I'm actually playing through this right now...currently about 60hrs played and enjoying it. The story is complete garbage and I skip everything with it and the conversations with the magic arm piece. Gameplay wise is where I'm enjoying it. The action is quick paced, the spell casting is high grade, the controls are nice, and some of the boss fights are fairly spectacular. This is one of those games that I'd be disappointed in at full cost but for $18, I've been quite pleased. I almost never ordered over the bad reviews and comments like the guy above...glad I took the plunge.

The spell casting is high grade?

Forspoken has the bones of a good game. The combat and traversal are punchy. Graphically, everything is fine and the rest of the technical elements are solid enough.

However, they surrounded those bones with a tired story and filled it with the worst dialogue and character interactions you can imagine. I've never played a game with a worst protagonist than Frey. She's beyond unlikable - how Square Enix thought this would be a good idea is baffling. It also creates the cardinal error of mistaking mindless and repetitive side quests in as content vs. actually contributing to the story.

The product devs held up their end of the bargain - it was the creative minds behind the game that have no business being part of future titles.

This is simply what they think the American audience has devolved into based off Twitter I think.

Lol at the thinly veiled reasoning for why this game is "bad". Like most rational people don't understand why most of you don't like the game 😂

I really enjoyed this game. I didn't hate the story like a lot of people and the gameplay is really fun. I did tweek the settings to make it a bit easier / more enjoyable for me though. Definitely worth it at this price imo.

A lot of content for $18. I'll never understand the hate this game got. I would have loved a second game to further build the environment but I liked this game.

Yup this guy is your source for a quality review. Thanks for the write up and your ability to sugarcoat one of the worst AAA games in recent memory. Don't get it twisted bud, I'm not biased by bad reviews of the mainstream gaming publications. Your opinion is your own and I'm glad you feel you got your money's worth. But don't at me like I watched one popular YouTubers review and went with it. This game is TERRIBLE!

I just finished this game & bought it from gamefly the last time it went on sale.
The first hour or two are pretty brutal & unenjoyable. The main character is indeed unlikable.
Once you slog through the intro of the game the gameplay is pretty fun.
Story is very mediocre but overall it is worth a playthrough.
Just don't judge the whole game on the first hour or two.

I think Square is trying to get their sales past 10 units Wink. I remember being so excited for this game and then .... Ouch! Metacritic between 2.1-3.7 depending on the platform Frown.
