante.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Давайте сначала о достоинствах, в этой игре действительно очень хороший OST. К сожалению, на этом достоинства заканчиваются.

    Я поиграл в неё 3 часа, с надеждой, что вот-вот станет лучше, но становилось только скучнее, а недостатков появлялось все больше и больше.

    Начнем с того, что графически игра выглядит гораздо хуже большинства игр поколения PS4. Нью-Йорк из Spider Man или Division выглядел гораздо более живым, красивым и детализированным. Освещение в Forspoken отвратительное, там где все проблемные участки можно было спрятать освещением или режиссурой сцены - абсолютная пустота.

    Открытый мир Атии, или как он там, вообще напоминает ММО, абсолютно пустые и голые поля с группами врагов, которые просто стоят и ничего не делают, пока не подойдешь их бить. Геймплей как был скучным в деске, так таким же и остался. Циферки, выпадающие из них в интерфейсе на момент написания отзыва не отключались.

    Может бы вытащил все это дело сюжет, но увы, он на таком низком уровне, что лучше бы его просто не было. С момента, когда в доме героини начинается пожар и она уже будучи одетой просто игнорирует сумку с деньгами пока не найдет кошку... Ну, вы сами должны увидеть эту сцену, ничего, абсолютно ничего не мешало её взять эту сумку за 2 секунды, которая стояла прямо перед ней, а потом спасти кошку. Я понимаю, что таким образом сценаристы хотели "раскрыть героя", мол она выбрала спасти кошку и лишилась всего, но это не делается так тупо.

    Далее побег из башни-тюрьмы, мы сбегаем, тревога, весь город на ушах, нас все ищут стража прочесывает каждый уголок. Но уже с утра в этом же городе всем АБСОЛЮТНО наплевать на ваше присутствие. С вами здороваются местные жители, стражники приветствуют и улыбаются.. Эммм, простите что? Я восемь часов назад сбежал из тюрьмы и вы уже ничего не помните? В городе всего человек 100 живет...

    И вот так у них все, корявые анимации, постоянные зацепы героини за окружение, одинаковые дома, одинаковые текстуры всего, плохое освещение, плохой сюжет, постоянные "фак, фак , щит, фак, крап, фак , фак" где это совершенно неуместно.

    Короче не покупайте это, кроме музыки ничего хорошего в Forspoken нет.    … Expand

    This game dialogue and writing are atrocious and the story very basic with the most dislikable protagonist ever.

    Very disappointed with the game. Bland story line. I was really expecting more! And the worst part is, I can’t get my money back

    Empty world, kinda boring and generic, graphics aren't great in performance mode, npc are poorly made (looks like a ps4 game). However, parkour is original and fun.

    The world comes off as bland, empty and generic. The protagonist are unlikable with all their tounge-in-cheek bantering, and the dialogue comes off as cringey most of the time. The different bio-domes are amount to just colored filters. The story was as generic as the world and felt like it was written by an A.I

    If you really want to dive into this game, Play the demo first. My experience was exactly the same as when I played the demo, only difference was that my bad experience is prolonged in the full version of the game.    … Expand

    This game is peak cringe, you couldn't write a more cringe game if you tried. The protagonist is one of the most disgusting characters I've ever seen.

    I mean, graphics are good. Some parts of the combat is decent. But overall, huge empty worlds, boring. Traversal feels bad, mediocre almost all around.
    And then nail polish. Yes, custom nail polish gives you special abilities and stats. You can't make this up.

    This is why Games should not cost $69.99, they say they charge more because of the graphics, well the graphics in this game looks like Ps3 graphics, every 5 seconds there is a cut scene and the story is horrible, no wonder there was an embargo on this game until release date and there should be a law against showing trailers made on super computers and then releasing a game made on an Atari 2600.

    Forspoken feels like an unfinished game with a lot of untapped potential. It looked like an indie game that came out that way due to budget constraints when it could have been so much better.

    Magical world with exciting and thrilling story that eventually delivers. But until it does deliver it feels forever. A must play for those who love action paced fluid combat and enjoy different vibrant colours but can overlook and tolerate few cheap scripts and few silly bugs.

    I don't know what happened during the development of Forspoken, but this can't be what they were aiming for. The traversal, story and graphical elements of the game all suffer from the same issue: untapped potential.
