So yeah, sorry to burst your bubble, but a 68/100 Metacritic score feels too high for this game. The only thing I can recommend is the music, which is quite dramatic and lovely and really wasted on such a lackluster release. It’s not fun, it’s not engaging, it looks terrible. I would have to change the language or play it muted I think.Īfter less than half an hour, my mind was good and made up.

The game tries to be funny (I think?) but fails miserably. Truly awful writing, bad line delivery (though this is likely more about the writing than the actors) and it’s pretty constant. Speaking of annoying, the dialogue between the main protagonist and her magic bracelet is about as cringey as anything I’ve encountered in a video game in the last decade.I was bored after the third group of mooks. You should feel it when you tear through enemies, but it’s floaty and unsatisfying. This should be a game with constant crunchy hits landing. Meanwhile, you almost never feel like you actually connect when you hit enemies. You have all these powers but just selecting them is a chore. Though it takes inspiration from isekai-stories in which people from Earth are. GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers. Hell, if I didn’t know what this was and just saw some video I might peg it as a PS3 game, and not even one of the better-looking ones. 39.99 at Amazon 49.99 at Best Buy 69.99 at GameStop. For a game with such demanding specs that’s only releasing on PC and PS5, the graphics are shockingly last-gen. The open-world is bland and boring and it looks ugly. Forspoken is essentially split into two parts: talking to townsfolk and doing mundane side quests like feeding sheep or chasing cats in Cipal, and making your way to some specific point of.
