1/10/2024 0 Comments Forspoken video gameThe 90-second gameplay trailer shows off Frey’s traversal, melee, offensive, and defensive abilities, as well as the array of beasts and baddies she’ll deploy those skills against. Frey agrees to help the last citizens of Athia, and she sets off on a journey to defeat the Tantas and discover her own powers. The villains here are formerly benevolent matriarchs, known as Tantas, who are now “maddened and evil sorceresses,” says Luminous Productions. She’s also landed in the middle of a serious conflict, where one side seems not to trust her, and another definitely does not. In a new trailer setting up the narrative, protagonist Frey Holland, a New Yorker, ends up in Athia, possessed of awesome supernatural powers, and not sure why or what to do about either. So yeah, sorry to burst your bubble, but a 68/100 Metacritic score feels too high for this game.Forspoken, the narrative adventure from Luminous Productions, will launch May 24, 2022, Square Enix announced at The Game Awards 2022. The only thing I can recommend is the music, which is quite dramatic and lovely and really wasted on such a lackluster release. It’s not fun, it’s not engaging, it looks terrible. I would have to change the language or play it muted I think.Īfter less than half an hour, my mind was good and made up. The game tries to be funny (I think?) but fails miserably. Truly awful writing, bad line delivery (though this is likely more about the writing than the actors) and it’s pretty constant. Speaking of annoying, the dialogue between the main protagonist and her magic bracelet is about as cringey as anything I’ve encountered in a video game in the last decade.I was bored after the third group of mooks. You should feel it when you tear through enemies, but it’s floaty and unsatisfying. This should be a game with constant crunchy hits landing. Meanwhile, you almost never feel like you actually connect when you hit enemies. You have all these powers but just selecting them is a chore. Hell, if I didn’t know what this was and just saw some video I might peg it as a PS3 game, and not even one of the better-looking ones. For a game with such demanding specs that’s only releasing on PC and PS5, the graphics are shockingly last-gen.
