Wait for a deep deep sale. Some fun moments if you can turn off your brain, but overall disappointing with significant issues throughout.

Interesting premise severely hindered by dated presentation and excessive hand-holding cutscenes.

Dunkey gives a scathing review of Forspoken, calling it a terrible game. While using gameplay from Spider-Man 2 to illustrate better game design, he clearly establishes Forspoken as poorly designed wi

Cringe writing bad combat terrible protagonist - certified skip

Impressions-focused video discussing gameplay mechanics without final verdict.

Solid new IP with intriguing combat and spellbinding traversal abilities that draw players into Athia. Has its fair share of issues (guided narrative sometimes obscures open-world freedom, PSP-era limitations absent here) but Luminous Productions proves Forspoken can hang alongside Square Enix staples with more focus and refinement.

Final verdict 4/10 — below average. Mediocre story, grating protagonist dialogue, shallow open world.

Divisive release with late Gameranx coverage. Opinion piece meant to help steer purchase decisions — nuanced view suggesting take-it-or-leave-it depending on your tolerance for rough edges.

Forgettable story and unlikable protagonist; exhilarating parkour movement undermined by clunky combat and boring side quests.
