It is as fun as any open-world exploration game like Assassin's Creed, but with a very fluid movement system and surprisingly deep combat. Unless you're playing on the hardest difficulty, you'll likely breeze through most combat encounters after a few hours of exploration, but that means that there are legitimate rewards and reasons to go exploring and pick up everything. The skill tree gives you a lot of choices, and the spellcraft system gives you a good reason to use everything and play around with abilities that you might not normally use.

    The story is different than a lot of stuff that you see, though still a little trope-y. The voice lines get repetitive during combat and exploration, but at least you get a good sense of the relationship between the characters. There's also interesting consequences for the actions that the player's character takes, with reasonable motivations and reactions. It probably won't win any rewards, but it gives you good motivation to continue exploring and go through the story areas.

    If you're someone who enjoys exploring a world and doesn't want Dark Souls level challenges, then there's a good chance you will enjoy playing this game.    … Expand

    Really not understanding the hate.. People either have false expectations or just love to hate on games. But after spending time with Forspoken I have to say I love the combat, movement system and explorability. Hard to find a game with gameplay this fun and this deep. Very easy to pick up and play.. UNLIKE Elden Ring.

    Although the game has some reasonable faults at its heart it is still a fun experience. The combat specifically is outstanding just don't spam the same spell over and over and expect enjoyment.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is actually really good, and there are obvious tall tales being told by many other reviewers. Since no one has to verify they've ever even played the game, they can come on here and say whatever they want about something they've never played. I've never seen a more obvious fake review bombing in my life. Just look at all the boiler plate arguments being made. Same talking points in a bunch of ratings, and no one's questioning that lack of variation. That's crazy to me.

    They say the graphics are mediocre but the environments are larger, more detailed, more populated, and more active than in Fortnite, Dauntless, and Bayonetta 3. Proof of the falsehood of these claims is being posted all over Twitter; screenshots from the game itself. There are even wildly false claims about the graphics being seriously downgraded. That's not true. It's stunning on PS5, and a quick trip to YouTube to watch actual PS5 gameplay proves that it looks great - overall better than Division 2, that's for sure. Division 2 focuses on player characters, and the NPC's don't look so hot. More attention was given to all of the characters in Forspoken than in that. The dragon looks spectacular, and the special effects have far fewer flashing white screens than very many other titles, making it more epilepsy friendly without losing the magic of the visuals. The closest justification they have is from grabbing stills from YouTube gamers using the lowest settings on budget PC's, or criticizing character models as if PERFECTLY recreating a real actress in modeling software is easy. That's not an honest opinion, that's a bandwagon for the sake of hating a game that they already chose to hate well before its launch.

    They say the dialogue and voice acting are bad, but they gave Bayonetta 3 rave reviews despite it sounding much worse, and they say the narrative is typical or mediocre while applauding other titles that simply RETELL PRE-EXISTING STORIES WITH THE ONLY CHANGE BEING THE INSERTION OF A NEW CHARACTER [GoW] - and even games that have no story at all [Smash]. Some, like Batman, don't even introduce new characters when retelling the exact same story. The combat banter, explorative chatter, and cinematic narrative are all solid. Lots of references to Marvel movies, but the story is actually more closely related to Alice In Wonderland and Magicians [both applauded for their narratives, and the former is even referenced] -_- Most people making these arguments actually NEVER played the game because they would know that otherwise. Mario is typical; Forspoken isn't typical at all. It's not cringe Identitarian woke nonsense either, some just don't like that the lead and heroine is a racial minority who was a troubled youth. You can even see these biases in reviews ON HERE for Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Similar complaints, more forgiving ratings for the classic franchise despite the same prejudices. KH3 keeps telling the same story in new locations; rave reviews. Forspoken drops an urban adult orphan who was previously trapped in a bad and realistic situation into an Isekai modeled after GoT-like fantasy worlds [yes, there are poor people living in ghettos in the modern REAL world], gives her magical abilities, challenges her to survive in an environment that she's never experienced the parallel of, and forces her to solve a mystery around very powerful people just so that she can return home to continue her life; considered typical. How is that cookie cutter? Platform envy can make people adorably childish.

    The combat in this is richer, more varied, and more creative than in that of Hades; Hades gets rave reviews and Forspoken gets review bombed. What's the difference? Exclusivity. That's interesting, isn't it? Hades has different effects applied to the same limited move set of each of the only six standard weapons. It's extremely limited in combat variety. Forspoken has advanced movement mechanics [a cross between AC and Spider-Man], a host of different spells that ALL have different animations, a solid unlock and upgrade tree, two styles of combat to approach different situations within the same character, a mix of adds that often requires switching between combat styles, third-person shooter mechanics that use magic instead of bullets [in the spirit of Uncharted], and over-the-shoulder melee mechanics [in the spirt of GoW]. She can even continue fighting while using her parkour movements. Player controlled attacks in the middle of flips? That's not common.

    There are so many double standards used in the negative reviews of this game, and there's even more dishonesty. Don't let haters yank your chain simply because they didn't get the game on their preferred platform, and don't let polarizing critics do it either. Profiting off of hot takes and hyperbole are the norm now, so challenge them by trying the demo. You just might like it.    … Expand

    I am enjoying this game so much. I haven't fallen into a world with its story and lore in so long. The beginning and intro may be long but once you get more freedom and the hang of all the fast paced controls. It's so much fun.

    My only complaint is not being able to walk during certain Cuff narratives.

    Forspoken é um jogo audacioso, ele tenta entregar muito e falha em alguns quesitos, porem não podemos negar que ele tem uma bela história por mais que talvez não tenha aproveitado ao máximo. O universo do jogo é muito abrangente tendo extremos desafios, porem ele não te recompensa o suficiente para aprofundar, um detalhe bem marcante que entrega muito bem é o detalhe da história isso é o ponto forte do jogo, os detalhes minuciosamente descritos para as áreas que Frey vem a descobrir e destravar é um ponto interessante. A Gameplay acaba por ser repetitiva como todo jogo, mas não chata, a personagem principal ao decorrer da história nós apegamos a ela nos sentimos indiferentes, as vezes com raiva e até mesmo nos solidarizamos. Com o decorrer dos fatos é levemente previsível de previnir o que pode ser o desfecho final da campanha principal, porem não deixa de impactar bastante, por conta dessa mistura de sentimentos que temos em relação a protagonista. Eu diria que Forspoken é um jogo que no fim ele não vai marcar gerações e revolucionar a indústria dos games, como a maioria dos jogos atuais, porem ele pode pelo menos descansar sabendo que é um bom jogo.

    Obs: alguns pontos muito interessantes que o jogo abrange de forma mesmo que sútil são problemas de autoconfiança, depressão / suicídio entre muitos temas que a protagonista meio que vai se descobrindo com o tempo.

    Obs 2: O jogo tem uma temática muito parecida com alice no pais das maravilhas, e tem inclusive um livro de história mencionado em duas partes da gameplay, mas o que mais me chamou a atenção foi a parte da trilha sonora que é praticamente idêntica a de alice e até os visuais e ambientação de alguns lugares.    … Expand

    I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I am absolutely loving Forspoken! I think the gameplay is great and, yes, some elements are rough around the edges but I'm so glad that developers are investing time into new IPs. Some elements feel truly next gen and I can't wait until my next play session. Strongly disagree with all the hate these creatives have to endure online.

    My main complaint about this game is that the script kinda sucks and their humour isn't really all that funny. The protagonist is rather annoying as a character. That being said, it's not an awful script, just not a good one.

I enjoyed the combat, slow at first like most games. Gotta keep playing and exploring to get stronger, like most games. I like the story so far. I like reading about the history and the people of Athia. For me it gets an 8. Playing it, I didn't have any issues pop up. Sure, I can nick pick about small issues, like talking to npc you have to stand right in front of them to engage in conversation. Some games you can stand on the side of them, and they would turn and face you. Frey and cuff do repeat dialog in the open world. Not the first game a played that had this issues. The thing is you can go into option and change how much they interact with each other in the world. I remember playing cyberpunk 2077. Came out on PS4 but was playing it on my PS5. What a buggy mess. Game crash so many times. Had the director apologizing for a buggy game. PlayStation issuing refunds and took it off the store page. So many updates to get it working right. IGN give it a 9 out of 10. I could go on and on about cyberpunk 2077, about the graphics, the menu, the map. Story was good but could never finish it. I give cyberpunk a 6 out of 10. With good reason. Forspoken doesn't really do anything new that we haven't seen before. Hard to find games that do that anymore. But it's playable. I Know, everyone has there on opinions, and I respect that. It's hard reading review about games nowadays. I wonder how many fake reviews they are on here just to drive the score down.

    Graphically, the game unfortunately doesn't look as great as in the "Project Athia" announcement trailer, but I already knew that from the demo. It still looks nice though. Gameplay wise, the parcour and combat systems are really well designed and the world is built as a playground for those features.

    Forspoken certainly won't be my "Game of the Year 2023", but it doesn't deserve all that hate either. Most reviews seem to exist in an echo chamber these days, be it for better ("Isekai setting") or for worse ("Cringe dialogue").    … Expand

Honestly, if you can make it past the first boss you unlock more powers and the game really starts progressing after that point. If you can ignore the bad writing the gameplay redeems it somewhat.

    I really liked the game, it reminded me of the X360/Ps3 era when the plots of the games were clean and naive in a good way, the same feeling I experienced when watching TV shows like Hercules and Xena Warrior Princess.
    I really liked the music in the game, it is really magical and makes you feel like you are in another world together with the main character Frey.

    I really liked the music in the game, it is really magical and makes you feel like you are in another world together with the main character Frey.
    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.

    I truly don’t understand the hate. For luminous studios first game I think they did an amazing job. I’m fully convinced the mass gamer base is braindead considering Elden ring can win game of the year and it’s trash. Meanwhile a brand new IP with an interesting story and entirely fresh combat system gets hated on. If it looks cool to you then buy it, screw the haters!

    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. PS 5 ****

These glitches are especially prevalent during fast-paced, high-stress moments in the game, leading to frustration and annoyance.

    Another common issue with the game is the presence of visual and audio glitches. Characters might suddenly disappear or appear in strange places, and audio cues may not match the on-screen action. This can cause confusion and disorientation for players, making it difficult to accurately assess the situation and respond appropriately.

    The glitches in the game are not limited to just the visual and audio components. Gameplay mechanics are also affected, with players reporting issues with hit detection, collision detection, and other critical elements. These issues make it difficult for players to control their characters and progress through the game, as they often find themselves at the mercy of the game's unpredictable and faulty programming.

    The game is widely considered to be plagued by an excessive number of glitches that negatively impact the player experience. Whether it's the frequent crashes, visual and audio anomalies, or faulty gameplay mechanics, these glitches make it difficult for players to fully enjoy the game and its features. As a result, many players have expressed disappointment and frustration with the game and its developers, who have yet to provide a satisfactory solution to these ongoing issues.    … Expand

A játék története alatt elérhető képességek látványával dominálva akar minket a képernyő elé ragasztani. A fejlődési lehetőséggel eleinte lassan érhetők el a képességek ,ami kicsit eltántoríthatja a játékost. Bár ha kitartunk ,akkor viszont nagyon sok kombó lehetőség áll elénk, ami színesebbé és még élvezetesebbé teszi a harcot és annak látványát. A harcok közben lévő animációk precizek ,folyékonyak. A gondosan finomhangolt parkour ugrások,kitérések is szintén a legjobb latványt nyújtják. Az átvezető videók animaciói középszerűek viszont jól néznek ki. Néhol van olyan textúra ami nem elég kidolgozott a világba. A map hatalmas és néhol üres lehet. Viszont a történet és annak világa indokolja az élettelen tájakat. Dimbes-dombos ,hegyes füves kopár elhagyatott,néhol zord tájak váltják egymást. Nagyon sok mindent lehet tenni a térképen. Fejleszteni statot,macskákat lehet elkapni, ,ruhákat és nyakláncokat feloldani,fejlesztéshez és craftoláshoz való anyagokat gyüjtögetni ,ládákat kifosztani és olyan materiákat szerezni,amik elég könnyen feloldható puzzle ládákhoz vannak kötve.

Vannak labirintusnak nevezett helyek ahol a vegéig vezető úton szobakba enemyk majd a végén egy boss van. Minden elért képességet tudunk durvára fejleszteni a safe houseokba, miután megkapjuk az elérhetőségét. Ezek amolyan harc alatti challengekhez vannak kötve. Összessegében a játék jó de nem tökéletes.

I know the response to it has been poor for the most part, but I genuinely enjoyed the vast majority of my time in Athia and am glad I ignored all the negativity leading up to its release.

    2 qualifiers:

    1.) I absolutely hate open world games with silent protagonists, so I actually enjoyed Frey and Cuff’s back and forth. I turned the banter frequency to high and didn’t mind when lines would repeat since it was something to keep me company while I was out exploring.

    2.) I also don’t hate “Whedon-esque” or “Marvel” (or whatever other super fun and original label you want to slap on it) style dialogue, so I was entertained by the quips and quirks throughout the game’s events. There isn’t any particular line or interaction that felt out of place given the circumstances. A lot of interactions left me with a goofy grin on my face.

    I can see how the animations aren’t anything groundbreaking or special, but they’re far from terrible. A handful of sequences were breathtaking and the only real complaint was the faces being stiff outside of cutscenes. That’s not really something that I take points off for though, given how much I enjoyed the story and gameplay everywhere else, so YMMV.

    There was nothing at all wrong with the gameplay. I felt the damage scaled appropriately as you went though the story, and upgrading your spells wasn’t a grind since you could easily refund your points to reallocate them as you felt like it. The quests you take to upgrade the spells further all felt fair. Traversal and pulling off combos were both massively satisfying. I only had one crash after I had played the game for about 8 hours straight. It happened during a cutscene toward the end, and when I reloaded it played through just fine.

    Overall, I enjoyed my experience with Forspoken a lot and am hoping to see more of this world and its characters. I loved that Frey was her own person, even if that meant going against what you, as the player, thought she should want to do or how she should act. Not that she wasn’t relatable, there were a lot of times I’d find myself commenting on the game and not long after Frey would say something very similar. I can’t say anything for or about the people that hate it so much, I can only say how much I loved it. A character-driven narrative with snarky one-liners and a companion that helps keep off the lonely feeling that creeps in when I play open worlds, with plenty of space to run (and jump and flip and throw **** with your mind.) Forspoken is what I’ve been needing out of my AAA games, I only wish I could get more of it.    … Expand

    And oh my god the dialogues are so cringe. Frey and the cuffs just can't shut up. Whenever they talk it's like a competition of who's going to make the snarkiest remark. The main character is unlikable, she swears all the time, it's like a child when they learn a bad word for the first time and then use it on every occasion.
    I saw that the writing team was american which explains a lot. American devs think it's "cool" to say "sh*t" and "f*ck" every time.    … Expand

    i put into 10 hours of gameplay and finished beating tanta sila which was very easy since i had been treasured hunting and looting everything in sight but there are something that i have honestly deemed unnecessary
    the cutscene whoever made them was clearly lazy and did not give a 100% of his job, for example, the court scene in new york where the camera placement was so odd and those    i put into 10 hours of gameplay and finished beating tanta sila which was very easy since i had been treasured hunting and looting everything in sight but there are something that i have honestly deemed unnecessary
    the cutscene whoever made them was clearly lazy and did not give a 100% of his job, for example, the court scene in new york where the camera placement was so odd and those blackouts, what with them? they were so many that i hated and found it a nuisance.
    the open world: the open world may have been huge and riddled with monsters and enemies but it felt empty as if there is nothing really there and were just wandering around with nothing much to do, although it is explained in the campaign why there no interactive npc in the open world and there is a limited amount of side quest but the upside is the traversal is very exciting
    the combat system is very new (i think) maybe it is somewhat similar to the infamous second son but there are more way to fight.
    as for the story, the story needs some work it kind of felt like it was in a rush to get the ending and there were definitely some plot holes or unanswered questions that remained unanswered, the only good thing is that there are no cliffhangers
    now for frey holland she is amazing what i really admired is cursing i found it relatable since i also have the mouth of the sailor lol the way she is portrayed is realistic to someone who was force to go another world and doesn't want to put herself in danger for the sake others but is forced to confront all the dangers in athia
    overall the game is pretty decent but i highly suggest to buy the game when it sale because i can't promise you can enjoy the game because many people mixed review    … Expand

    This game had stunning graphics and a pretty decent story. Loved the open world and the magic/combat system. Biggest complaints are the idle dialogue gets repetitive quite quickly and the audio/visual doesn't match up during cut scenes. All in all a solid game.

    Great game. The first 2-3 hours and handling of cut-scenes are bad, but it's an amazing journey and the game has really fun fighting mechanics and parkour.

    I expected this game to be a total disaster. However, it is quite interesting, introducing a fun and different, dynamic way to play. Characters a little stiff despite trying to make jokes, but at least there is no cringe IMO. Even though this title is nothing extraordinary, I really enjoy playing it. It's been a long time since any game (except GoW and Persona) has sucked me in so much.I expected this game to be a total disaster.

The price on Steam was a joke, but at least it was easy to buy it in 30% discount in some 3rd party shops.… Expand

    Giving it a 10 to counter balance the sexist racists review bombing this game. They can't handle playing as a black woman apparently. The game is more of a 7. Great, fast flowing combat with a lot to do. Story is well done for what it is and the game is very pretty. Can start to feel a bit tedious later on though.

    I have no clue what’s going on. Amazing graphics with full Ray tracing and 120 hz support, great combat dynamics and a protagonist that curses like a normal teenager who refuses to be a hero and just want to go back home. Amazing magic and parkour. Tons to do. I’m 6 hours in and my only problem is the cutscenes fade to black often. Completely worth it.

    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.

    That’s Forspoken’s biggest problem – everything I like about it gets dragged down by the unrelenting dullness of everything else. The story is boring, the characters are boring, the enemies are boring, and the world is boring.

    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.
