Forspoken isn't a bad game or a good game. It falls somewhere in between in a critical purgatory that can only be described as aggressively average. Our review:
Forspoken is a game that frequently presents its potential to the player in a way that is immediately attractive, but it fails to execute on its most important fundamentals. Is it a bad game? Not really. Is it a good game? Definitely not. It's somewhere in the space between, a critical purgatory that can only be described as incredibly average, much to the disappointment of PS5 owners looking for something new to help cure the January/February blues.
When Frey arrives in Athia with her companion, a talking bracelet named Cuff, she's immediately granted access to magical abilities, and it's actually done in a way I have never really seen magic handled before, for the most part. When you think of magic in a game, you may think of something like Skyrim where you shoot fire out of your hand.
Frey is also gifted with some magical parkour skills and superhuman agility. In the real world, she is skilled at parkour and navigating obstacles because she's so frequently running from trouble. In Athia, all of that is greatly enhanced to allow her to move like The Flash or some other speedster. While this is great for traversing the world, you'll also use it in combat to avoid attacks and maneuver around enemies.
As for the story itself, it's fairly intriguing despite the fact that it's aping a classic fairy tale. It's easy to empathize with Frey as a down-on-her-luck hero. There's a pretty sad shot toward the very beginning of the game where she lays down with her cat in her dingy apartment and you immediately feel for her. Despite all the trouble she causes, she's someone who is hurting and probably just needs a helping hand.
