Forspoken

I'm going to get this out of the way. This game is considered "woke" but in reality it is rather tone deaf as the African American protagonist is hits many of the Black stereotypes . In fact, this game appears to be a redemption arc of her trying to escape her stereotype, and potentially use this world as a get out of jail free card. The story is mildly entertainment, marred by the stereotyping, but improves a bit once you're leave earth. This game is not worth $70, but maybe worth $50, but, if you're willing to wait, you'll have no trouble getting it for $20, which I did. The only real issue I have, is reading the text, which is tiny, and kinda dark on a dark backgound.

This is why I still game. Epics like this. The story starts you off with a character more relatable than most thrust into a magical and alien-ish world on top of acquiring a strange companion with magical powers to boot. The voice acting and writing are actually quite witty. There's quite a well thought out world to explore here. The combat is hard'n fast, with the addition of magic skills/abilities adding for some nice diversity in your combat style. Been curious about this one for awhile seeing the negative reviews to what looks like an amazing game had me rather confused. The usual mo anytime a game features a a female lead and isn't white. The game is damn good. Bravo.

This game was fun. The combat is literally one of the best I have ever seen. I actually went on to platinum this game. A bit of advice to anyone who plans on getting this game, do the Spellcraft challenges, as early as possible so you learn the deeper combat mechanics. I was so distraught to have learnt all these cool combat moves end game. I was blown away by Frey's techniques, I just learned them a bit too late. But great game overall specifically the combat and traversing this very vast open world. Exploration was fun.

An honestly good game that was a victim of terrible marketing, horrible writing, and a tropey, unlikable main character. No beating around the bush here, a lot of the criticism this game received was well warranted, it has a frankly awful start to it's story with tired, Marvel writing that does it's main character no favors, the plot is not that engaging and Frey is a poorly written protagonist, I never found myself actually caring about her throughout the entire story. The soundtrack is also forgettable and bland, not a single track from the OST stuck out in my mind. That being said, the foundations for this game's gameplay are actually really solid and, if done better, could've been some of the most fun I'll have had in a game in a while. Unfortunately, that too is marred by the fact that the game feels at odds with itself sometimes on how it wants to be played. The parkour system for example is a really fun way of navigating the world, zipping around everywhere is genuinely enjoyable if not for the fact that all of Frey's momentum seems to come to a grinding halt whenever you're scaling any kind vertical surface or whenever you find yourself in the air. Simply put, the movement is fun so long as you stay on the ground but as soon as jumping or climbing enter the picture, the entire movement system of this game falls apart. Or take the combat system, which encourages and rewards you for being on the move and dodging around by scoring your performance throughout the battle, yet has many attacks and abilities requiring you to stay still and aim precisely at your target in order to land your hits effectively. This coupled with the fact that Frey herself feels difficult to control at times, with you never being sure what exact animation she will do next when you press for her to move and dodge, and you get a combat system that doesn't ever quite come together in a satisfying way. Despite the fact that the game doesn't do anything that it wants to do particularly well, it had a solid foundation that it could've built upon for a - now never going to happen - sequel. I still found it to be a worthwhile experience and I would recommend it if only for people to make their own judgments about it. Is it an amazing game? No it is not. But is it really one of the worst games of all time like most people would've had you believe when it released? No it most definitely isn't. It's an overall good game I would say that could've been something special but ultimately wasn't able to hit the mark.

Pick it up on a big sale and it could be a pretty good deal. The game play is fun, performance can be janky, story is absolutely terrible and every single character talking makes me wanna rip my ears out.

Too many cutscenes, it's impossible to play for 2 minutes without one...I believe the story is good, but come on, this isn't a visual novel..

Чем больше играешь в Forspoken понимаешь на сколько уёбищные побочки это безумно повторяющее исследование открытого мира,я взял почти платину ,и хочу сказать на столько сырого мира открытого нигде нет,основной сюжет не плохой но такое если честно игра не стоит своих денег по скидки брать стоит,но только если 60+ процентов,всё равно игра не плоха как игроки это преподносят
