The narrative won’t linger with me, and I avoided combat in the open world often, but I loved making Frey leap and fly through Athia to discover all its treasure chests and secrets. I sprinted, often literally, through the campaign in about 15 hours, and now I have a large world filled with nooks and crannies I’m eager to run through and explore. Game Informer (75): Forspoken’s story and combat fail to reach the heights of its movement and exploration, but thankfully those two latter elements make up most of the experience.

The adventure is at its weakest when it’s forcing players to wade through lots of poor narrative content that takes too long to pay off. One publication goes so far as to suggest that Forspoken may be 2023’s worst game, while another described it as a “magical world without wonder,” although some have tried to be positive, calling it a true next-gen experience that features great visuals.įorspoken currently has a 68 Metascore at Metacritic, derived from 62 reviews, 37 of which are mixed and lean more toward the negative:ĭigital Trends (70): I would recommend Forspoken to action and RPG fans, but I wish I could give them one of my save files with total open-world freedom and most of the traversal and combat spells unlocked from the jump. According to initial reviews of the game that went live today, the new fantasy RPG from Luminous Productions could have turned out better, with many critics pointing out its alleged shortcomings, which seemingly include a poor story, short length, unlikable main character, dull open world, and gameplay system that really only shines later in the adventure. Forspoken may not be the huge hit that Square Enix was anticipating.
