Forspoken - PlayStation 5

It is a great game. Story is consistent. There are labyrinths, the puzzles, RPG elements, the variety of enemies and the distinction between them against different magical abilities, the amount of detail in the story, magic, very fluid game mechanics with abilities that can be mix-matched and chained together. Not to mention this game really takes advantage of the PS5 controller. You can feel the character walking, the haptic feedback when you are firing or building a explosive magic in your hand, and many others. It really makes you feel the gravity of the heavy elements vs lighter elements that you can rapid-fire. There are details in the game where, for example, you are struggling with an enemy and it hints you that the magic you might be using is not suitable and tells you if the magic was more suited for close or distant encounters. I thought those are great little touches. The design is well thought-out. Once you learn them, you can chain them and mix and match for any combination you like. The story is detailed. For everything you encounter, it develops a well organized archive section where you can access to the backstory for many characters, locations, items, etc. Our hero (trying to pose as anti-hero) is an orphan and her attitude is justified for where she came from and rough life she had to go through by herself, alone. Naturally, she doesn't trust others and it is really hard for her to bond with people given her life experience. There are details in the storytelling actually exposes her good heart under her shell. A hint we get in the story is from Olevia, the little orphan girl she meets who mirrors her inner fragile loving soul. Performance-wise, I didn't experience any glitches playing on PS5 and I am playing on a capable 120hz tv with ray tracing on. Something to note that I didn't get any updates to the game in the last couple days. Normally, modern games have a huge update at release. This one didn't have one so far. I thought that is positive and speaks for its quality. I didn't encounter any bugs or glitches myself given I am close to getting the platinum. You can search for YT for bugs or glitches and make up your own mind. Given my direct experience with the game, I do recommend it, especially to those who enjoy the RPG elements.

This game is awesome! I really don't see why it received the mediocre reviews that it did. I love that I can pick up the game, have fun with the magic parkour and do stylish combos with the various magic that Frey has at her disposal. This a great game to pass the time with and is very accessible to newbies to action rpgs. The story/writing is fairly good, not award winning but it makes sense and has its share of memorable moments. The conversation between Frey and Cuff is snappy, and full of snide remarks (which can be annoying but you can reduce the chatter in the settings). Outside of the combat, the world of Athia is beautiful and really takes advantage of the graphical capabilities of the ps5. I will say that some of the dungeons and forts you encounter are very similar in design which can be redundant (but that's the same with most rpgs). The sound/music is solid but wasn't captivating. It does ramp up appropriately during action sequences and settles nicely during moments of emotional impact. The worst aspect of the game is probably the detour side quests. They are mostly fetch quests that seem inconsequential to the worldbuilding of Forspoken. The best aspect is the combined combat/parkour and exploration of Athia. The true score of this game should be a 4/5 but I'll give it a 5/5 because of the lack of great reviews. Honestly, this game's surface level story is actually a vibe because a lot of AAA games these days take a lot of commitment and hours to get into/complete. You can be done with the game in 20 or you can take your time and rack up 50+ like I did.

This game had so many bad reviews I was hesitant to buy it. I still was intrigued so i decided to get it. It's much better than I thought it would be and kinda of addicting. It had some good RPG elements to its and customizing your gear is pretty cool so you have chooses and what you want to wear. Its not like one thing makes you more powerful because you can customize anything to be equal in powering you stats. The combat is very good and can get quite challenging with some enemies Also the world is so huge its open world and its quite big. Traversing the world with magic parkour is fun. The art can be very good in some parts of the world its a nice looking game for sure. The story is fine the voice acting is great, but it seemed a bit rushed at the end like they wanted to get it over with, and its not a very long game for just the main story. The say Frey isn't a likable character and that's why the game us bad, but she is pretty likable and can be kinda of funny. There where times when I didn't like her, but thats makes the game better. Basically you are Frey you playing as her. Yeah this could of been a better game, but I appreciate what they did with the game. Its worth buying and playing it is fun.

Estaba a un excelente precio. La verdad este juego merecía más fama, tiene un principio algo lento pero una vez arrancas en el mundo libre y el combate es excelente. La historia es entretenida pero nada del otro mundo. Si te gustan los RPG de acción es una buena recomendación y sobre todo con precio de oferta.

My humble opinion this is a great game love it !!!

La gente cada vez es más exigente, le dieron mucho hate pero es un gran juego con batallas rápidas y dinámicas, buena historia y graficos

À 20$ c’est un excellent rapport qualité prix

Uno espera algo mejor al ver "Square enix", pero no siempre es asi, si bien no es malísimo, tampoco diría que está muy bueno que digamos, es entretenido, pero la jugabilidad es... "rara", la protagonista no termina de agradarme, no sé si por ser una traducción aparentemente hecha por mexicanos (de algún barrio de la cdmx específicamente), me resulta irrisoria, palabras como "chido", "chale", "que ching***s", y un amplio abanico de modismos "defeños" jajaja, es barato, dale una oportunidad y saca tus conclusiones
