Forspoken, despite its free PS Plus release nearly a year after launch, continues to spark heated debate among players. Even those who accessed it for free are divided on its merits, mirroring the opinions of those who paid full price.
The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions, including Forspoken and Sonic Frontiers, initially generated surprisingly positive buzz. However, this enthusiasm quickly waned for some Forspoken players. Many abandoned the game after a short time, criticizing the "absurd dialogue" and weak storyline. While others appreciated the combat, parkour, and exploration aspects, the overall consensus points to the narrative and dialogue as major detractors, making the game ultimately frustrating for those who engage with the story.
It seems the free PS Plus offering hasn't revitalized Forspoken's reception. The game's inconsistent quality remains a significant issue. In this action RPG, New Yorker Frey is transported to the breathtaking yet perilous land of Athia. She must use newfound magical abilities to navigate this vast realm, fight monsters, and defeat powerful matriarchs known as the Tants, all in a desperate bid to return home.
