Product Description
Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home. Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses. Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.

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.
The story is a little bland if you’re familiar with Isekai stories from Japanese anime, but that is only a minor hindrance.
Both of the main leads Frey and Cuff have decent banter that was the source of a lot of excessive criticism from the Internet at large, but it’s really just fine. I set the banter on the “high” setting and never became bothered by it in my 30 hours with the game.
Exploration was initially a great motivation to make progress, but the open world started to lose its charm for me by the time I was half way through. Its redeeming feature is that the magical parkour remains fun with the slow introduction of new movement abilities.
Forspoken’s weakest link was its beginning. It takes between half an hour and an hour to even reach the magical new world of Athia, but even after reaching the world you’re still at least two hours off from being able to explore it. I was decently patient with it as I was playing through, but even I couldn’t help but demand freedom by the end of it.
Forspoken’s greatest strength, and the thing that made me enjoy it as much as I did was the combat and the powers. I felt like I was back in 2013 playing inFamous 2 for the first time. You can be as tricky or straightforward as you want, taking advantage of the environment all the while. Your collection of powers slowly expands, and you have the ability to strengthen the powers you do have by completing quests. This is honestly amazing.
If you’re still on the fence, there is a demo. Get a taste of the gameplay, and use that as motivation to get through the slog of an intro.
