About the Game


Mysteriously transported from New York City, Frey Holland finds herself trapped in the breathtaking land of Athia. A magical, sentient bracelet is inexplicably wrapped around her arm, and Frey discovers the ability to cast powerful spells and use magic to traverse the sprawling landscapes of Athia. Frey nicknames her new golden companion “Cuff” and sets off to find a way home.

Frey soon learns this beautiful land once flourished under the reign of benevolent matriarchs, called Tantas, until a devastating blight relentlessly corrupted everything it touched. The Break  transformed animals into beasts, men into monsters, and rich landscapes into four dangerous realms. At the center of their shattered domains, the Tantas now rule as maddened and evil sorceresses.

Unaffected by the Break and desperate for answers, Frey reluctantly agrees to help the last remaining citizens of Athia who see her as their only hope. Frey’s journey through this strange and treacherous land will take her deep into the heart of corruption where she must battle monstrous  creatures, confront the powerful Tantas, and uncover secrets that awaken something much more from within.

tl;dr: half-assed parkour FF15, but noctis is a sassy black girl and doing his insufferable post-altissia personality for the entire game, and the boys squad is replaced with a schizoid, genre-confused voice that so

A Misunderstood Gem with Incredible Gameplay I’ve put 41 hours into Forspoken so far, and I still haven’t even finished the main story because I’m having too much fun checking every single nook and cranny and collecting

Gameplay is ok. The story is a let down. The main character is insufferable. The final boss fight is also a bit bland. Overall, it is not that great.

Tough to recommend. Yeah mixed is about right. It's a shame there is a really good basis for a game here. The spells are cool, the combat is great and the main story even is quite good. Unfortunately it's all bogged
