![]() ![]() ![]() This can lead to early stretches feeling a bit one-note as you hold the trigger to fire chunks of rock at enemies while occasionally dodging an attack. There are over 100 spells to wield in Forspoken – many of which appear genuinely exciting in gameplay trailers – but you’re limited to an unexceptional select few in those first chapters. Its quick nature and the way it always keeps you on your toes as you juggle its many magical abilities harbours genuine tactical promise. So yeah, sorry to burst your bubble, but a 68/100 Metacritic score feels too high for this game.Regardless of my defeat at the hands of more daunting foes, combat is where Forspoken is at its most engaging. 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. 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. 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. ![]()
