So yeah, sorry to burst your bubble, but a 68/100 Metacritic score feels too high for this game. The only thing I can recommend is the music, which is quite dramatic and lovely and really wasted on such a lackluster release. Forspoken Video Review Forspoken is visually stimulating and a musical delight, but boring combat, poor characterization, and loose movement mechanics make for a mediocre experience. Project Athia is the culmination of Luminous Productions’ philosophy to create a completely new and fresh gaming experiences that fuses together the latest technologies with art. It’s not fun, it’s not engaging, it looks terrible. I would have to change the language or play it muted I think.Īfter less than half an hour, my mind was good and made up.

In search of a way home, Frey must use her newfound magical abilities to traverse sprawling landscapes, battle monstrous creatures and defeat powerful matriarchs known as Tantas. The game tries to be funny (I think?) but fails miserably. Forspoken is an action RPG that follows the journey of Frey, a young New Yorker transported to the beautiful and cruel land of Athia. Truly awful writing, bad line delivery (though this is likely more about the writing than the actors) and it’s pretty constant. 1,185 in Video Games (See Top 100 in Video Games) 42 in PlayStation 5 Games: Pricing : The strikethrough price is the List Price. Speaking of annoying, the dialogue between the main protagonist and her magic bracelet is about as cringey as anything I’ve encountered in a video game in the last decade.I was bored after the third group of mooks. You should feel it when you tear through enemies, but it’s floaty and unsatisfying. This should be a game with constant crunchy hits landing. Meanwhile, you almost never feel like you actually connect when you hit enemies. You have all these powers but just selecting them is a chore. With Ella Balinska, Jonathan Cake, Monica Barbaro, Anthony Skordi.

Hell, if I didn’t know what this was and just saw some video I might peg it as a PS3 game, and not even one of the better-looking ones. Forspoken: Directed by Takeshi Aramaki, Tom Keegan.
FORSPOKEN VIDEO GAME PC
For a game with such demanding specs that’s only releasing on PC and PS5, the graphics are shockingly last-gen.
