    720p, Dips to 20fps, bad dialogue. Had to return it for a refund. I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you enjoy it then of course play it.

    I wanted to like this game as I thought clips were being cherry picked to make it look bad. I was wrong. The dialogue alone was enough to make me stop playing. I've never had this experience before with a game. I guess if you are deaf give it a go otherwise save your money.

    The developers should be ashamed of this creation, the open world is lacklustre and unpolished, which coupled with the terribly written dialogue makes the experience of playing this game mentally draining. This game is not worth $115AUD, let alone half that. Don't waste your money.

    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.

    Great idea for a new IP, unfortunately bad optimized for his launch nothing different from the demo and really downgrade of what we see on the trailer, forspoken will need a lot of help to run properly, even after said this game was made for PS5 it doesn't even run properly on the PC or the console.

    It looks like Square Enix went to the same recruiting agency that has been supplying the individuals trashing the Disney Marvel Universe. It literally has the same humor as the recent She Hulk.

It literally has the same humor as the recent She Hulk. The positive here is at least it's not an existing intellectual property being trashed. The main character is completely unlikable with no redeeming qualities. She is literally nasty to people that just helped her to an unnatural level where it doesn't even make sense. If the gameplay is just average the story and characters need to make up for it which this game doesn't. Stop listening to the few woke extra loud squeaky wheels and in quotes "professional" game critics that are activist in disguise. Honestly diversity even made sense in the beginning of this game but to overdo it with making every single person in power a women looks like it was just pushing an agenda instead of focusing on making a good game. Diversity is good and won't ruin a good game but forced diversity can make an average game bad which the user scores clearly show. Average game play, average graphics, points for being weird, not likable main character, and way to many other games to play to finish this one. The game is a typical 6 but a 0 for forced diversity making it a 3. It can be immersion breaking & immersion is the whole reason people like Square Enix games. You kill immersion you kill Square Enix. I play videogames to escape the politics of this stupid world and when even I can pull out a scorecard while playing a game something is really wrong. If this is where games are headed thank god there are so many old ones that I have enough for a life time.… Expand

    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

    One of the most unlikable characters in recent memory for a video game. Combat is fun but is completely ruined by poor character design and an empty open world. Square should focus less on appealing to a Western audience.

    Ох. Давно я так сильно с игр не горел. "Прошел" форспокен, смотря стримы DeadP47. Такого лютого дерьма я давно не видел. Теперь по фактам.
    1. Персонажи говны.
    Главная героиня по всем канонам нынешней повестки нигерша, к тому же "особенная". Абсолютно все персонажи крайне бесят в своей тупости, лицемерии и убогости. За пример идти вообще не буду. 3 или 4 шлюхи поссорились и призвали демона.    Ох. Давно я так сильно с игр не горел. "Прошел" форспокен, смотря стримы DeadP47. Такого лютого дерьма я давно не видел. Теперь по фактам.
    1. Персонажи говны.
    Главная героиня по всем канонам нынешней повестки нигерша, к тому же "особенная". Абсолютно все персонажи крайне бесят в своей тупости, лицемерии и убогости. За пример идти вообще не буду. 3 или 4 шлюхи поссорились и призвали демона. Они его победили, но не победили. Этот самый демон стал браслетами и прикрепился к каждой из этих сук, начав сводить их с ума. Как думаете, эти самые шлюхи, которые являются по совместительству правителями своих земель сделали хоть что то, чтоб уберечь своих подданных? Они их предупредили о том, что сойдут с ума? Нет! Нихуя подобного! В игре же из уст ГГ прозвучало примерно следующее "Они являлись просто жертвами, а виноват демон", при том, что именно они его и призвали!
    2. Логика говны.
    Тут все просто. Эти браслеты, являющиеся фактически частями демона сводили обладателей с ума. Это правило разрабы сами же и нарушили, показав гг во время сцены после титров, которая спокойно себе живёт с таким браслетом и даже с ним разговаривает. Так же логика вышла из чата потому, что у гг мать и отец белые, но при этом сама "героиня" является нигершой. Мать вместо того, чтоб отдать свою дочь отцу, просто выкидывает её в портал. В рандомное место и рандомное время. Попав в детский дом ещё младенцем гг получила имя. Замечу, что она могла получить абсолютно любое, хоть жопа залупина, но при этом эта сука выдает следующее "так мать меня назвала в ее/его честь", или что то в этом духе. И так со всем!
    3. Оптимизация и графика говны.
    Даже на 4090 ФПС порой падал до 57 кадров + фризы и другого рода говно. Эти партикли вообще бесполезны, хоть они так ими коечились. Можно было сделать куда красивее и менее ресурсозатратно. Графика хуже, чем в атсасине юнити, но это уже мем.
    4. Сюжет говны.
    Как и заведено в деловых дерьмоиграх/дерьмоаниме у нас тут гребаный исекай. Бомжиха бросила своего кота и исекайнулась в какой то фентезийный мир. Ее сразу все начали облизывать, мол какая она особенная и необычная, и так далее и так далее. По факту что мы имеем?
    1) Сплошные плоские клише про избранную/особенную/единственную и неповторимую.
    2) 12 глава просто зашквар. Все, из чего она состоит, так это из "слезовыжималок" и убогой экспозиции, чтоб отбелить боссов игры, мол "они лишь жертвы, в во всем демон виноват. Такие они хорошие" и не учитывая того, что именно эти бабы виноваты в смерти их мира.
    P.S. Эта игра идеально показывает то, что женщины у власти приведут цивилизацию в упадок, если не к полной аннигиляции, после чего перекинут всю вину на кого либо, лишь бы самим не отвечать за свои действия. Демон это топовый персонаж, хоть и главный злодей. Ему я импонировал куда больше, чем надменной суке.    … Expand

Constant fades to black and silent moments, the already slow pace of the story is further artificially slowed down ad-nauseum. The dialogue is very wooden, cliched and cringey, with awkward pauses between each line. The main character's performance is constantly over-acted and over-performed, over-expressed. Nothing here makes sense. Several dialogue/writing continuity errors. Plot hole every 10 minutes.
    Somewhat empty and lifeless world to explore.
    The main character often does things which make her unlikable, it's hard to immerse.
    Technically it's also badly coded/optimised, a sad reminder that modern developers and coders are using bloated, leaky untidy code. The game looks like it could've come out 8-10 years ago, but it plays like it needs a computer from the future.

    Overall, the game feels more like the product of board meetings and market research, with no heart or soul.

    The saving grace is the voice acting for Cuff, and some interesting environments, and some cool creatures/bosses.    … Expand

    The game would be considered decent if it was an Indie game, priced at a max of 40$, but considering it is a AAA game, marketed as aiming for the best graphic, this is absolute trash if we look at optimization and quality. This can be called a flop even if it was an Indie game

    2023 continues the trend of "better wait for reviews before pre-ordering" as the state of mainstream gaming continues to nosedive into the sewer. Forspoken was dead in the water from its demo but the actual game is even worse! So what are companies and devs actually thinking

    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.

    Forspoken is an urban-come-high-fantasy open-world, action-adventure game played in the third person. Combining magic and parkour, you take on the role of Frey as she learns to understand her new abilities in a strange world that needs saving from disaster.
