Like those games, there’s a large explorable map filled with numerous activities to partake in and an endless horde of enemies to fight. Forspoken review: Gameplayįorspoken is an open-world action RPG akin to titles such as Horizon Forbidden West or Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. The only positive thing I can say about the story is that it serves as a good example of how not to write characters and dialogue. But being unoriginal isn’t the issue here.įorspoken’s narrative could have been wonderful with stronger writing and storytelling. (Image credit: Square-Enix)įorspoken’s story isn’t original, as even the game compares itself to Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz.

I’d give Forspoken a harder time about its bad dialogue and writing, but it’s unfortunately in line with what you'd see in contemporary movies and TV shows - but I won’t go down that rabbit hole.įorspoken has an interesting, if predictable, plot. The rest of the cast talk like generic fantasy stereotypes, but at least they’re mostly likable. I liked Cuff's British accent, but that's about it. I didn't find Cuff as annoying as Frey, but it's a close tie. I understand the writers wanted to make her seem like a street-wise New Yorker, but as a lifelong New Yorker myself, I’ve never met anyone who talks like Frey in my life.įrey has a talking vambrace she calls "Cuff," which serves to tell her (and us) about Athia. Her third-rate Joss Whedon-Esque quippy lines don’t help things either. As I said, Frey will flat-out tell you what she’s feeling instead of letting her actions show us. Speaking of insulting, the dialogue has got to be some of the worst I’ve heard in any medium.

You can get a glimpse of the dangers she’ll face in the new trailer:įrey is brilliantly brought to life by the actor, Ella Balinska and she had this to say. This new land is stunningly beautiful, but also cruel and deadly. In Forspoken, you’ll play the role of Frey, as she enters Athia for the first time. The studio’s philosophy is to create gameplay experiences that combine the latest technology with unbridled creativity-and that’s a pretty accurate way to describe their new game.įorspoken has been designed specifically for the PlayStation 5, taking advantage of the new console’s power and features to create a game that feels like a true next-gen experience. The game’s a narrative-driven adventure, and it’s developed by Luminous Productions. During Square Enix Presents, we pulled back the curtain further, revealing the world, character and its actual name: Forspoken. We originally introduced the game last year, as working title Project AThia. She’ll face many fearsome foes and overcome treacherous trials on a journey unlike any other.īut what exactly is Forspoken, and what can you expect from this exciting project? Thrust into the dangerous land of Athia, the young hero must learn to harness magical abilities to survive. This seemingly ordinary woman is the lead character in Forspoken-a brand new adventure from the talented team at Luminous Productions. And here are some additional details, via the Square Enix Blog:
