    Should probably make the main character not insufferable for the entire game without character developement. She's literally an **** to everyone for the whole game!

    Es como un mmorpg de hace 15 años, pero sin el multijugador, sin poder crear tu personaje, con una sola clase de guerrero y con malos graficos.

Ciudades vacias y sin chiste o vida, los npc's parecen de ps2 con movimientos totalmente roboticos y repetitivos, pero lo peor de todo es la "niebla" que se usa de una manera nefasta clara mente para ocultar cosas a la lejania y reducir la distancia de dibujado.

    La historia es sosa, nada que te enganche, personajes forzados a cumplir con ideoligias politicamente correctas que simplemente estan de sobra.

    La jugabilidad bastante regular, nada que no se haya visto en juegos como black desert(por ejemplo) que ya tienen bastantes años. Lo de combinar poderes y elementos es algo interesante pero se pierde totalmente cuando te enfrentas a enemigos con nula inteligencia.
    El parkour tambien es una idea buena pero mal ejecutada, juegos como spiderman o Dying light le dan 300 vueltas en mecanicas de movilidad, a eso le agregas que es un mundo vacio y se te quita el poco gusto que tenia la mecánica.

    La optimizacion es pesima, pero es algo que se puede mejorar, todo lo de mas no.

    Para mi, un fracaso total de Square y PS. (Juagado en PC con una 3060ti, 16 ram, i5 10400f)    … Expand

    This game's graphics need some polish and the dialogue has a bit too much profanity, but the combat is fun and while it doesn't add anything new to the open world genre the way you move around through the traditional open world content is more than entertaining enough. Once you've unlocked all of the powers, and there are a lot of them, the game gets even better.

    Poorly optimised game with performance issues. It boggles my mind to see show how poorly planned this release was...
    To make matters worse, the writing was horrible, so the story is bad...

Instead, I would like to commend Ella Balinska (the voice actor) for keeping up with and voicing the extremely unlikable and unsympathetic dialogue crafted by the developers and the team of "all-star" writers.

    Forspoken is a masterclass in how not to make video games.

    The developers should take lessons from A Plague Tale series, Red Dead Redemption series, God of War (2018 and Ragnarok), The Last of Us series, Halo series, and indie titles (Hollow Knight, Ori, Tunic, Stray, etc.) on constructing impactful video games.    … Expand

The story is terrible. The protagonist is so annoying. The dialogue is cringeworthy and so are the running animations. The physics are beyond horrible. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. There is a lack of enemy variety. I couldn't even jump into a pond full of water, because these developers were too cheap to make swimming mechanics. In what world does a modern AAA open world game lack swimming mechanics?

    There is nothing to do in the open world. It's just an empty lifeless world full of plants, trees, rocks and a boring copied and pasted ancient looking city. I am sick to death of developers making the same open world games over and over again. It's always this empty landscape with a few ancient architectures and weird looking monsters. Where's the variety in AAA games? If I wanted this ancient civilization stuff, then I would go watch the History Channel. Oh that's right, even the History Channel understood that ancient civilization is boring, so they added reality shows like Pawn Stars for ratings. These developers need to cut down on this ancient civilization trash and leave that stuff to books. Speaking of ancient, it's no wonder why a fossil like GTA V currently outsells AAA games that were barely released last year. What else are people suppose to buy when these out of touch developers make the same boring and empty open world game with ancient civilization? You see that NYC section at the very start of the game? That's what I want to explore, but the developers were too cheap and lazy to make an open world game in an urban area. It's easier to copy/paste plants everywhere and use rural areas as an excuse for lack of NPCs.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $70 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. Once again, is it a surprise why GTA V outsells newer games and will eventually outsell this trash before Summer or even Spring? What else are people suppose to buy when so many games have no multiplayer? Ancient civilization, empty worlds, no online, do video game developers not want to make any freaking money? Jesus Christ are these developers so out of touch. I can't even blame Rockstar for their laziness and re-releasing GTA V for the hundredth time. Why bother releasing GTA 6 when the rest of the developers are even lazier, to the point where they don't even want to compete against GTA 5. I don't recommend this game at all.    … Expand

    WOKE game of the year!!! If a game is tagged "WOKE" by players, it won't be a charming game. Game developers cannot be kidnapped by few "WOKE" activitists and thus ignore what players really want to play. Forspoken today, Final Fantasy tommorow.

    Do not walk behind the herd in a matter that you do not know anything about, and support it with all fanaticism, so as not to be likened to sheep. The game is beautiful, do not judge it opponents or evaluators, the player is the one who determines the game whether it is beautiful or not and not, those people who try free review copies.

If you race through the main story and do nothing else you’re limiting your entire experience to your own detriment. Combat is super fast pace, fun and dynamic. The amount of enemies and weak points makes for quick tactical changes during battle and keeps each encounter fresh. There’s some truly challenging boss fights (not story related) that make you work for your win. Some of the labyrinth bosses can be pretty insane too. There’s so many different ways to traverse the world and as you play the story and explore the map you find new spells frequently. There’s a lot of charm to the game as well like finding the Tanta’s familiars, chasing cats in Cipal and dancing in the pub. The gear and crafting options are abundant and really can be tailored to your approach to combat. There’s offensive, defensive, curative etc options that again, you’re only going to find by exploring the map and not just rushing through the story. I’m 60 hours in and doing post main story stuff and the game is still loads of fun with more detours and mutants and region bosses to take down. The uniqueness of the gameplay combined with the incredible storytelling (especially the super intense plot twisting crazy last half) make this one of the most memorable game experiences I’ve had in a long while. Give it a shot, Frey, Cuff & Athia definitely have and incredible story to tell.… Expand

At 10 hours the story was just about there but very thin The commentary was starting to grate just a little but was my sense of humour so i coped. Everything went downhill from there. The story became condensed with each boss kill I began to think I was being rushed to the end. The map was a nightmare to work with I tried to do everything side quests etc but you had to search for them The decision towards the end meant either the game was instant over or you continues on but after 20 hours i was done Replayability none So much money for 20 hours gameplay which at best was very poor I feel ripped off… Expand

    The world is full of things to explore - be it monuments, dungeons, towns, challenges and climbing tasks.

    The map is incredibly large and offers a lot. It took me about 10 hours to complete the first boss - and I didn't turn over every stone along the way.

    I can't quite understand the hate. The dialogue is what I would imagine it to be - a girl from the NYC gutter entering a magical world - different styles of speech and their conflicts.

I've experienced very little bugs or glitches, runs very smooth on ps5. Haven't experienced anything close to gamebreaking bugs though.

    One of the most unlikable protagonists I’ve ever had the displeasure of playing as. This is what happens when untalented writers think being rude, mean, and insufferable is supposed to somehow mean the character is “strong” and “independent”. There is no redemption arc, either. She’s a jerk all the way up to the end where she does a complete 180 for pretty much no reason whatsoever.

    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.
