Forspoken, a year post-launch, continues to spark heated discussions among players, even with its PS Plus free-to-play availability. Opinions remain sharply divided, mirroring the sentiments of those who purchased it at full price.
The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions, including Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers, generated surprisingly positive initial feedback. However, this enthusiasm waned for some after just a few hours of gameplay. Many cited "ridiculous dialogue" and a weak narrative as reasons for abandoning the game. While others appreciated the combat, parkour mechanics, and exploration, the overall consensus points to the story and dialogue as major detractors, rendering the experience unpleasant for those who engage with them fully.
It seems unlikely that PS Plus will significantly revive Forspoken's fortunes. The game's inherent inconsistencies remain a significant hurdle. Forspoken follows Frey, a young New Yorker transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. Armed with newfound magical abilities, Frey must navigate this vast realm, combat monstrous creatures, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate bid to return home.
